If your a dedicated workshop, then contact “safetykleen” their product is ace [emoji108][emoji106] we’re on contract with them at work, so they come in once a month and swap barrels, they take the old used cleaner away and remanufacture it leaving you with a barrel of clean stuff.

Magnetron......Geiger........ we in an episode of Transformers, robots in disguise [emoji6]?? -
Would love to see a nice chunky piece done, a table or a solid door... something like that. I wouldnt chuffing dare to do it myself, two things i dont get on with in life.... mechanical/air sprung pressures (i’m a hgv mechanic during the day) and electricity!!! I’m REALLY cautious with the pair, they always make me think twice and constantly question myself over and over [emoji849][emoji848][emoji849] its only cos i’ve witnessed them both in action go wrong, wasnt good! You got anymore pics of stuff you’ve done?

I had a serious case of mares tail going on in my front and back garden when i bought my house, its took me 5 yrs to get on top of it using “clinic” and “gallop” which are farm grade (high concentration of glyphosate) you can’t buy it over counter anymore as of sept last year unless you have a spraying licence. It will destroy any weeds thats for sure, i recommend it for a resolve on your weeds defo! As above, just throw a mask on and some rubber gloves [emoji106]

Thanks rough hewn, The bar i have on it reads 3005 000 6309 but cant make anything else out on it [emoji30] visually it looks thin, 3/8 1.1 or 1.3mm but cant be sure? The maintenance / owners manual states 14” 3/8 but tells ya no more. As its not my saw i darent risk taking a punt on it being 1.1 or 1.3mm for obvious reasons. My gut feeling is 1.3mm but could do with being sure [emoji37][emoji106]

You running an additional adaptor inline to your gunson gauge / line? That can cause a questionable reading, often lower that what is realistic. Spuds the man tho [emoji106]

Hi guys, can anyone help please, had a lad drop a 009 off with me that was bogging down under revs. Fit new carb kit and saw now runs sweet. Hes requested i source and fit a new chain, only thing is i cant get any info on what chain it should run? The bar is in very good condition with visible part number stamped 3005 000 6309. Its a 14” bar, from what info i can get from the maintenance manual, and it states its 3/8 pitch, but cant get any more info than that? Can anyone help with a specific part number for the chain please, he wants it to be a genuine stihl chain too. There are no markings on the original chain at all so i cant even decide from that ?!! It has been filed to the max so is desperate to be replaced. I’m thinking it should be part number 3617 000 0050, can anyone concur? Thanks guys.

Did ponder on some pants with sawn in braces, gets frustrating keep pulling ya pants up and re fettling yaself, and you look odd to passers by [emoji6]? some husky pants on bob richardson tools & fastners website at £65 that looked ok for the money, but then i get baffled with class ‘a’ ‘b’ ‘c’ etc. I just take it that the more expensive ones will be better ??

Anyone rate the lower priced chainsaw trousers £60 - £100 price range, promised to buy myself some for obvious reasons. You never know what could happen when using your tools, i’m not a pro like most of you guys so dont want to invest hundreds in to clothing but do appreciate the dangers so want to buy something. Any advice is much appreciated [emoji106]

Cheers guys, shall seek and find, taa very much [emoji106]

Well i’m no pro, its all purely for myself what i do, not cos i’m selfish or owt. I’m a hgv mechanic through the day, house bashing and wood cutting on an evening and weekends. Been using my chainsaws to deal with the bulk, a bomb for odd knotty bits with the help of a wedge (rough i know [emoji51]) and electric / hydraulic splitter for some, rest of it with an old rusty axe my dad gave me. Thats hard work tho cos it has a short handle like you say and rattles me a bit every now and then. Be happy spending £40 - £60 on something, possibly a tadge more if ya can recommend owt? I’m 5’10” 12.5 stone quite broad and can, to be honest in my own opinion, swing a sledge / mell fairly well, (was brought up on a farm and made to knock posts in from an early age whilst balancing off old milk crates [emoji15]?) any ideas would be great. Cheers

Talk about leaving us hanging...... coming soon!!! [emoji30][emoji849][emoji35]

@neiln, would you stick with the traditional wood shaft, or do you rate the fibre reinforced shafts? I’m thinking more for vibration / shock reasons, only because i have an odd bad day here and there with my fingers and hands due to 20+ yrs of spannering and working in all environments.
