I want to try a zig zag am hoping it will work ok with the rope I already have I heard its doesn't work well with chubbier stuff I know specs on paper say up to 13mm but my mate said it won't work well with what I have which is 12.6mm. Thanks Yale XTC-Plus Rope Spliced | Honey Brothers HONEYBROS.COM Yale XTC-Plus Rope Spliced from Honey Brothers. The largest equipment...

Remeber friends be kind

Eye, and if you don't wear your chainsaw boots to the forestry shows you ain't in the trade
-
Looks pretty cool with those caps....and we all know the cooler it looks the better it cuts
-
Will do! my old one was a bit of a tit to start somtimes. Put an hour on it yestuday instantly remembered why it was my favourite saw before the mishap such an angry little wasp of a saw and so light
-
Honey bros. Yep 1/4 . Shouldnt really say what I paid but it wasn't a lot. I'm fairly certain the carving bar that's on it is slightly different from the last one I had (sold it so cant do a side by side) cant notice any other changes
-
Got bored of waiting for a 151 to come into stock so here she is... not quite never again but I havnt used an echo for a month ?.... also forgot how cheap these are as well
-
All this no/slow delivery blaiming c19 is just lazy people looking for something to blame amazon still next day delivery radmore and tucker still nexday all the rest just looking for an excuse typical British attitude I hope the companies who didn't push through this fall by the wayside and those who worked through rise to the top.... saying that I am sat in me garden in me boxers in the sun eating barbeque and NOT working but I did wash the truck do the lawn trim the hedges teach my 6 year old to start the mower swings and round abouts

By mad money do you mean 3 coupons from yer ration book ? ?
-
Yeah I saw that's as soon as he said his mod leaked fuel and the new bar studs were working their way out I started looking for a new saw. I used to like tinkering with my kit now I just want it to work spot on all the time no tinkering
-
It has been said that I'm heavy handed but Its definitely all the saws fault and not mine and anybody who disagrees is wrong.... obviously I never ever got it stuck in a cut or pulled it out of said cut....honest guv
-
That's the thing I forget sometimes when googling a problem.....for every moaning thread in a forum theres probably 10,000 happy customers not moaning. Thanks for your input I've bought bits from skylanders in the past and delivery/customer communication was top notch!!
-
I should have called this thread once bitten twice shy ?
-
Yup might not be common but once is enough for me
-
We had 2 of their bigger tophandles on my last firm. they were wicked me old boss chucked em out of the tree into the brash pile sometimes never any problems over 3 years and they never got any mechanical attention.
-
Bugger. Although those are home use saws I think, the ones I have are forestry spec although I could be wrong I'm just a user not a mechanic
-
Yep the filter covers are shite although I just got a 2019 one and the plastics all seem a lot tougher than my older ones and the filter cover and oil/fuel covers extra are secure compared to others I've used
-
So your telling me a bad saw cant leave the factory? It's never happened, sounds a bit naive to me
-
Hopefully i get a good 150 and I got a bad echo I did really like the saw and did sing its praises but when the stud came out and the metal insert disintegrated in my hands like foil my mind was made up. I used to try to use the 201 for everything but it gets a bit snatchy with the smaller stuff also it's great to have a pruning saw you cant even tell is on the harness. To be honest it was a knee-jerk reaction to sell the echo and buy the stihl but if I'd got another echo and it happened again but worse I'd only have myself to blame. Also I didn't like that the chain adjuster was built into the chain cover.
-
Had it sold and 151 ordered before lunchtime today... only lost £250 on it ?
-
Just put a brand new chain on, left bolt a bit loose as I'm wary of how fragile this tiny thing is, chain became slack nipped it up slightly more nowhere near as tight as my 201s or 261 or 661 ect.... and it shit itself. I definitely wasnt heavy handed with it ever obviously something made it come out but saw has been babied more than any other bit of kit own. Loved the power to weight and the fact it has no chip in it but i love my fingers more
-
I'm very very glad it didn't do any real damage. In all honesty putting this up in the forum as a warning to others is as far as I'll take it. paperwork, emails finding E-receipts is all a bit bothersome,. I will have forgot by tomorrow and will definitely have forgot by tuesday when my stihl 151 turns up.
-
Yep and as it's a know issue you would think there would be a recall or redesign but it seems if you have a problem they "fix" it by adding a foil sleeve for the bar stud to screw into....no thanks very much I'll go back to stihl
-
Less than 6 months old has been babied the whole time use my 201s for most stuff. Heard it's a known issue they should fix/discontinue it!! imagine if it had took a finger. Who beds a bar stud into plastic? Bloody stupid design wasted a good 10 minutes of work time cleaning me hand up!!
