No argument there. I've realised this with the first chain. The local timber is hard on a chain but I wasn't helping with the new tool either. Having to sharpen so frequently I was being too aggressive with the file tool...and it was unnecessary. A much lighter touch and we are now okay. I still rate the tool because it was my technique that was at fault.
Have you arrange a videographer for the day?
I'm confident no branches will fall on you....they will jam the saw first, as they droop down while you cut from below.
There will be a ladder involved if the neighbor lends his to me, otherwise the kitchen table may be dragged out. Shall get some video in case things go wrong. We all need a laugh at times
Can't see that happening, plans are to do a shallow nick on the bottom and come in sideways, as stated, what can go wrong.
Yeah I have used pole saws before but not 5 metres long, well at least my new bike helmet will get some use, fear not, I'm a hard bastard. Many things in life have tried to kill me but gave failed. That damn reaper must be rubbing his bony hands with glee, the saw arrived today
Your guardian angel is looking out for you and broke it in transit.
Going to have a proper inspection tomorrow, bit of a let down
Really not sure what you were expecting for the brass. Was it off Wish, or something?
Honestly wasn't expexting a real lot, I did expect it to work for half an hour or so, it was for a one off job.
Naomi bought an ozito mini chaino a couple of years ago. Really just for the stuff I leave behind. After a couple of hours, I pulled the starter for her when it wouldn’t fire, the starter and half the saw came off, all the wiring and plastics ripped off. Bunnings wouldn’t warranty it even. Pus.
I have to agree with you, should of hired one as it was just for a few limbs. Just the idea of having my own tool if needed again sucked me in
Yeah, I must say, lesson learned
