    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    I remember when stihl started putting them on their saws. Never liked them.

    Phone policy for tree crews

    On social media a see a lot of cell phone videos made by the drivers in heavy commercial vehicles. Some of these videos are filmed inside heavy cranes while being driven on the roadways. (Not hands free). It’s obviously dangerous but many don’t know how steep the fines are for phone use in...

    A piece of fire hose would work if you can find a way to hold it on the cable…

    Oh my handyman and landscapers!

    My dad used to say that most people remember what they paid, not how good of a job was done. As professionals we don’t prefer to work for “most people.”

    T540i XP vibration

    Yea I did do that. Got one spare. I guess a small wood chip must have caused the damage last time. Only 3 blades left!!

    Milwaukee telescoping pole pruner. First impressions

    Yea definitely heavy. It’s pretty easy to get used to though because there’s no cord to pull for the cut. Just a button

    Milwaukee telescoping pole pruner. First impressions

    Received it last week. We like it already. It’s very powerful and will cut up to 2” limbs. The only con so far is that the blade is not a good quality steel. Like other reviews have stated, it can get knicked easier than other commercial grade pole pruners (manual not battery powered)...

    T540i XP vibration

    Update Good news! The vibration was caused by a broken cooling fan. It’s plastic and costs anywhere from 5-20 bucks depending on where you buy it from. I discovered that the fan is fragile and it is a common issue with this particular saw. I am surprised at how much it vibrates and how...
