    Avant Thread!

    That reminds me of one high end vineyardist client I had. He had a well drilled to get more water to pump out to his vines. He asked the crew to not smoke on his property as it was a dry time of year and dry area in general. While drilling they hit a pocket of gas...at which point one of the...

    Avant Thread!

    Cigarette butt and consistent wind making it glow cherry red, I could see that after watching a couple of videos of guys using blowers to amp up the lighting of a brush pile.

    New “ to me” Husqvarna Batteries?

    I have only used my new 220X one time and didn't perceive longer run time or more power delivery compared to 200X. But the release snaps definitely are easier to grab with a gloved hand. Maybe deeper well indention for glove to push into as well as more prominent ridge to depress.

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    Oh, by the way, that 60's model powersharp may have been an earlier rendition that failed to catch on. The chain was different. I bought an old Poulan powered one time that came set up that way from the factory.

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    The Power Sharp that I'm familiar with comes most usable as a kit. It has that yellow plastic device which holds a sharpening stone, a bar that fits your saw and let's the yellow sharpening device fit up to it firmly, and a specific PowerSharp chain. Yes cutting a big root or few I could get...

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    Ha! If you ever need to do big roots (10 and 12 inches on some here) consider using the Oregon Insta Sharp kit. You're still going to be some frustrated. You will ruin a chain but, given that you re-sharpen with the saws power in a few seconds it can make it doable to cut for a trench or in...

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    Good find. If my sawsall weren't far more cumbersome than a battery Echo I would get some now to try.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Anyone tempted to drag through sensitive areas might want to look up the (Slidder?). A thin plastic mat made to stack on and drag things around. A client bought one to drag things behind his garden tractor. It almost looks like an item I could use at times.

    Someone please design an industrial level version of the fiskar telescoping pole pruner

    I've got one coming just for the odd bigger cut when doing fine pruning. Interesting, I didn't know the Fiskars 6 to 12 Big Stick had a slipping issue - I've never used the polesaw attachment with mine. My brother has trees at his house and mentioned sharpening the saw blade. I said don't do...
