    I'm hoping to learn Re various chain-types for climbsaws (10"-->18" chain), not just "get Pro" but understanding the teeth/etc..

    So far as I can tell there's really 4 variables for chains, in this order-of-importance (regarding cut-speed) 1 - size of tooth (3/8"LP, like all mine, versus 3/8" like I wish they were!) 2 - size of rakers ('pro' chains seem to have this as their primary advantage over 'safety/homeowner'...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    Before going the porting route and eagerly addressing Mr Frankie's awesome posting, I wanted to say thanks as the impact gun (with confident force & position and just torque the hell out of it) made it come off as-if that were the normal/routine manner, don't think I'll ever stop-up a cylinder...

    [saw & B&C reco's sought] My biggest saw is a 42cc/18"...w/ the storms coming I feel naked, uncertain what to buy :/

    So I was under a false-impression that it'd be OK to put a >30" B&C onto an echo 590 (which'd let me "affordably" get a 3' or near-3' bar saw) Now that I know I can't get close to that size onto a 590, I'm kinda stuck...I don't want my 42cc 18" to be my biggest saw, it's hardly bigger than my...

    How rare/outlier would you guys say I am being that my only 'tending' is a micropulley under my hitch? I am a real small guy, even going up with a lot of gear I'm hardly >150lbs, so maybe I'm just not causing hitch-jams as badly....though TBH I don't really even put pressure into my hitch...

    Thanks will check that out now!! Precisely the type of vid I was hoping for it seems :D

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    Thanks for such a thorough reply, very appreciated!! Some Q's: - Re porting you refer to it as "Increasing cut-speed"....was that just a manner of speaking, or were you meaning to imply/explain that port jobs are more of a speed thing than a power / torque thing? I know they are related to a...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    This is realllly what I was hoping to hear, I don't know why but I've had unusually bad luck in the past with plug-wires especially the boot (where it holds the butt of the plug, where there's that metal coiling inside the rubber end of the plug-wire) I'm always careful-as-can-be but have had...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    Any tips on how to discern what types of flywheel are prone to this? Also, what if I hold that side of the spindle (flywheel side's nut) with a wrench? Wouldn't that "take the force" before the flywheel key could shear? BTW off-topic Re your signature, since it's been on my mind since I got a...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    To people just saying 'air gun' and 'impact driver' -- are you meaning by itself or with the piston stopped-up? Just wanna be clear! Going to attempt the "gun it with the impact drill", if that doesn't work - am surprised I hadn't thought of this - but holding the flywheel's nut should work...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    (btw I should probably ask because this is the 2nd time I've had to do this-- Do you guys' saws ever develop squeels/squeeking from the clutch? I am referring to a squeek caused by the clutch//shaft interface (IE the squeel is there independent of whether you've got the chain-brake on) I ask...

    Any way to remove a clutch/sprocket *without* jamming-up the cylinder?

    Guess I'm almost wondering if, if I have it fast-enough and just throttle the drill, that maybe just maybe I can screw-off the clutch (IE just relying on the torque on the clutch - CCW torque of course - being greater than the pressure to move the piston) F'ing hate having to jam the cylinder...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    WOW what a game-changer!!! Because I only had 2 viable bags for it, I didn't want to shoot at trees and risk losing one before a job (since I was confident enough it'd perform fine on-job) so my 1st real test, my first vertical to-tree shots, were all on Fri at a job where I was to remove two...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    Thanks! And my thinking exactly, I mean not only did I spend like 1/3rd of retail (and maybe an hour, total, of setup), but now if/when I break the unit I can simply go to home depot and replace it, no down-time! Could you do me a favor & double check your barrel-tube? I'd presumed yours was...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    Are you using grips on it? I put front&rear grips on mine yesterday (and used black tape to cover the chamber, & matte black spraypainted the barrel & grips!), they - especially the front grip - make soooo much difference to controlling accuracy!! By similar setup - to be clear - you mean a...

    ISA/TCIA affiliations & certifications for a "new solo climber"? Want my TRAQ cert, uncertain if I should *join* ISA...or go for it just yet...

    Thank you!! Last Nov I insured myself because being a contract climber in my area sucks, then endured nearly 6 months of fighting to keep my schedule full (including Sat&Sun "hunting for trees & knocking when I find them" / fliers sessions, wearing branded t-shirts anytime I'm outdoors etc)...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    Oh-- What's highest pressure you guys are comfortable with? I know it says 220psi but couldn't imagine trying for that, I haven't gone much over/at 130psi on mine (standard 2' long, 1.5" pvc chamber) I did tape up the pressure chamber, am guessing it'll help a little at least lol, not that i'm...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    lol I hear this said about air cannons, by bigshot-guys (lol gotta love it) Thanks for the suggestion, I ordered a 14oz Notch which arrives mid-week and a 12oz Weaver to arrive Tues, in the meanwhile I'm good at stitching...I have made my first bag and am hoping it gets me in-tree tomorrow...

    Throwbag-suggestions for 1.5"-wide Air-Cannon usage? (*besides* Weaver 12oz!)

    So I've made a "generic" 4' long, 1.5" thick PVC air-cannon, thing works well enough so far as I can tell but I don't have a proper throw-weight for it!! In reviewing others' cannons, the two most-recommended bags are: 1 - Weaver 12oz, and 2 Stein 14oz Would greatly appreciate more options...

    Oceans-- No you cannot be licensed in my area, there is no license (til about 2yrs ago, the local counties' Business Taxes - usually $50/yr paid when you declare you're doing XYZ business in their county - used to be called Occupational Licenses, so lots of guys use that license-#, even though...

    Are you a member of the local chapter? When signing up I did not elect to pay the extra $30 to "be a member of the FL-ISA chapter" (couldn't really understand why I'd wanna do that, they didn't 'sell it' very well lol) but maybe reporting to your local chapter would make the difference? I've...
