    Battery ground saws

    Full life span in the real word of dual battery Milwaukee with two, 12.0 forge: The stock chain is reduced kickback, semi chisel and bore cuts for shit so I didn't bother boring the tree. Normally I would have bored to get a more appropriate hinge thickness. I'm going to be trying some full...

    Kask face screen carrier breaking

    Anyone else having issues with the arms on the kask face screen carriers breaking quickly? Seems like these aren't lasting very long for us. red line on attached pic shows failure point. We do a lot of ground work and require full face screens. The petzl vertex screens were trash so we...

    Hope you tip your whale-oil lamp streetlight igniter every Christmas too! I'm just playing here. I won't argue the perils of lithium mining, or coal, or the extraction, refining and pollutant output of the fossil fuels used to run your ported saws either. Battery is another tool that has...

    Battery ground saws

    I feel that. lots of unknown with this battery stuff and you almost have to pick a brand/platform and just commit. I've tried my very best to spend other people's money in my battery adventure and so far have been lucky enough to rarely have to dip into my own pocket. Doubt I would have taken...

    Battery ground saws

    The single battery rear handle from Milwaukee is not professional grade by any metric. I wouldn't spend money on it unless I was a very occasional use homeowner. I have the power polesaw and prefer that over the stihl battery polesaws, haven't used the Husqvarna ones. I have the single...

    Battery ground saws

    Are you saying you have these sizes outfitted to the dual battery Milwaukee? I've heard rumor that the power polesaw will easily run a bigger bar but there are legalities in play that prevent battery power polesaws from being sold with bars longer than 10". I'm not hunting down legal wordings...

    Battery ground saws

    This is a great way to frame it. I never worry about how much mix gas I'm using cus I have an effective unlimited supply. If I had more batteries I would probably naturally adopt the same idea. I was out working yesterday and cut down another couple 22"-24" dead oaks and was flipping between...

    Battery ground saws

    Interesting. From my understanding, the high power mode increases power output but that basically translates to higher torque/less chance of stalling in a cut. It does not seem to increase chain speed. Which means the time it takes to complete a cut in low vs high mode is the same so long as...

    Battery ground saws

    What batteries do you run in the Milwaukees? Have you used the low setting enough to really see how it differs from the high setting? I have not used the high setting yet as I'm trying to just see what the low setting is capable of.

    Battery ground saws

    From today's job: dead but still solid, full of moisture at the stump red oak. Started with two slightly used 8.0 forge (3 of 4 battery indicators on). Notched it, dropped, bucked the log up in two places and started the stump flush. Made it about a bars width into the stump and the...

    Battery ground saws

    I only run winter grade through it. They don't build up heat from an internal combustion engine to loosen up stock bar oil viscosity.

    Battery ground saws

    Haven't ran them or tried to charge them in bitter cold. I'm curious about this as well.

    Battery ground saws

    Agreed. I am of the mind there is no reason to buy a gas top handle ever again. I have the Milwaukee top handle and its got torque for days. The ergonomics can be improved on it but I would choose it over a gas top handle every day. I was initially concerned about the weight of the dual...

    Battery ground saws

    Discussion on the larger battery ground saws that are out. We have the Stihl MSA 300C with 20" bar at work. I don't much care for all the button time outs when using it. Takes a special big battery to get full power. Looks cool though I got my hands on the Milwaukee dual battery saw and...

    Stupid stitches-Cut resistant gloves?

    I'm pretty sure that was me. Closest I ever came to dying on a job site was related to a pole saw falling free in a tree. Nothing happened thank god but it made me reevaluate my existence. I made a short lanyard with a 3" eye on one end and a dog snap spliced in the other out of like 1/4"...
