E-lite bar

[No_Bivy]

Anyone use/like these lightweight bars from sthil. They pretty nice and flexy.

I was quite surprised at how utterly useless I found it ( on the 020 / ms 200T) . I hadn't realised how much I use the rigidity of the bar until it wasn't there.

For instance, when I remove a branch which starts in a tight crotch and I'm not wanting to cut even the tiniest bit too far (into another branch) I use the strength of the bar to lever a bit to see if I'm almost through---impossible with the bendy bar.

Even flicking out a small bit of wood doesn't work as well.

I use the e-lite on all my climbing saws. I find it balances out the saw perectly.
