Stihl cat toy...er...laser pointer

[Tom Dunlap]

This is sooooo clever!

The last setup for cutting to length would be useful. I wonder if it can be set short to cut firewood lengths.

but the tree missed the rock...another example of dumbing down our world. Certain tasks are supposed to take skill. That's why people call us to fell trees.

 

[Treezybreez]

That is neat. I wonder how durable it will be and how bright.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Chep..it was supposed to miss the rock...or didn't you see how it was gunned/sighted?

Or...are you making a funny?!

 

[chep]

I was making a funny...i think? I just dont see the point. On another note, it would get broken real quick. I tried mounting a counter, a thumb clicky thing (for counting cut trees in the woods) in the same place and it got ripped off so quick I couldnt believe it.

I think the anti gravity module and telemetrics, which make the saw float and cut without an operator are the real technological breakthroughs. The laser is just a gimmick.

If I had one I'd consider putting on a lanyard, probably a retractable one so I didn't loose it in the rough.

If it is used for arbo work in people's yards it is simple enough to take it off and put it in the toolbox with the scrench, files and stuff.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

I found out that the laser is real but isn't available in the US...yet.

that's all I know. Pester your Stihl dealer if its something that you want.

I like the measurement deal for bucking.

Beats having fiberglass sticks attached, or messing with paint cans upside down.

Here is the part number but it seems to be only in Europe.

1141 400 0200

Is anyone connected with Stihl US who can run this down?
