Chain looks too loose
I have the makita saw its ok for small stuff.
Even if you are just cutting toothpicks, please tighten that chain!
if you pull it away at the bottom (with the battery removed!) and let go it should just about return snug against the bar.
Can’t go wrong with makita and Milwaukee
eye an ear protection.. but then you’re wearing sneakers and no safety chaps…
Enjoy the new toys!
Very nice new toy to play with
Great unboxing video Shawn!
Very nice
The line spool sucks it moves when trying to cut the line I would not recommend.
*This saw is amazing!>>>**ur2.pl/765** So much power and definitely a professional grade machine.*
Good looking stuff
Would you sharpen blades with this grinder? If so, would you post another video of that? 🙂 A saw and grinder, are kind of like a drill motor…tools nearly any swinging dick needs in the box, and can benefit from. Got a ton of nut, cherry, and sourwood trees here in the south, that the silkworms took out last year. If she’ll cut lumber, she’ll go thru the little trees just fine. Another great video, grind that trailer… 🙂
I’m not a fan of that grinder guard covering half of the bottom of the wheel seems like it would get in the way. Chainsaw dosent seem to be built sturdy but of course that’s just from what I can see and I haven’t used it. You don’t need ear protection for a battery operated chainsaw, but you may have sensitive ears.
I lent my electric chainsaw to my mom and sister. They apparently poured gasoline into the place where the oil should go and it ran out. Can’t lend your tools to anyone…
For me that does not look efficient because every time u stop it u have to turn it on mine is a safety and then run and it is a battry
sweet. I’m becoming more and more of a fan of battery equipment. Just a couple of years ago they were awful, not anymore though!
Hey spencer just a quick tip for when you don’t have your tool for changing the grinder wheel, if you just tighten the nut that holds the disc in place with your fingers, you can grab the grinding, or cutting whee and turn it with you hand, my ryobi and dewalt do that I figured your would, also I’m sure you know but on the chainsaw don’t tighten the chain too tight.
Did u guys get snow last night then it melted today?
You buy it or did they send it to you?
First. Do you plan on getting a new truck this year?
Nice. I’m always a bit skeptical of battery powered tools like chainsaws, trimmers..etc
I would love that combo.
Get some 80-grit flap discs and that grinder will be awesome for sharpening mower blades. I haven’t used my bench grinder(s) in a couple of years. You’ll like flap discs bettern than those cheap “rocks” since flap discs polish as they cut and don’t gouge the surface. A pack of cutting discs make them a great weapon for removing rusty hardware.
Get the sanding wheel for the trailer work the grinding wheel is over kill and a PIA..
You might want to buy a respirator for use with that grinder because all of the metal dust and rusty crap gets in your lungs and it is toxic!
