Peasants tools, one tries not to get ones hands soiled if possible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Top notch gear, worth every penny

I dunno what model number our Stihl is, but when i took it for an overhaul the repair man got all misty and nostalgic about it It chews through hardwood railway sleepers like they're balsa wood. We've had cheaper saws, but they don't hold a candle to this old thing. They might be dear tackle, but you get what you pay for in life.

not at all, top tackle

not a chainsaw mind but the stone cutter, not that it matters.

My old man has had the same stihl saw (grinder) for as long as I can remember. Must be coming up 20 years now, and to my knowledge all he's done with it is change the blade & spark plug. It's a b*****d to start, but once it's going there's no stopping it. Probably start like a dream if the tight fecker put it in for a service now and again!

my mate was using a petrol stihl an he was cutting a curbstone, he ended up getting an electric shock from the sparkplug cap and this caused him to cut his knee. hes now got a 1 inch scar and it could have been worse i supose. the funny bit is he got the shock on his bell end
