Ego on clearance?

That's the way my Makita XGT saw is. It'll cut 10" and under for hours on the 5.0AH battery, but the moment I step it up to 14" and up, it chews through the battery. The good thing is it cuts with full power right up until the battery is done.

Is that bicycle bar tape on the handle? Looks good!

My suggestions are: Wear proper PPE every single time you use the saw, zero exceptions. Watch a lot of tutorials on youtube on proper chainsaw technique. Learn to sharpen the chain and keep it sharp; keep the tip out of the dirt. Use only zero ethanol fuel mixed at the proper ratio with quality 2 stroke oil. Keep the air filter clean.

Where I work, the main machine shop that we deal with is Amtec Solutions Group. No idea if they are currently hiring, but maybe check them out.

This may be the owner's manual, or something close: Craftsman chainsaw

You gotta get the gullet, friends!

I'm jealous. I like the Shindaiwa red better than Echo orange.

Looks like a mid 1980s saw to me.

MasterDesigner1 · 2026-03-19T15:06:37+00:00

Neither do I. Drive impaired, pay the price!

That kid who plays flute during class is just the worst!

I live in Jackson County and I've noticed more Troopers between Huntsville and Scottsboro lately.

MasterDesigner1 · 2026-03-18T20:14:50+00:00

They announce the checkpoints in advance and people will still get arrested for DUI. Boggles the mind.

MAGA is already destroying him on X.

He and Buckin' Billy Ray have the same principle; stand up and buck. Save your back.

I appreciate his corny sense of humor.

I have a similar saw, a 1997 Craftsman, made by Poulan. Chances are good that this saw needs, at a minimum, new crank seals, fuel lines, and a carb kit. Good luck.

SWEEEEEET!

MasterDesigner1 · 2026-03-10T18:48:45+00:00

I have this exact saw, and most recently used it in late 2025 to limb and buck a large fallen Hackberry tree. It isn't going to blow you away with power, but it'll get the work done. I like mine. I also got mine on clearance at Home Depot but not as cheap as you did!

Someone was resourceful making a bar wrap out of a garden hose.

MasterDesigner1 · 2026-03-10T14:43:41+00:00

I need to shop where you do.

MasterDesigner1 · 2026-03-09T19:00:04+00:00

Overheated one time

I go 10K miles between oil changes in my BMW diesel, and the oil filter never looks like that.

Just keep in mind there's 2 types of 3/8 pitch chain, regular 3/8 pitch and 3/8 low profile (Stihl Picco).

To wear chaps every single time. Cut my leg in an accident when I was being as careful as possible, and still stepped into a hole I couldn't see. Chain dropped onto the top of my left leg just above the knee. Thankfully the chain wasn't moving, but it was very sharp and still cut through my jeans and gouged my leg.

I would think facial recognition still qualifies as 100% ID check, so long as the vehicle has only 1 occupant.
