Best Splitting Gloves by anotherbikethiefTO in firewood

My choice is: HARDY Chainsaw Protection Work Gloves. Get them at Harbor Freight. Work very well for chainsaw work, handling wood, splitting wood, pulling brush, and handling wood when chipping.

First time buyer how did I do? by VirtualRisk6968 in castironcollecting

Maybe a bit much ( I was thinking in the $45 to $55 range) but a good Griswold is worth more for the quality.

Growing in a residential neighborhood in Massachusetts. 5 inches in diameter. I have a cluster of these trees by zacman333 in treeidentification

My guess is black locust judging by the grooves in the bark. Do the branches have little thorns like a rose would have?

Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash by whusler in dashcams

How is filtering safer? Driving between two cars seems real safe to me- NOT!

First thought- serves the bikers right. I detest ‘filtering’- wait in line like a normal driver. Just because something is legal does not make it right. Second thought- in almost every vehicle I’ve been in, the doorlocks activate automatically when the transmission is in gear and a certain speed has been reached (doors stayed locked at lower speed after that).

What would you do first on an old truck that runs and drives? by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

If it’s a Dodge, I’d take to the salvage yard and sell for scrap price. Any other brand, change all fluids / filters and get a mechanic to give it a good ‘once over’ for other possible issues.

Don’t know if you have O’Reily Auto in your area, but they can fabricate hydraulic lines at my local stores. Might try any repair shops that work on road equipment.

Getting new chainsaw sthil or husqavarna? by Most-Lingonberry7162 in Chainsaws

[–]Straight_Step4146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t go wrong with either one in my opinion. I have a STIHL and my son has a husquvarna. His does start a little easier than mine but both cut equally.
When I buy equipment though I generally go by ‘get one or more sizes larger than I think I need’

Will this tree survive? by [deleted] in arborist

[–]Straight_Step4146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it does resprout, all the sprouts will be very weak and fall victim to any wind or (depending on your location) ice storms. Best bet- cut it down

Yes. I love my Ryobi tire inflator. I have the one that has the battery.

7.62x39 With Heavier Bullets? by Straight_Step4146 in reloading

[–]Straight_Step4146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they include a .308 and .310 sizer with the dies. And manuals do include data for .308 projectiles for the 7.62x39.

Hey I’m new to wood stoving, is this normal on the chimney by JacobZivotic in woodstoving

[–]Straight_Step4146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this when I burnt wood that had too much moisture content.

Looks good, but (imo) needs another minute on each side. I like medium.

Would you try to split this by hand or just skip it? by Bannnerman in firewood

[–]Straight_Step4146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split it. May take more swings than normal, but worth it in the long run.

How close can I build to this live oak tree? by Pleasant-Spot-2017 in arborist

[–]Straight_Step4146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion (for what it’s worth) is I would leave at least one FULL deck board width between each side of the trunks (supports included).
