Chain saws...again, and no fluffy battery stuff.

[sailUSVI]

I have tree carnage that needs cleaning up after the freeze, already bought the echo pole saw for 400 bucks and now I’m looking to upgrade my small stihl . Only option is Echo....anyone have one of these ? After the tree cleanup I have about 100 pieces of LARGE oak that needs to get smaller.

Damn. Good firewood

i would think a small engine shop would have a better selection vs HD... paging youngzrxer

Pretty happy with my little echo tonka saw for trail maintenance....

 

[Bandit Man]

Ever consider Dynamite?

I bought an Echo leaf blower and weed eater 30yrs ago, they are both going strong, zero repairs since I bought them, may need new purge bulbs this season!

Rob, I bought an Echo 16inch chainsaw last year and it’s a nice tool for the money.

Echo is a Japanese Company, some credit them with making the first leaf blower by modifying some kind of plant sprayer. I have a Sthil MS270. Don't need tools to adjust the chain. Pretty sweet setup.

 

[sailUSVI]

Went ahead and bought it, let the saw dust fly...


Snail, I didn’t seek your expert opinion and input because of the limited selection in our one horse town.

 

[BIggerDanno]

Mine is over 40 years old. Runs great , never a problem!

 

[Terry_Schiavo]

Master-Cylinder should take note of the Work Waukee tools... not that black & yella default garbaaage

 

[Stetson]

That old Echo is mint! She'd shine right up if you gave her a little love.

Put a Finbro head and Tegagawa piston big bore kit and punch it up to 127cc. Then it will go 100mph

I have a PW620, it eats everything, echo is a great choice.

Been a Millwalkee guy for many years, between my 2 boys and I we have a staggering amount of Mill stuff. Got into some busted copper pipe today also, 7 different breaks in one house, so far my youngest boy is a home remodeler/builder and we tried out this new tool he picked up at the pawn shop ( I hate pawn shops), what a bad ass piece of kit. No jacking with trying to solder a dripping copper pipe, which is damn near impossible (I don’t like jamming bread in the pipe) to sweat a decent joint.

wouldn’t want to tork you off

nothin’ wrong with the yellow stuff but if you make your living with hand tools....Hard to beat mill.

Just watched a couple videos on that.
It's connected to your phone? I understand locking out a stolen one, but uploading every press for data? wtf for?

 

[sailUSVI]

Austin, not sure what you mean? Connected to phone ? Uploading ? Just what are you referring to?

 

[zxfan]

I use my Propress tool almost every day and can't say enough good things about. When fitting multiple joints its very helpful to take a Sharpie and mark the pipe at full insertion. That way you easily see if the pipe has backed out before you press. Saves fittings and time. Ask me how I know.
He is going to love that thing.

So... Milwaukee tracks you and all your tools, how aboot FUCK THEM!

 

[Austin_F]

I'm sincerely hoping that's an option you have to sign up for and activate, probably even a monthly or yearly subscription.

 

[Austin_F]

There's just no beating that m18 system though.

IVe told this story before. My brother bought the ice auger attachment for ice fishing. Said you can dig 100 holes before running out the battery.

no more oil and gas and hauling around some big heavy turd to the lake.

 

[bowtie]

I made a little siphon outta some 3/16's clear tubing, stick it in the pipe and remove/blow the water out before soldering ... works well. Just fixed a leak at slab that way ..

Millwalkee makes some good shit as long as you dont buy the tools at Homie Dopot. The have their own line from Millwalkee that has more plastic parts and not quite as roust as buying other places.

which models? I find that.hard to believe so we'll need some.proof

 

[sailUSVI]

my guess is, if the model numbers are the same then so is the tool.
