    FWIW, Elmer's has a product called Slide-All that consists of finely powdered Teflon in a fast evaporating/penetrant carrier. Near perfect 'biner lube. And ,Yes I know that a slowly closed Jake hangs up without locking and fails with some gear inspectors. I don't care- I snap 'em closed, verify...

    Self cutting in a choked lashing-----but so long as extremes are avoided it will probably serve well enough. Some of the extremely strong fibers have little practical strength gain when used in normal rigging situations. Polyester remains a supreme git r' done cordage material. With Nylon being...

    . That is inadequate. How can a mature arborist possible function with less than 1 dozen chainsaws at his immediate disposal?

    If your "area" is getting pinched with just about any leg strap saddle, loosen the back retaining straps and loosen the leg straps themselves. Most of the pinching of privates comes from cinching everything up. Most of us start out buckling ourselves in as tightly as possible because it feels...

    I was somewhat surprised when I looked up the specs on the Super 650 before buying it-Vibration isolators and 12000 No load RPMs on a 100cc saw 30 years ago made it honestly competitive with the European saws of its day and still comparable to current big boys-though a bit heavier. It also had a...
