I remember when I was kid seeing an infomercial for "Genuine Faux Diamonds". I had to ask my parents what faux meant. It kind of scrambled my brain when I realized what was going on.

Anyone seen the Pocket Hose?

https://www.pockethose.com/?MID=3451795

I bought it. SPOILER ALERT! It's a piece of crap.

I bought 2. They both broke within the first 5 minutes of use. I called them up, explained the situation. They just sent me 2 more.

I figured out how to take the nozzle odd the end, cut the broke hose sections off and reclamp the fittings on it, so I am using the original hoses. Have the new ones as back ups.

They sell those at WalMart.

Just a heads up, that pocket wedge I bought a while back ain't worth a shit - it's just too small. Cute to wear as a necklace, maybe.
 
Butch will just have to swap his T200 for a crosscut saw, then it'll work for him.
 
To keep a kerf from closing, more so when bucking logs (not saw logs), I start in with the saw a whisker, then pull out and make a diagonal cut into the first cut. Make a wedge basically. Then whack the wedge with the bar of the saw into the log. The resume cutting. Kerf cant close with the wedge in there. Unless its outrageous sized wood from hell.
 
Yes, a whisker. If Im about to saw through a 2' diameter log, and I know that part way through the log will bind the saw up, rather then cut in from the opposite side, sometimes I just cut down into it a ways, maybe 8 inches, pull out, make a wedge out of that initial slice, maybe a 3" deep wedge, and whack it down into the cut with a tap from the saw bar. Stick the saw back into the kerf and boogey away. Keeps from beating on my lower back with upward cuts. The same can be done in a tree though.
 
I still carry wedges when I buck logs... You can read a log all you want.... but a wedge will save your butt sometimes if you read the bind wrong. Whisker...under cut, boring cut, what ever... sometimes it's just best to stick a wedge in the kerf and drop the log.
 
The only times I have needed a wedge for bucking is when the bar got stuck.. More brains sometimes works equally as well.
 
I generally keep a wedge with me when bucking bigger wood. It compensates for my lack of brains.
