Nick, thanks for the link, but I was hoping that you might be pointing us to a place where you could somehow get a heated handle device to stick on a saw. A changeover can be done, by the way, aided by having some old appropriate parts. You might have to drill a hole arrangement for the switch. I took the heater parts from an 038 (I think it was) and stuck them on a smaller saw. It worked out real well to my delight. The switch was the only have to think about part.
 
... had one 372 w/heateds ... like Jay said, the switch ... some prankster would turn mine on during summer Ops ... don't run good! Whata Prank!
 
If it affect the running of the saw you have heated carb. Just heated handles don't affect the engine in any way.
Just gets a bit hot to to handle...
 
I don't imagine items such as heated handles and carb deicers would have much of a market in the US. Other than perhaps in northern Minnissota or North Dakota ,Maine where it gets colder than a well diggers arse .
 
Heated handles is good even in summer, spring and fall.
Any time temps are low or you are wet. It heats the hands and you get less problems with them.
 
I think a lot of that stuff just depends on the individual .Like old time carpenters after a life time of swinging a hickory handled framing hammer .Some had blown out elbows and fingers they couldn't straighted out and some did not .
 
I agree with Al, not everyone is suited for a certain occupation. I was blessed with fat hands with good circulation and in my 40 yrs running saws I never owned a saw with heated handles or had problems with my hands. Only owned saws with a heated carb to keep them working way up north here. I have tried heated handle saws though in the past and found the switch easily turned on or off when you don't want it to, from bumping againt brush etc.

Speaking of occupations I watched my lady dentist this morning put a filling in my 5 yr old daughters tooth and it was fascinating watching her work with precision with all these different tools. But upon talking to her she says her hands take a toll from the work she does day in day out and she claims heat helps remedy the problem.
 
The small motor skills of a dentist most likely would be better served by a womans sense of touch .I've seen dentists however that had the hands of a blacksmith with fingers that looked like a bunch of bananas .Probabley better as a dentist than a proctologist though .
 
Yeah I had a cutie for awhile when I still had non removable teeth .Damn her hide when she got through with me I didn't have any teeth .What's wrong with this picture ?:lol:
 
It can be good to have a dentist younger than you, so that you're more likely to 'retire' before they do. My mom's (and my childhood) dentist retired a few years back, right before my mom started having lots of dental issues at around 70 years old. She was very disappointed with the timing.

From heated handles to dentists.
 
None. My old dentist died so I went with the nearest one to me.

Back on topic - heated handles!!!
