Oh yeah they still there,i was mountain biking there at night and they were freaking out cause my lights,must thought i was the five-0!!
The palm Slides off easier than actual wood most the time,sometimes its a real bitch to get a cut through the heads,they bind like no other andare reaaly heavy.
for me,when i do that angled slip cut on wood its the one time while chunking that I actually don't have to one hand the big saws.
I always shift to one hand while cutting straight/square when my saw gets toward the back and do a push pull motion to the piece to allow my saw to push through,then hang it back on saddle with one arm in a single motion .it truly amazes me the amount of weight i can muscle while saddled up.
