Weapon of Choice

[TonyNY]

Climbing saws like all other gear and techniques in this business are unique to the individual. Post pics of your primary climbing saw. I know what we are going to see a lot of for sure. Let me be the first.....

 

[Burnham]

No duh!

 

[MasterBlaster]

The same as your's Tony, but with a 16" bar and my chain brake fell off!!!

 

[treesmith]

How do you keep your saw so pristine Tony? Mine gets all scratched up, sorta like Butch's, 'cept mine still has a brake.

 

[SkwerI]

Is that your first? It's nice and pretty, like the ones on the dealer's shelf. Mine get used and abused like high dollar whores.

2139T JonnyRed.

Brian...

 

[Thor's Hammer]

'Weapon?'

 

[NeTree]

Yeah, but it gets dull after only two limbs.

 

[TonyNY]

Well, I just bought that 200T today. Up until today I was using this little gem.....finicky little suckers they are.

 

[NeTree]

Finicky? Mine's been a trooper. Did you put a Yankees sticker on it or something?

 

[TonyNY]

Well between you and I, (and I suppose everyone else on here) I am a Red Sox fan. My own family rejects me..lol.

[OTGBOSTON]

We have a winner! Yankees pronounced skank-eez.

I'm not going out to the garage to take a pic of my 200t, mines has the 'lite' bar on it. 14" cuz I ain't a size queen.

 

[Jason Gairn]

Balanced saw, black socks.

 

[Greenhorn]

Well, I just bought that 200T today. Up until today I was using this little gem.....finicky little suckers they are.

That little red saw looks pretty new, must have really disliked it to buy another saw already.

 

[TonyNY]

Actually I have had the Jonsered for over a year. It has seen some good use. I just keep my saws clean. I suffer from a minor OCD when it comes to my gear and tools. Every weekend the saw gets blown out, wiped down and so on. They are expensive tools so I like to make sure they keep making me money with as little down time as possible. I know it may seem weird, but that's me.

 

[NeTree]

We have a coupla guys you should get on well with, then.

 

[SkwerI]

Erik, he didn't say a word about waxing them.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Will waxing keep the pitch from sticking?

 

[Al Smith]

A pair to draw to .Stocker in the front, super bee in the back .

 

[Bodean]

Does the red saw run the same as a husky 335?
I ask cause they look very similar.

 

[NeTree]

Kinda like the 338XPT, but the quality seems much better.

 

[Bodean]

Thanks. Genuinely curious.

 

[TonyNY]

I have owned and used the 338XP Husky. The Jonsered is nearly identical, but does seem made better. More solid and they finally fixed the spark plug cover. Unfortunately though, the power of the 2139 is consistent with that of the 338.

 

[NeTree]

Not if you do the easy-peasey muffler mod.
