FYI The Tool & Implement Thread

This thing was worth 3x what I paid for it. Just power washed 1,000 SF of concrete in half the time with the best results ever. Got it for $60 on Amazon and it paid for itself the first use. Wish I'd have bought one sooner!

Not familiar with that model. Wondering if this is the updated number for the MS250? It would be about that size and was also a fantastic little saw. Hope you get lots of chainsaw therapy out of that one.
 
Speaking of battery powered saws, I bought this back in July to keep on my tractor for small stuff. This thing is badass. I did a lot of looking before pulling the trigger and it lived up to the reviews. It's got a surprising amount of "umph" for a small saw. The battery lasts long enough to be satisfactory and the carrying case was a nice addition. If you're looking for a tool of this nature, this one gets a recommendation from me.

Yep, I picked up a ryobi version simply because I have numerous 18v batteries for ryobi.
Just cut up a 30’ long 6” tree that fell across the driveway yesterday.
Best part, no oil for the chain…. Keep it in the bed of the truck.

I have the same one in orange, different brand, same China factory. Sucker is handy as heck around the house and in the woods clearing lanes for ground blinds.
 
I wanted a smaller saw for cutting firewood and stuff. I picked up a stihl ms261. Its been a long time since i have used a saw with a bar shorter than 25 inches so that took some adjustment on my part. This is a badass little saw. View attachment 215835
That was the first pro saw I ever bought. Bought it used back around 2014 and still going strong. I added the 362c to the fleet around 2017 which is the saw I reach for the most now. Bought a trade in 500i 2 years ago from a dealer on my route and that thing is a monster, (in a good way). Aside from huge oaks and a couple large poplars I don’t find myself needing it often, glad to have it when I do though!

I'm becoming a Harbor Freight whore 😂

They opened one in Marietta about a year ago and I'm a regular for everything from tarps, ratchet straps, and zip ties, to tools I need sparingly and don't want to pay 2-3x for just to get a brand name. Like this 36" bar clamps. The Irwin version at Lowes were $42. I got two from HF for the same price. These sawhorses are badass and again, basically got 2 for the price of 1 if I were shopping at Lowes or HD. I also got a small rubber "persuader" for delicate matters like this dresser drawer. It was $5. They even gave me a pack of free zip ties today. Any tool that falls in the "nice to have, but won't use a lot" category, gets bought from HF these days.

The fold-up sawhorses are the real deal! Nice work. I love me some HF for certain items.
