It always surprises me that no matter how hard you work for you channel there are those that can’t give you atleast a thumbs up? 👍👍👍I know first hand what it takes to do our job. Time away from family & friends to continue doing your job & still they still give you a thumbs down? The nay sayers are probably the ones that could never do our job. Let alone take the time & commitment to do our job. Lastly could never do this job for thirty, forty or fifty years. I run into folks that say we must have balls bigger than a dump truck to do what we do everyday. None of my personal friends could hold a candle to what we do? We are in our own class. My hats off to you brother for keeping the lights on in your part of the world! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Might mention that carrying a couple extra chains can save time. If you dull a chain, it's quicker to swap in a sharp one than sharpen the one on the saw. You can do a better job of sharpening a chain back in your shop. Extra chain: safer, faster, better

Use the synthetic tool fuel, you can leave it in tank for longer storage time

I really appreciate the time you spent on demonstrating keeping your dielectric pole clean and stored safely. So, after seeing this more in-depth review, I have two new important points to add: First, all chainsaws will leak bar oil. If not now, it will eventually. That dielectric pole storage till you have is awesome, but for someone who thinks they can store the saw head with the pole, even bagged, I'd say, think again. Second, if I were using that saw in your place, I'd slip some 600V heat shrink over the aluminum section. It's not needed for direct protection of the operator, but it can still prevent sparks if say you contact two low voltage wires (which are certainly closer together than the length of that pole). For my own part (where I don't need dielectric tools), I LOVE my Stihl pole pruner, and this looks to be at least as nice. I wish I had that rear grip (and I'm thinking of making one now). My pole pruner has totally eliminated any need I might have for a regular chainsaw, and easily took apart a 16" thick cherry tree I once lost in a storm. Pole pruners are also much safer than chainsaws, since the blade isn't anywhere near you if it kicks back. Carrying an extra chain is a good idea, but so is having a file kit. If your truck has a vise, you can touch up the chain almost as fast as you can change it.

When you drain the gas, make sure you drain the float bowl of the carburetor too. There's usually a drain screw on the bottom right next to a drain hose, although that's speaking from experience with motorcycles and ATVs, not really chain saws. After that, pull the crank a few times, both with open and closed throttle, to suck the last few droplets out of the jets. In a pinch you can just dump the tank and then run it till it sputters out, but that's not perfect. Using a fuel stabilizer like Stabil helps too. I use Yamaha Fuel Med personally, but full disclosure, I worked at the dealership that sold it, good stuff tho. The reason you have to go through all this is that ever since they started putting ethanol is gasoline, they had to add a lot of emulsifiers to get the water-soluble alcohol and the oil-based petroleum to mix. If the liquid evaporates, these chemicals leave a nasty solid residue that can clog up the tiny jets in small engine carburetors. And since ethanol is highly volatile, it evaporates quickly at atmospheric pressure, even more quickly than the actual gasoline. Fuel injectors are pressurized, so they're not as badly affected. But carburetors are vented to the atmosphere, so they can "boil off" over time.

I mentioned this to the guy who came out and cleaned up around my service wires and he perked up when I mentioned it, he actually said he was stoked to hear about it. Looking at it closer I personally like the modularity to it as well as that rear grab bar jus to name a few of it's stand out features. Great review, nice detail. :)

Thanks for sharing with us bud. Hope all is well at the new house! Wonder when Milwaukee will be coming out with their M18 version? God bless you and your family bud. Take it easy.

I appreciate what you do for all the long nights and long days of hard work. Keep at it it. Stay safe out there.

Thanks for sharing buddy I live in Indiana USA and we’ve been having thunderstorms the past few weeks knocking out power the linemen have been really busy I seen one using a saw almost just like that lol take care buddy stay safe and god bless

I learn so much from your video's! Thanks, Larry Chicago,IL

Love the content man. Keep it up.

Actually want to get something like this.. Thank you!!!

We test the shafts for Husky and make the bags! Love seeing these out in the field

Nice piece of kit.

That's neat. Stay safe man. 👊 Wallingford Connecticut USA

Non-lineperson from AZ. Keep safe.

I run Vp fuels 50:1 premix and I have stored my saws for 6 months with no issues at all and the vp 50:1 premix last up to 2 years thanks to the stabilizers that keep the oil and gas from separating and the fuel is also ethanol free which is the best part as ethanol will break down the fuel lines in engines if it is used extensively

You said about not abooot. I'm sad now. Love your videos!

I am watching from , Eastern Passage , Nova Scotia

Neat tool, and great video explaining it. My only question is, why didn't someone develop something like this years ago? The need is fairly obvious, and the materials and construction don't seem that much more complicated than the many other hot-stick tools that have been around for a long time.

I am not kidding brother I will drive all the way to Canada

Great Videos brother.. from a Troubleman in Ohio!

👊👊 from NH! Stay safe my friend.

Bom trabalho amigo

Thanks for info. What do you use for PPE gloves and testing process? Familiar with them for Typical Elect Tech working on Panels. I had to attend various "Safety Sally" classes due to company going overboard. Most of these were folks like you, not EE's working as designers for Equipment builds. I do sand way back from Tech and keep my hand(s) in my back pockets. Finger pointing at live Sh!t drives me crazy. PPE for neck protections seems to be a weak spot, as memory goes. Worse event around me was ( wasn't there in person, btw ) but a pin hole leak in a water Line at 10KV DC, the tiny stream hit Tech and knocked him on his a$S . He was fine, but I kept an eye on those and made them replace even when not needed. I love High Pot testing. Great for testing ground systems as well. Grounds are so important yet neglected as trivial by too many. Sorry for long comment.

Hey mate, was wondering you would be able to make videos of you changing over a Strele light and wire insulators please

Aaron... not related to your video's main content..... but we need introducing to your dog :) ...

Aviation fuel is great for small equipment. Ethanol is poison for small engines, and they like the high octane with some lead. I haven't had to rebuild a carburetor since I switched.

Do you have line clearance tree trimmers? Where is your union on the position of doing line clearance tree trimming?

What province are you in? Heard you say east coast of Canada. Looks like Newfoundland scenery but I hear no accent lol. Nova Scotia?

Hey Aaron, I got a question about becoming a lineman. Do you work for your local supply authority? Or on a high voltage crew for an electrical company. I’m a 2nd year electrical apprentice in BC, and wanted to get into high voltage once I finish my apprenticeship. What would you recommend doing if you were in my position? Thanks Ps thanks for your content, keep up the great work :)

Sup dude

we are looking at these saws now and i see they have a battery version out now so how is the weight and balance.

Do you have part # for the extension?

Do you have any contact info for a husqvarna rep that could give me info on the mad saw. I’ve called multiple dealers and they are not answering my questions. Any thing helps thanks.

First!! What’s up brothaaaaa sent you some pics🤙

to the comment of having to empty the tank while in storage.. just run Tru-Fuel or any fuel that doesnt have Ethonol... i know several linemen and at times im called in to maintain there small engines they run tru-fuel and its usually just a basic checkup i have yet to have to open up the carbs its the ethonol that destroys the membrain and surfaces of the aluminum carbs.. if i can say only one thing just keep everything properly maintained the more you care for your tools the more your tools care for you and your not fighting them. as for storage they prefer the small containers as they sit easily in there trucks and they dont have to monkey with the mix's as its premix straight out of the can.. i have the upmost respect for linesmen as theres no way you would catch me in buckets or at the hights they do... as we sit in a home without power complaining they are out in the elements dealing with the wilderness of the wild or urban areas in the cold wet or freezing days restoring the services.

That Saw is mad very mad 😡😅

That thing is being pronounced „hus-kw-arna“ with a deep u (not a high one!), a qua pronounced as kw and an arna, probounced as ar-na…

👉Yes sir Aaron I'm dead serious👈 When you know you're getting around the right people there's nothing to worry about. And it would be an honor to be part of the blog🤜7029805925🤛

you pronounce it HUSKVARNA instead of Q you say K and no stopping or silensing letters
