    If it gets up there high enough, I’m selling all mine. Thank God theres a group of people in this country who think it’s the only way to keep your azz clean. They’re gonna make a lot of smart people rich!:rofl: :lol: Sorry to say this buZZsaw BRAD , but you may regret that soft tissue injury. Might have made you millions!

    Gonna be a good few years for oversees companies to pillage the consumer here in the USA. Especially Chinese companies!

    I had a soft tissue chainsaw encounter today. Found out my gloves weren't Kevlar, and neither was my finger... 10716.jpeg
    Warning...a bit graphic... 10714.jpeg
    Took out a little chunk. Washed, cleaned, antibiotic and a big band-ade.
    Pretty sore tonight.
    Bad operator error. Got my attention.

    YIKES! Hard to like that but i did for the fact that its a great reminder of what we do is dangerous. Couldve been a lot worse my friend. Glad it was a "minor" injury.

    Yes, sir, could have been much worse. It still has the safety chain on it and I hadn't sharpened it. Got a nice saw kerf in my finger.
    After I cleaned it again last might, changed bandage
