I’ve been eyeing that pole saw. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

I’ve been eyeing that pole saw. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

It's powerful for it's size. I cut through stuff I probably shouldn't. These weren't just limbs, these were the size of a small tree themselves. Everything you see in the photos was cut off a very large maple tree.


The head clogs up and you have to tap it to get the saw dust out. It eats bar oil quick, but I was taxing it hard.

The trigger snapped off. I still have enough to work it, but a bummer. It is just plastic and it was cold. I think I hit it again some smaller limbs when I was tapping the sawdust out. Id say it's 50/50 user error and poor design. I'm going to see if Ryobi will send me a new trigger. I'm happy with it otherwise. It still works, but it's harder to pull the trigger





Comes with a great sling. It could probably double as a single point for you ar.


Overall I would give it 9/10 if the trigger didn't break. Id still give it a 6/10 with that.


The 14" chainsaw I've had for a few years now. Punches above it's weight. That's a 9/10. I take one point off because it leaks bar oil.


I also have a Ryobi leaf blower and lawn mower that run in the 40v system. I like them all.

I have the Dewalt one and it’s great. Very light and great extension. It’s so light in fact I have no qualms about using it on a ladder.

My Sig “P2511” project is moving along. The M1811 grip module came in today so I transferred the P250 FCU over to it. Installed the full size slide I had sourced with a Faxon PVD barrel. The M1811 grip is very nice in the hand however I feel the texture of the grip isn’t enough. Next will either be some grip tape or stippling. Then possibly some cerakoting.

Looks nice. I can see why you feel the grip isn’t enough. I like the grip angle though.

Need to have a trademark that identifies you underwater, lest students or buddies follow the wrong diver. Reasonable people do this with distinctive fin colors or cylinder marks.

As I identify as Bunny-self...



They're neoprene and waterproof and everything.

Very nice. My gf's daughter just bought one of those, really nice and has some cool options she can access right on her phone.
Been sunny and about 50 here also. Changed the rear tire on my Harley today, now I'm out of commission for a few days.

Out of commission due to changing a tire?

Yeah, didn't use a tire machine, just bars and setting on 2x4s on the ground. My back is fucked.

I started working on replacing the tires on the brush hog couple days ago, 45 minutes in.... I took them to the Coop and had them install. What a pain in the ass!

Ag tires are a bitch. Especially tractor tires. I have a rim going bad on my Ford 860, already has new tires. Will need an ag shop come to me to swap the rim out. Tires are loaded. Too dangerous for me to mess with.

Overall we’ve been happy with ours. I like the extra clearance and the hatch back. It gets good gas mileage and we use it for short trips and daily errands.

Thanks for the sun brother. Been plenty warm where I'm at.....

 

[Saltwater60]

Yes I learned many lesbian like them after we bought it as well. Tis life and it’s just a functional vehicle.

Had ammo shipped to my house for the first time in over a decade.

Sorry, it did not.

1×6×8 and 1×8×8 rough cut maple. I previously had picked up another 15 boards. Under $300 for all of it. Approximately 500 bd ft total.

Normal retail for maple here is ~$5.30/ft. I don't think I did too bad

Beretta A300, like new with box and accessories.

That's a helluva deal.

Off Topic;... Few years ago I bought about 450 BF of rough cut ash for $1.25 PF, kiln dried. Real pretty wood, nice grain patterns. Used it for door & window casings and also made a couple of small tables from the left overs. Found some nice book matching planks in the pile and saved them for future projects. Made for some cool table top glue ups.

I bought a OTF for my son as well. My wife made friends with the woman up the street, she has a 12 year old son that has never been to a gun show so we brought him along. Good kid, I asked ahead of time if he could have a knife, mom said yes. I bought him his first Auto knife. Not an OTF, regular auto flip. He was beyond excited, mom?? She was barely okay with it....
