The DU Lounge

So, I have Craftsman for drills and the little skilsaw. (oh, those sales I couldn't pass up)
Ryobi for stuff I expect to break and replace (pole saw, small inverter, weed-whacker (1)
DeWalt when it matters. My "go to" 12 inch chain saw. (2)

(1) I wanted a pivotrim head because bump heads are trash in my book. So, the Ryobi bolt is some insane metric left-thread odd bolt head ... Long story short, I built out the bolt head with epoxy so the pivotrim fits (holding up still) and I use the three blade attachment where there are no rocks to kick (which is rare on my property, but does exist)

(2). I got a leaf blower for the cost of the 40 volt battery, so there.

P.S. The DeWalt chain saw has two big knobs to do what others do with two Allen wrenches, 1/32" different from each other and a giant pain in the ass to use (especially the chain tension). The first big knob removes or locks down the cover, and the second adjusts the chain tension. I can reseat a jumped chain or even replace one on the spot. The cover even has a ratchet to limit the locking force (like your gas cap!) And the chain doesn't jump that I recall. Maybe once. Oregon chain and guide.

It's so insanely easy to use. Highly recommended.
