100% agreed. It's not a shameless shill, it's a man having a blast and getting paid (at least that's how I figure it) so I'm all for it and I didn't know saws had gotten so technologically modern with auto tune capabilities and such. Fascinating stuff!
This is the kind of fully transparent ad I can get behind! The actual employees talking about the product, demonstrating their technique on video, going thru a range of products to showcase to the viewer what all is out there. I had a very disappointing tiny battery-powered chainsaw once, but these look properly beefy! Having been trained on gas ones and just terrified of spilling any gasoline on my clothes, I can tell you I am STOKED to one day buy a battery-powered one when I next need it. Hearing the loudness levels of both types in the same video really helps. An educational ad, a fun field trip for Adam - what's not to like! :)
At one point I wanted to think "Why am I just watching an advertisement?" But then I thought, wait, this is almost like an episode of This Old House where they showcase some new technology, and I watched that for my whole life with no complaint. I actually really enjoyed it!
Why are you terrified about spilling gas on you? I've logged many, MANY hours over the past 20+ years and spilling gas on me is probably # 188th on the list of items I'm most concerned about. If you've been trained on gas saws... was that something you had problems with or what?? Just curious...
@@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH Cuz I don't know how to deal with it. I know enough first aid to clean a wound, compress a bruise, triage whether or not something is deserving of a hospital visit instead of a field-dressing. I know how to clean the parts of the chainsaw when it's disassembled. I dunno how to clean up a gas spill. Especially on clothes? All the washing machines I've ever seen in my life all say 'don't put clothes with gasoline spills on them in here, risk of explosion' so like - what could I even do? Throw it away?? Buy a new one?? I hate spending money on new clothes, and I pride myself on the self-sufficiency of repairing things, so. That's like 80% of why. Can't clean up oil spills.
7:30 "Feeling awful about working at heights is good common sense." I have worked at heights for a good part of my outdoor career, and this is the truest statement I have ever heard.
We had a bucket truck at work for years. While I enjoyed working on it, I'm not cutout for it. It's not always the how high that got me, it's the wobbles. When the pole swings left and your bucket swings right, and oscillate at different rates, it really messes with my sense of motion and makes me nauseous.
The thing I didn't like about bucket trucks is if it did happen to tip or something there's a chance I might survive ..... once you get to a certain height where you know if you fall you won't have to worry about it anymore is relaxing @goosenotmaverick1156
@goosenotmaverick1156 the Jolt in a bucket is unnerving but predictable Now add in cracking and twisting but also the bending that you get in timber that you don't get from Steel ....
Yes, he's an old arborist - the best kind. To misquote a famous flying maxim - there are old arborists and bold arborists, but no old and bold arborists.
The opening photo/footage made me want to say, “ get the felling dogs/spikes up close to the log, Adam”. (at about 14 mins. in, your Husqvarna host Tobias did this.) It’s true that when limbing, sawyers will swat at branches mid-bar and even close to the tip. (not on the actual tip though.) This removes the element of the saw pulling itself forward and possibly putting you off balance. Some guys just brace their arms and torso against that movement, ‘cause they do expect it; but if you place the dogs at the log it helps let the weight of the saw make the cut without fatiguing your arms from resisting that pull of the bar. (not necessarily burying the prongs though, unless you need leverage). If you “get a lot of chainsaw time in your daily schedule” --you’ll appreciate this and stay steady on your feet and safer working on uneven terrain. When Dan was showing you battery saws, you were sawing mid-bar (and letting saw drop down a lot when cut ended) while Dan was keeping the motor close to the log on his end.
as an owner of a 440e, can confirm. Husqvarna is amazing. ProTip: spend the money on premix if you don’t use your two-cycle equipment frequently. the lack of ethanol and inclusion of stabilizers will not only treat your tools nicer, they will start on the first pull after months of storage and the carburetors do not gum up. if you have a lot of cutting to do, find a station that sells ethanol-free gas and use that for your premix.
This is a sharp departure from Adam's normal plugging of tools that he owns and loves, eg. the mini drill presses, and the like. It reeks of promotion. It reeks of promotion for the sake of channel support. Almost 30 minutes of it.
@@-danR You know everyone has to work for a living and earn their money, grow their channel, increase the value of their investments, right? This video clearly states it is a paid promotion, so why did you continue to watch if you have a pathological hate of commercial endeavours. What I witnessed was a man doing what he passionately loves and getting a bonus for doing it. Plus the chainsaw utilising community gets to see a review and preview of some most highly rated products in the industry. What's not to like?
I bet you could make it significantly smaller by splitting the battery off from the winch mechanism; maybe having a battery pack on your belt and a wire that you can plug in, or even a wire that comes up into a specialized glove with metal leads that directly power the winch.
I recently needed to do some quick weed-eating and thought about grabbing my gas trimmer, getting gas in it, all the priming, choking, pull start over and over, get it idling...... I ran up to the store and got a 40v battery powered trimmer. Now when I need to use it I just pick it up and squeeze the trigger. Electrics are replacing gas everywhere.
yeah those electric trimmers are LEGIT! my mom got an electric mower too and it's very nice as well! there's pros and cons to each but they're so miniscule it won't matter to most ppl
I like that he is expanding out to chainsaws, they are a misunderstood tool in a lot of ways. He should go take the chainsaw class at West Valley College if he wants to learn more. The whole time he was cutting, I kept yelling in my head for him to use the dogs rather than treating it like a handsaw
Same here! He was sawing as if using a handsaw, while Tobias & Dan were parking their saws close to the log and using the dogs. After years living in the Sierras, you’ll either get good at chainsaws or you’ll get tired, and eventually hurt. I don’t loan out my saws. One reason is it’s pretty hard to coach excited newbies gunning a saw as if they’re on a jet-ski.
Adams genuine enthusiasm really makes him an outstanding product demonstrator …Marketing Executives take notes, this was an effective presentation! Well Done!
Adam is one of my most cherished humans. His appreciation for the small things such as Husqvarna's team allowing him to use the scissor lift warms my heart.
Adam, I have learned so much from you. If only this fantastic learning was available in high school... Over the years, you have given me so much knowledge. I am forever grateful for you Mr Savage.
As someone who's already well invested in the Makita battery system, I'm entirely pleased with my Makita LXTx2 top handle saw. Its chain and bar and standard stuff that you can get any good hardware / OPE store. One thing's for sure, SHARPENING the chain is a skill to be mastered.
Heck yeah! I just added that saw to my own Makita collection! Perfect for those pesky widowmakers and monster hedges that get a drunk driver using them as a tunnel.
it always cracks me up seeing people use a back and forth sawing motion with a chain saw! classic. rotfl. adam looked right at home with that blower. happy as a little kid!
He was trying out different parts of the blade and also feeling for that sweet spot. Also the rocking technique is what some use for getting through a denser part of the trunk, say the heartwood or a resin rich knot.
Best video ive watched in a long time. One of my favorite people learning about one of my favorite tools. I hope to see more videos of Adam using chainsaws.
I am a longtime user of Husqvarna Chainsaws and power equipment now and I never got any negative experience with their stuff... got myself 6 tools from their lineup, one gas powered chainsaw and 5 battery powered ones... even older ones... (but some of them are actually commercial grade tools) and I love working with this stuff... can't wait to get a hands on on their newer cordless cutoff saws but I guess the next thing I might try out is the new professional battery powered chainsaw they sell here in Austria as well... luckily we got a dealership in town... might check when the next trial days are here thx for sharing your passion and fun with us Adam
Seeing 68% of Sweden is forest (13-16th most forested country in the world by percentage, depending on source and if territories are included), it's quite reasonable that a company that makes chainsaws and other arborist/forestry tools comes from there. ^^ To be fair, they started out making rifles in 1689 though, and they've made a bunch of stuff since besides chainsaws. :)
Bless you mate. The slowmo at the end capturing the pure joy in your face, that made my morning. I need more people like you in my life. Hell, the world does. Hugs to you and the team, and thanks for brightening up our day. With chainsaws!
So over covid we in SEQ got hit with the worst outages/storms in history so had thousands of trees down all over the roads- this was the best time of my life I learned all about chainsaws and got to use one DAILY FOR WEEKS, IT WAS SO COOL RAHH I LOVE CHAINSAWS OMG.Theres so much to learn about them, how they work, the differrent types, the oils, the strategies for tree lopping, the strategies for waste, SAFTEY OMG - it just has so many little places to go. I love this for you adam!
I love seeing Adam’s glee and pure joy handling these tools! I was wondering though (as someone who has been to Huskvarna and knows how it’s said in Swedish), why do Americans add an extra a-sound after the q?
Husqvarna is a swedish company that started in 1689. And they have been doing lots of stuff thru out the years such as hunting rifles (i own one, a Husqvarna 1900 from the 70s in .30-06 springfield) bicycles, motorcycels, sewing machines, house hold products etc. Great stuff.
Obviously Adam knows to be careful around machinery like this, but it's great to see his absolute joy when using them. He has not lost touch with his inner child! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Adam operating this winch remotely reminded me of this offshore drilling accident where the operator didn’t stop the winch and ended up pulling a guy through a hole much smaller than his body… I really hope that there is a safety mechanism to limit how much force this can pull.
There is only so much you can do to protect people from their own stupidity. Can you believe that there are even people that get killed crossing the road? I even heard a story about a man crashing his car into another car, and that didn't end well either; Totally unbelievable, I know!
I bought a battery operated chainsaw recently and it's a game changer working around our cottage. As long as I'm standing on the ground. The pros who do actual tree trimming are amazing. ❤
The apical bud is the type of bud located at the top (apex) of the plant, particularly at the very tip of the main stem. It represents the growth pinnacle of the plant. It determines the plant's growth habit and overall form.
That ascender is basically a battery powered capstan winch and it could have several uses on a sailboat, if it can deal with the wet and salty environment. Power winches for sailboats are stupid expensive, so any competition is welcome.
This was awesome to watch! It was great to see Adam having fun and geeking out about a new subject. Clearly a heavily sponsored video, but it was executed perfectly.
That look on Adam’s face when operating the backpack blower is priceless! That hoist is somewhat like the hoist Adam and Jamie created on Mythbusters. Sort of….
As a swede, I have to smile a little when Americans pronounce the word Husqvarna! 😁I guess the 'q' in the name is pronounced more like a 'k' in Swedish! I also live about 90 km from the original factory in Jönköping and my dad worked there in the mid 80s making sewing machines and other home appliances! 😛
The other part that really trips them up is the 'u', in English the sound is actually closer to 'oo', as in 'hoot'. Something like 'Hooskvarna' in English will be pretty close to the correct pronunciation.
My house came with a 15 year old Stihl, I ran it for 20 years on top. The spikes was nearly smoothed off (was cast and integrated with metal covers). Heating half of the house with wood. The bugger just wouldn't die or fade. Just like he said, choke on, pull pull until first sign of ignition, choke off, the next pull had the saw running. I was longing to go shopping for a Husqvarna! Still do.
Just sold off all my other chainsaws and went only Husqvarna, mainly because they sell parts online!!! I can look up a part online and have it sent to me, welcome to the future.
I'm curious about the customer service and repairs side of stuff. So if you need do repair anything equipment they have parts on sale at their website? I wonder they supply manuals and schematics too.
Crazy how many people are saying this exact comment, like a bunch of bot accounts or something. Switch it up a little bit so it's not as copied and paste and not so bot like just saying. I mean this could be a lagit comment but I've seen 4 other comments (3 of which were ladies in just undershirts clearly real chainsaw enthusiasts) saying they just sold off their chainsaws like it's that easy to sell used chainsaws, but to sell them to buy this just because you can order parts online. Super believable in a giant chainsaw add.
@@davidskala7652 Weird, I wonder if the bots are copying comments? I did make this comment right after the video was posted. Don’t see the comments now? Chainsaws are super easy to sell, like really easy. It’s a real comment, I have some stihl videos I’ve made and will have a husqvarna 445 video soon.
@@garageworker it's very possible they are just cut and pasting real peoples comments. it's just funny it was like 3 or 4 ladies, well just their lower back sides in their skimpiest chainsaw resistant underwear lol they clearly aren't using chainsaws often enough or to even own one lol It was just funny yours was the last one I had seen so I had to comment on it because it was all the same stuff but yours had an actual name and picture tied to your profile and seemed like someone knowledgeable about saws and mechanical things. I didn't mean any offense twords you at all just found it very odd because I don't understand what the bots get out of it know what I mean. But you're correct depending on where you live chainsaws can either sit on a shelf and be used once every few years or they are more essential and sell like hot cakes.
The most impressive thing about an arborist is that they know how trees will grow and respond! It is so humbling and impressive, yet probably 100% not known to most!
Yeah… I tried Husqvarna electric, chainsaw is great, but their batteries are complete garbage, and horribly expensive, I went through 3 batteries in 3 years, the gave up. After winter when not used, they where always dead, after first, I made sure I stored it at 80% charge, not to cold, and charged it up once during winter. Dead every spring.
First of all, I didn’t know anything about chainsaws, but I was curious about what Adam thought about it. I made the right choice to watch this video, even though it is sponsored. The moment Adam screamed “3-2-1,” it felt like the Mythbusters vibe all over again. I bet many of us have those memories forever in our heads once we hear that. When Tobias demonstrated how he works, his thoughts, and explained everything he is an expert in, it reminded me of the meaning of loving what you do. Regardless of whether it was faked or staged (because it’s a sponsored video), I believe it was a genuine reaction from Adam, as we’ve known him for so long. I love his excitement, fun, and spirit when he learns something, and the satisfaction he gets after trying to cut something. Keep in mind he is almost 60 years old and still has the enthusiasm for new things, which I want to learn and make my life motto as well. Although some choose to settle down, chill, and relax during retirement, I choose to be like Adam, keeping the momentum and excitement throughout life. As some of the comments here say, when Adam smiles, we see that he is still a kid at heart. Okay, back to the product, marketing, and presentation. I love that their own guys explain and show the products. This shows the brand’s confidence, and you can feel they have good talents. This reminds me that many companies only have a handful of people who really understand the products they sell. Some don’t even understand or, worse, misunderstand the products they are selling to customers. The incorporation of Adam during the product showcase makes the sponsored video become infotainment, educational, and informative. This stays away from the traditional hard sell marketing that most of us don’t really love. I hope more brands can switch to this approach for sponsored videos or even the normal commercials and ads that always bombard us on social media. Lastly, although I will probably never buy a chainsaw in my life (because of where I currently live), the existing battery-powered model will stay on my list if needed.
I was once a certified US Forest Service tree climber. It's the one job I hated, because I never overcame my fear of heights. Being 150 feet up in a Douglas fir in Oregon was something that always terrified me. The only fun part was rappelling down at the end of a climb.
You really see the maker in Adam coming out when cutting with the saws, trying to slice and finesse the cuts instead of being in the power position and letting the saw do the work.
Husqvarna said we're gonna have you wear and use ALL our gear lmao They're a legit company, and I trust Swedes to make good products, so I can't knock them too much, but man is this an ad for them lol
Well obviously, that's the whole reason videos like this get made. Advertising. The safety gear is probably a liability requirement. They're not going to suit him up in Stihl gear.
When I was a kiddo, in the small community of classmates I interacted with, Huskvarna was a bit of a meme. Not because it was bad or anything, rather the exact opposite. It was supposed to be of such outrageous high-quality that you could basically chainsaw a car in half with it. The math teacher's car for example. 😁 Happy to see none of what happened to Adam's favourite mechanical pencil occuring there!
