So do you remember back last summer when i first looked at the Hawksmore chainsaw? well its had a good few tanks of petrol through it so i thought it was a good time to give you all an update.
You want to watch that tingly feeling in your fingers George, in my past jobs I have been sent for a HAVS tests ( hand arm vibration syndrome ) apparently you shouldn’t use vibrating tools for long periods of time is what I was told. I was a bit stressed with the slack in that chain, you were spot on though 👍
Great video. That little hole at the sprocket end is for grease you'll need a little special grease gun a couple of pumps each side every other fill up give it a pump think you'll find it won't jam up as much. Looks a neat little saw. Regards to the family
There are those times when you have to do jobs where tools can go walking off. You are going to feel the hit a lot less if your little green saw goes missing than the Stihl. I've got a little green saw (another brand) that gets lent out to people that know I keep good tools handy. Works fine and if I don't see it for a couple months, fine. 👍
Great to see the video & you are still happy with the Hawksmore. For a small holder or some one who has a little bit of land using it occasionally I think it is a cracker of a tool.
Nice one George , That saw looks the exact same as my parkside one from lidl just with different stickers and different shade of green . Think it cost 100 quid with 3 year warranty. Starts first pull every time even quicker than my stihl does . Cant complain for the money 😁
Even though it was about an underdog it was stihl a good vid 😉🤣. I used a electric plug in bosch chain saw for the last 15 years and its great. Stay safe 🏴
Chains looser than Katie price 🤣🤪. Be interesting to see how long it lasts 🤔 I’m generally not that bothered on other people’s H&S but I’ve seen what saws do to bodies and believe me they don’t cut, they tear skin 😬
I brought a timberpro 62cc with a 2ft bar for £110 delivered, cracking saw gets use very often in the winter, before that one I had a timberpro 58cc lasted 10 years 👍👍
I think you'll be amazed at the parts availability on the Chinese chainsaw. I bought one with the Bilt Hard name (they can be somewhat strange--I also have a V-Modest top-handle). I dropped a large round on it and smashed the clutch housing. I bought a new one from Amazon for $12, and it worked fine (though the saw is now black, blue, and orange--a bit gaudy, really). Looks like you have the 53cc model, which means the engine is bigger than the MS-251 (at 45.6cc). Nice video!
Great video- thanks. Any chance of a chainsaw sharpening video. There are several tools on the market now just wandered if you had a preferred method/tool??
Dude going on the look of your saw dust need to sharpen your chain..... the reason why it works better slightly loose low kickback chain. Run a flat file on the depth gauge.... I would pull the air filter and clean the fine dust it will block up your carb filter.... worth whereing chainsaw trousers 👖 helmet and gloves. What pitch is the chain is it similar to stil or husqvarna? Look at full house or skip chain rather than safety oragon do a auto sharpen chain and bar which is amazing no more filling I put one on a 135 husqvarna.....it's worth looking into dude saves untold time especially if you are likely to find wire nails in the timber
George jamming on the nose is likely due to lack of lube, those bars need greasing through the pin hole on either side of the bar, i have the proper grease gun but im sorry i dont know what its called...I have a very similar saw from LIdl £79 had it yrs, run 100 to 1 stiyl synthetic oil mix, it has cut an awful lot of big fire wood...Not a saw for the untrained...
On new Husqvarna chainsaws they recommend you turn up the rpm (via the carb) after bedding a new saw in. They're like slightly limited from factory until you've gone through a few tanks.Iis there something similar on these?
Harking back to your previous video about sustainable plastics, and with a nod to Mukka’s recent Kubota vs cheap Chinese digger video, is it right to buy a cheap tool that will go in the bin for want of spare parts, against a longer lasting Stiyl product that you can keep running for years due to the availability of spare parts? We all need to challenge ourselves when it comes to cheap & disposable vs more costly longevity. Not easy as we have had 30-40 years of increasing reliance on “cheap junk”.
E5 for all small equipment for me, as a proffessional gardener, 100 to 1 stihl synthetic oil across all machines, also in 4 stroke mowers some of the time, 20yr old Briggs on a hayter still going strong...
