New Ryobi hp brushless pruning saw 18v, very nice compact 6 inch chainsaw, tested on a pressure treated 2x4 against a Ryobi hp reciprocating saw, very impressed with the performance
1:05 " I took the guard off because I don't see any real point on having it on their." 1:28 "If you're cutting into something and you slip, your (supporting) hand is going to go right over the chain." Just taking a wild guess here, but that might explain the real point to having the guard there
Great video, Im thinking pf picking one up for myself. Even though theres no oiler, do you think youll have to add oil manually to help the bar and chain?
Thanks, yeah no oiler on this one but you can manually put it on the bar and chain just to keep it lubricated, it makes it easier for me to carry around without having to worry about the oil leaking out in my truck
Would you recommend using the chainsaw or the reciprocating saw for cutting wooden pallets? The description for these says "Oil-Free" design. Yet, most mentioned it does need oil. Why is that? Do you have to use specifically a Bar Oil, or can I use any oil like 3in1 oil? Are there any other types of maintenance required for this? thx
I’d say recip for pallets, you will either need a really good brand one, I have a Milwaukee or a corded one, because they use a lot of battery, the chainsaw also works but if you hit one nail or something the chain will get messed up, you could just pour oil on the bar and it will be good enough
If it was a gas powered chainsaw I’d be a little safer with it, & sometimes I have to make videos with the door open, usually I’m at work making these in front of a clients house and I don’t want it to look like a video production :)
Thank you no I haven’t, haven’t looked into one yet, I do want to try to find something to make the bar and chain bigger like I did with the Milwaukee, that way I can swap them out for different purposes, I did try with the Ryobi pole saw bar and chain and the links would skip so that wouldn’t work, im going to have to do some research on the bar and chain
Figured it would be a more accurate than cutting branches, pressure treated wood is most of the time the same strength, branches can be many different types of wood/ could be rotten ect
You can take the bottle of any bar and chain oil and pour it over the bar if your going to be cutting a lot of thick branches or you can apply drops if not using it long, every other one I’ve owned had a oiler so it’s weird to me how they expect the bar and chain to hold up but I’m really not sure
