Used in forestry mainly the tongs and hooks. Hook is used to roll logs over. I use tongs sometimes on arb jobs when I’m working on the ground they do make life easier.
Hi James, I think the hook is just to make it easier in moving logs about, i have one of them sharpeners and i find it spot on to use and makes a good job, been a really good video and a nice giveaway 💪👍
Great video I recommend Hexa chain for anyone new to filing chain its pretty hard to go wrong. I use it when in the woods so easy to touch up. I wish they also made it .325. Pfred also makes the same three in the filling guide again great for the novice.
Love the videos James, and those sunglasses. The drag hook is mainly for dragging logs around and can be used to lift medium length logs with a 2nd or the tongs.
Nice bit of fun with the chainsaw 👍. I'm not a fan of those 2in1 chain sharpeners but have been looking at 1 for the ¼ pitch chain stuff, just wish they were cheaper 😲
Them sunglasses actually suited you . Brilliant video again . I only ever used the chain sharpener once however I could not use it correctly so pay some one to do it
I’m so new to this industry but I’m fully hooked into this now and way! I’m watching every video that comes out and seeing tools I’ve never seen or heard of and it’s incredible! Why haven’t I seen anyone with the log grabber?????? It’s awesome
@@MachineryNation The Hexa chain needs a special file to sharpen it. Only thing that the new Hexa is easier to charpen but too expensive for a lot of usage.
I need to sharpen my saws. I'd be interested in the vid you said comparing that type of sharpener before I get one. I feel they would save a lot of time like you said. Thanks in advance.
I almost bought some Stihl glasses like that to go with my Stihl baseball cap, imagine the number of fanboy comments that would draw. Handy little tool that sharpener, do they do anything like it for reciprocating hedge-cutters?
Cramer have a 3.4kw 82v max 72v nominal battery saw that runs an 18 or 20" .325" 0.50" Oregon bar and chain. It's roughly as powerful as a 560xp ms362 or ps6100 / ea6100 ! Really Interesting peice of kit ! I'll also add @ 3.4kw it's .4kw more power than the msa300. I will say keep your eye on Cramer if you want to see bigger battery saws 😜🤫
@@theautisticarborist6846 I'm sure they have, but id still rather the noise alone of a petrol saw. Don't get me wrong, battery are the future and engines are going away whether we like it or not, unfortunately
@@PatHiggins-Mayo aye they have there place the battery saws, domestic arb work with a place to charge or an inverter in the truck, they are ideal, less noise, no fuel / exhaust emissions and easier to communicate + the instant start for top handles, especially when doing reductions and tip work. Though for all out grunt and power to weight ratio petrol wins everytime 💪💪
@@theautisticarborist6846 yup, exactly right. I only use a saw for my own domestic work so i presume my next one will be electric. Ill hang on to my Stihl ms171 as long as i can 😊😊
Hi Team , greetings from Australia, love your work, always entertaining & I might even learn something. I think the hook is to carry a six pack of beer in one hand while you carry your chainsaw in the other. Cheers Kev. 🍻
I onestly can't wait until i'm older and then I can get all my tree surgery qualifacations and use these amazing toys on real jobs. Awesome vid again🎉🎉
I have used the hook and tongs on longer lengths of wood IE stakes and bars hook in one end and tongs so far up for lifting can carrying them into place
Completely unrelated but if you happen to remember what type of paint you used on the bolens husky video from 2 years ago I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to use that yellow goldish paint as well but can’t find the original code or colour
I can’t remember what the RAL code was. I’ve still got some left in my paint cupboard. If you email me contact@machinery-nation.com I will remember to look for you. Also I’m selling the Bolens if you are interested.
@@MachineryNation The oil pump is designed to pump oil with chain going forwards.And the pump is plastic and easily breaks like that. Was taught that at college 20+ years ago and always stood by that
