    Thanks for explaining what this bar is actually for, but I still think it wouldn't do much.

    Stihl fs55rc

    I just went through this with a 56 with the same requirements. Dealer wouldn't sell me anything more than a "grass blade" as my cutter wasn't "rated" for anymore more. I acquired the tri-blade deal and it works fantastic. The concern supposedly comes from the lack of solid shaft in the cheaper...

    Looking for advise on the easiest method of getting low cars onto the hoist.

    Race Ramps would be my choice. They come in all shapes/sizes/lengths.

    105x20 7k or 10k enclosed trailer for moving and resale

    The only time I've experienced enough sway to bother me was when the trailer was empty. Oddly enough, both my trailers were purchased ~850 miles away and came home empty. I've always towed with 3/4 tons or a (now) 1 ton though!

    Quiet wall fan for my garage

    The basic 3spd Honeywell fans from Walmart work great and are dirt cheap. I use them in my race trailer and in my utility room to keep air moving.

    exhaust manifold studs stripped - best way to remove?

    I've done broken exhaust manifold stud extraction by mig welding nuts on to the leftovers with great success.

    Suggestions for Replacement Mesh WiFi Router System

    Another vote for Ubiquiti Unifi. Although the Eero system I installed for my in-laws has been working flawlessly.

    My Shop Internet Service Plan - Advise please

    You're on the right track. You could do CAT6 but should have lightning arrestors at each end. 3/4" conduit should be fine but the pre-terminated end would be the deciding factor.

    105x20 7k or 10k enclosed trailer for moving and resale

    24ft 10k IMHO. The larger you go after 28ft, the smaller your market.

    how many sharpenings can you get out of a chainsaw chain?

    I think next time I see a carbide chain in the saw shop, I'll grab one to try. I've been thinking of picking up another saw for bucking larger trees and just need an excuse anyways.... ;)

    how many sharpenings can you get out of a chainsaw chain?

    Since we're on the topic - what chains do you folks like using? I replaced one of my abused chains with a Husqvarna X cut (that was all the hardware store had) and was pretty impressed with how well it's held up since the change. It's only needed to be tightened once and I've put it through ~3...

    how many sharpenings can you get out of a chainsaw chain?

    I usually touch mine up when refuelling so that I can catch an issue before it becomes a bigger one. I have no experience with the electric sharpeners, but I have 3 saws and probably 15-20 chains. I don't cut wood for heat (yet) - just acreage management between 2 properties. My family benefits...
