I do in fact own one Jawhorse & I wouldn't be without it. Especially considering since I don't have a traditional bench vise in my tool Shed. If you don't have a bench vise I highly recommend a Jaw horse. I've even considered adding a second Jaw Horse.

Any one own/use these? Are they solid and useful or more gimmicky? Im not concerned with price as I know they are expensive. (Plus got some PayPal $ so it won't really come out of my normal funds). Don't mind paying if it's a solidly built product that performs.

starting to migrate some tools over to the XGT line, combo kit GT400M1D1 with circ saw, hammer drill, impact driver, light. Added bare tools - inflator, mid torque 1/2" impact wrench, & splurged on the 8.5" slider miter. Next on the list is the track saw. Hope they come out with a 40V...

I've got the Stanley Powerlock (33-312) 12 ft. x 3/4" wide blade with the metal case and its awesome. Also own the 16 foot power lock with 3/4" blade and its nice but it doesn't have the same feel in hand as the Metal Case. I wish Stanley would offer more in the Metal Case, my...

Just purchased a new Makita 8.5" Sliding Compound 40v max cordless saw. The saw has a small footprint, & Ive currently got it sitting on a WORX Pegasus project work table. I will be just using for Homeowner use, projects around the house, woodworking, With a saw this size, is it worth...

Jackson, & I much prefer the regular air inflated tire vs the non air inflated solid rubber tire.

Im pretty sure the Husqvarna 562XP with 20" bar will be my next chainsaw purchase. If I were to ever need a larger saw than this I would get the Stihl 500i.

If I were to go buy a saw larger than the MS 362CM I would probably go for the 500i with 25" bar. I doubt I'll ever buy a saw that size though. However I might take a hard look at the Husqvarna 562XP with 20" bar soon.

One thing I do for my Chainsaws is to only Run Canned fuel. Either the Husqvarna XP premix, Stihl Motomix, Or I will buy a Gallon of VP Racing 4 cycle fuel and mix in a bottle of Amsoil Saber at 50.1. I do this on all my Saws, Leaf Blowers, and string trimmers. Maybe a little overkill...

The MS 250 cut great when it was running. It was super tough to get started, very easy to flood, would pull well over 100 times to get it to hit. Even after running, sit down take a break, again tough to get started. I finally just gave up, sold it, finally spent the money on a pro grade MS261.

I’m using the Husqvarna X-Cut chain, seems to cut every bit as good as the Stihl chains. I’ve never used an Oregon chain though.

SK stopped making the ratcheting wrenches? The X Frames?

Have always owned Stihl saws. MS180 (My 1st chainsaw, always worked good, no complaints, sold to my brother) MS250 (Piece of junk, sold to neighbor, told him upfront the issues, he wanted it bad, couldn't fix it so he ended up selling it also). MS181 (Sweet little saw- sort of wish I'd kept)...

First time using the yellow label chain, could really tell a big difference. My saw (MS261) felt like it had another gear in it. Was cutting some fallen poplar, cedar and oak. This chain is the real deal.

Got my 3/8 set 7-24 mm. In yesterday, it was well worth the wait and the $.
