In my area Snap On is king, but being very rural you have to find out when he is scheduled to be at a shop near by. All other brands are non existent. There is a Cornwell driver who is an ***,been thrown out of several shops after accusing techs of not paying for tools and then having techs...

I buy Members Mark jeans from Sams Club. 12 oz denim heavy as Carhartt only 12.99 a pair. Use them on the farm and in the saw shop, they wear like iron and are comfortable. They are the best 12.99 you'll spend.

Recommending a 7901 or 660 for 40 acres is ludicrous. Someone must be on aboristsite too much. I used to be a top 20 participant over there for over 5 years under another name It's nothing but a enthusiast saw porting site, far from reality and the common users needs. I have a race ported MS 460...
