Ran off a remote unit

Great idea for working in spark free zones I suppose.. Just need a set of long hoses.

Or maybe under water? (Just guessing...)

 

[tree_beard]

heard about hydraulic chainsaws being used under water (deep water) possibly with diamond tipped chain to cut metal posts under an oil rig. might even have been a post on AS....

cant remember the specifics, just remember thinking 'cool-beans' (or similar).


think i might have also seen reference to hydraulic chainsaws used to remove ancient timbers from a sea-bed archaeological site..

Underwater..interesting hadn't thought of that.Better hope for no oil leaks tho.I was guessing maybe in a mine,no exhaust fumes.
