Cold day,
When u wake up at 5 or 6 and get to work, then u get to the job and its cold, what is your favorite type/model of chainsaw do u like to run that will make u feal warmer. Because just last saturday I was working for a small tree company and my hands ere like frozen even tho i had gloves on. So do u have any suggestions.

try one with heated handles?

Admittedly it does not get all that cold in Southern California, but the heated handles are the ticket if you are looking for warmer hands - They are a bit higher priced, but if you work in a climate where you will gain the added comfort of having them, it is probably worth it...

If it takes upwards of a couple-hundred watts to produce the heat, you'll need to deduct that right off the top of however many kilowatts your engine is producing.  This stuff ain't entirely free.

Does huskey make a saw with heated handles?

yep

yeh they do it they are great....its getting cold here as well.....i find that they get too warm sometimes.

a local rep asked us what cold make stiihl saws better (he was off to a trade thingy, and was going to meet sthil reps) the gaffa said heated handles on a top handled saw.....so that at least in teh cold and the rain and the wind and the sleet you could have warm hands if nothing else and i have to agree with him.

I would have to agree that a heated handle would be nice in top handle saw. Even if one came out this year I wouldn't be seeing one for about 6 years or so until my new 0200 died. I been doing it for 13 years now and I guess I will just keep on keeping on. I hope to one day not have to do it. It would be nice to take it easy in the winter. I know I could easily not go to work and just do my thing and get by. I don't think the company I work for would like me not there.

John, John, John, what do you want? It is about your choice. You seem to be afraid of this one. Do I have to suggest you buy ENSURE?

treat yourself to a nice pair of neoprene gloves

I bought two pair of those neopreen gloves last year and tore them up real fast. Now I get the gray palmed winter wonder gloves. I get them xlarge and I wear a thin brown hunting liner in them, when it is cold in the morning, but by noon on a sunny winter day the liners come out. I've never used the heated handles. That seems a bit excessive for my area. Now up north or across the pond in the north that seems more logical. I have bad pains in my fingers at first in the cold. From when i got mild frost bite. It is almost unbearable the first ten to twenty minutes out there. I just keep moving and eventually it passes.
