Poll: How many of you use hardcases for your chainsaws?

[Lightning Performance]

How about a soft case or a bag? I'd be much more inclined to use a soft case, as it'll squish and take up less space.

The mess dripping from one was enough to keep me from trying those. Get yourself a vinyl lined one to capture all the weeping goodness.

I've used a Rubbermaid tote bin lid as a drip tray before, in the back of the car or back seat of the truck.

I put my saws in Rubbermaid Action Packers. Along with the saw, the A.P. units can also hold accessories, oil, tools, PPE, etc. Nice.

No hard cases. Not that I wouldn't use 'em, just never bought one yet.

I just bought one that is 60 years old and can fit 2 saws later I will take a photo but it is big as in this video above

15" saws come in, you will find it in the Roki-Dbgm network. It's cool because it has a Mdf board inside

 

[MacAttack]

Always take them in hard cases, you can find good cases being thrown out often, I've never had to buy one.
My saws are all old and made of magnesium, they deserve better than being trashed around in a chipper truck storage box.

Wondering how many of you utilize hardcases on a regular basis for storing and transporting your chainsaw?

Hard case for the MS441 scabbards for the MS271 and the 201tc

If someone came by I would make them a good deal on a pile of hard cases

Selling them? Could probably move them quickly on CL.

I remember looking, several years back, and being surprised at how few I saw at garage sales, etc., when many of the Poulan, etc., came with them. I would see saws, but not cases.

A lot of those cases were pretty flimsy. Latches broke easy and the hinges would pop apart. I'm not surprised that people didn't keep them.

 

[OM617YOTA]

Back in my wee sprog days, I bought a couple garage sale Poulans with hard cases. I always threw the cases away, and eventually the saws too. The cases took up extra space, and I didn't see the need to put a chainsaw in a case. Never even thought about selling the cases, maybe I should have.

I grab cases ANY time I see one. A few years ago a Sears was closing and liquidating everything, they had a brand new saw case with a bottle of oil and a scrench for like $6, I grabbed that case so fast.... It was from a display model.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

The only thing I use hard cases for is to store small parts in. I have one for Homelite, one for McCulloch, etc. For some brands I still use cardboard boxes however..

 

[hkstwn7]

The hard cases are nice for storage, even for short term as I have had mud wasps fill up small spaces on my saws in the summer. Amazing how fast they work!

 

[Kel71]

I really like the Husqvarna soft case

 

[lohan808]

I use bar scabbards. Never seen a need for the hard cases. Most I have seen have bees cheaply made, flimsy, chinesium junk. I have a 6x6 in the truck bed for parking scabbards and exposed blades. Keeps them from sliding around and doing the bumper car smash ups in sharp turns.

Well I could take a picture then you will have seen them. How many you want?

If I spend any more money on saw parts right now my wife will throw me out of the house, haha.
