So my chain is about done, my dad told me I probably never should have cut anything with it because it's in bad shape. SO...He dropped this on my lap, rusted nuts, adjustments seized, not sure if the motor ran. A little penetrating oil, and a quick check on the truck, and pow, works. Man-O-man did they know how to make tools that last back in the day. Made even, equal, straight cuts on each tooth. AFTER sitting for decades! Good job Silmington Products Co Inc, formerly in Chiloquin!

Just wanted to share.

edit... patent applied for just a few weeks after i was born!
