Echo Lover...I am gonna buy me a cs 400
I have limited experience with any thing other than Stihl 044 but that little Echo is easy to star LIGHT WEIGHT and even I can run it most of the day, and thats sayin a lot when your cutting Mesquite, which is more of a bush than a tree in AZ, anyway!
 
Governor delete. Love that one.

Those are "Vice Grip" brand made by Irwin......they're pretty good and hold up well. Those get legs pretty often if you're not watching......bought a half dozen Home Depot "Husky" brand clones a couple jobs ago.....they don't get legs...they suck...the points almost bypass each other....Junk....

This I know, my stock of Petersons are getting low, many sets have walked away on the many different jobsites I work on these days. It has got to the point I won`t take my remaining 6 -7 pairs to work at all so would like to find usable replacements that will likely walk off on their own. Will look for Irwin, have seen that brand around here before but not used them yet.
 
William S. Peterson invented the "Vice Grip" brand locking pliers in 1924......so they are the same as the Irwin brand......I mean as much as anything is the same as it was even 20 yrs ago. But "Vice Grip" brand is stihl the best locking pliers I've ever owned. Everything else is just junk....

My dad had an original set from 1930, he passed them on to me, I keep them close, they never leave home. I had more than 17 sets at one time, all the derivatives of curved, straight and needle nose jaws, even the big loop sets for welding. The numbers have dropped some, to around 6-7 pairs I can put my hands on easily. I will try out a few sets of Irwin. Can get them in Burnside from our industrial supplier.
 
Hey Bobby nice to see ya!! How’s things?
Trying to stay outta trouble and away from the city pukes. Found a few isolated ponds no humans have been to in 40 years since the 70s.
