Well, fellers.. I finally dun it.. I bought me my first electric chainsaw.. Don't know if it runs.. All it got dis puney little cord, no place to put gas. Electric just so ya ain't gotta pull nutten, right? just kidding... This thing is HEAVY!! I think I'll call it a paperweight. View attachment 662946 View attachment 662947

Love the old electric saws. Most people pass them up, but I grab every one I can, especially the big 3 phase two man models. True monsters of the chainsaw world - nothing is heavier!

Was going to offer it to you, but I think shipping would kill that idea

You know anything about these GM Goodwrench wrenches I picked up today?

Or anyone else? I need a 11mm, 15mm and maybe a 18mm. Who sold these?

I think they were made by Stanley, licensed from GM for the name and sold at Wal-Mart long time ago. Don't see them anymore.

If got and old wrench set that came in a blue tool pouch with GM in white letters, cheap made set, look worst than a dollar store hammer.

So they are decent quality but not on par with snap on or proto?

Not really, good dys tools, won't used them to make a living with, if it breaks, you're out of a tool. I stop buying Snap-on and Matco a while back, prices started getting ridicules. I've been buying a few sockets from Home Depot and Lowes, have had good success with them. Lowes impact and air ratchets are good. Been running a 3/8 drive impact and air ratchet for 7 years every day in the shop without any problems.

Forgot to add, Craftsman wrenches are good also if it's still made in the USA.

Where are you located in Washington? I'll be over in early November to pick up a bunch of old two man saws for shipping back to Australia. Maybe we can catch up, or work something out.

Send me a pm and we can go from there.

Thanks!

It so close, I put the covers on to see what it is going to look like.
I still have to get that stupid Oiler hose on and maybe get a fuel line.
