Why I wear my chaps

[Patrick62]

I was de limbing a tree today, nipped the chaps. Annoying. This very rarely has happened, but okay.
Take the 261 apart, clear the fibers from the sprocket, etc. put it back together. and the next thing...
the chain is like really loose... moment.
further investigation revealed that the clip was gone, the washer was found, the bearing was ejected but found.
Fetched the spare clip, put it all back together and sharpened up, back in business.

You never know when it will happen, wear your chaps.

I always wear mine in the bush, but rarely while bucking up logs at home, mostly because they aggrevate me, a bit uncomfortable. I am going to try a pair of chainsaw pants and see if they are more comfortable.

It will really aggravate you when you cut your leg wide open!!! It will also be very uncomfortable nursing your leg back to health!!! Don't be a fool... use chaps as they're the right tool!!!

You convinced me, I put them on today.

I'm the only one wearing chaps on the job.
Yes hot at times but valuable protection.
