I was lucky and Buckin ‘ gave me a axe like yours . I splits wood wonderful , when splitting the real tough ones l use a sledgehammer and a steel splitting wedge . And when that is to hard l resort to cutting them up with the powersaw . Keep on that woodpile, it may be another cold winter 👍🇨🇦

I ordered an 18" bar and chain combo when I bought my 660 kit. Just to test the quality and for a beater. I've been impressed with it, haven't used it a ton. It was on sale for something like $11.82. I didn't have much to lose. I put a 32" Tsumura light on my ms441. I love it. Stand up and buck!!!!!!!!!

Hi there tin Man I was sharing a story with bucking Billy Ray but I think it was some of his older videos so I don't know if he'll ever see it or not so not really having nothing to do with what you were talking about but I thought I'd share a story with you I'm from the US I grew up in Virginia when I was about 13 years old they put a lot of gas wells in down to a lot of trees my dad told me it would be a good idea by chainsaw get out cut far wood sell it in the winter time lots of people were putting in Buck stoves I would do a lot of work on chainsaws at the time I really shocked me at all the people that had bought cells and could not sharpen them I had people from two counties away bringing songs to me just to sharpen them to make a long story short by the saw homelite XL 12 when I was 13 years old I cut firewood and cut firewood and I put it back for a 13-year-old I had probably about 5 or 6 chords and I'd tell my Dad it was hot weather I'm not going to cut no more nobody's going to buy this stuff he would tell me son just keep cutting when it snows you'll sell it so I go out and cut more I cut more sure enough for snow came one week I was out of firewood I sold every stick I had but the main thing about the story I want to tell you that XL 12 I bought when I was 13 I put one pull rope in it one spark plug numerous bars and chains I'm 59 years old and three pulls and that's all start and run today this is good as it did when I was 13 years old great video keep up the good work

a good splitting axe is faster than a woodsplitter, if you have straight grained wood…at least for 20 minutes…if I have a truckload of knotty stuff, its wood splitter time. for a few wheelbarrows, I just use an ax. green birch I split when its -25 or colder, it just pops apart with astounding ease. cheers, sir!🇨🇦

I bought my G660 3 years ago, I got the Holzforma bar. I soon learned that the bar is ONE drive link shorter than the OEM so when I bought a 3 pack of chains form Bailey's there wasn't enough travel in the tensioner to get an OEM chain tight enough.

Thanks for this review! I'm thinking about picking up one of their 18" bars for one of my smaller saws. I pillaged the bar from that saw for an 036 that I picked up and run more often. Totally agree on the ax. Profile is everything. Having said that, after 30+ years of splitting everything by hand (mostly hickory), my should forced me into a hydraulic splitter. I miss the exercise, but not the shoulder pains.

Yeah, I knew the double bit wasn't going to be the main character in a wood splitting video! LOL If you check .75 to 1.5" back from the edge that wood splitting axe is 2 or 2.5 times as thick as the Truetemper. When I worked on a survey crew we had a splitting axe and it was garbage for cutting down trees. I used a file and learned to drawfile. I took the hump out of the splitting axe over 2-3 months and it was a decent felling axe after that. I picked up a 3.5# Craftsman double bit a few months back at the flea market for $10. Just needs the head tightened up and it will be fine.
