I don't think it's said enough that PPE is your last line of defense.

[@TheOriginalFreak]

Agreed. Common sense and patience have saved more limbs and lives than all the bubble wrap lifestyle products in the world.

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Preach! Some people just don’t have that sense of self preservation. Well that and I’m sure a good portion of people who use tools or equipment have no idea the horrendous injury’s that it can inflict upon you if used improperly. Ive seen hydraulic injections, amputations and large scale 3rd degree burns. Not pretty, it makes you think thrice from then on about all dangerous operations.

[@bensmith1689]

Exactly. I use a petrol chainsaw regularly and I am always wary of it and treat it accordingly. When I got my first bad kickback I was real glad I was properly positioned and stable footed. My Helmet and visor didn't need to protect me because I had done that with common sense, but had I slipped at that moment, they would have saved me.

[@omarrodriguez5215]

Colton Blumhagen can you tell me how you got a picture in your name

[@YR7A]

that's true, but sometimes PPE is just the difference between open and closed casket.

[@franksmith5603]

It’s the same dang argument that people make about steel toe boots, “What if something drops on your foot that crushes the steel cap, and crushes your foot” , well if it’s strong enough to crush the cap it’s gonna destroy your foot without the steel cap, but there’s a wide range of things that would crush your unprotected foot but not the steel cap, so that is where the steel toe is beneficial. Same here, there’s a chance in the worst case scenario that you’ll fall on the saw holding the trigger down and it’ll eat through the Chaps. But without the the chaps you screwed either way, at least with the chaps you’re not screwed at the slightest incident. So for intensity scale you might say that without protection you could survive “0-10” with protection you could survive “0-10 and 10-70” and if the intensity of the accident is “70-100” even PPE won’t help Then people say “well if the ppe wont protect everything I’ll use that as an excuse not to use it at all.”

[@BoozySZN]

I have known a story of a dude who had this foot chop in half due to the steel cap. at the end of the day, it's like a seat belt argument as well (it wont happen to me or if wont do much damage. I would rather have PPE, than not have it to be honest.

[@fishhunt9874]

When you actually wear chaps the chaps have a lot more “give” than you allowed when you strapped them firmly to that log. The give allows for more of the chain stopping threads/material to get caught up to stop the saw. During the stoppage the chaps are pulled away from your leg. I have witnessed accidental gas chain saw stoppages 4 times in the same day during a wild land firefighting training class. Every time the gas saw stopped with no injury to the user and a with lot more material caught up during the stoppages than what you allowed by strapping them to the log.

[@chriss1227]

Lol.. "what's this thing do?"

[@BlueCollarBachelor]

They kinda say on the package that chaps are not for electric chainsaws...

[@wdbrnr63]

Electric motors make more torque the closer they get to stalling, where a gas motor loses power at lower RPMs.

[@blahfasel2000]

Just to clarify, actually not all electric motors have this characteristic, but the brushless DC ones in those cordless tools do. Single phase induction motors (which are used in many household appliances) for example have zero torque at zero speed, which is why they need special provisions to get started in the first place.

[@mikeymartin4751]

@@blahfasel2000 Actually I think they do. Where its true an AC single phase has zero TQ at Zero rpm it has more TQ at 50 rpm than it does at 1000. Any electric motor torque calculator can demonstrate this.

Great video. Demos are great to give you an idea of the power of these things, and the effects they have. My first chainsaw arrived in the mail today, an electric one. Usually when a new power tool arrives I'm lucky if I even look at the manual, but I've got a very healthy fear and respect for chainsaws, and I'm going to read that mofo from cover to cover and watch craploads of videos until I'm absolutely sure of everything. Then probably do some more. And then I'm going to wrap myself in safety gear before I even switch it on. With most tools if you screw up you'll only cut yourself, albeit it could be a pretty bad gash, but with chainsaws if you screw up it can be life changing, or ending. I don't mind acting like a scared little girl for a while, until I get used to it.

You are correct to a point. Most battery/ corded chainsaws have too much torque for the chaps to stop them. I believe most good chaps and even some of the saws have warnings about it. It's not a flaw of the chaps, its the way the saws work.

With chaps, only the worse of the worse will get to you without ppe even the slightest cut could end your life. Even still, i'd buy the more quality chaps. These are brand new, but how will they fare to sun, scratches, water and just day to day beating? Maybe they protect you fine today out of the box, but after a week of hard use they drop their protection! Sure, if you need to take care of one or 2 trees in your house, or to cut some big log for firewood and you need to do that friday and today's tuesday and only got 50 bucks to spare..... sure, go ahead, get 2 day shipping on that bad boy and take care of business, but i dont think i'd trust 40 bucks with my life if i consistently used chainsaws like Cody and his family do, i'd much rather put off cutting a log for another month, or cut it with an axe and next month i'll have enough to buy a 100usd pair of chaps. If you are really straped for cash but you'll use the hell outnof chaps, then you can skim some money off of your day to day food for a month. Ok, we'll eat a little bit more rice this month and less pizza. We'll eat more spaghetti and less hamburgers. I'll buy but a bit less cereals, or buy the cheaper brand just one time. Instead of dropping 30bucks for saturday's bbq meat, i'll propose instead to have puzza night for 20bucks one time. I'll walk more, i'll maybe use my car justnto get to town but then leave it parked and walk those 8 blocks to the other store i need. And in a month, you can probably save up some extra 50 bucks.

I was working for the park at the time. He hit an old nail in a tree and the chain saw kicked back. He was wearing chaps and it saved his life: the saw kicked back into the inside thigh region and shredded the chaps. He walked out with only a minor scrape: we called it day after that.... Because of that I've learned that I'd rather sweat.

The chaps may have saved your coworkers life. There is also the possibility that by wearing them he allowed himself to become more careless due to an increased sense of security.

The manufactures of the electric saws need to add an accelerometer to the saw and a little bit of code to be able to sense this kind of event. When the computer in the saw sees a high current high acceleration event the motor immediately stops and the saw then needs to manually be reset. This isn't a hard problem to solve, and manufactures could easily do it without adding much cost.

Or chaps that shut the saw off on touching them it could probably even be NFC

Yeah. Dont rip off others videos talkin about how you couldnt find anything about it. When the morgans just did the same exact video. You gonna go on the morgans comment thats on this video that was made and whine at him too?

The only reason i said anything is the fact cody says he couldnt find anything about it. He obviously did not look very hard. If at all.

[@Saw_Squatch]

You also need to be careful about how you cut wood because these electric saws can actually snap off teeth if you start the saw with the chain on the wood. Had it happen to a co-worker of mine, they're all torque

The starting torque of a electric motor is truly incomparable to gas.

[@africanelectron751]

@@nolimitarmani a gas motor needs to be revved up to a few thousand RPMs before it begins to have real torque, but an electric motor has all the torque it will ever have as soon as it turns.

[@Alexander_l322]

@@nolimitarmani electric motor is instant torque and the 'gas' motor gets its power as you rev it up and if you get something stuck in the blade the chances are the engine will stall but an electric motor cant stall and can and will use its power to kill you

[@kentsatterfield6617]

I dropped a saw on my leg just above my knee and I wasn't wearing chaps. Got a nasty deep cut but I luckily picked it up before it went through any tendons. I always wear chaps now.

[@Channel_98.6]

Very interesting. In these experiments, when a gas motor is stalled, to bring it back to life you'd have to pull the starter. With the battery tool, the motor is still alive even after a stall, and it's still putting power to the sprocket as long as you hold down the "throttle". There are similar dangers with, for example, battery v corded sawzalls. Most people would think to unplug the corded tool to change a blade, but it's easy to forget to take the battery out for a battery-powered version ... (done that myself... not hurt, but realized later the risk I ran). Great video!

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Actually it was stalled while in contact with the chaps so it seems they did their job.

As interesting as this is I'd possibly prefer to have seen a better substitute for a leg. A log is not the same as a leg - perhaps something with a bit of give. Nevertheless, it's a good demonstration - be careful.

[@sensey111]

Cody, I think you need to attach those chaps to something that more resembles muscle and flesh, such as a ham hock or a ballistic gelatin block. A hard surface like the log only allows a small area of initial engagement and may not pull in enough of the fibers to stop the chain.

[@adamfpv8294]

It is highly recommended to let your mini tractor warm up and cool down, if you want it to last as long as possible, especially if you have a turbo. A couple minutes of cool down, and at least 5 minutes of warmup longer if it’s cold. This is only important for diesel engines. I don’t like seeing machines getting damaged just because someone doesn’t know how to use it. I have learned stuff from you I hope you can learn something from me.

About the skunk thing, if you or anyone in your family or your pets gets sprayed, use hydrogen peroxide, it neutralizes the spray and gets rid of the smell.
