safety glasses, hard hat, face screen, ear protection, safety glasses. Harbor Freight is awesome.

Very insightful

[@happycamper6352]

Very useful. I can say from experience, a day is ruined when you get a pinched bar on a telescopic pole saw, which will separate in half if you try to yank it out. If you get your compression/tension cuts right, you won't have to worry about that almost ever.

I was thinking of just nicking it underneath to stop tear out

i got the portland chain saw stuck in a little tree. I need to make sure Zi know how to not happen again.

In poland, they just called them saws. Buy plug-In or battery.

Had to playback many times to understand the narrator's language. Such a challenge to discern British English phonetics

The narrator is Australian, which may have compounded your difficulties ... it can be a challenge to understand us! 😊 🐨🦘🇦🇺
