Upgrade Your Chainsaw Game with These 5 Essential STIHL Accessories

[@zekemowat1560]

The log hook is a very handy cant hook for rolling a log to finish up a cut. Stick one in your wedge pouch and it's always there.

[@MachineryNation]

Nice, I will give it a go 👍🏼

[@Premier_lawns_official]

The vice looks like a handy bit of kit to have

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Robbie 🥳

[@tomfendall1942]

Used in forestry mainly the tongs and hooks. Hook is used to roll logs over. I use tongs sometimes on arb jobs when I’m working on the ground they do make life easier.

[@hossdunn8727]

Great tools to help out on the timber work

[@jamiewilliamson2500]

Those chain results surprised me

[@MachineryNation]

Me too! 🤩

[@stephenrundle-gg3vq]

Definitely getting the 3in1 thought it was a gimmick to !

[@ksaweryviajerossinrumbofij3979]

Thanks for the video i learned something new today!!

[@codystanfield2003]

First time watcher/subscriber. I'm a fellow STIHL man myself. I use the MS 70

[@111gump]

We use this hook for moving big plants and trees with root ball.

[@MachineryNation]

Nice, thank you.

[@puzzelmaster7736]

this was an interesting video to watch again

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@HobbyMotorDK]

That saw ran super super sweet - the four-stroking went away right when the saw started working - nice video James & Co

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Clause! It was running sweet 👌🏽

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Hi James, I think the hook is just to make it easier in moving logs about, i have one of them sharpeners and i find it spot on to use and makes a good job, been a really good video and a nice giveaway 💪👍

[@NoirCordis]

Nice bit of work on that Ash. That big cut on the fence post was defo a sketchy one.. well handled .. Will be getting a pair of those tongs on order

[@MagicMarvin33]

I need to sharpen my saws. I'd be interested in the vid you said comparing that type of sharpener before I get one. I feel they would save a lot of time like you said. Thanks in advance.

[@Lawnhub]

A true Stihl fanboy needs them shades!! 😎

[@patrickvennard838]

Great video I recommend Hexa chain for anyone new to filing chain its pretty hard to go wrong. I use it when in the woods so easy to touch up. I wish they also made it .325. Pfred also makes the same three in the filling guide again great for the novice.

[@MachineryNation]

Yes, I agree. It really does, we tried this in the Hexa video we created. Thank you 🥳

[@MarkJones-kn2rj]

I use the hook to roll logs around, making it easier to cut them all the way around.

[@DJC995]

Nice One James handy accessories Have a good weekend Thanks again

[@HighlandArborist]

Love the videos James, and those sunglasses. The drag hook is mainly for dragging logs around and can be used to lift medium length logs with a 2nd or the tongs.

[@MrV8rick]

great stuff. I need a new big saw and an Alaskan mill

[@yad7733]

Nice bit of kit🤙

[@RJLgardens]

Nice bit of fun with the chainsaw 👍. I'm not a fan of those 2in1 chain sharpeners but have been looking at 1 for the ¼ pitch chain stuff, just wish they were cheaper 😲

[@MachineryNation]

100-% on the 1/4 inch stuff. As those little buggers are horrible to sharpen 👍🏼

[@user-ge2to1me7f]

Likewise with the 1/4 chain as the tiny round files flex so much

[@patrickburt4359]

Need that sharpener for sure!

[@vincentreah1157]

🎉great lookin saw runs good also

[@shanealicea8883]

Great accessories

[@warrestoops3695]

Very nice video 🙂 and some nice filework on the chain 😉

[@jameswilkins7757]

The hook is for moving small logs and brash The sharpener is good for 1.4 pich chain

[@MachineryNation]

Brash yes! Hook it on and drag it out 👍🏼

[@GrassChoppersIreland]

Very impressed with the 3 in 1 chain sharpener. Keep up the great work, your reviews are great

[@dannnyturner9399]

Them sunglasses actually suited you . Brilliant video again . I only ever used the chain sharpener once however I could not use it correctly so pay some one to do it

[@MachineryNation]

Haha, it’s worth tying again, it’s really good! Ok cool, I might keep them then haha.

[@alid8646]

i have 3 different sizes of those sharpeners, they work great! the tongs look handy to, might have to look into those!

[@MachineryNation]

Awesome! Yes do!

[@324bear]

The sharpener!!!

[@derrasenmaher9730]

James, I use the vice and the file/sharpener for years now, never sharpened it any faster. Those are the best.

[@MachineryNation]

Ideal, yeah they are a good combo!

[@derrasenmaher9730]

@@MachineryNation The Hexa chain needs a special file to sharpen it. Only thing that the new Hexa is easier to charpen but too expensive for a lot of usage.

[@inga.hamsteren5552]

My farovite chainsaw is also the 400c😊👍

[@tealjacks9125]

😎22 ton splitter.. say no more

[@maxbaxter7338]

I’m so new to this industry but I’m fully hooked into this now and way! I’m watching every video that comes out and seeing tools I’ve never seen or heard of and it’s incredible! Why haven’t I seen anyone with the log grabber?????? It’s awesome

[@MachineryNation]

I am still really surprised how good they are!

[@tedlyhughes2039]

Hi MN I've been using the 3 in1 stihl sharpener for a few years great bit of kit 👍👍

[@MachineryNation]

It really is 👍🏼

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

Great content. There is no way a battery chainsaw will ever produce the power/efficiency as you showed here with your petrol saw 👍

[@MachineryNation]

Petrol saws are so much fun! Goes through bone like butter 👌🏽

[@theautisticarborist6846]

Cramer have a 3.4kw 82v max 72v nominal battery saw that runs an 18 or 20" .325" 0.50" Oregon bar and chain. It's roughly as powerful as a 560xp ms362 or ps6100 / ea6100 ! Really Interesting peice of kit ! I'll also add @ 3.4kw it's .4kw more power than the msa300. I will say keep your eye on Cramer if you want to see bigger battery saws 😜🤫

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

@@theautisticarborist6846 I'm sure they have, but id still rather the noise alone of a petrol saw. Don't get me wrong, battery are the future and engines are going away whether we like it or not, unfortunately

[@theautisticarborist6846]

@@PatHiggins-Mayo aye they have there place the battery saws, domestic arb work with a place to charge or an inverter in the truck, they are ideal, less noise, no fuel / exhaust emissions and easier to communicate + the instant start for top handles, especially when doing reductions and tip work. Though for all out grunt and power to weight ratio petrol wins everytime 💪💪

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

@@theautisticarborist6846 yup, exactly right. I only use a saw for my own domestic work so i presume my next one will be electric. Ill hang on to my Stihl ms171 as long as i can 😊😊

[@user-ge2to1me7f]

The pulp hooks are meant to be used in pairs to pick up short lengths of pulp wood, one hook in each end of the log.

[@captjackgrizzlybear]

Definitely need to get one of those 3 in 1 files for my chainsaws

[@stevejones9936]

Nice work with the saw!

[@spencehh]

Great vlog as always. I need to get the file.

[@MachineryNation]

100% agree 👍🏼

[@radojamie]

I have used the hook and tongs on longer lengths of wood IE stakes and bars hook in one end and tongs so far up for lifting can carrying them into place

[@MachineryNation]

Interesting thank you. So proper “Captain Hook” style then? 😂

[@radojamie]

@MachineryNation yea if you like lol.. it does save the back a little..

[@davidfisher3273]

I’ve got the file. Very useful

Maybe I will look into those sharpeners after all...

[@MachineryNation]

2 weeks ago I would of said probably stay with what you have.. now the east file all the way!

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Nice one guys. That file looks sweet ( same as thought it was a gimmick )

[@marccadec6978]

I have been using the 3 in 1 sharpener for years, The hook goes into the end of longer logs in combination with the grab on the other end.

[@spitNsawdust]

Maybe the hook would be handy for unloading wood off a truck bed? Wouldn’t be without my tongs tho, defo worth getting a pair. ✌️

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah that’s true! Thank you.

[@fibreguy1971]

Oh god another saw I will have to buy from you. Like the ms400. But also may have to buy the echo 4310 prob just have to buy both.

[@nathancreed2934]

Gonna get myself that sharpener!

[@MachineryNation]

Nice 👍🏼

[@jstpsgthru]

I like the sharpener.

[@almclean4835]

You use the tongs and hook together. Tongs are used how you used them the hook goes into the end of the log, we called them pulp hooks

[@MachineryNation]

Awesome thank you, that makes sense now 👍🏼

[@almclean4835]

@@MachineryNation we used to sharpen the point on the hooks to get them in the wood easier. Still got mine somewhere

[@frazerrennie1340]

Great kit❤

[@timbert4672]

I almost bought some Stihl glasses like that to go with my Stihl baseball cap, imagine the number of fanboy comments that would draw. Handy little tool that sharpener, do they do anything like it for reciprocating hedge-cutters?

[@MachineryNation]

Not that I’m aware of. Yes they are cool and would get some attention lol.

[@TCMaine]

Great vid!

[@liamredmill9134]

Used for Rolling giant log's?

[@DadnSonOutdoors]

Completely unrelated but if you happen to remember what type of paint you used on the bolens husky video from 2 years ago I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to use that yellow goldish paint as well but can’t find the original code or colour

[@MachineryNation]

I can’t remember what the RAL code was. I’ve still got some left in my paint cupboard. If you email me [e-mail] I will remember to look for you. Also I’m selling the Bolens if you are interested.

You shouldn’t pull the chain backwards it damages the oil pump for lubricating the chain

Are you pulling my leg? Never heard that before.
