Is $125 - $175 a decent price for these used Stihl saws? From what I can tell, they seem to have a 18" inch or longer blade, and at least a 40cc engine.  Linky I need to get one for around the house and in case of zombies.  Mike |
My Jarhead buddy, his dad works for DOT, and you would not ever beggin to guess how many tools they pick up off the road, and just throw into huge bins... |
My grandpa's shop is stocked with tools he picked up from 20 years working on a county road crew

Don't lie, you were looking at there

This might explain why some of our roads are designed the way they are:  |

They've got some interesting stuff listed on ebay: www.ga.wa.gov/Surplus/auction.htm Not sure why the state is selling comic books.  Some of the spelling is quite creative too. |
We used my 029 and my fathers 026 side by side when we cut all our firewood up. The 026 is definitely a nicer saw. (much lighter, clear gas tank, etc.) But side by side, the 029 did seem to do just a little more work. Since we were only bucking horizontal logs, I suspect the heavier weight may have been a bit of help in that case.... Whenever I've needed to carry a saw very far, I borrow his.  I'll probably step up next time and spend the extra dough. |
