Papa Salvooch asked:


I’ve never sharpened a chain for a chain saw. The directions on the Dremel attachment are written for someone with experience at doing this.

I recently purchased a 18v Porter Cable combo kit with the standard tools and lithium Ion batteries and smart charger for both LI and NCad batts. Since Porter Cable is owned by B&D and the batteries look similar in configuration, I was wondering if I could use the PC batts in the B&D 18v chain saw. It would be a handy addition to my kit since PC doesn’t make one. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Seems that I recall service stations doing that years ago and selling used oil. With the price of petroleum products these days, I’d like to save a buck here and there and truly recycle.

If this is true then it would confirm that tools have been around for longer than 6000 years!

dokomo asked:

Should I also be carrying another set? in my car? why…? I occasionally use tools to tighten or unscrew nuts and bolts around my house, for my riding mower, and chain saw, I do not think I hardly used tool for my car except rarely remember to removed a battery once in my 25 years owning a car.

Some of the trunks are around as thick as your leg. I tried using a small chain saw and the chain broke, the electric saw needs a new blade…so tell me, am I on the right track here or what? Should I just replace the blade on the electric saw? Should I use a sawzall? Please help. I did manage to cut down some of them, but I still have more to do. Thanks.
