GlooBoy asked:


My 10″ pole saw has cracked and broken and no longer safe to use. I want to replace just the saw but don’t see a 10″ model. Will the 14″ which looks just like it, (in the pictures, haven’t seen it in person) with the same 8 Amp motor, work?

I see Sears has a 12″ looks the same too…

After doing a little more research I went to Sears and bought the 14″ Remington(on sale). The motor and casing are the exact same size. It bolts up perfectly. Works fine and can’t be more than 1 pound heavier than the 10″(just 4 extra bar inches and some extra links). So I answered my own question.. Can I get those 10 points?

Jaime R asked:

I bought a new bike chain and i took off one to many links. How can i add an extra link back on. I used the link removal tool to take it off but i can’t get the pin back in to add an extra one.
