Chainsaw Repair

"prices high on the presets and tie straps though. JMO"

I'm all ears if you know of any place to buy/order them cheaper (assuming that you don't get them with a reel of chain)? My local STIHL dealer charges more, even when I ordered them in packs of 10.

In another forum breaking punches was discussed, and centering them over the rivets appears to be key. Some breaker anvils are easier to position than others.

I don't re-use the pre-sets. The tie straps can often be re-used, but you have to be careful, as some hard to see burrs can prevent the spun rivets from seating properly, especially on smaller pitch chain.
