Chainsaw Repair

The Granberg is OK for the person that is only going to be doing a couple chains a year.

Compared with a $200 bench setup, the Granberg is miserable but it will punch out and spin up a nice chain. Takes a little muscle, don't think your wife could do it?

Come to think of it, you best be knowing what you are doing with the expensive bench breaker/spinner tools too.

Speaking of knowing what you are doing, I got a almost new Husky 350 chainsaw one time for $120 because it was no good and the chains wouldn't stay on the bar. He had two chains with the saw and he said that neither would stay on the bar.

When  I got it home, I looked at the chains and they had 3/8 pico or low profile presets on .325 chains where they were put together. I took a few hours and filed all the dings off the drivers and installed .325 presets on the chains and everything worked fine.

The story goes on . . . he had pried the clutch cover off with the brake "on" and torn up the brake band. But that was a inexpensive fix.
