Chainsaw Repair

There's more than one way to skin a cat .You can grind off the rivet heads in leau of a punch .If you know how a rivet can be peened rather than spun .

FWIW I get a fair amount of damaged Stihl branded chains every year from a tree trimmer buddy .I just cut them down from say a 24" loop to a 20" loop.More times than not a derailed chain only messes up a few drivers or a rocked chain a few cutters .

I've replaced sections of Oregon chain but I have pre sets and tie straps galore for that .Not too many for Stihl .
