You talking about the guy at Shelby?

I've bought Stihl scabbards there. He didn't rip me off or anything. Bought a few Stihl parts from him too. He treated me OK.

Yea Shelby. I lost a side cover nut in the woods the other day. I went there to get one. I got a scabbard while I was there.
I went to the woods the next day and managed to lose another nut. I was in Ashland Saturday morn so I stopped at M and M.

Post by: jmester on January 30, 2015, 04:57:15 pm: I very much like the new Stihl bar covers. Nice that they are one piece and cheap to buy. Have them on all my saws in the chip truck saw box sure does beat putting a hole in a fuel tank.

Post by: Philbert on January 30, 2015, 04:46:58 pm: I got a section of rubber coated/impregnated hose and made up a scabbard for a larger saw (MS660 with 36" bar). I made it extra long to protect the bar and chain when not installed on the powerhead, because we found the saws easier to transport and store in that manner. The hose was used and I scrubbed it clean, then bleached out the interior due to ? growing in there. Took a couple of days to fully dry when 'blocked' open in my basement with a piece of wood.

That made me nervous - started thinking about expensive bars and chains rusting if stored like that. The plastic scabbards dry out pretty quickly. So would a wrap-around style canvas protector. Might be different if you use the saws every day. Might be a reason to use uncoated, canvas hose. But I don't want to pull out a 'surprise'. I have not heard of this happening with anyone's bar inside a fire hose, but I think that I will repurpose this hose for a crosscut saw protector - it would be slit open, and not a tube.

Post by: Philbert on February 15, 2014, 02:07:22 pm: Looks like there is a bunch of used fire hose on eBay, if you can't find some locally. 10 and 25 foot sections. Going for a couple of bucks a foot, including shipping.

If you have a couple of saws, or can split it with a buddy, could be an OK deal.

We have pressurized hydrants around here and they usually use flat hoses.

Thats the ones I was thinking of.

Not sure she has recovered from the last new toy to find it's way home...I'll have to be extra sneaky!

Post by: Philbert on February 13, 2014, 09:24:01 pm: We have pressurized hydrants around here and they usually use flat hoses. I'm guessing that the suction hose would be used for drawing from a lake, or holding pool, etc.?

If you look on line, they show flat fire hose up to 6 inches in diameter. If you are scrounging, I guess it depends on what your local FD has.

Title: Re: Soft scabbards....who has them
Post by: 660magnum on February 13, 2014, 06:57:34 pm: The big suction hose from the hydrant to the pumper would be too heavy and stiff. It will not collapse with the pumper sucking on it.
Title: Re: Soft scabbards....who has them
Post by: Philbert on February 13, 2014, 06:02:59 pm: There are different sizes. The hand lines, held by the firefighters, are the smallest. The stuff that runs from the hydrant to the pumper can be 2 to 4inches in diameter.

4 inches in diameter can be about 6 inches when laid flat; 3 inch diameter can be 4-1/2 inches flat - depends how thick the jacket is.

Post by: Cut4fun on February 13, 2014, 02:08:16 pm: JMO it seems the old fire hose route would be the way to go.

Now wondering how big across is a fire hose when laid flat.

The firehose idea might have some traction here, I don't think I'd be able to stitch them.

I know a guy around here who uses it on most of his saws: especially the longer bars - hard to find scabbards that fit those.

He cuts the ends off square and 'sews' one closed with wire (like a spiral notebook).

Post by: Cut4fun . on February 13, 2014, 12:50:27 pm: Same Green Valley Products Chainsaw Bar Scabbards cheaper then baileys at Type One Products . http://www.typeoneproducts.com/products/green-valley-products---chain-saw-bar-cover.html

Type one also goes up to 42" not just 36" like baileys.

Title: Re: Soft scabbards....who has them
Post by: SDB777 on February 13, 2014, 06:58:26 am: Those leather one's look a might bit pricey....and maybe they are, I didn't see a price anywhere while looking around. And the scabbards I was wanting to get would be for my longer bars(32"+ size)...

The firehose idea might have some traction here, I don't think I'd be able to stitch them. But maybe a simple wrap with a drawstring or the like would be enough to keep them from getting bumped, dinged, or whatever?
I will look for some old hose today out in the yard at work.

Thanks for the ideas!

Post by: SDB777 on February 12, 2014, 07:02:38 am: Was thinking it is time to get a couple new scabbards. And I forget where I had seen them....maybe Green Valley?
Has anyone used one of these soft sided scabbard/tool holding type devices?
A source for them would be awesome too?

Looking for something other then the plastic things. And my custom scabbards keep coming up missing.(Made a few out of some EasternRedCedar on the sawmill-then just made a simple plunge cut into the thick slab). Guess I made them too nice, went to town and some one unbolted them for the truck bed rail!
