You don't have to tell me i am right..we will asume it.
I think the last chain I bought was about $19... and I go through about 3 per year. A saw shop has to make money and that includes paying somebody to log in your chain, then get it back to you and accept your payment. I run a file across the teeth at least every other tankful, at $8.00 every time it would get rather pricey. It's pretty easy to learn how to file and once you learn it will save you a lot of time and money. There are some pretty good tutorials on YouTube, and several good file guides out there.

:shocked: I have to say, i'm surprised.I took down rakers and sharpen chain for first time on big Jon, feeler gauged the rakers at .020 before, then after one swipe they was a good .035. This chain is a year old so at this rate it should last 10 years or until I'm to old to lift the saw.

You have make sure oil and gas cap on that 025 is pretty tight or you'll be wear one or the other, or both. So i've been told.....
Man I want to work for you if your used to paying out those amounts.
Total bills. stihl 440 $40, 025 $15, H440 $20, P1 $15, P2 $15.
Had a guy drive over a hour to bring me a stihl 460 in a box apart once. 2 dealers told him a estimate of $700. I redone it with parts and labor for $200. Half that was parts.
Two years ago I took my 2013 550xp to have fixed, it wasn't idling or going full power. I took it to a chainsaw repair shop, the chainsaw guy took it apart and said one of both seals are gone and possibly bearings on crankshaft needs to be replaced, labor and parts was going to be $300.00+.Man I want to work for you if your used to paying out those amounts.

So I guess when splitting a saw it gets expensive putting it back together. The saw guy wouldn't give me a nickel for it in a trade-in so I sold it on ebay and bought a new 550xp, somewhere else for $75.00 less then what he wanted, maybe I should've brought it out to you that weekend while I was out riding around..........

I wish someone like you was around here. There are real good saw guys here, but they charge those amounts to say good morning.
The name brand shops want 80 here to even look at folks saws. That was like 5 years ago.
But I hate how they do their techs etc too. Charge like 75-105 hr but pay their techs beans.
I laughed when I checked what a local stihl dealer here was paying their techs for the first 3 levels up to gold.
I'm retired now and picky who's saws I work on. Just word of mouth and good folks saws.
