My wife headed up to a friends house tonight to set up for a yard sale tomorrow. This neighborhood is known for its huge yearly sale. They even bring in porta pottys for the crowds. Well her friends husband brought out this saw and she asked how much. He said "just take it, I've only used it a few times". She leaves home with a bunch of kids stuff to sell and comes home with a nice little free saw. Damn I was proud of her!

That's just wrong. This site does not bring absolution, FYI.

I have no shame!

A common trait which binds so many of us here!

Now go cut your truck in half for absolution.

I'd be a little leery of the wife.

I was thinking that I'd be sending her to the next gun show.

Great score,keep sending her out to sales...

This, as many times as necessary.

No chit.

Reminds me of an old joke for some reason.


A guy tells his buddy about new bar that opened and when you buy a $1 beer you get a free steak dinner and get laid. His buddy asks "Have you been" he replies "No, but my sister has"

That's a great idea!

The 028AV Super is one of my all time favorites. My Dad gave me his when I bought my first house. It's cherished.

I wanna see your wife. ;-)

I gots an 028. Great saw.

I bought a brand new one,once in a while it would fire up in reverse.Dabble

Best told using an Irish accent.

Wow! Good on you!!

I had the same saw for years. You'll be happy with it.

That saw looks almost new. That is quite a feat for a saw made probably 30 years ago. I have an 028 Wood Boss that is 35+ years old and am having trouble finding parts for it. I need a new switch. The old one is fatigued and it is difficult to get it to hold its shape. It either won't start or won't shut down properly. Still has discontinued parts production. Anyhow, that is a great find.

That is a Stihl of a deal!

The contact springs are readily available. I'd assume that would help your situation.

Good scor there

Gave it a once over this morning. It came with a new chain so I swapped that over as the one on it wasn't gonna cut anything. Added some gas and bar oil and off it went. Runs like it's brand new! It'll make a nice little firewood saw to have in my boat when we're camping and fishing.
