Just SAW this on youtube.....

Almost 8,000,000 views maybe not so daft.

Exactly…. He’s still getting paid to create content that we’re supporting by watching and moaning about it!

A good quality modern chainsaw with all the correct safety guards in place is still without doubt one the most dangerous tools you can pick up. I spend around 4 hours a week with one in hand and you learn to respect the tool, and also to appreciate just how unpredictable wood is.

It's bad enough seeing all the muppets on YouTube using them without face guards, chainsaw trousers and boots, or at the very least a pair of steelies. This just takes it to a new level. Sooner or later you will bite the nose of the saw into the wood, the saw will kick back and without a brake you have a chain moving at around 80 feet per second rapidly making it's way towards your face.

Adapting an angle grinder - which has a locked on switch - not a trigger - is beyond stupid. A chain you can't stop instantly is literally a deathtrap if it kicks up into your face.

I thought that promoting methods of self harm was against YouTube rules.
I wonder if Stihl have seen that video. I can't imagine that they would be very happy with one of their products being so prominent in a "build your own auto-amputation device" video. Perhaps a Stihl representative should have a word with YouTube.

Careful, careful

Someone might make two Roman swords and use them to cut someones head off.

And their insistence on wearing baggy woolly jumpers Horrifying result to think about.
There was an example on one of the hospital 24 progs on tv a bit back, where an angle grinder caught someones jumper and buried itself into his stomach. Pretty nasty wound judging from the follow up scar.

" I wonder if there's already someone who's done a video of welding some chains and/or steel cable onto the angle grinder boss, then mounting it on a broom handle and using it as a strimmer. "
Anthony Robinson death: Firm fined over strimmer accident Someone put such an idea into commercial practice with the inevitable tragic result.

It's like Rule 34, but for stupid!
