I've never said it before, so I wanted to leave this here:
Thank you very much for having little to no dead time on your videos. You always time your commentary on the comparison you're making just right so you're done before the test finishes.
This makes it so that when you're done talking, you're ready to show the next in line, and gives your videos a very dynamic feel.

This guy is our only reliable source of knowledge about tools and he needs to be protected at all cost.

[MarkAAshdown]

This guy is the best for comparison tests on you tube that I have seen. No nonsense, no time wasting and no annoying music. We should all send him a few dollars / pounds.

It's been incredible to watch you grow over the years! I remember when most everything you tested was either "should you get this cheap thing or the super cheap knockoff?." Not to say that you have gone above the average homeowners budget, it's just that your growth and success has allowed you to test some higher end tools and it's verry appreciated.. A $7 screwdriver is one thing, but when you're testing multiple different products that are $50 to $100 a piece, that's where you're saving us some serious money brother! I agree with everyone else! Protect this man at all costs! For he is the only "Quality Control" person lookin' out for the little guys!! 🤙

Let's all stop for a minute to admire the amount of time and thought it must take for you to not only think of the ideas but to make the tests the video then editing. Thank you!!!

The most famous quotes of all time: "one small step for man", "let's get ready to rumble" and "We're going to test that" :P

I love this video. Nothing but pertinent info. No dead air or wasted words. I also loved the scientific integrity, the weighted bar to insure consistency and the 2nd take of the whole process. Good job!

The Stihl 2 in 1 lives in my belt pouch and gets used in the field — clear winner in my opinion…

[brtrimmer]

I'm a line clearance tree trimmer and the Stihl 2n1 is my go to.

[josephbucko]

Can you do one on digital torque wrenches? I seen the other day harbor freight has one and I would like to see how it held up to a snap on. Like if you agree 👍🤙🤙

[SecureRepairAndSales]

I have used the sthil 2 n1 for nearly 2 years now, compact, convenient, fast and easy to use. It also fits in the glove box of my utv without trying to keep track of accessories or other loose parts other sharpeners need.

[Frankiarmz]

Twenty years ago I purchased the big Oregon bench sharpener, think I paid $300, and some spare stones . I have sharpened hundreds of chains and it’s still in perfect condition! There is definitely a learning curve, easy to remove too much material, and burn cutter ! You must adjust slowly and go easy !

This channel is what youtube is supposed to be about. Amazing knowledge for the world. In short, thanks for posting.

"One of my least favorite things to do is chain sharpening" A Fricking Men...The only thing I hate more than sharpening chains is cutting with a dull one.

[kevinmaas]

Thank you for your attention to detail and explanation of the process. This serves to make the video credible. Keep up the good work.

[edwintamasese]

In a world where you can trust so few, you make up the few. Amazing work. Thanks for all you do.

[OldGuyDIY]

Thank you for another valuable video. I think yours is the most valuable channel on youtube. Whenever I am considering buying a new tool, I stop at your channel and review the applicable comparison video. You have saved me considerable time and money through the years.

Doing chainsaw work for 40 years almost every day, I never used anything but a file. I also never let anyone else run my saws. High-end Husky's and Stihl's. I also wrapped my files in soft cloth and kept them clean, I'd get years out of the file. We had a Stihl grinder, which some people preferred because of their inability to file it correctly. I was always constantly making new chains up for them, since they'd go through chain so fast. I did use the Stihl file tool, and found it excellent if you were careful.
