Not a haul but I think I got some good stuff.
1. Echo CS- 3000 14" chainsaw. $ 40.00 . Didn't run but I got it to run long enough to know it needs a carb kit.
2. K-D 2517 tubing bender. I found one of these last week too.
3. Perfect T-76 brake spoon.
4. Champion CT - 436 spark checker.
5. # 5 & # 6 easy outs.
7. 1 each Cornwell E-33 & Craftsman G 3" extensions 1/2".
8. Craftsman V 1/2" universal.
9. Proto 5254 1/2" - 3/8" adapter.
10. Craftsman 1/4" x 3" G ext.
11. Knipex 4 3/4" end nippers.
12. Berylco P 103 8" non sparking pliers. I've always wonder why would someone have a pair of these in their home ??
Pics wont load. I'll try later.

They are out to get me. They are everywhere. You can not see them, but they are there. But I know how they think. They will not find me if I don't make any sparks....

Let's see - they worked overtime and the boss chiseled them out of it. Maybe they found above the ceiling, in the structure, in a chase or tunnel, etc.
Maybe they were like a lot of us and they couldn't be helped.
Maybe they were self employed and bought them home after using them on one job.
Any other reasons?

Nice saw. Been looking for a reasonable chain saw for some time now. Just for emergencies.
And for $40? Wow!

Nice saw.
I passed on the exact saw this past week-end cause they were firm at 80 dollars.
Now I wished I went back and "dickered more".

That's a $300.00 saw. I would have bought it at $ 80.00.

Most times, all you have to do is re-adjust the carb though its whole range, then fine tune it again. Lots of saws come with adjustment limiters these days, so if you have them, pull those off first.
Cranking the screws in and out, while keeping it running, blows out the obstructions and, off you go.
Unfortunately some saws have no carb adjusting screws at all lately (some newer Stihl models too) so you are screwed pooch with those, and have to always buy parts.
That nose guard is something I would ditch as quick as breathing. If you can't face genuine danger and be prepared for it, you have no business operating a chainsaw in the first place.
There is nothing safe about a chainsaw. They cannot be made safe. The attempted safety features people come up with only get in the way.
The only real safety factor is you, and your educated terror.
Worse than a snake or a table saw............. never take your eyes away for a split second. Never work when you are anything less than your best.

I have another Echo just like this but a model 3300. An Arborist Saw. I like a compact saw to climb into a tree with. It's a nice firewood saw as well.You can use it with one hand if you need to. These Echo's are nice to use. Very little vibration.

First chainsaw I had was very similar to that echo. That was a ok saw but a little small. Moved up to a stihl ms290 farmboss. Unfortunately the ms290 got stolen. Mid summer I bought a new stihl ms362 with a 20" bar. The 362 is a killer saw. The only thing I miss about the echo is its lightweight.
