I aquired an older Clam 5600 in good shape, and I'm not overly impressed with the pole system. It's got plastic joints, 3 on each corner, 12 in total. They just aren't a good deal. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make them better? I know Clam can sell me a new set of poles for $100 bucks or so, but it's a house that is soon to be my spare and I just want to try and make it better without dropping too much $$ into it.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
