You guys may get tired of me talking about saws, but I just talked to Bob at Fire Hooks Unlimited and he is thinking about making his 14" 30 tooth carbide blade with a 20mm arbor h*** so you don't have to use an arbor adaptor on Stihl cut off saws. If anyone else uses Stihl saws please call him and ask for it!

Pike pole vs. Truckman's hook (New York Hook). We started using Truckman's hooks a couple of years ago and we all love them. It seems that the pike pole has fallen to the waist side. Does anyone else feel this way or should I give my pike pole some attention?

I am looking for some feedback on saws. We have a Stihl MS 460 Rescue saw with the Rescue chain "RDR" on our Truck. I've been impressed with it cutting vent holes, but haven't had a chance to cut anything else. Has anyone cut lexan glass or sheet metal roofs with it? There are alot of wood frame construction houses in my district with sheet metal roofs. We do have a Stihl TS 460 Cut of saw, but my Chief is reluctant to put a carbide tip wood cutting blade on it because of Stihl's disclaimer about using those types of blades.
