LowRyter Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Speaking of hammers. I used my orange plastic Harbor Fright mallet for the first time. I was mowing the lawn. I tried restarting the mower after gassing it up and pulled the starter cord and the ratchet mechanism pulled out. So I pulled the cord, then smacked the mower with the mallet and the cord engaged, the mower started and the ratchet still works. The timing of the pull and smack was key. $209 Ace Hardware price tag still on it after 4 seasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it's a $209 mower . . . although, I've seen some $209 hammers (that I have lusted after . . .) Okay, those may have been Gränsfors Bruks axes . . .

LowRyter Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just mowed today. Ratchet is slipping about half way in the travel. I hope I can make it through the summer. Not sure I am ready for a battery mower yet. I might get hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, those may have been Gränsfors Bruks axes . . . Hey docc, I’ve got one of those trendy, over-priced GB axes! I have their Small Forest Axe, but I sent the first one back because of a sloppy head alignment. The second one they sent me is fine, and it’s a nice handy large hatchet / small axe, but I actually use my Husqvarna axe more and find it just as good an axe at less than 1/3 the price of the GB! I did however refinish the Husky’s handle with linseed oil and cleaned up the edge, and now it’s very much on par with the GB. Actually the Husky’s handle has better grain! Husqvarna’s on top, GB’s on bottom: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Nice to know about the Husky! I do enjoy my small collection of axes. They’re like hammers with an attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Indeed! Here’s one my faves, an old U.S.F.S. double bit with a True Temper Kelly Work Flint Edge head: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
