We had a Husky 268 for 20 years, a fantastic saw. Plenty of power, started well hot or cold, economical and nice to use.

My snap box. Inherited from Dad, it’s well over 25 years old.

At our old house it lived on top of the oven, which led to several incidents of melting the bottom. Had to be quick to remould it before it set! I’ve had to have a new flask about 10 years ago and eagle eyed readers will notice a big dent in this one. I was alarmed to find I had parked my car on it a couple of years ago!!

Best thing I own. Thanks Dad.

I’ve got a small hobby type Stihl for handy jobs, ideal and light but is a class one barstewards to get going if it’s stood for any time! A couple weeks is enough! Have tried it with fuel in and without! The ancient 61 Husky though goes on second pull with any type or age of fuel But isba heavy lump!!!

I’ve got an old KV buck rake tine that gets used for multiple tasks. Plus another one that is bent about a foot from the end. It sits in the workshop for years unused but just occasionally is perfect for a levering job.

I’ve still got my Husky 268XP, I’ve had it 33 years now and it still goes well. Apart from numerous bars, chains and spark plugs the only thing it’s needed has been a muffler. I used it every day for 6 months after the hurricane in ‘87 so it’s done some work.

I carry a little 4" adjustable spanner in my pocket at all times on the farm it come in incredibly useful, must have save me hours of going off to find a spanner for battery terminals and the like. Best £15 I've ever spent:
