My wife works at the Va. Beach Stihl plant and Stihl gave all their workers one of these saws. I own a tree company, so she naturally gave it to me. I have used it for light duty cutting a few times, and it does serve a purpose when you don't want to lug around a gas-powered chainsaw. Being a Stihl employee, my wife gets a 50% discount, so I'm definitely getting the extension.
What I like about you Chris, is that you are real. I have met you several times and you are the same guy in person. I like your channel because you tell it like it is. Most of us would never get to try products, we would have to buy it and then if we are disappointed, we are stuck with it.
I wondered if you were going to be doing more promotion gigs. You are a natural with the gift of gàb and I for one enjoy seeing the new products. Also you don't pull punches.
Hello Chris! Its my father (Ben’s) birthday today, he loves your videos and every night we watch them as a family whilst eating dinner. You inspired us to construct our own woodyard and it is great for our family. If you could please leave a birthday message for him after this comment that would absolutely make his birthday really special and is the best gift he could imagine. Thankyou so much! Greg & Ozzie
Happy birthday Sir Ben! I hope you have a bunch more! Send me some pictures of your wood yard/piles saws/tractor/stuff for wood makin'! chrisinthewoodyard@gmail.com Some day I want to do a video or 3 about other peoples wood yards! Have a good one!
This is great, Chris! I got an N&N trailer and an Eastonmade largely due to your experiences. I’m sure you’ll sort out the junkers and the great stuff.
Handy little pruner saw to have around, even better with the handle. 2 in 1. The low amp charger is better for the Lithium Battery’s from my understanding. Either way, great to see a un-biased straight forward review Chris. Like you always say, I want it to work no matter the brand. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the upload Chris. You have something extremely valuable - your true honest self. There are some (too many actually) that would like to use it for their own ends, but as soon as they do in any ways that are not in keeping with your inner self, well they can damage that which is most precious, that honest competence people trust and listen to. Great move doing stuff with the local Stihl franchise manager, was it Jo? Western society has major foundations that are not true to reality so every one doing stuff in honest competence, is giving solid substance. *Only the reality counts,* is a very simple axiom but profound because _all the stuff that's not real adds to zero._ Cheers Sincerely d
I have a knock off and they are handy! I have a Ryobi battery combi pole saw with an 8” bar and you can be tempted to cut something too big . Good demo
I have the DeWalt 8 inch battery pole saw that can extend at least up to 15ft (including user height) and it's a life saver. I took down 4-5 smaller trees (up to 20ft tall) on a project I was doing using mostly that and only really used my chainsaw to piece up the fallen branches and cut down the main trunk. One big recommendation I would make when using pole saws: take branches down a few pieces at a time. If you try to take down a long and thick branch (4-5 inches thick), you're asking for a knee or head shot when that thing lands. You may be able to easily cut it with the tool, but it doesn't mean that you should.
I have to edmit we have 3 of there products. The oddest is there 120v chainsaw with 20" bar. . we have goten some strange orders for 30"ish long 8x8s~ and other sizes. And we use it to cut them to length. blocks for rail-road crash recovery footings. They just shove em in the ground tell they stop sinking, as they have bigger fish to fry. Like loosing a million or so an hour, because trains can't move.
Awesome Chris, your wife may find you a bit more attractive in that new shirt & hat! Lol😅😅 Cool tool. How about a rpm guage video for your power saws video, a properly turned saw is crucial 🤔 How tacky is the bar oils you use??
I doubt I can attract her much any more...39 years! I normally use stuff until it breaks and then I have someone else fix it (pro-shop) or I buy a new one. I am not a mechanic and don't want to be one either. I would rather hire a profession to do their job and I do mine. All bar oil works and the tests I have seen is that the cheaper stuff is actually better so.....
I own one of these hand held saws and they work great! Good for trimming and small stuff around the house. Now, when will you show is the Chris chain sharpening on this small saw. I will be looking for the extension.
Morning Folks.... Chris just posted a video on his Out of the Woodyard channel... He and Ken are testing their cartilage in the knees walkin in the swamp!! Enjoy!
I’m a huge stihl guy but I don’t like the fact that you don’t have a screw to tighten the bar, I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have an oiler and I don’t like those tool less barnuts
The sound is kind od cheep honestly, does not sound strong. I need a 26 for reach, Harbor freight has one for 60$ corded but he does the job, specially if the next time you cut those branches will be on the next 3 years
Chris I am A sthil Guy but i gotta ask you to! Dance with who brung ya. 1400 videos wearing Husqvarna hats shirts and sweat shirts doesnt look right you wearing sthil gear. Now my comment is no different then you calling a viewers saw a weenie saw, no harm intended just not the right equipment for the job. People respect your opinion and watch your channel for your honest opinion! Just doesnt feel right when its a Bob Villa citation dont leave your brand for the $$$
I am not leaving the brand, I am appealing to more viewers by showing more tools for the job..Echo, Stihl, Makita, Milwaukee, Husqvarna.....all make great stuff and some viewers are so brand loyal they will not watch any other brand being used. Plus comparisons of similar tool are something most people do not get to do every and on here I can give you an honest review.
@@InTheWoodyard MBA is correct. The phrase "shameless capitalist" Chris originated with Click and Clack of Car Talk days. Our fav program. They were both real PhD ( MIT ! ) garage mechanics around GOAT U in Cambridge, Mass.

Nice!! Good for you!!
Noone gets 50% discount at Stihl not even close. Dealers hardly get 30% discount on MRSP. I worked at a dealer. Basically you are lying
Great extension for the GTA26!! Helpful around the woodyard for trimming!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks 👍
Thanks for showing this product to us and testing it out. Awesome little brush saw. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Pretty cool little unit. Makes a nice low budget pole saw.
Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚
Logger Al
Yup, for around the yard it worked pretty well! More Stihl stuff to come! I ran a couple tanks through a 500 yesterday....awesome saw!!

G’morning Chris. I too, like good products. Many thanks Fer da information transmission. Looks nice.
GoodNightIrene
Good morning Transmission receiver!
Love this new colab! It will be great seeing cool stuff like this👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Lot LOTS More to come!
Looks like a handy tool Chris it should serve someone well for many years.
Thanks!
I wondered if you were going to be doing more promotion gigs. You are a natural with the gift of gàb and I for one enjoy seeing the new products. Also you don't pull punches.
Yup, lots more stuff to try out!

Thankyou we will definitely send some photos 😁
Thankyou so mucb for your generosity 😁😁
This is great, Chris! I got an N&N trailer and an Eastonmade largely due to your experiences. I’m sure you’ll sort out the junkers and the great stuff.
That is awesome! Thanks I will try!
Thank You Chris. I no longer feel like the evil step child.
Nice tool and a nicer add on.
There will be lots more Stihl stuff!
Aweeeessddoooommmmeeee
That's a nice tool and review.
Thanks for sharing with us 😉👍
Thanks for watching Sir Daniel!

Yup, working is good broken is bad! Pretty simple!
Good Saturday morning Chris!
Morning!
I like fact you can get in to trim under and in pines. Nice tool
Yup, thanks!
I have the Kombi system. It can get a little heavy sometimes. This would be a nice addition to the collection.
It sure is!
My brother has the M18 Milwaukee pole saw. Its lightweight cuts fast and great for pruning and even using in the nifty lift for hard to reach branches
Nice!
Me and ny brothers at the monastery love your videos
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for another informative video that makes me want to spend more money 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the upload Chris.

Great move doing stuff with the local Stihl franchise manager, was it Jo?

Good morning Chris nice good for you love it I buy what I like ( Ty Ron
Hello Ron, thanks!
What is the cost of the Extension pole?
I have no idea, it was a demo model I borrowed for a day to make the video, you might want to check out their web site???
@@InTheWoodyard Thanks for the reply and the video!
I like the hat and shirt, welcome to the "Dark-Side".....lol
Thanks, it is nice here!
Yes 👍 Chris every guy is always saying more inches 😮😊❤
Some do!
Great extension 😁🇦🇺
Yup!
Get your hands on the GTA 40.. 👍🏼👍🏼
I hope to soon!
This be perfect for my embankment trimming jobs.
Yup, they work great!
It definitely works great.
Hello there David! Yes it does that!
Another tool for the toolbox. Would be handy to trim around the yard.
Yes it sure is!
Good job Chris, I think your right 2-3 inches would be better…
Thanks, Yup ..more!
I like you even more Chris!!
I like mine and exited to try this new extension out
I knew bringing on other brands would help calm down the believers of all brands a little bit.
It is handy!
To bad they don’t make this saw brushless-that’s the only thing holding me back on purchasing one.
Yup, that would be nice!
Chris's cool tools😎
Tools are fun!
Handy dandy tool!! PPE is a good idea 'cause I like my parts too. GNI
Yup, parts are good and mine are very important!
You are win win winner person my friend
Thanks my winner friend!
I have to edmit we have 3 of there products.
The oddest is there 120v chainsaw with 20" bar.
.
we have goten some strange orders for 30"ish long 8x8s~ and other sizes. And we use it to cut them to length.
blocks for rail-road crash recovery footings.
They just shove em in the ground tell they stop sinking, as they have bigger fish to fry. Like loosing a million or so an hour, because trains can't move.
Yes, the rail roads loose money when shut down so getting then open fast is very important!
Landscapers using battery powered tools alot more in the city to keep noise down especially around condos 😊
Yes, city people do not like noise yet they all live 5 feet apart???
How a chainsaw company does not put an automatic oiler or a chain tensioner on a chainsaw is beyond me?
I refuse to buy this thing because of that.
ok.
Man he got the GTA 26 before GTA 6 even releases
It is a handy tool!
Awesome Chris, your wife may find you a bit more attractive in that new shirt & hat!
Lol😅😅
Cool tool.
How about a rpm guage video for your power saws video, a properly turned saw is crucial 🤔
How tacky is the bar oils you use??
I doubt I can attract her much any more...39 years! I normally use stuff until it breaks and then I have someone else fix it (pro-shop) or I buy a new one. I am not a mechanic and don't want to be one either. I would rather hire a profession to do their job and I do mine. All bar oil works and the tests I have seen is that the cheaper stuff is actually better so.....
What I’m sayin is does it work good?
Another saying, because I can.
It needs a Chris sharpening.
Very nice unit and very nice video
I own one of these hand held saws and they work great! Good for trimming and small stuff around the house. Now, when will you show is the Chris chain sharpening on this small saw. I will be looking for the extension.
It worked well for a little saw...nice reach!
Your dealer should have them now or very soon!
🤘
Thanks for watching!
I love my gta 26
Very handy for sure!
Little late for the new helmet...I am afraid you might have already hit your head!🤣 #howmanyfingersamiholdingup
Ha!!! It will be okay!
@@InTheWoodyard 🙏🙏
Morning Folks.... Chris just posted a video on his Out of the Woodyard channel... He and Ken are testing their cartilage in the knees walkin in the swamp!! Enjoy!
Yup, it was not easy for sure!
Trout in that stream? I went fishing. 5 outta 10. Now if you had a fishing pole I would hve watched the whole vid. Those rounds are calling you NO?
Your comment today 4 outta 10. No trout just minnows and suckers. No the rounds don't talk.
Good Review Chris, had to resubscribe again. Tuff saws🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for always coming back. Are you dumping you history or deleting all subscriptions some how??
I’m a huge stihl guy but I don’t like the fact that you don’t have a screw to tighten the bar, I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have an oiler and I don’t like those tool less barnuts
Yes, I would agree but it is so small that it is not a big deal.. But I also would like a oiler and a real bar nut too.
👍🏻👏
Thanks!
Is Bert talking to you? Lol
Nope
Ha! He is a little miffed but he will get over it when he gets to play with the toys!
Haaaaaaa!
$199.00 They must be out of their mines
Maybe minds. But they do sell $1.5 billion a year as a company so....
This is how a Mr. Chris comes out of the closet!!
Yup, small at first!
The sound is kind od cheep honestly, does not sound strong. I need a 26 for reach, Harbor freight has one for 60$ corded but he does the job, specially if the next time you cut those branches will be on the next 3 years
okay
14:20 ........"ah if I could just have a few more inches"
Yup, 1-2 more always!
Seems like everything u cut could have been done without the extension....😂
Maybe so.
Don’t make too much man glitter, your cranky old neighbor might call the city.
Ha!!!
2 to 3 inches more on the tool 😂😂😂😂
Yup!
Nice review Chris. Something is wrong though. Every time I tried to like your video it subtracted a like. Must be a Stihl or 1/2 Polish thing. GNI
Ha! Maybe so!
Good Morning Woodhounds!!(-:
Hello!
hE LOST HIS MIND
They gave him a hat that sat in the window, and the sun faded it out.
Nope, just an open mind.
Ha!

Shameless capitalist !
You are absolutely correct and I am proud of it. Socialism has killed hundreds of millions of people over the last century.
@@InTheWoodyard MBA is correct. The phrase "shameless capitalist" Chris originated with Click and Clack of Car Talk days. Our fav program. They were both real PhD ( MIT ! ) garage mechanics around GOAT U in Cambridge, Mass.
Way too much talking
Maybe you need to watch some of the other 1600+ videos on my channel....with the volume off?
