Funny you should say that, we were in a saw shop yesterday looking at a pair of Stihl chainsaw trousers wondering why they were so cheap(£80). Looked durable bet felt very light, asked the guy in the shop and he said " there no good for you boys, wouldn't stop your saws, they are more for a home owner!!"
Now we don't use anything that anyone from here couldn't go and buy which we sort of thought was rather worrying
Strange. My ones feel very solid, I bought them 4 years ago though so perhaps they've changed suppliers. Now we don't use anything that anyone from here couldn't go and buy which we sort of thought was rather worrying

I've hired three pros to remove large amounts of trees.
None wore chainsaw specific trousers, boots or gloves.
Youtube shows the majority on there don't either.
Not pros then, cowboys more like. I've never worked for anyone who wouldn't wear chainsaw trousers when cutting, it's not worth the risk. If they're that gung-ho about safety, what's their work going to be like?! All in my experience, of course.None wore chainsaw specific trousers, boots or gloves.

taking money for cutting down a tree doesn't make someone a professional.
Actually that's the definition:"engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur"
You're displaying your ignorance yet again - I didn't make the definition up - that IS THE DEFINITION - the fact that it demonstrates you're stupid, is your problem.

I corrected you.
You got offended, despite being wrong.
You then posted two further incorrect and pointless posts.
Why do you keep referring to penises - that is the correct term "penis" you are not one as they are fantastic and required to continue the species.
Are you a closet homosexual ?

Although a little out of date, these stats are why I wear protective gear, especially chainsaw trousers when using my chainsaw.
According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission there were over 28,500 chain saw injuries in 1999. More than 36% were injuries to the legs and knees.
The average chainsaw injury requires 110 stitches

But then americans are terrifying. Over here you have to have a license to buy a top-handle saw, over there they're sold as beginner / "lady" saws!According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission there were over 28,500 chain saw injuries in 1999.
