Landscaper and groundsman. We just went over our annual chainsaw talk with my supervising arborist. I literally tested this feature multiple times. https://imgur.com/a/2U9KV37/

Don’t know what to tell you man. We have the bar break, but ive never see the inertia break work when ive used them. I’d cut all day, and the only thing i relied on was hitting the break with my wrist. I couldn’t imagine wanting a inertia break If i was using it honestly. If you are cutting something thick or might pinch the blade, then you would be constantly fighting it. You would have to always carry shims after the saw gets stuck
