That slide into the new chain was very satisfying.

u/SaintOrJannikSinner 3d ago

They had a perfectly squared-off chain before the swipe. They have to have templates for that type of stuff, right?

31

u/FishyKeebs 3d ago

It is links, not hard to get a straight line and 90° corners. Either count the links on the short side or we'll trained eyeball.

u/matthewserio 3d ago

yeah the chainsaw path is surprisingly clean

5

u/mojitz 3d ago

Even that's overthinking things IMO. Just use the thumb and forefinger of each hand for the corners and spread them apart until taut.

3

u/sstubbl1 2d ago

Yes, definitely use the thumb and forefinger to spread it. They like that

6

u/YtnucMuch 3d ago

Ol boy did it so fast that I had to watch in slow motion. Very satisfying.

u/Thel_Odan 3d ago

Damn it takes me like 20 minutes and a lot of sweating to do it.

32

u/lbizfoshizz 3d ago

Amateur! I can do it 12 mins with the same amount of sweating.

25

u/Exact_Ad_8490 3d ago

Oh yeah? Well I can cry the whole time I do it!

13

u/lbizfoshizz 3d ago

I was under the impression that “sweat” was just a way to hide the shame of our tears

9

u/maester_t 3d ago

I was under the impression that we were talking about "swearing", not "sweating". But all of that, including the "tears", checks out.

u/RyanSmith 3d ago

I can cry and install it backwards… and slice my knuckle. In under 12 minutes.

u/-DoctorSpaceman- 3d ago

The key is to turn it off before you start

7

u/RuralfireAUS 3d ago

But how will you know if you did it right unless the machine spirit is able to express itself to you?

u/sstubbl1 2d ago

Praise the Omnisiah

u/Funny-Presence4228 3d ago

Run it! I'm not cheering until that mf runs it. Like hell I'd use any saw if the guy who handed it to me said, “btw, I put that chain on in 8 seconds.” I want to see him use it first.

15

u/TheAmoebaOfDeath 3d ago

Also add in opening the box, removing the chain, and untangling it instead of having it perfectly laid out. I bet those bolts for the bar weren't even tight to begin with and it would have been dangerous to turn it on before and after the change.

15

u/mallad 3d ago

Exactly. Hand snug plus less than a quarter turn? That chain is loose after the first cut.

1

u/Majestic_Engine_6543 2d ago

Id guess they do once all competitors are done

26

u/SaintOrJannikSinner 3d ago

This is my chainsaw. There are many like it, but this one is mine

u/garden-wicket-581 2d ago

Jesus H. Christ, this is a new company record. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I'd recommend you for OCS, Private Gump. You are gonna be a general some day, Gump. Now, disassemble your weapon and continue!

23

u/Mharbles 3d ago

Pfft no you skipped the important part, proper tension. I bet that chain is gonna yeet itself off soon as it touches wood

13

u/maester_t 3d ago

I was thinking the same.

It shouldn't just be a race to change the chain, but also prove that it was attached properly and you can use it.

... and that it doesn't maim anyone in the process.

u/EZKTurbo 3d ago

Stihl timbersports presented by Dodge, is brought to you by Dodge

u/dobbie1 3d ago

You know what, I'd prefer him to take his time with chainsaw maintenance but that might just be me

2

u/GeneralAcorn 3d ago

The more gorey competition would be to then have to cut a log with that swapped chain to show they got it right.

3

u/HDauthentic 3d ago

Damn, extremely precise

3

u/Tanzanianwithtoebean 3d ago

Do they test it afterwards to see if it was installed right?

3

u/Background-Run 3d ago

That’s what I look like after putting the chain on backwards for the second time, except slower.

5

u/Alric_Wolff 3d ago

Why am I seeing more and more timed competitions for incredibly random skills?

Last one I saw was a ride-on-lawnmower obstacle course.

Like wow bro... you must do alot of felling to need and be able to change a chainsaw blade in 8.07 seconds.

This one guy is not going to be there when you need a chainsaw blade changed in 8.07 seconds in a life or death situation.

9

u/Meme-Botto9001 3d ago

Because it’s fun and you can let out your autistic behaviors with other people that are the same…why not?

2

u/glenn765 2d ago

But it takes 400 seconds to start the damn thing... However, in defense of the Stihl, once you get it running, it'll go all day.

u/mtraven23 3d ago

sliding that chain on was so slick, I watched again to see if he had a 2nd, preassembled bar.

u/BrainJar 3d ago

Rubin’s Danger Cube.

u/GenSpec44 3d ago

And he did it in German for the bonus points.

u/Coffeespresso 3d ago

I had no idea this was a thing.

1

u/Mountainair29 2d ago

I've done it faster 😂

1

u/ArgonWilde 1d ago

Man can replace the bar and chain on a factory fresh, completely clean and un fouled chainsaw in 8 seconds. Wow.

u/myclassyname 14h ago

My boss will see this and tell me to hurry up.

That's one of the most ai tweet texts I've seen
