I got a lot of fence posts set from gate to sheep shed. I was kind and only worked 9am-9pm with the driver.

LOL You guys crack me up. I did maybe 4 hours total thru the day, 14 posts. My arms aren't that sore but I got blisters even with gloves.

Today I didn't do any tposts. Just used my chainsaw. 😏

For no blisters...

Super tight goatskin gloves... then work gloves over them....

The super tight goatskin gloves act like a callous layer.

Back when I was young... and would weekend/occasional warrior at the ranch... they worked perfectly.

My chainsaw broke. It will not keep chain under tension. 😭 I also ran out of umph. I will send it in for warranty claim.

And this evening, Bruno killed a chicken. We suspected him of a couple others but this time I saw him. He was running across field with chicken in his mouth. I hopped out of car bellowing "LEAVE IT!" He dropped the chicken and came towards me. I put him in down and checked on the bird. It was still warm. πŸ˜­πŸ“πŸ˜­

I had him in down while I held chicken in front of face growling "MY CHICKEN! MINE". That's my normal phrasing when he gets intent on something he shouldn't. Then husband walked him on short lease back to house and into crate. I got my brand new net and caught all my chickens to trim flight feathers. 90% sure the deaders flew over fencing. *sigh*

@Bruce It's a Milwaukee M18 battery operated chainsaw. It's only a year old :(. Part of it maybe my usage cycle- nothing for months then days straight of small 2" stuff with occasional 8" tree. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I standardized on Milwaukee for myself and work because they have 5yr warranty. They will inspect tool for free then refurbish for ~30% new if not warranty repair. All you need is serial # of tool, no registration hassle.
