Description

Chainsaws compared for cutting speed from soft and hard lumber, noise level, battery life/cutting efficiency, torque on a chainsaw dyno, and minutes of run time per amp hour of battery. Brands: Milwaukee, Knockoff Milwaukee, DeWalt, Knockoff Dewalt, Kobalt, Dewalt, Craftsman, Greenworks, Makita, Knockoff Makita, Ryobi, WORX, WORKPRO, and Mechanicants. I personally bought all of the chainsaws and supplies used to compare the chainsaws to ensure an unbiased review.

Hey Project Farm I have a video idea: There are a ton of full-face respirators on the market, ranging from $15 to over $250. Some are basic, while others come with features like built-in microphones. I work as a contractor doing painting, remodeling, and drywall, and a full-face mask is a game-changer. It protects your lungs from dust and fumes and keeps your eyes clear—especially when sanding sheetrock or spraying paint. I’d love to see a video comparing these masks—budget vs premium, comfort, fit, visibility, how well they block dust, and if the extras like a microphone are worth it. Health matters on the job, and the right mask makes a big difference. Can’t wait to see the video in the future Ty.

on that hardwood test -- Osage Orange wood is NO JOKE. That stuff is one of the toughest woods in America, so those are some legit workouts for these tools - Once again your tests are not pulling any punches!

Dude could sell every wood scrap with a hot iron, homemade stamp of PF logo, and sell them for like 1$ and he could make MOREmoney 😂. Love the videos brother they are awesome. Like most of us, rely on your videos for an amazing perspective at many tools and oils. Much love 🤍
