best infomercial i ever watched. It rly helps that Adam is genuine excited about chainsaws - good one husqvarna marketing team 👌
Funny how the sponsorship wasnt out there before😂
It was subtle but I noticed
There is so much for you to explore with chainsaws sharpening alone is so interesting
Orange man bad.
Man, I don't even care that this is an ad. It's so clear Adam is having a ton of fun and that's just great to watch hahah
Appreciate that! Thank you!
100% agreed. It's not a shameless shill, it's a man having a blast and getting paid (at least that's how I figure it) so I'm all for it and I didn't know saws had gotten so technologically modern with auto tune capabilities and such. Fascinating stuff!
Great to see adam branching out
Take your upvote and leave!
Bravo.
Fine, take my upvote you fiend.
He really went out in a limb doing this video
I’m just going to leave now.
7:30 "Feeling awful about working at heights is good common sense."
I have worked at heights for a good part of my outdoor career, and this is the truest statement I have ever heard.
i learned long ago that anybody who is too comfortable with a dangerous job is usually the person who gets somebody else hurt.
We had a bucket truck at work for years. While I enjoyed working on it, I'm not cutout for it. It's not always the how high that got me, it's the wobbles. When the pole swings left and your bucket swings right, and oscillate at different rates, it really messes with my sense of motion and makes me nauseous.
The thing I didn't like about bucket trucks is if it did happen to tip or something there's a chance I might survive ..... once you get to a certain height where you know if you fall you won't have to worry about it anymore is relaxing @goosenotmaverick1156
@goosenotmaverick1156 the Jolt in a bucket is unnerving but predictable Now add in cracking and twisting but also the bending that you get in timber that you don't get from Steel ....
This is the kind of fully transparent ad I can get behind! The actual employees talking about the product, demonstrating their technique on video, going thru a range of products to showcase to the viewer what all is out there. I had a very disappointing tiny battery-powered chainsaw once, but these look properly beefy! Having been trained on gas ones and just terrified of spilling any gasoline on my clothes, I can tell you I am STOKED to one day buy a battery-powered one when I next need it. Hearing the loudness levels of both types in the same video really helps.
An educational ad, a fun field trip for Adam - what's not to like! :)
At one point I wanted to think "Why am I just watching an advertisement?" But then I thought, wait, this is almost like an episode of This Old House where they showcase some new technology, and I watched that for my whole life with no complaint. I actually really enjoyed it!
Wow, thanks so much.
Thank you! It means a lot!
Why are you terrified about spilling gas on you? I've logged many, MANY hours over the past 20+ years and spilling gas on me is probably # 188th on the list of items I'm most concerned about.
If you've been trained on gas saws... was that something you had problems with or what??
Just curious...
@@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH Cuz I don't know how to deal with it. I know enough first aid to clean a wound, compress a bruise, triage whether or not something is deserving of a hospital visit instead of a field-dressing. I know how to clean the parts of the chainsaw when it's disassembled. I dunno how to clean up a gas spill. Especially on clothes? All the washing machines I've ever seen in my life all say 'don't put clothes with gasoline spills on them in here, risk of explosion' so like - what could I even do? Throw it away?? Buy a new one?? I hate spending money on new clothes, and I pride myself on the self-sufficiency of repairing things, so. That's like 80% of why. Can't clean up oil spills.
the look of pure childhood bliss when adam got the leaf blower made my day
It went a bit Tim the Toolman right before he went full throttle.
That's joy personified.
I admit that I did a few Toolman grunts lol
@@xbill3k More power!
Me too!
If you pay attention to Tobias's body language and thought processes, that's an exceptionally smart, cool dude.
He's really into what he does, and it's great.
Yes, he's an old arborist - the best kind. To misquote a famous flying maxim - there are old arborists and bold arborists, but no old and bold arborists.
Used a chainsaw for a number of years. There is no substitute for thoughtful and caution where these tools are concerned.
The opening photo/footage made me want to say, “ get the felling dogs/spikes up close to the log, Adam”. (at about 14 mins. in, your Husqvarna host Tobias did this.) It’s true that when limbing, sawyers will swat at branches mid-bar and even close to the tip. (not on the actual tip though.) This removes the element of the saw pulling itself forward and possibly putting you off balance. Some guys just brace their arms and torso against that movement, ‘cause they do expect it; but if you place the dogs at the log it helps let the weight of the saw make the cut without fatiguing your arms from resisting that pull of the bar. (not necessarily burying the prongs though, unless you need leverage). If you “get a lot of chainsaw time in your daily schedule” --you’ll appreciate this and stay steady on your feet and safer working on uneven terrain. When Dan was showing you battery saws, you were sawing mid-bar (and letting saw drop down a lot when cut ended) while Dan was keeping the motor close to the log on his end.
Usually I shy away from this type of sponsored TH-cam video, but this one combines two things I love: chainsaws & Adam Savage.
Today is great day!
Happily it didn't actually _combine_ Adam with the chainsaw.
as an owner of a 440e, can confirm. Husqvarna is amazing. ProTip: spend the money on premix if you don’t use your two-cycle equipment frequently. the lack of ethanol and inclusion of stabilizers will not only treat your tools nicer, they will start on the first pull after months of storage and the carburetors do not gum up.
if you have a lot of cutting to do, find a station that sells ethanol-free gas and use that for your premix.
Next episode on Tested: "Hi, everybody. Adam Savage in my cave here, and today I'm building a grappling hook with this electric winch."
My first thought was that we're that much closer to a Batman grappling gun!
I bet you could make it significantly smaller by splitting the battery off from the winch mechanism; maybe having a battery pack on your belt and a wire that you can plug in, or even a wire that comes up into a specialized glove with metal leads that directly power the winch.
it feels more like a Jaimie thing though :D
This whole video is just an advertisement.
Duh, yeah...
Leave it to Adam Savage to turn a 30 min infomercial into an entertaining and informative video. Love it.
Seeing Adam with that leaf blower at the end was definitely the best thing out of this whole video. His energy and joy of things are a sight to see
This is a sharp departure from Adam's normal plugging of tools that he owns and loves, eg. the mini drill presses, and the like.
It reeks of promotion. It reeks of promotion for the sake of channel support. Almost 30 minutes of it.
My first thought for that was "Awww".
@@-danR Oh shut up.
@@-danR You know everyone has to work for a living and earn their money, grow their channel, increase the value of their investments, right? This video clearly states it is a paid promotion, so why did you continue to watch if you have a pathological hate of commercial endeavours. What I witnessed was a man doing what he passionately loves and getting a bonus for doing it. Plus the chainsaw utilising community gets to see a review and preview of some most highly rated products in the industry. What's not to like?
all of a sudden, I need one of each
We get it.
A lot of folks don't know about the inertia brake. Thanks for sharing what we do! Stay safe out there, brother!
Chainsaws revving brings back a lot of memories. Mostly of my dad yelling order at me. Fond memories. 😋
same !
I recently needed to do some quick weed-eating and thought about grabbing my gas trimmer, getting gas in it, all the priming, choking, pull start over and over, get it idling......
I ran up to the store and got a 40v battery powered trimmer. Now when I need to use it I just pick it up and squeeze the trigger.
Electrics are replacing gas everywhere.
yeah those electric trimmers are LEGIT! my mom got an electric mower too and it's very nice as well! there's pros and cons to each but they're so miniscule it won't matter to most ppl
I like that he is expanding out to chainsaws, they are a misunderstood tool in a lot of ways. He should go take the chainsaw class at West Valley College if he wants to learn more.
The whole time he was cutting, I kept yelling in my head for him to use the dogs rather than treating it like a handsaw
Same here! He was sawing as if using a handsaw, while Tobias & Dan were parking their saws close to the log and using the dogs. After years living in the Sierras, you’ll either get good at chainsaws or you’ll get tired, and eventually hurt. I don’t loan out my saws. One reason is it’s pretty hard to coach excited newbies gunning a saw as if they’re on a jet-ski.
Yes! I was always taught to snug saw up to limb and was waiting for the H people to step in.
Nerdddd
I used to work on the Appalachian Trail clearing downed timber and such. Nothing like a five mile hike with a chain saw.
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't teach him some basic technique.
Adam is one of my most cherished humans. His appreciation for the small things such as Husqvarna's team allowing him to use the scissor lift warms my heart.
Adams genuine enthusiasm really makes him an outstanding product demonstrator …Marketing Executives take notes, this was an effective presentation! Well Done!
Love seeing Adam have fun.
I have a Husqvarna 450II chainsaw and it has been serving me without any issue for 2 years now.
The last 5 seconds…
When I saw Adam smile, in my head there was ONE word:
KIDS! 😂
That was informative and good fun, an ideal promo video 😁. Adam must’ve so wanted to use that ascender and Batman up the tree though.
:D He held on to it and visibly went through the thought process: Can I hold it while going higher?
Adam is like a kid in a toy store. it is lovely to see. I wish all the viewers reading this gets to reach this level of enjoyment in their life.
As someone who uses Husqvarna daily. I got look of a kid in candy store on my face as this video starts ! So cool Adam! Much love
I absolutely love how Adam progressively gets more and more decked out in Husqvarna gear as the video progresses. 😂
First thought... ah hell this is a commercial! 29 min later, that was super interesting and now I want a damn new 350i.
Adam's Adventure in Chain Saw Wonderland. That was absolutely delightful.
hey you wanna watch a half hour long chainsaw commercial? it has adam savage for some reason.
IM IN!
Men will always be boys when machines goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRR 😎
I have very little interest in chainsaws...and this video was STILL a joy to watch, just for the pure fun you were having :)
it always cracks me up seeing people use a back and forth sawing motion with a chain saw! classic. rotfl. adam looked right at home with that blower. happy as a little kid!
He was trying out different parts of the blade and also feeling for that sweet spot. Also the rocking technique is what some use for getting through a denser part of the trunk, say the heartwood or a resin rich knot.
Once again, the only channel I'll watch a 30-60 minute advertisement on. Tested truly makes advertising a teaching tool and it's brilliant marketing.
*giggles* the look of pure enjoyment on adam's face as he runs around blasting saw dust and what not around lol
Like a kid in a god damned candy store. You love to see it.
Ive only used chain saws a few times but I totally understand Adams enthusiasm. Chainsaws are fun if yer not earning a days wages with one.
It must be a wild experience being the person to explain to adam savage something new
Adam should totally get that leafblower when it comes out and try to make a go-cart out of it!
The pure, unbridled glee when Adam gets to play with the giant leaf blower is absolutely perfect!!! That is a life.
Adam and Crew now you need to go handle a competition hot saw LOL
Adam, I have learned so much from you. If only this fantastic learning was available in high school...
Over the years, you have given me so much knowledge. I am forever grateful for you Mr Savage.
Adam giggling about an absurdly overpowered leaf blower really made my day 😆
The joy on Adam's face at the end is wonderful to see, like a kid at Christmas.
As someone who's already well invested in the Makita battery system, I'm entirely pleased with my Makita LXTx2 top handle saw. Its chain and bar and standard stuff that you can get any good hardware / OPE store. One thing's for sure, SHARPENING the chain is a skill to be mastered.
Heck yeah! I just added that saw to my own Makita collection! Perfect for those pesky widowmakers and monster hedges that get a drunk driver using them as a tunnel.
you can get a sharpener from harbor freight for like 50 bucks that makes it a lot easier
As a swede, I have to smile a little when Americans pronounce the word Husqvarna! 😁I guess the 'q' in the name is pronounced more like a 'k' in Swedish! I also live about 90 km from the original factory in Jönköping and my dad worked there in the mid 80s making sewing machines and other home appliances! 😛
The other part that really trips them up is the 'u', in English the sound is actually closer to 'oo', as in 'hoot'. Something like 'Hooskvarna' in English will be pretty close to the correct pronunciation.
I'm realizing that I'll watch Adam do about anything haha
Seeing Adam with the leaf blower makes me think there's a role waiting for him in the next Gosthbusters movie... 😄👍
“Lead on, apical bud!” - Jeff Spicoli
The most impressive thing about an arborist is that they know how trees will grow and respond! It is so humbling and impressive, yet probably 100% not known to most!
Husqvarna: Hey, would Adam come and film a 30-minute ad for us?
Tested: Well, maybe...
Husqvarna: We have the world's most powerful leaf blower.
Tested: We'll be right over.
Adam operating this winch remotely reminded me of this offshore drilling accident where the operator didn’t stop the winch and ended up pulling a guy through a hole much smaller than his body… I really hope that there is a safety mechanism to limit how much force this can pull.
What happened to him? That sounds awful
@@itcantrainallthetime9886exactly what you'd imagine. The story was hard to read
that would be tough as the load is constantly changing i guess you could still do it at the extreme to make it safe.
There is only so much you can do to protect people from their own stupidity. Can you believe that there are even people that get killed crossing the road? I even heard a story about a man crashing his car into another car, and that didn't end well either; Totally unbelievable, I know!
@@matiascamprubi-soms7719Fucking hell that's morbid.
Husqvarna for the win 😊
Cheers from Sweden!
Can’t believe that even with all his success and fame, Adam still posts videos that are Self-shot and Self-edited.
Adam does not edit videos; he just self shoots some in his cave. He did not self shoot this video (or edit), so not sure we understand your comment.
Yeah, that was hands down the best internet ad I've seen.
Best video ive watched in a long time. One of my favorite people learning about one of my favorite tools. I hope to see more videos of Adam using chainsaws.
You have to love a man who can giggle like a schoolboy over a leaf blower… lol
A lot of ads or sponsored videos I dont care for, but I really do love my Husqvarna chainsaw.
That ascender would be great for sailboat rigging work.
Or theater crew, construction/siding, electricians....
That ascender is basically a battery powered capstan winch and it could have several uses on a sailboat, if it can deal with the wet and salty environment.
Power winches for sailboats are stupid expensive, so any competition is welcome.
This was awesome to watch! It was great to see Adam having fun and geeking out about a new subject. Clearly a heavily sponsored video, but it was executed perfectly.
That leaf blower gives me Ghostbusters vibes
Adam with that leaf blower is such a giant kid.
I have a 44 rancher that the flywheel is date stamped 1973. Starts on the first pull, cuts way out its weight class. Love the saw
That rope climber tool CAN be used as part of ANY rescue teams. What a great use.
My heart skipped a beat when Adam pulled the bar tip inside the log at 24:02
He wasn’t really shown how to cut , better to have the saw up against the log , no sawing action needed !
Adam Savage with Husqvarna. Customer for life.
I want to enjoy anything in my life as much as Adam enjoys that leafblower.
I loved this kind of episode! keep them coming!!!
Look at that old man cut that log!! 15:42 happy Father’s Day Adam!! ❤
wait, so those chainsaws have Inertial Dampers?
very sci fi I love it. I want one now.
Bless you mate. The slowmo at the end capturing the pure joy in your face, that made my morning. I need more people like you in my life. Hell, the world does. Hugs to you and the team, and thanks for brightening up our day. With chainsaws!
seeing a 56yr old child running with a gleeful grim on his face as he air blasts a inch thick layer of sawdust off the floor was pretty dang wholesome
Seeing 68% of Sweden is forest (13-16th most forested country in the world by percentage, depending on source and if territories are included), it's quite reasonable that a company that makes chainsaws and other arborist/forestry tools comes from there. ^^ To be fair, they started out making rifles in 1689 though, and they've made a bunch of stuff since besides chainsaws. :)
My personal favs are my 585,my 562 Mk2, and my old assed 51. Love those orange saws!
As someone with great appreciation for right tool for the job I always enjoy seeing Mr. Savage radiate passion for them and what they can do :D
This is so cool; thanks, Adam for bringing to we!
Never skimp on safety when it comes to tools like Chainsaws.
The first time I hired a full sized chainsaw I was considering being tight, and saving a few quid by not renting the safety gear.
In the end I decided to go for it.
Later the same day whilst I was chopping up a tree, I had a huge kickback combined with a slip, and ended up smacking the chainsaw into my own shin at full speed.
I barely got a mark thanks to the safety gear.
Had I been wearing jeans I would probably have had to have my leg bones pinned back together.
Safety rules are written in blood.
I mean that little rope climber is nice for working, but imagine how amazing this is for rescue!!
I am a longtime user of Husqvarna Chainsaws and power equipment now and I never got any negative experience with their stuff... got myself 6 tools from their lineup, one gas powered chainsaw and 5 battery powered ones... even older ones... (but some of them are actually commercial grade tools) and I love working with this stuff... can't wait to get a hands on on their newer cordless cutoff saws but I guess the next thing I might try out is the new professional battery powered chainsaw they sell here in Austria as well... luckily we got a dealership in town... might check when the next trial days are here
thx for sharing your passion and fun with us Adam
28:14 The childlike joy in Adam's expression never fails to delight!
adam was so nice he even enjoyed the cleanup :D
Obviously Adam knows to be careful around machinery like this, but it's great to see his absolute joy when using them. He has not lost touch with his inner child!
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
The best part about battery tools is that they always start. Small 2 cycle engines tend to get finicky at certain temperatures.
Im living a few miles from Huskvarna town in sweden 🇸🇪
we love Husqvarna products the Electric are powerfull and great battery life.
So over covid we in SEQ got hit with the worst outages/storms in history so had thousands of trees down all over the roads- this was the best time of my life I learned all about chainsaws and got to use one DAILY FOR WEEKS, IT WAS SO COOL RAHH I LOVE CHAINSAWS OMG.Theres so much to learn about them, how they work, the differrent types, the oils, the strategies for tree lopping, the strategies for waste, SAFTEY OMG - it just has so many little places to go.
I love this for you adam!
I have an 1985 Husqvarna 50 Special and it runs like a sewing machine. Best saw I have ever owned!!
Husqvarna said we're gonna have you wear and use ALL our gear lmao
They're a legit company, and I trust Swedes to make good products, so I can't knock them too much, but man is this an ad for them lol
Well obviously, that's the whole reason videos like this get made. Advertising. The safety gear is probably a liability requirement. They're not going to suit him up in Stihl gear.
The apical bud is the type of bud located at the top (apex) of the plant, particularly at the very tip of the main stem. It represents the growth pinnacle of the plant. It determines the plant's growth habit and overall form.
Very true, but also; *On a branch* the main stem of the branch is further dominant over its own side twigs.
Adam, I am a Husky lover and it’s good to see you got on some great saws. Much love from N
Adam is loving work here lol. I have Stihl and Echo saws and hand held equipment for my business but this was still a fun video
First of all, I didn’t know anything about chainsaws, but I was curious about what Adam thought about it. I made the right choice to watch this video, even though it is sponsored.
The moment Adam screamed “3-2-1,” it felt like the Mythbusters vibe all over again. I bet many of us have those memories forever in our heads once we hear that.
When Tobias demonstrated how he works, his thoughts, and explained everything he is an expert in, it reminded me of the meaning of loving what you do.
Regardless of whether it was faked or staged (because it’s a sponsored video), I believe it was a genuine reaction from Adam, as we’ve known him for so long. I love his excitement, fun, and spirit when he learns something, and the satisfaction he gets after trying to cut something.
Keep in mind he is almost 60 years old and still has the enthusiasm for new things, which I want to learn and make my life motto as well.
Although some choose to settle down, chill, and relax during retirement, I choose to be like Adam, keeping the momentum and excitement throughout life.
As some of the comments here say, when Adam smiles, we see that he is still a kid at heart.
Okay, back to the product, marketing, and presentation. I love that their own guys explain and show the products. This shows the brand’s confidence, and you can feel they have good talents.
This reminds me that many companies only have a handful of people who really understand the products they sell. Some don’t even understand or, worse, misunderstand the products they are selling to customers.
The incorporation of Adam during the product showcase makes the sponsored video become infotainment, educational, and informative. This stays away from the traditional hard sell marketing that most of us don’t really love.
I hope more brands can switch to this approach for sponsored videos or even the normal commercials and ads that always bombard us on social media.
Lastly, although I will probably never buy a chainsaw in my life (because of where I currently live), the existing battery-powered model will stay on my list if needed.
battery powered chain-saws are Fantastic!! (depending on use case scenario's of course). as an example- i once told a friend who loves to go camping often in "the bush" (Australian Outback) that a small battery powered chain-saw would be perfect, he initially was not receptive to the idea but he got stuck on an overgrown trail with another vehicle behind him and the driver behind him him whipped out his battery powered chain-saw and within 5mins cleared the way and when they both camped for the day quickly cut fire-wood for the camp-fires, he bought one for himself within a month and now wouldn't leave civilization without it :)
OK. I had no idea I would be so fascinated by chainsaws. Well played Adam.
The 6 year old face of pure white-hot joy in the end made my day! Mr. Savage you are a treasure 😂
"Tool Time" with Adam
I could watch Adam learn about stuff all fuckin day!
I love seeing Adam’s glee and pure joy handling these tools! I was wondering though (as someone who has been to Huskvarna and knows how it’s said in Swedish), why do Americans add an extra a-sound after the q?
Of course, Adam would love a leaf blower, especially a backpack version. It’s a tool in the shape of a proton pack.
You really see the maker in Adam coming out when cutting with the saws, trying to slice and finesse the cuts instead of being in the power position and letting the saw do the work.
My house came with a 15 year old Stihl, I ran it for 20 years on top. The spikes was nearly smoothed off (was cast and integrated with metal covers). Heating half of the house with wood. The bugger just wouldn't die or fade. Just like he said, choke on, pull pull until first sign of ignition, choke off, the next pull had the saw running. I was longing to go shopping for a Husqvarna! Still do.
The UNBRIDLED glee on Adams face
