He was helping me pick a bar for a 24 inch Doug fir and swore the brake just slowed him down for 30 years. First back cut it pinched and kicked back hard enough to leave a bruise on my thigh, so the brake is staying on. Any of you ever actually run a saw without one on purpose, or was he just pulling my leg?
