My $700 chainsaw died after one storm cleanup in Ohio
Last Tuesday a big oak came down across my driveway and I grabbed my go-to saw for the job. Halfway through cutting the trunk it just seized up, smoke pouring out the clutch cover... turns out the oiler line had been clogged for who knows how long. I ended up renting a backup saw from the hardware store for $45 and finishing the job, but now I'm eyeballing a different brand with a metal oiler tube instead of that cheap plastic one. Anyone else have a saw die on them at the worst possible time, or am I just cursed?

Man, that's rough but I gotta disagree on it being the saw's fault. A clogged oiler line is on you to check, not the brand, and plastic oiler tubes are on most saws these days. $700 saws don't just quit if you keep up with basic upkeep.
