    Like a magic trick! Thank you so much for doing this video! I had to take my chainsaw into the shop to get the tech to fix it, after the chain came off the chainsaw and made 2 knots in itself that I could not untangle. NEXT time, this happens - I'll know what to do, thanks to you! 😉

    Damn dude... What a breath of fresh air to come across a video that is clear, concise, gets right to the point...and above all else...provides the solution to the stated problem. In some ways I was thinking this may be the quintessential "perfect" diy video on UA-cam. By this I mean, it certainly does everything listed above, but in addition, it handcuffs the malcontent viewer who finds fault in every video...the video quality is more than sufficient. The audio is of even higher quality, not to mention the soothing, dulcet tones of the anglican accent. Plus, there's no fat on this bone... There's only the bare essential information the viewer tuned in for. Well done. You don't have to sell me on subscribing, this video meritoriously earned my subscription.

    omg, I just spent over an hour trying to untangle my chain just yesterday as I live in South Carolina and I'm trying to do some cleanup after hurricane Helene. The four letter words coming out of my mouth was even making myself blush. I was so frustrated and mad I just threw everything back in the box and decided I'd ask the guy next door do it for me as I'm a female and just couldn't figure it out. I never knew it was this easy. Thank you times infinity. You have no idea how much this has helped me. Thank you so much and be blessed.
