Best chainsaw storage case

I keep all of my chainsaws in OEM cases, precisely because of the oil leaking issue. Otherwise I end up with an oil slick in the back of the pickup or trailer. As someone mentioned above, put an absorbent rag under the saw and change it out as needed.

Why use a case? I just put my scabard on the bar for transport or storage and leave it at that. If I'm worried about oil leaking, I set it on top of an old grain bag.

Cases cost $450!!! :eek: There's no #%&-ing way I'd ever spend ....ooohhhh!....I see what you did there! :D:laughing:
You got me.

Hey, I put a smiley in!

I don't have pictures but I've a couple of scabbards that are basically just a bar length of firehose. Bar length because presently I have bars ranging from 8 inches to 42 inches, and I'm looking for a 72".

That must be photo shopped! That clean saw and even cleaner case. My cases had a lake of bar oil on the bottom. Now that the sting of paying good money for useless junk has probably passed, my Stihl cases will probably just help to start a brush pile fire.

I just keep the saws parked on their side, which seems to conserve at least some bar oil!

My Rancher leaks badly. The factory case will not contain the oil.

I plan to build a case with a drain pan.....someday...lol

I have three saws and none in a case. :ashamed: One came with a case but who knows what happened to that one... and the chain files too? Wanting to mount one of my saws on my tractor but that project seems to keep getting moved down on the priority list.

My case on my tractor is in located in two places... first is the FEL bucket... and yes I have scooped up debris and dumped my saw in the pile of dirt more than once. I don't claim to be ADD but I do switch from one task to another on the fly without thought. The other spot that is getting more attention due to the aforementioned... is nestled in the controls of my backhoe. Don't ask... it seems to work.

Nope- no photo shop.
Just a good case of being in the right place at the right time.

That saw was owned by someone (about a 40yr old guy) that that lived about 2 miles from Tyson's corner, Va. A very dense suburb. He had about a 1/4 acre lot densely wooded. The story goes that he had a black walnut tree die and he knew the lumber was valuable and he figured he could use a CSM and get some VALUABLE lumber. So he bought a new 088, Alaskan Mark II, bar etc. sometime after the 880 came out. He milled that one tree and an oak. He had a 1+ car garage that was basically stacked with stickered wood in 2 inch to 3 inch slabs that had been drying for several years. (I almost bought the wood also).
Apparently his plan had been to move to a more rural area, big barn, etc. and start woodworking. (hence the fairly nice cases)
Then the triple whammy.
The economy took a nosedive so he couldn't sell and move.
A few winters passed.
His wife wanted the #@$% garage back.

He posted it on CL one night, I saw it after it had been up for several hours and I was the third caller in line to buy it. And the first two didn't show up in time.
He had complete paperwork along with a recent bill for a tuneup. When I got there the saw was cold, so I do the full choke, pull, pull, pop, half choke, pull ROAR routine, it fired right up.

Other than a trophy I have yet to find a big tree for it. The small sub 30" DBH trees I've been removing come down fine with my 660's.

I only use a saw on an irregular basis. It could sit for months not being used. And I have half a dozen saws or so. It irks me to spend more money in bar oil to leakage than I use, by a large margin.

I hate boxes myself and give them to folks for free with saws if they want them. If not with a saw I sell them 10-20.

Best ones IMO is the orange husky box or the black poulan box just like the husky box IMO.

Now if traveling I use this to throw saws in. Have had a 066 372 5000 084 in there before with short bars or with bars off if longer.
