I bone out deer with a filet knife. Using the method in this video. Fun fact I worked with that guys brother for a few years and was at lunch with him talking about it but had never made the connection it was his brother. We used chainsaws to split cows in half.

Picked these up throughout the week. Got tired of hauling heavier stuff in and out for punch list 1 year warranty homeowner work. first Milwaukee power tool purchase, have the dewalt 20/60 volt lineup in the truck though for when im not doing punch list work.
It wont be your last!
This is almost always my situation as well(cattle ranches with logging and other access roads). Skinning shed with gambrels and running water.skin and gut deer,then hang for at least a day.then go into the walk in to cure some more.
Sometimes I'll gut in the field to save weight dragging. Or if its really rough terrain I'll skin one side at a time removing backstraps and legs to put in a backpack
I was quite impressed I was able to hammer drill four 3/8 x 4" deep holes into concrete to install lags for a ac condensing unit support bracket though it wasn't too happy drilling six 1/4" holes for redheads into the egress wall for the fire escape ladder the following day. Driver and drill are perfect for the piddly inside work im doing though as i was curious what it was capable of overall.. good in a pinch if you need to but not the best choice.
just need to wait for the Stanley black and decker dewalts to either fail or require new batteries.. and at either point new tool combos generally have decent "free batteries" to force the changeover to a new brand/line.

Picked up 2 linesman pliers yesterday at the 80+ yr old neighbors yard sale for $5. I sorta collect utica tool when I see them.. but I still use them for what they are intended for. light surface rust but no evidence of use and abuse, ie. used for a hammer, cutting surfaces aren't chipped and they both have tight hinges without slop. I have a couple other linesman pliers already but I can never find them when I need them 
soaked them in evaporust overnight and determined they must have snuck out of Dow Chemical in someones pocket at some point.

Or they were owned by Beaver’s brother?
judging on the ability to throw a rock from here and hit dow chemical id say it wasn't leave it to beavers
Vevor bearing puller works sofa king much better than a regular bearing puller on carrier and pinion bearings.
Worth every penny.
also picked up a 20 ton press for the price of a 12 ton cause Harbor Rape was out of 12 ton units.

I love new tool day, I just picked up one of these for trail days
Good Lord, Milwaukee. Can't you afford "a real" (see what I did there?) copy editor? It's "aerial", you morons! At the rate we're seeing our language slaughtered by texting mentality, we soon will not be able to communicate by written word. And I'm being serious.
And to stay on topic, I love me a top-handle arborist saw, but I'm a two-stroke guy. The sound and smell of my MS201T fuels my soul...

But I don't have to carry fuel for my milwaukee chainsaw
But for an investment of $20 in a 5 gallon gas can, $8 in two-stroke oil, and $18 in gas, for a grand total of $46, I can run my saw every day, without waiting for a battery to charge, for about three weeks. To do that with an M18 saw, how many batteries would you have to carry?
For a trail day, I would typically fill my 10.5oz tank three times. If I leave with the tank full, all I need to carry is a bit over a half-quart of pre-mix. We're both carrying bar oil, so we already have to deal with a container full of mess. One more ain't no big deal. And if you ever compare that saw to an MS201T (I did just that last summer on a trip to Buena Vista), you'd be surprised. That MS201T used to be my only saw (first real saw I bought), and it will buck 20" elm all day long.
That said, you can't beat the price and convenience of that Milwaukee. I just want a real saw in my hands.
Is your rubber overmolding cracking on the sides? Mine spent a very hot summer cutting 4" and 6" PVC pipe in dirt trenches, and it's cracking. I've thought about taking advantage of Milwaukee's 5 year warranty to get it fixed/replaced while I still can...
