Third time using that new concrete saw and the blade guard just snapped clean off
Was on a job out in Arlington yesterday, cutting expansion joints on a parking lot repour. About halfway through the second cut, heard this loud crack and saw the guard fly off into the dirt. No warning, no weird vibration before it happened. The saw is only 2 months old. Called the rental place and they said it's a known issue with that model but didn't tell me upfront. Now I'm out half a day waiting for a replacement. Anyone else run into guard failures on those newer St*** models?

Knew it was coming, those guards feel flimsier every year.

You ever try to bend one of those thin metal guard rails with your hands? I did once at a rest stop and it barely flexed. But my buddy's fence snapped clean off his truck when a shopping cart rolled into it last month. Maybe the new ones are just painted to look sturdy.
