Any of you use a Dremel to sharpen your chain saw?

I've just been using a good old round file, but I saw a video claiming a special Dremel jig is faster and better.

Has anyone had any luck with the Flextail Tiny Repeller? I just tried one for a couple of nights, and found it to be almost useless.

I've been using a Thermacell Backpacker for years and have found it to be highly effective. I just bought the Flextail thinking having a rechargeable electric would be better than butane. I used it for two evenings in camp in zero wind, and found it to be almost useless in repelling mosquitoes.

I recently bought a product online from Flextail. When I got to the payment page, it asked me whether I'd like to tip the staff, as if I were in a restaurant.

This tipping shit has gotten ridiculous. If they're not paying their employees enough, it's on Flextail to raise their wages. For this reason alone, I doubt I'll ever buy a product from Flextail again.
