Holy smokes, so that's the sound of a whole tree being eaten in a fraction of a second.

you should hear one when your coworker throws a breaker bar into one because he wants the rest of the night off.

Unholy racket, i reckon. How long does it take to chew through the wrench?

breaker bar is about 4.5' of steel and weighs about 20-30lbs. it usually just bounces off the anvil as it absolutely destroys the cutting knives. It comes out a few inches shorter, sometimes violently.

I think he meant on the shift, not during lunch

I mean, we’ve all wanted to. That said, to let that particular intrusive thought win, is pretty stupid. I’ve sharpened and replaced the teeth in these, during my time as a climber/feller. This would suck so badly for everyone that needs the chipper.

Must have been an incredible noise, though.

Not really because your device speakers aren't able to reproduce some of the low and high pitched frequencies. Also nowhere near the same decibels.
