Abstract
A mechanism for reducing time-lost to tedious but necessary adjustments while using a chainsaw is disclosed, as well as methods of manufacture and use. An embodiment has a metal part fitting inside a plastic handle portion, where the two are sometimes assembled in two halves and then pressed molded or fastened together, in the form of a pull-handle positioned at the end of a starter-cord on a chainsaw. Another embodiment has the metal part containing a flat-blade screwdriver surface at one end, which matches and mates with some type of slotted adjustment fixture within the chainsaw; and where the other end has a socket wrench which matches up with an adjustment bolt within the chainsaw. Yet another embodiment has a dog-bone (socket) wrench fitting at one end, and a flat-blade at the other end.

A method of configuring a quick adjustment system for a chainsaw, comprising:
- positioning one or more chainsaw-related tools to be stored within a pull-handle thereby forming the quick adjustment system;
- wherein the pull-handle defines a pulling portion and a connecting portion to a cord of the chainsaw, wherein the pulling portion defines two opposite free ends;
- attaching the quick adjustment system to the chainsaw via the cord;
- wherein the quick adjustment system is a combination of a fixed-position non-foldable non-hinged wrench and a fixed-position non-foldable non-hinged screwdriver;
- wherein each of said one or more chainsaw-related tools is formed of a metal part fitted within a plastic pulling portion of the pull-handle:
- wherein each of said one or more chainsaw-related tools within the quick adjustment system is exposed from both said opposite ends of the pull-handle with the wrench extending out from one end and the screwdriver extending out from the other opposite end, such that each of said one or more chainsaw-related tools is accessible, available, and ready for use with no further manual moving to-from the storage position is necessary;
- and
- wherein the storage-position and the usage-position are the same.
