No the abrasives will dull it as well. Also the chemicals in fish detergent will over a long time negatively impact the finish of stainless steel.

Great for washing your kitchen floor afterwards though!

Well, I now want a possessed chair in my house too.

For home use, the 260 or 261 is overkill. I think it comes down to the MS251 or MS291 (or MS250 and 290). 45cc or 55cc, 40cm bar or 45cm bar... Should hold both and decide. If you want to fell any serious trees, the MS291 is a far better choice. If you'll cut branches, the 250 is lighter and some 100$ cheaper.
BTW the last number is 0, 1 or 2. It just tells the generation, but in general you can expect about the same performance out of a stihl with the same first two numbers (like, the difference between an MS360 or MS361 or MS362 is negligible, and the 90's predecessor was the Stihl 036 which is also kind of the same). Today, I think the MS171 is a bit more powerful than the 170 but if you can get a better deal for the older version, it's still a great saw...

Bread hooks? Like the one from my kitchen aid mixer that I always run through the dishwasher. Oops. How do you tell is something is aluminum?

> That’s the second version of the model. The previous one had a fuel and oil cap that needed to be opened with a tool.
I have a 039 and have only had to use a tool handful of times. Since the 90's maybe 5 or 6 times. TBH I prefer the old style (which practically all other brands still use), the caps are the only things that mildly annoy me with my MS361. Sometimes they just don't seal correctly and the holes are recessed so sawdust can fall in the tank when you open it.

What is the alternative? Phones are needed, unfortunately

Things made from aluminium, most commonly used for baking tins, bread hooks and garlic presses.

Mechanic keyboards can also easily get washed in a dishwasher

>I hate our stainless because they are so hard to hand wash. What's your secret?
Scrub with warm water on medium heat. For really caked on stuff, just heat some white vinegar and scrub. It will take anything off.

WOW now that is something. Stuff like that is exactly why I enjoy working on my own cars, but would absolutely never consider becoming a mechanic.

This isn't the best designed of these old chairs I've seen. But still a good long lasting chair. I'd throw a cushion on it and it'd be great.
I've sat in some old wood courtroom chairs that were all wood with no cushion but designed so well it was like sitting on a cloud. Didn't feel like wood at all.

Yep, I hand washed my dishes for about 20 years. Lol. Had drying racks and everything. Now, it’s funny…even though I have a dishwasher, the good stuff never goes in it.

Steel wool? Scraper? I like stainless cause I don't have to be gentle with it. But I also don't care how my pans looks, just how they function.

I have one that we found somewhere. It's heavy, solid wood. It looks like someone cut off the table part and kept the chair. There's a shelf below the seat, so I'm fairly certain it's an old school desk. I bet it outlives me

Newer machines may have the bread hooks made from other materials or coated with something. I had an old inhearited kenwood chef from the 70s that had an aluminum hook.
Aluminum is pale and matte compared to stainless steel, and it can have a chemical reaction and come out of the dishwasher weirdly discoloured.
