Best Grinder Chainsaw EVER! Electric Chainsaw!

Neat gadget. My wife got me a little battery operated chainsaw for Christmas last year. It works, but I find that a reciprocating saw with a wood cutting blade works better. For serious chainsaw work, the Stihl Farm Boss comes out.

I have an electric one on a pole, a Remington 8", kind of heavy at the end when you extend it so you have to hang on when you finish the cut, my other one is gas, a Craftsman and it can sit there for a whole year and starts every time. I don't like battery garden tools, everything I have is gas. My neighbor bought an electric lawnmower, biggest piece of crap I've ever seen, he took it back.

Wife just bought a Stihl battery powered lawnmower for her other house. Since it is her or her sister using it, I don't have to worry about going down and servicing it for them. Hopefully, it'll work out well.

After 3 years of heavy use, I finally got my Stihl Farm Boss serviced. Cost me $45 at a local small engine repair shop. Money well spent.

This chainsaw has saved me thousands of dollars. It's the first "good" chainsaw I've ever owned.

heck about the only thing that goes wrong on those smalll engines is the carburetor or the fuel line, you can get those online and replace them yourself for just a few dollars.

For me Stihl.

Was fun going to the Loggers competitions in Vermont and watching all those guys competing. The fight was on between the Stihl guys and the Husqvarna boys.
