CHOPPIN' AND SAWIN'

A bit of an update on the cheap chainsaws. The Hawksmore petrol and the Dewalt flexvolt and Katsu battery saw.

Hello George I will stay with my stihl good to see abit of firewood cutting and it also gave the lady a run keep her battery charged cracking video look forward to the next one 👍👍

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers Ray👍

Can't beat a good bit of saw action! Glad the Hawksmore has broken in and starts easier now. At the printers where I work, my boss brings in his STIHL MS211 saw & STIHL HS45 hedgetrimmer once a year and we go to town on the various trees and shrubbery in the yard, its really great fun! A guy today was taking some of our scrap pallets and had a little Dewalt electric pruning saw to cut them up to fit in his transit. Tiny thing but worked fine for pallet wood. Very much appreciate this update, more logging/saw content in the future please.

Great video George loads of firewood for the winter😊🚜👍

[@fredharrowven1040]

Good Evening George, I liked the demo on the chainsaw I think if I was to go and get one it would have to be petrol , Nice video thanks George, Take care of yourself and stay safe,🚜⭐️👍👌🎅🤶🎄

Those electric chainsaws on a pole are VERY handy. Keeps you off a ladder and they can reach into a thorn brier when needed. Also, when I saw that pile of logs I immediately thought of my bow chainsaw. Saves my back because you stand upright and let the saw cut straight down. Plunge cuts. The weight of the bow saw does all the work. ✌

EGO makes a good battery saw. I have a couple and an MS261, I find myself using the EGO the most.

[@RICHIE87622]

I have a few different saws including an old 1989 husky 268 xp, it weighs a ton but can cut through hard wood like no bodies business when the chains had a tickle! Thanks George. 👍

[@sandymcghee3328]

Another great video George 👍👍👍👍

[@gunton21]

Great comparison george, stihl petrol for me every time, battery great if you want to keep neighbour's happy with less noise. 😊

[@iancroot1388]

Great little video George, as with most things in life you get what you pay for.

[@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK]

We've just got the milwaukee battery saw it arrived today and we have been putting it through its paces this afternoon. It is certainly easier than messing with stale fuel etc.

[@kenrobinson9989]

Hi George, another great video. But I liked the sticker still on your Safety Glasses lol. Regards Ken

[@mikeroutledge6929]

When you start cutting on the curve ,one side of the chain is sharper than the other, similar results if the bar is worn but most likely chain

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks George loved that.... Take care sir...

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff George and Richard👌👍🙏🙂

[@mattstevens8210]

Thanks for that, George. I know what sort to buy now.👍

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers Matt, glad you know what saw you need, what are you going for?👍

[@mattstevens8210]

Still petrol, do you think that’s a good choice?

[@Darrenws111]

Great video George fabulous superduper video enjoyed very minute of it 👍

[@deanward2889]

Brilliant video mate

Have a Parkside electric chainsaw. Dad uses it on this very rural school bus run to maintain the hedge and protect this mirror. Doesn't wake-up or draw attention of anyone 😂

[@Gearoid35]

Them battery saws are all right for light work, I love my husqvarna 365

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Never used a husky, I need to try one I think 👍

[@Gearoid35]

@GeorgeSaunders definitely

[@rogerspeed4413]

@@GeorgeSaunders Husky definitely the best saw, you need a lesson in sharpening yours though, I think, should cut better than that.

[@FouchieBob203.5]

George, wear your PPE mate. Safety first. 👍

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video George 👍 you should have used the Katsu for as much work as you could and got a new one every 6 months under warranty 🤔🤣🤣👍

[@caffrey9762]

Nice saws, I use a handsaw & axe, it's not a big stove. 4inch is the diameter of the biggest branches I'd be cutting. 2 years stacked of the ground ( outside) & in lengths & it's good ta go. Ash & white thorn.

[@svengranzow3702]

Hallo george Nice Film from saw for making firewood

[@AndyJ5431]

Both the DeWalt and Katsu look like they have either a skip chain or semi skip chain which would go some way to explain their poor performance, unlike the Stihl with a full house chain. Battery saws are best kept for occasional use, and not a replacement for a petrol saw. Good comparison of the saws none the less. 🇬🇧🚜👍

[@DJC995]

Hi George Nice one Thanks again

[@mikeroutledge6929]

the battery stihl chainsaws are superb, long battery run time

[@MalcTyler]

We have got a battery lawnmower with 3 batteries with lunch break can go all day light quiet press and go bright 😂

[@farmerlamb2372]

Chain brake is originally designed to stop the chain whilst a 2 stroke is idling

[@MalcTyler]

I think that katsu would be in the hedge 😂

[@GeorgeSaunders]

😂😂😂

[@jonathanslade2358]

I wouldn't want my throat cut with that Katsu!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

I don't blame you!

[@The_Incredible_Bulk1962]

Bugger me, George...that Katsu is a quality piece of kit...I bet the guy who sold you that couldn't take your money quick enough!!!😂😂😂😂

[@GeorgeSaunders]

All the quality 👌👌👌😂

[@Shaunalexander.99]

Stihl always for chainsaw George.

[@LouBailey-r5f]

husqvana 450 and 254 xp old school for me been cutting and felling trees for firewood for many years not a fan of battery saws ok if you only want to work part of the day

[@patrickhathaway6178]

I get nervous when you use the chainsaws without good ppe - chainsaw chaps, steel toed boots instead of rubber wellies. I enjoy your videos and don't want you chopping bits off!!!

[@robertsedgwick1629]

take the sticker off your glasses it's making my OCD twitch! 😱

[@GeorgeSaunders]

😂😂😂

[@jontaylor7410]

Saws are blunt

[@Countrystock]

We all know what you were thinking George.....🐱💩

[@michellemorris8049]

Take the sticker off your glasses George

[@raymondrobinson4047]

No patience for any battery saw......way too expensive, mega slow and batteries will only cycle so long until the micro computer in them tells them to stop, then buy more.....useless!

[@michaelslinn7472]

katsu sounds and looks dangerous, bit of rubbish.
