Maintaining chainsaw is pain in the ass. I have a petrol one for trees, and a small 36v for carpentry (clean dry wood so less maintenance) , it's the best compromise for me.
@vkuscak3 жыл бұрын
@@perrinekld7451 so true. Electric chainsaw is less maintenance on the motor side (none with electric ones), but then you have to use cables, which is not an issue arround the workshop, but it's a pain in the ass to lay down 50 meters of extension cable when you work on the far end of the garden. Also electrics are heavy like damn bricks. The power output is almost the same with hobby-class gasoline saws but god, the electrics are heavy AF.
@statelinesenthusiast77932 жыл бұрын
I wish I’d heard of this before I bought the chainsaw. The chain kept falling off no matter what I did. Ended up giving it to my gardener for free. This is all I would have needed for cutting through a thick root that was beyond the scope of the heavier cutting shears
@keith6400 Жыл бұрын
Chainsaws generally need two hands and a firm safe two feet stance because of kickback. Reciprocating saws do not have the same kickback issue so safer up a ladder.
