Electric saws are definitely handy! I have a small gas chainsaw but it's always a hassle to get it running, keep it running, keep it clean and maintained, etc.

20 years ago I needed a saw. I bougt a corded one on sale at Sears for $39. It was the biggest one they had. I used it tor maintenance around my old Victorian house. Now @77 my grandson has it. It never failed me. But then I wasn't doing lumber jack work.

[@gardenfork]

Excellent! :)

[@civicfreik]

I bought a cordless saw not long ago and used it today for the first time. It works awesome for small tree clean up

[@gardenfork]

And the batteries work very well these days.

[@civicfreik]

@@gardenfork They sure do. I was impressed how long the battery lasted

[@cejkwo100]

I have the ego 16” chainsaw and love it

[@gardenfork]

That is a nice machine as well!

[@titanlurch]

I'm even seeing professional tree guys using battery electric chainsaws. I just bought a corded saw for around the yard .So much better smelling too.

[@gardenfork]

yes, no 2 cycle gas :)

I use a battery powered Sawzall, personally. Milwaukee (and others) make a pruning blade called “The Ugly” that makes short work outta most limbs. Quieter than a chainsaw, gas or electric. I gave my Stihl to my young friend handyman/soil scientist - I’m too old to be handling that stuff, even though I used to lend it to my dad when I was younger. (And always had nightmares of him cutting his leg off!)

[@gardenfork]

perfect! i have a similar blade for corded recip saw :) Eric.

[@clarewhite8377]

I have added this to my spring cleanup shopping list.

[@gardenfork]

It's a good machine. I love my gas saws, but you don't always need one either.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

We are healthily and energetically excited about hearing about battery powered equipment!

[@gardenfork]

This saw is quite good, I only have one battery and haven't had an issue yet.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@gardenfork I have two chainsaws that I use maybe once a year. One is a pole saw and the other has a normal grip. They're both corded. I got them years ago when batteries weren't as good as they are now. They are fine for occasional, minimal use.

[@JBLewis]

I'm pretty well invested in the Makita ecosystem, and when I needed to do a cleanup, I bought myself a Makita LXTx2 chainsaw. It uses a standard narrow chain, can take a standard Oregon replacement bar. It just has an electric motor instead of an 0.30cc gas engine. It's a perfectly capable small saw for someone who uses a chainsaw just once or twice a year, and has no other 2-stroke gas power equipment.

[@gardenfork]

Good to hear. I want to buy a few spare chains for this one, haven't looked to see how available they are. thx!

[@kentboyer5628]

Since some recent medical issues i have had ro shelve my multiple Sihl gas chainsaws. After listening to you and Will i have been using a Dewalt battery saw and for 90% of my needs it works well. I tried Oregon but am invested in Dewalt universe.

[@donnalyttle7475]

That would be great for a camping trip. Makes a necessary job easier. We love your puppers too. Thanks Donna from NC

[@gardenfork]

Thanks Donna!

Thanks Monica! - Eric.

[@monicareid8858]

I LOVE my little electric chainsaw!

[@gardenfork]

they are good :)

[@VintageNaehmaschinen]

If got a Stihl Gas Saw an a little Gardena telescop e-chainsaw. The combination is the clou.

[@gardenfork]

perfect. I have two Stihl saws.

[@doalex2085]

Your pups 🐶 are the best;! I believe that is why I subscribe;!🤣

[@gardenfork]

Yeah!

[@shervin6711]

I appreciate links to safety gear. Just started with a much smaller one. Would love a source of advice of care, maintenance, etc.

[@gardenfork]

if it has an oil resivior be sure to use chainsaw oil, not regular oil . and buy a spare chain, keep the chain from hitting any dirt or rocks, it will ruin the chain. :) Eric

[@shervin6711]

@@gardenfork thank you!

[@FabAcres-Blackcat]

My wife’s boyfriend told me the same thing.

[@doalex2085]

Safety gear noted;!🤣

[@gardenfork]

I almost cut into my thigh once. because i was wearing chaps, i didn't. :)

[@dannydunnagan3267]

I like the saw I have only Dewalt tools.

[@gardenfork]

This has worked well for me. and I don't have a big battery for it, i've never run out of power

[@tesoro2250]

DeWalt has nice tools I'm a Makita guy myself.

[@flyod26]

How do you sharpen the chain? I've always struggled with keeping a chain sharp.

[@gardenfork]

i buy two spares and take them to the local lawnmower chainsaw shop for sharpening

[@JAES1]

Great saw and super happy with it\;]

[@gardenfork]

yes, same here!

[@kevinwinlass6864]

Plastic shroud, plastic on handle. You don't give a freaking flip how much plastic you inflict on the environment.

[@miasgirls3778]

❤❤❤

[@gardenfork]

thx! :)

[@mr1pearl]

I think its the doggies that made the job go so much easier not the chain saw 🙂

[@gardenfork]

exactly!
