If you ever get sued to using one of the new generation battery powered chainsaws, nobody will be able to *give* you a gas powered chainsaw.

No yanking on a starter cord,...no messing with gas/oil mixture,...no gummed up carbs.

Just pick it up and pull the trigger, Set it down when you finish the cut. Pick it back up and pull the trigger when you need it again.

I've been using an Echo 58V cordless chainsaw for three years. I've lost track of the number of trees I've taken down with it. The largest had a 22" diameter trunk.

I don't think I can kill the Echo chainsaw. But if I ever do I'm going to buy a Stihl 220C cordless.
