I was known to use one for just a cut or two - quicker than running out an extension cord.
Even in the 80's & 90's. I knew many who could NOT cut straight, to save their lives. (Some even with a circular saw)
When is the last time you saw a saw sharpening shop?
Do sharpening services even exist anymore?
I haven't seen on in a long time. There is a guy around here that will sharpen chainsaw chains but I'm pretty good myself so I sharpen my own chains. The same with circular saw blades. I bought a cheap harbor freight sharpener and it works wonderful. The blades I was throwing away a 10 years ago now just get resharpened.
