OMG it's just so hard to start a gas chain saw and they're so noisy. It's like, such a terrible burden. Tell us you didn’t read the OP and thread, without telling us.

It’s worth it if you have property. Carrying batteries kinda sucks.

Gotta love an old AV... Mine is only a 32 (20" bar), but I swear that thing will run well on goat piss...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Bought Laura a couple of the Makita 36v saws (2x 18v battery)... she can't pull a gas saw very well.
For what they are (emergency stuff)... I must say I am impressed with Makita.
Test drove myself on a blown down pine... 10" or so at breast height. Bucked up the entire tree to 18s on one set of batteries.
I trust Makita.

I left my small gas Chainsaw in Arizona and had to trim my Palms so I went and got a Ryobi 8" Trim Saw.
because I already have the Batteries and Ryobi is not going to change the Batteries next year.
I trimmed (2) very Large Palm trees with 3/4 battery use.
It was slow going but you have to look at what it is.
The Ryobi worked real good for what it is and I think that I will use it when even a small chainsaw is to big for some stuff.
It Pisses me off when you purchase something and the company abandons it with a new model in a year or two.
Battery operated tools have become that way.
I have Dewalt 18V and I have to get after market batteries due to the fact that I do not want to replace my entier tool line when they change the Batteries.
Ryobi doesn't do that and when I need a Real hand tool I get the Pro Grade of what I am looking for and stay away from the home owner grade.
Sometimes you get what you pay for.

How was the chain after that episode? I threw a chain away every 5 minutes. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D230BNM
