As of today, I now have a chainsaw! It’s an EGO 16” battery (I don’t get along well with small engines). The battery polesaw just doesn’t cut it (no pun intended) on larger branches & I have 3 trees to take down as well. I’ve been wanting a chainsaw for a couple of years - hope this one works out.
Good luck to you! I let hubby handle the chainsaw, and I make sure he wears metal tipped boots. Our next door neighbor was only wearing sneakers once. He accidentally sliced where he shouldn’t have, and had to have surgery to correct that mistake. He’s all healed, as this is many years later, but yeah, sometimes you gotta learn from someone else’s mistakes. Just be careful.
I’ve got a small electric I’ve had for more than a few decades Works great, still can get chains and parts. We have long extension cords and I don’T use it far from the house Hubby has a big gas one. You’ll love yours.
I have a battery-powered Black & Decker chain saw. Of course, Beau LAUGHS at it, ‘Oh, I see you’re bringing out THE BIG GUNS, today!’) but it gets the fruit tree and small shrub pruning done that I need to do.
Also, I don’t have to be constantly fiddling with it. He’s always fixing SOMETHING with his array of chainsaws. But, it keeps him out of my hair, LOL!
You’ll love the convenience of it!
