Indeed. I forgot that those also come in quiet electric-portable models. My chainsaw makes far too much noise.
I use the noisy chainsaw for the serious stuff, but I do have one of those battery models and it's a really handy little man's toy.
I haven't had the need to try to cut up the dam on the farm pond with it though.
'Course the farmpond dam isn't made of rubber and would seriously compromise any chainsaw that tackles it.. ;-)
A backhoe on the other hand..
