My old electric chainsaw has finally given up, beyond repair.
It was very heavy to use so no great loss.
Which would be lighter, an electric or petrol replacement ? Just need a
smallish one .14/16 ins will do. Not used a lot but it makes life much
easier. UK resident.

They weigh about the same but with electic you need to consider the
electric cord is cumbersome and add the weight of any extention cord
and the drag it places when moving about... however it's really a no
brainer, petrol is superior in power and portability.


Some electric chainsaws don't require a cord ..

Yes, that's another good thing. Just a safety lever and trigger deadman type switch.
