I WOULD GO TO E-BAY AND CHECK THERE CHAIN SAWS.. YOU DON'T NEED A BIG ONE
AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF GOOD DEALS ON THERE. I MYSELF OWN A STIHL CHAIN SAW
AND WOULD NOT ANY OTHER BRAND . STIHL IS RATED THE BEST IN CONSUMER REPORTS.
BUT ECHO IS RATED VERY GOOD ALSO AND YOU CAN PICK THEM UP ON E-BAY VERY
CHEAP AND THEY RUN VERY GOOD..

I want to get a chainsaw for yard cleanip, but I don't have a lot of
money. In fact, I have *no* money, but I do have a WalMart gift card.
The cheapest model they have is a Remington electric. They also have
some Poulan and Snapper gas models for twice the price. What I want to
do is prune some severely overgrown bushes and trees with max.
trunk/branch diameter of 3" or so.

Any thoughts on advantages/dis- for gas and electric? I'm not looking
to cut down mighty oaks. I could do most of the work with a bow saw,
but there's a *lot* to be done and my arm gets very tired after one
cut.
