A bag of shite when you're used to a good quality petrol machine. Bill well yes. My shoulders are aching from this afternoons efforts to chop up a 10 metre tall tree that fell over last year. The thickest part of the trunk - that I have yet to tackle - is about 2' diameter. My little chainsaw - petrol - is having trouble with the 8" diameter sections. I guess its around 1500W equivalent. Don't give up. I didn't. http://vps.templar.co.uk/index.php?album=Garden First picture taken at 11:12 am. Last picture at around 13:12 pm. Two resharpens, four tanks of petrol, and almost 2 hours of continuous cutting. 150 meters down the garden so forget mains power, and really unless I had 4 batteries ready charged, more than I could do with a battery one. Batteries may work for occasional hobby use, but some of us have MAN SIZED TREES. There are differences between the original chain, and some third party replacements. I found my saw worked better with the second chain on it. I would never have guessed there would be a difference, as visually "a chain is a chain", right ? Sharpening is te key. I need a new file now ... ** Paul -- “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.” – H. L. Mencken |
