Now at my age and health I'm looking to make my life easier. I do not do large projects around here, so about the only thing I need a chain saw for is taking care of a tree/branch that falls and blocks my driveway. Any serious tree work my son helps me or if a big job I hire a local contractor, up here where I live there are plenty. 
I'm thinking of giving the saw to my son and get a battery powered for as described above. Other than being much easier to start I do not have to worry about gas going bad either. |
I'm 68 with moderate Rheumatoid Arthritis. It seems to be under control with weekly Enbrel pen shots but I have to watch what I'm doing. I installed all new cabinets in the kitchen. Kind of got to plan ahead a bit.
Had one of those flat dolly's with casters on the bottom from Harbor freight to move them around. Borrowed some cabinet jacks. Sent pics to my son who said wtf are you doing and who helped? Well, nobody with the right equipment.
Only chainsaw I ever owned was a Poulan years ago. If I were to get one with a Battery, I would get a warranty with it or this idea.
