The 20v Dewalt is basically a one-handed saw; great for smallish branches or trees.

Modern gas equipment is sealed, so no stink, unless you don't maintain them. Plus TruFuel volatizes much less than regular gasoline.

I have a suite of 20v Dewalt tools; drill, 1/4" impact driver, 3/8" impact driver, drywall sander, 6-1/4" saw, weed eater, leaf blower, angle grinder, random orbital sander, 9" paint polisher.... And a heated jacket.

I have no intention of having a second battery system.

I credit him with the sawzall idea. I have used it for that in the past but not with the tree specific blades. I will pick up a few soon.

As of today, I have no use for a chainsaw, but when I do, I know that Stihl is the way to go.

Hell, they don't even go outside. Just sit on their asses banging away at the keyboard, trying to find fault with productive folk.

Based on their extensive lack of content, you are likely correct-a-mundo.

Aside from the weight advantage the Echo has this guide in case the chain comes off, and unlike the Stihl, is replaceable.

As of today, I have no use for a P-51 Mustang, but when I do, I'm going to buy one that was built by North American.

I made a wood holder to hang it on the wall out of the way. Blade up, so the gas and oil fills are less likely to leak.

Nice job. Looking at your Porsche box, check that wix filter to see where it's made. Some of their stuff is made in China now.
