Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have a reciprocating saw which I used for my kindling. The crappy bits of wood I get for this doesn't justify a chainsaw as it's normally pallets and other stuff but a chainsaw would be handy every now and then. I borrowed my dads electric one adn found it not very good though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
