micky 3,325 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I bought one a few weeks back and the amount of work they get through is amazing one charge is meant to give 100 cuts on 6 inch timber but less on this 16 inch tree that washed down this morning , I took some Rabbits to dress at the same time I cut the tree up and when I was done I took the saw and Rabbits home bagged the split logs up and took them to the shed when I returned for my knife , Axe , Wedge and chain Oil they were gone , aint there some Tinkers about ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,417 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've looked at them before they seem a handy bit of kit for a bit of off grid logging Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,252 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Nice garden. Cordless battery chainsaw sounds a weird idea, but probably very quiet in comparison to a 2 stroke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 21,321 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tinkers is the last thing I'd call the thieving b*****ds, put some feelers out. Get them sorted. Happy New Year and hope it goes better next year. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,005 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 If your serious about cutting wood it’s got to be sthil or husky really, it’s all about cost repairability and spares availability over a period of time, I still have a big old sthil I got second hand in the 80,S all spares still available over the counter, sorry to here of your loss worse of all in your own garden that’s a real pisser 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,490 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Can pick up husky 435 from PTE in Donny for £125+vat at the min, rate bargain! Out of interest Micky, how do you dress a rabbit with a chainsaw? That a river on your boundary? You get to fish it? Looks very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'd be surprised how many professional tree surgeons are using battery chainsaws now.Had 3 lads climbing and clearing a load of trees on a Gas site we were clearing a few weeks back and 2 of them swore by them although the other said he would never use one but he did have the biggest chainsaw ive ever seen and was walking around with just about every type of clip,buckle,axe,handsaw and anything else he could possibly use hanging off his harness and 3 belts.I think he secretly wanted to be one of them American loggers on Discovery. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the yanks use them for limbing as the are safer they also use the volt for felling they change the chain as it is a slow cutter and increase the bar length.

downsouth 7,143 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 The ones the lads were using were made by stihl.My boss is thinking about getting one as we do a lot of easment clearence where we go across country clearing anything over the high pressure gas lines ready for the gas company to to their 10year surveys.It would be a lot easier to carry a couple of spare batteries rather than petrol,no need to keep restarting saws and less likely to upset gamebirds or livestock/horses etc 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bearfoot 1,477 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) If your buying lithium snap on is best for power pack and unlike Debian it is a lifetime gauretee they replaced mine after 5years styill AR 2000 backpack very good last 8 hours Edited December 31, 2018 by Bearfoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
