Aled 475 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Evening All With the hunting life forum being the broad church it is i am wondering if anybody has any experience of using the small hand held electric chain saw for pruning cutting small logs kindlin etc? See picture below. This isn't the specific brand i'm looking at (open minded as to type) but they seem to get mixed reviews so any advice appreciated. Cheers.

TOMO 26,051 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I've got the makita one double battery job..not a bad little saw but I've only used it a few times 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aled 475 Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Thanks guys. I've got a larger chain saw for bigger stuff, looking for a smaller one to get into those smaller gaps where you need a bit of thinning to start things off. Cheers. Aled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wildman 486 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I have a dewalt battery powered reciprocating saw for small stuff works a treat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comanche 2,942 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 A couple of gardeners l know have them. No messing about with pull starts and petrol mix just to nip off a couple of little branches. They get in places a bow saw or loppers won't fit . A big plus is that like the rest of their battery powered kit ,it gets charged on the customer's electricity Being such a short chain and bar l would guess it does get some concentrated wear so keeping the cutters sharp is pretty important. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
