You say electric chain saws are for "much less work". Obviously you
have never seen a Stihl electric chain saw. They aren't cheap $650.
But they have more torque than any gas saw on the market. Stihl even
warns on the web site that this puppy will eat through your chain saw
chaps without slowing down. It'll eat through wood without slowing
down too.

If you have a relative small yard, one that can be covered with 100'

putting oil in the gas and trying to get the dumb thing started. You
have laid out the cord, cut up what what you want and have every
thing put away.

Fancy gas saws - that's funny. You probably don't want to stand side by
side with one of those fancy gas saws, with your electric. Gas saws serve a
purpose - lots of real work. Electric saws serve a purpose - much less
work. Both have their place.
