My 2-decade old Remington chainsaw nearly bit the dust last week when
I let a rental worker (needed an extra body for digging out those
pampas grass clusters) use it. It had been cracked already, but the
bar and chain now bounce around a 7" arc at the tip. It still works,
and I cut down 2 dozen hedge trunks with it, but it's on its last leg.
Hmm, what to replace it with...maybe a chainsaw-on-a-pole.

Ummmmm... hey Larry - if your bar is that broken that it traverses a 7" arc,
then it's a no brainer - it's junk. At least the bar is. This one is too
obvious to even spend time talking about...
