Sharp chain - the number one qualifier for any chainsaw discussion.
Too many occasional users never learn how to sharpen a chain, how to
recognize when it needs sharpening, et. al. It takes 5 minutes to
learn how to do it properly from someone who knows, does not even
require a guide, and only a couple of oops' before you're really
pretty good at being able to keep a chain sharp enough to do good
work. But - for some reason, this escapes most people.

I've seen devices that are supposed to "sharpen" a chain that mount on
the saw and you run the chain through it. Do they actually work? Or are
they like most "sharpeners" out there that take a dull edge and gives you
something that actually cuts (but not well) or reshape the edge like a
hone?
