Default Chain saw gas

No, but some of the new 40 volt lithium ion saws will do anything my
old Partner will do except gas me out and burn my finger if I get my
hand too close to the muffler. The remington has a bit more "cajones"
than the big partner.


Sorry, but I'm really not familair with either the Remington or the Partner.
What I will say is that no 40v saw will keep up with my Stihl 361 out in the
woods for the day of puttin up firewood. Show me one that will drive a 25"
bar, and cut all day long, as fast as mine will hog through a 36" maple.
Going back to what my original point was - I was responding to John's claim
that the gasoline saw was on its way out in deference to electric models. I
simply disagree with this asseriton and think it only comes from a guy that
does not use a chainsaw.
