Default Chain saw gas

I think you vastly under estimate what an electric can do if you
believe that they are only good for a small limb a couple of times a

gas if both were sitting on my work bench and ready to go.


Turn of a phrase, and a matter of perspective I guess. I would consider
most of what you do in your yard to be small work a couple of times a year,
compared to putting up a season's worth of firewood. Remember - I do own an
electric chainsaw as well as my two gas saws, so I do appreciate what it can
do. With that said - it would in no way keep up with even the small gas saw
in cutting through something like a 10" limb.
