I was about to buy a Bosch AKE 40-19S chainsaw from SFix when I saw that
Homebase have a cheaper Bosch AKE 40S. The obvious differences are a
slightly higher motor power and chain speed on the -19 but I'm tempted
to go for the cheaper one if that's all. Has anyone here any experience
of either?


The higher priced one has toolless assembly & tensioning, the
cheaper is more traditional nuts & spanners.

I've had both and I wouldn't pay 50 quid odd more for it :-)

I'd be surprised if the extra 200w would make a lot of difference
in normal usage for an electric chainsaw.


It looks like the design has changed because they both now have
tool-less assembly and tensioning. I went for the cheaper one - time
will tell.
