Those things look nasty, eh? I have one on my Xmas present list. Effective, but one has to be ever so careful!

Yikes. Seems amazingly composed to make that vid.

I'd be an alcoholic wreak if I did something like that.

Ouch . I can't help but think a chainsaw uses just the same type of blade. I make quite sure I don't stand inline with a chainsaw blade! But still not really a friendly tool.

Difficult to get very far from the blade when you're holding one, but
they are fitted with a "chaincatcher" never seen footage of them in
operation though ...

I had to buy one in the spring, when a tree came crashing down. It has
a 'trip bar' just in front of the main handle. If the saw flicks up in
use, your wrist hits the trip, which brakes and stops the blade almost
instantly.

A bit intimidating to use at first, but I soon got used to it.

Yes, anything modern will have the brake, but if the chain splits
there's not much that can do, the chaincatcher is supposed to come into
play then, but it just seems like a small metal bracket on mine.

Sure, but neither is a circular saw or an angle grinder.

I regard them as friendlier than chainsaws. Circs in particular are easy to hold against kickback. AGs don't spin big teeth to dig deep into the workpiece - unless you use a loony disc.

Thats very arguable depending on the individual using
them and what precautions they take when doing so.

Sure, but much easier to cut a finger off with than a chainsaw.
Its trivial to ensure that chainsaw kick back isnt a problem.

AGs don't spin big teeth to dig deep into
the workpiece - unless you use a loony disc.

But dont have the same safety features that a
good chainsaw does, and the chainsaw doesnt
have the disc that can explode and do real
damage with the bits flying around. And there
is no equivalent of the chain brake either.
