Heck yea Todd!

I’ve been shilling them for a few years now ever since the first time I got my $99 brushed Ryobi and buried the whole bar into a tree. 18V tools are easily keeping up with 25cc 2-stroke Homelite tier gas tools. And a chainsaw is one of the first tools boomer homeowner should get in 18V because chainsaws are one of those tools that a suburban homeowner might only need once every 2-3 years on their <1/2 acre lot, and if yoi’re not careful, a gas chainsaw isn’t going to start by the third time you need it. At least with the battery saws, you can run the batteries in your drill and curcular saw in the 34 months the chainsaw is sitting on a shelf in the garage with plastic fuel lines rotting away.

electric tools have been superior for several years now, every boomer thinks the shitty electric chainsaw they used 20 years ago represents all electric tools.
I can just plug it in and go, or if it's one of my 40v tools I don't even need to run an extension cord. don't need to fuck around with mixing gas, yanking a pull cord a million times, messing with a carburetor, or frying the neighbor's kid's brain with exhaust fumes.

Who the fuck still burns firewood? You never heard of vacuum solar heaters?

I burn wood. 100% as our sole heat source. Good wood can pull off 80f+ degree delta. Runs 24/7 with zero requirements except clean out stove and put in wood. No wires, no batteries. Only point of failure is the stove itself. colder it gets the better the stove works.

>> No.2894428

>>2894423
Also with a stove you can dial things in as close as you want. I can follow the burn with small air adjustments ans squeeze every last BTU out of the wood. You would need a shit ton of vacuum solar tubes to heat a house especially the way we keep our heat. its always over 70. We burn all hardwood. Oak and hickory mostly. Our stove top will run at 600 degrees for 4 hours and then slowly fall. There are days in the 20's we can go over 10 hours between loading many times we only reload to avoid the hassle of restarting a fire from a cold stove.

coal is great if you have a consistent source.

Our land is all hardwood and has not been logged for almost 100 years so we needed the longer 24 inch bar. I normally use the 18 inch but do need the 24 inch.

>> No.2894500

I think a battery powered chainsaw might be ok for some yard work and pruning, but then again a sawzall with a diablo carbide tipped pruning blade is more versatile, and in my experience will rip through a railroad tie or cedar post with minimal fuss. So no I probably wont ever feel the need to get a battery powered chainsaw. You need a gas powered saw to do any real work anyhow. The overlap where a battery powered saw would be useful is so small it just doesn't make any sense.

That may be a possibility. I have 3 gas saws already though... Or you could always buy an extra bar and have on hand with some extra chains and just take the bar off the saw and swap on another. Be cheaper, plus you'd always have an extra bar on hand for when your original inevitably wears out.

But that’s the whole point of the video, you don’t. Muh cheap Ryobi 18V chainsaw is much faster on like 8”+ thick trees, and you can do stuff with a chainsaw that you can’t do with a recip saw because the front of the chainsaw bar isn’t bouncing back and forth. Sawzall with pruning blade is better for that like 2”-6” stuff.

That's still piddly little shit... I'm talking about taking down 36" diameter + trees and cleaning up multiple downed trees, shit like that. Actual real work, not, "Oh a branch fell down in my yard"

Those things aren’t built for loggers, but they’re great for homeowners that need to cut up 1/3 of a tree that gets knocked off in a spring thunderstorm once every couple years. For a rancher or landscaper who is going to use the saw more than once or twice a month, gas saw might still be a good option depending how long they will be running it.

I cleared about an acre of northeast hardwood doghair forest with two huskys for my solar panels to get sun.
I dont heat with wood, my friend does, hes been talking big about his battery echo

He got 3 cuts in a 12" diameter maple, then borrowed my saws. Always showed up with a real one aftee that.

Theres a point where yeah, you just need the real thing. Its when you need to do work, not just clean something up.

For the record, i own and enjoy using a corded electric one by the fire pit when people are over. You can drag over something dead and buck it up without interrupting anything

But they dont have run time, even if they do have power.

Bullshit, im an arborist and while electric chainsaws have certainly improved they simply do not have the power and battery life necessary for serious tree work. I also feel like they have less control, with gas saws I can temper my cut as needed while the electric ones feel like they go full speed or barely at all.
