The Harbor Freight corded pole chain saw that is coupon special for
$60-70 is actually pretty good for getting branches up to about 8".
I have about 15 hours on it with no problems other than many of my
trees are too big and tall sometimes. Very nice to cut high stuff
from the ground. I did watch a county fire crew go to work on a
tree that fell across the road with some Sthil gas powered pole saws
and am a bit envious, but at $650, they were a bit pricey for my
wallet.<br>

You can get an ok corded chainsaw for about $50. If you are always
near a plug and not doing a lot of heavy cutting, it will get you
buy and you don't have to worry about mixing and storing gas/oil.<br>

For irregularly used gas chainsaws, I'm a big fan of a product like
TruFuel, especially with the bad gas we have in California. I may
go up to a year between uses and my regular gas chain saw always
starts and runs fine<br>

is not what I wanted to happen. Had some very gusty winds
yesterday, half of our boxelder is no longer attached to the other
half. Didn't do any serious damage to Killer or the garage, as
far as I can tell so far. After some quick work with my cordless
reciprocating saw there is at least a pathway to the garage. Still
some big limbs putting pressure on my internet cable.

It didn't take long for the work ro wear me out. I had been
thinking of getting an electric chainsaw, amazing how disasters
can always seem to provide an excuse for acquiring another tool.
But I think I'll hold off, and just let professional tree trimmers
do the rest of the work. And hope that no big wind gusts disturb
the fallen branches and have them take out my, and Team Net's,
network connection.
