Chainsaw Recommendations

Ebe_Scrooge · 2016-07-11 12:24:12

Can anyone recommend me a decent low-ish priced chainsaw please ? I've seen dozens online, ranging from about £70 to several hundreds. I want a petrol-powered one, can't justify spending hundreds for the occasional use it'll get, but prepared to pay a bit more than bargain basement for a decent machine that'll work well…

The one piece of advice no-one has mentioned yet with regards to safety -
Never use a chainsaw left-handed. If the saw sticks and kicks back, it will kick up and to the right. So if it kicks back, be prepared to swivel clockwise from the hips in order to control the kickback.
