Chain Saws

Must be the Safest Chain Saw you can buy

Advantages: Safe, Low Maintenance
Disadvantages: No good for Lumber Jacks

This is quite a unique piece of kit. Ideal for the gardener who has small trees or bushes in the garden and likes to prune off branches. In other words its for a gardener who does not see need to buy a petrol driven chain saw and have all the maintance problems that come with it. Such as mixing oil and petrol to the correct mixture. And when you have finished useing petrol driven chain saws they need draining off, otherwise they can be a hazard, ...
...shed or garage. So being electric its a lot safer. I decided to obtain the Alligator as I had a number of overgrown and quiet wild Triffid like bushes that I needed to get rid of. I just wish I had known how quick and efficient it was, as I have become very popular with other members of my extended family, now they all want to borrow it. How does it work, well as you can see from the image above its like a big 2 handed pair of scissors. To start, ...

Review of Black&Decker GK 1000 Alligator

flmo woodshark 2200 is a minnow

Advantages: Great. chain tension wheel; auto oiler, safety switches
Disadvantages: poor. cut down two evergreen shrubs (seven footers) the electric motor now sparking.

Great. chain tension wheel; auto oiler, safety switches poor. cut down two evergreen shrubs (seven footers) the electric motor now sparking. I think the cutting length is too long for the motor. I think the chainsaw is for light jobs only; nothing over four inches in diameter.

Review of Flymo Woodshark 2200

Stihl 260 MS is as effective as a Tuba on a hunting trip.

Advantages: Beauty Queen, Sharpest lookin saw on the shelf, Never gets dirty
Disadvantages: Everything else besides advantages

...its either Husqvarna or Jonsered. Stihl 260`s are kinda like my wife, both are pretty but who needs them around when I`m limbing trees. My uncle has a MS260. I must be a real sucker because when it is time to cut his annual supply of firewood it is either my Husky 246 or my Husky 268 that is doing all of the cutting. The power to weight ratio is nothing compaired to the Husky`s. The MS 260 is also the most finicky when it comes to fuel. If the mix ...
...fouls very easily. Work 2 hrs with a 260 clean the air filter..... I guess Stihl never heard of air injection. I have to say the Stihl is the safest saw in our family, no one ever uses it so no one will ever get hurt with it. ...

Review of Stihl MS 260

Homelite HCS3335

Advantages: Well priced
Disadvantages: Not as durable as professional tool.

My £99 Homelite (plus safety gear) has just felled and logged 1/2 dozen 25-40ft. ash and sycamore. Pros. Easy starting, light to handle, didn't struggle at all on 10-12inch trunks, little vibration and it cost less than paying for the job to be done - and I' ve still got the saw! Cons. Uses lots of chain oil, the chain drive area could get clogged with oily sawdust if not cleaned out regularly. Advice. Keep chain sharp, clean of sap residue and ...

Stihl MS-460 Magnum

Advantages: Extremely powerful saw
Disadvantages: None other than being heavy

I have recently purchased a Stihl MS-460 Magnum with a 28" bar. I must say the saw is extremely powerful. It will cut through an 18" tree that is dead and seasoned in seconds. I have noticed that it has very good fuel economy and has very low emissions. The only down fall it that it is extremely heavy, but then I did buy an extremely large saw to cut very large trees. If you want a light saw, purchase something smaller. If you want a saw that will ...
...It has more power than you will ever need. The saw is extremely easy to maintain. Chains can be swapped in just a few minutes. The chain tensioner is extremely easy to use. The saw has excellent mid range and high rpm torque. Most trees only require half throttle and no more than three quarters throttle. I have yet to require full throttle and I have bucked trees 24" in diameter. ...
