Bosch Chainsaw AKE 40-18 S

Advantages: Safety features & detailed instructions.
Disadvantages: Electric, therefore needs extension leads or nearby power supply

...my garden fence. I chose Bosch because I have other products mady by this company and they have appeared well designed and reliable. The 1800 watt motor was more powerful then I had expected and the instructions were extremely good covering the safe use of the chainsaw. I am pleased I bought this model with 40cm blade and not the shorter version at 35 cm. The chainsaw has 2 excellent safety devices, the first requires two buttons to be operated to ...
...is an anti kick back device which applies a brake to the chain if the chainsaw is thrown upwards in the process of cutting a tree or branch. I also like the fact that you do not need spanners or tools to tighten the chain, it has a built in tensioning device which is easy to use. It is also relatively quiet compared to some chainsaws I have heard. I have cut my fallen tree into manageable pieces and I am looking forward to trimming some overhanging ...

CHAINSAW on a stick

Advantages: Ease of use, Decent reach
Disadvantages: Chain can snap, Limitation of 8cm diameter branches

The Bosch ASG-52 is a fine example of a power tool - just the sort of thing you'd hope to find in any self-respecting gadjet-freak's garage! So what exactly will the ASG-52 do for you ? Well, it could probably take off a finger or two if you're not careful with it. This really is a chainsaw on a stick. The stick is a sturdy plastic, two section, extendable pole that extends to around 2m (7-8ft). The chainsaw is an electrically powered mini-chainsaw ...
...wire. The saw will go through tree branches with ease - I've managed up to around 8cm (3") diameter branches. This tool is so much easier than using a manual/'pull the rope' lopper and speeds up the task of pruning a tree dramatically. On the downside - it's possible to trap the chain in a branch if you try taking on something took big, which can result in the chain snapping (you are supplied with one spare and others can be bought). Also, partly ...

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. ...
