  1. My Initial post (1) was purely to make forum users awarwe of an apparent good deal on a battery chaisaw on offer. I have subsequentlytaken advanage of this (post 3). The post was for info only, I have no desire to take part in a discussion about PPE whether its suitability, use, storage of, lifespan of, or (lack of) maintenance of. I do though completely agree that care should be taken when using any powered tool and some tools depending on function and power should be treated with high(er) respect with regard safe use. I normally use a bow saw for log cutting but have sometimes found it hard work particularly with wet lumber depending on how many I wish to cut, how good the blade an d how knackered I am. The battery saw option tool suits my particular purposes and situation.It may not suit everyone, but hey thats a choice we all have. Yes.. I do use PPE, am safety concious, but don't have Kevlar in my trousers!! Happy Christmas. paulb
  2. Hi I find that higher powered chainsaws can be a bit intimidating (maybe due to that Texas movie back in the 70's!) and don't really wish to have to store petrol on the boat. I was sceptical about the usefulness of a battery powered tool such as this but bought one anyway last week as a bit of a punt. It is a LOT less intimidating, easier to store on the boat, it cut wet lumber into about 60 logs ranging from 2-3 inch to 7-8 inch diameter over the weekend without draining the battery completely.
  3. Hi there appears to be a good deal on 36v Lithium battery powered MacCallister chainsaws at some B&Q warehouses at the mo... £64 for the base unit and £34 for a 36v, 4AH Lithium battery with charger. http://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-cordless-lithium-ion-electric-chainsaw/213853_BQ.prd paulbo
