BSCC- not Corvair related

[David McMillan]

I need to buy a chain saw and I was looking for input from someone.

I lost a good sized pine tree on the side of my house due to the high winds last night. Ripped right out of the ground. Thankfully, it didn't hit the house, my neighbor's house or any power lines. It's resting on another tree for now. I feel bad for the multiple bird families that usually nest in there.

Anyway, anyone have any experience with electric chain saws? I figure I don't typically have very much use for one, although it would be handy to have for trimming branches on the trees that I have left. Electric ones are a little less costly, plus a little easier to deal with...

Thanks in advance for advice and suggestions,
Dave
