    Any certain run of the mill electric chainsaws seem better than you expected? Used, Craigslist, garage sale, FB kind.

    I use a metal sawbuck from Northern I think it came from for limb wood.
    The MS250 has been the saw for it.
    I’ve been thinking of getting a electric chainsaw off the interweb since I see them so cheap used now a days. I have electric available where I usually cut.

    Never had one so I don’t know if they are more of a toy so I’m asking the group.

    Battery powered chainsaw

    Edit: oh wait...you are talking about corded saws?
    I have one...don't even know the brand...some elcheapo thing...it has a manual chain oiler on it!
    I just got it for trimming the occasional "too long" split to length in the garage in the middle of the winter...it works fine for that.

    I have a couple of old Milwaukee (all metal) saws that are pretty decent.

    That’s right. I’m looking at Milwaukee cordless down the road because I’m team red and have a bunch or them but a used corded one is what I would like to have for this particular idea.
