Looking for a good electric chain saw
Original Message Jun 14, 2005 11:07 am

I haven't done much looking but I don't have much need for one other than once in a while to cut average size chunks of wood.Â I see that Milwaukee has a 16".Â I figure I need a 16-18".Â I'm just looking right now and don't really have need to buy yet.Â

Stihl makes a very nice electric saw. Remington makes a decent economy saw, probably can buy 2 for what the Stihl costs, but they are strictly light duty in comparison.

I see the Remington's have somewhat good reviews and are at a price I can afford.Â I wonder what others might say about Remington.Â Shovlers, do you sell them?Â

sorry we only sell the husky in electric.

the remingtons used to be a good saw but its been a long time since i have seen one.

if you are not cutting up a couple cord of firewood then the new remington should do the job.

Good electric Saw ??Â Â Â Â Â

If you must, the Stihl, Makita or husky are decent. Ive seen remingtons destroyed in no time at all.

I like Orange so it's either Husqvarna or the Stihl.Â I haven't priced them yet.Â Also money isn't planned for this purchase yet.Â The old one is a 10" McCulloch.Â Â
