Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

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.  I see that Milwaukee has a 16".  I figure I need a 16-18".  I'm just looking right now and don't really have need to buy yet. 

Ajace,
I have a Remington, about $80, and a Stihl 017, about $160. I know people say the 017 is just a Walmart saw, but I like it. Kind of easy to start, very light, cuts well, and I can get support at the dealer. I have not used the Remington in the six years I have owned the 017. My 017 does not have the quick adjust bar, and the engines might be different now, but I like mine. Maybe Echo or Shindiawa makes something like it that people like better.

I understand Stihl's are just about the best.  I believe some woods are harder to cut through, such as oak.  I really don't need an 18", a 16" would probably be plenty.  I would like sharpening of the chain to be easy.  I am interested in the Echo Pro attachment series, so I can add attachments as I need them.  I am wondering what kind of work I can do with the chain saw accessory Echo and Stihl makes.  You all have me thinking I want gas, but don't want to go over $200.

Sorry I have been gone so long. I realise that B&D is not your color but they made electric lawn and garden equipment. Mabie they will have something for you. If not, I would go with the Stihl.

Black and Decker is my color, I like orange.  They make pole prunners, but I don't see chain saws listed.  I think since they do so well with their other equipment, they might have a nice chain saw pop out of the factory.
