• Plug-in electric chainsaws don’t have to be cheap crap: this one is quite sturdy.

• My local fire department keeps an assortment of gas-powered chainsaws for emergency extractions. How do they deal with the fact that gas engines won’t start if you don’t use them frequently? They start every saw every day, just to be sure. The need to do that is a perfect demonstration of why I don’t like gas-powered yard equipment.

• This piece of crap is my favorite chain saw. The bigger ones just scare me.

• A typical small, gas-powered chain saw is a great tool, except for the gas-powered part. That’s hateful, because of course it won’t start.

• The only thing worse than a gas engine that doesn’t work is a gas engine that never worked, because you got it pre-broken at an auction. That’s what you give the kid to practice frustration with gas engines.

Do you have a better example of this kind of tool? Let me know by leaving a comment, and include a picture of it if you can so everyone can see!
