My wife insisted we go look to see if there are any chainsaws available in the stores. I figured it was a lost cause, but it was a "yes dear" situation. We did find one at Ace hardware but it was still there because it was $1,198.99. We left it there.
I have an little electric chain saw I bought sometime in the early 1980s. For some reason the chain is pretty dull after all those uses. The chain oiler button is broken, and it is time to replace it. It still works, but is slow to cut with the worn out and dull chain.
I just ordered on from Amazon since there are none local. It is a Oregon brand, and supposedly made in USA.
I would think all the big box stores would have a few truckloads of generators and chain saws and gas cans on the way from the warehouses in other states. It is not a country wide shortage, just this part of the country. I guess it would take planning and thinking ahead by the managers to have a truck load of the stuff they are going to sell like mad in a ice storm. That is why Amazon is going to kill the brick and mortar stores.
