I will absolutely buy a battery powered chainsaw... when my Stihls (and Echo) croak
. I absolutely love my newest one .... lightweight, and packs a punch, a pro saw (Germany), with M-tronic (no carb issues, no warm up, etc). But modern gas sucks... even non-Ethanol... glad I have it available in 93 too. I need my saws to work when power goes out or electricity isn't nearby. My baby saw is a beast compared to one I had that looks just like it .... gave that one to my uncle. All of those battery vs Stihl comparisons are up against the low end Stihls imo... but ya gotta pay for the pro stuff.
The Stihl I gave away was $300 or so, verses the $750 one I replaced it with.
Ya pay to play
edit: Stihl Ms 201 TC-M .... though I don't climb, it's a pro tree climber saw with a 14" bar (could handle 16)... I watched a pro use one similar to do most of the cutting on a big red oak .... probably 2' in diameter up top.... his big heavy saws just sat and watched
....
I was sold
