Winker star has done it again with a strimmer chainsaw.

 

Can't help thinking he had a lot of bits left over when he put it together. ? This blade is effectively the same, and gets a lot of use from me. Very versatile. 

 

I'm only an an enthusiastic amateur, but my saws are what I have now. 

Makita 12" battery saw ( love it to bits)

Stihl 250 ( The 023 it replaced was twice the saw. Still might rebuild it after what I've seen on here).

Stihl 038. Like me, it's getting on a bit.

 If the youtube video is the one with the chain riveted to the blade I feel certain they are illegal here but the type in your link are ideal in that they sharpen with a round file just like a sawchain. They are very good for respacing natural regen that have got up to 2-4" where a mulching or star blade won't cope.

If it isn't illegal, it certainly ought to be! The thought of bits flying off at high velocity worries me somewhat.  I've had cheap chisel blades lose teeth, and stopped using thhem for that reason. The EIA blades will cope with everything you describe, and the beauty is that they will even cut grass reasonably effectively.
