Don't Laugh...

get a petrol one, you will soon get the bug and want to start cutting everything and anything. Electric ones do have a place, but i would go for a small petrol one in this case. I like the makita saws. But thats just personal preference and i'm not a pro user.

Just thought I'd update my electric versus petrol thread:

 

I've been using my new Husky 445 petrol saw to work my way through a 13 tonne pile of cord wood (9 - 18" diameter).

 

I've realised that trying to climb all over this pile and do safe cuts / part cuts whilst trailing an extension lead would be bloomin' difficult (if not dangerous) and time consuming.

 

On the ground, or with logs about 6" in diameter, the electric might be OK.

 

However, the 80 quid ALDI petrol saw is tempting.....
