Electric saws and other stuff.

[David Dobedoe]

We had a husqvarna electric chainsaw on a job this week and have to saw I was impressed. Biggest thing was lack of noise and easy communication on an awkward rigging job.

 

Think I'm going to buy an electric battery chainsaw.

 

So ladies and gentlemen, what do others think of these tools and what are the pros and cons of the different brands?

 

Thanks

David

Those tools were powered by a compressor via an integrated hose and lifeline.

 

A dynamic form of SRT, a winch acting as a Hobbs. The climber has no tail.

 

An old climber's salvation in the making?

I think they're great. Use mine mostly in the summer. I have used both the Stihl and Husky extensively. Theres nothing between them really. The Stihl is a bit quieter, thats about it really.

The initial cost seems expensive, if you get two battery's could you get away with just one battery for day to day use ? Also how long does the oil last as with normal saws the fuel runs out first so topping the oil happens instictivly?

Good point, would be easy to get 'in the zone' and forget to refill the chain oil.
