STIHL battery saw

You mean the noise of the chain on the rails of the bar?

So it sounds like it's more suited as a climbing saw than for groundwork?

 

Although probably useful for coppicing as well.

 

 

 

Probably a matter of time before I get one.... maybe if/ when they improve them a bit more....

 

cheers, steve

 

 

I'd put a back handle one next to the chipper tomorrow if I had the spare cash. Especially for awkward Leylandii bashing. Pick up, Press on switch, sort offending limb. Put down. No idling saw next to you. No need to fanny about pull starting a saw for one or two cuts.

Well, I was thinking of the electric motor sound. Maybe you need a hearing test Silky?!

Do they smell like Scalextric too?

cheers, Steve

You got that right!

That's a very good point. Know the feeling - I hate that thought of having to restart the saw.

Sometimes resort to pulling bits of branches off with my bare hands/ which is generally a bad idea.

With the bar and chain off it is totally silent. The only noise it makes IS the chain moving on the bar....the motor is silent....everytime i clean it and pull the trigger you just feel it hum....

Nice one Silky. And that's interesting. I wonder if the Husqvarana battery motor is silent as well?
