    Love my electric chainsaw except for in winter. Battery life is horrible.

      I’m perfectly content with my little electric chainsaw. Basically I only ever use it if a tree dies or falls in a storm, it actually starts unlike the gas ones I’ve had…It wouldn’t be up to the task of chopping enough wood to heat my house through the winter but for occasional use it’s better than gas.

      The electric chainsaw is the only one I still don’t like being battery powered. Indeed the battery life is too short for most jobs.

      But the noise is also part of the experience, it just doesn’t feel as Powerfull without it.

        Lawnmower and snowblower have been the only things I haven’t been happy with being electric. Climate change might help me not need the snowblower at all.
