There are 2 things I've never done.
If I am scared of them too much, then I have no business being around them and can't focus on the task at hand.
1) Motorcycles
2) Chainsaws
Living in the country, I'm continually running into trees and limbs that need cutting. To date, I've used a sawzall with wood cutting (deep tooth) blade about 12" or so? But I am running into trees falling down and such that require a bit more oomph, and am tired of asking friends to help.
My thought is to pickup a slightly larger electric option that can handle the job. My thinking is it's less dangerous as some gas models out there. Maybe I am wrong, hence my post here.
Corded vs battery? Unsure. With battery, it will be great until 4 years from now when I need to buy a new battery. I have a genny. I'd lean toward corded and suck it up (having bought new drills every 6 years because it was cheaper than buying new batteries).
I would use this maybe once a year for larger limbs and small tress (12"+ diameter limbs/trees). I do not anticipate cutting down any 20"+ diam tree trunks and such. I dont anticipate taking down any standing trees. Generally deal with one that have fallen or broken.
Thoughts? Is electric safer than gas? Am I worrying too much?
Noob perspective is appreciated.
