Want to buy a chainsaw

[zorobabel]

I'm thinking of keeping one of these 26" hand saws in the SUV, in case I get blocked in by a falling tree.

I have a Husqvarna 350 that I bought new in 2007. It still runs great. I dump the fuel out of it when I'm done using it which may have been the key for it to never have been worked on other than a tune-up. I use Husqvarna 2 stroke oil it as well as the Husqvarna bar and chain oil.

I have a small HF electric chain pole saw. I use that thing all the time but I'm extra cautious with it.

A friend and college room mate was a firefighter with the USFS and Cal-Fire. He was also a smoke jumper with decades of experience. He once told me that he would NEVER get near a chainsaw.

So how many here have run a chain saw since you were 10 years old?
I personally don't like any of the chain saws made now, and all the battery or electric corded have such crappy chain oilers, at least the ones I've been around, I think most of them are air pumps not a hydraulic oil type pump. Meaning you pump air into the tank for them to oil? Stupid.
