Guide Review - Remington Electric Chain SawsSmall electric chain saws such as the Remington models are fun, cheap and easy to use. The convenience begins before you even start cutting. Gas-powered chain saws are fueled with a gas/oil mix, and you're forced to calculate the exact ratio. With electric chain saws, you just plug it in and go! That goes for starting it up, too. Gas-powered chain saws start -- if you're lucky -- by means of a starter rope that you tug at. You can tire out before you even begin to cut with these beasts! With electric chain saws, startup is a sure thing. If you have a lot of trimming to do, it's also important to consider the weight of a chain saw -- you'll be lugging it around for extended periods of time. Electric chain saws tend to be light; for instance, the Remington electric chain saw model that has a 14" bar weighs in at just 5.23 pounds, while the 16-incher is 7.05 pounds. Once you've experienced easy cutting with an electric chain saw, you won't go back to cordless again, unless you're cutting deep in the woods. Related Guide Picks |
