Yeah the little 18V Ryobi whipper snipper is more than enough for cleaning up the lawn edges etc. No fuss.

Best Battery Chainsaw I've seen is by AEG...
A serious bit of kit!
Have you seen the Stihl or Husky in action?Quote:

Was looking at a Makita petrol chainsaw in Bunnings the other day - looks very well put together. I might be tempted if I was in the market for something that size - but I already have a Stihl with a 16" bar (and I would not be in the good books with SWMBO if I bought another one). :eek:
Bugger me dead....walked into bunning today and a guy is walking out with a Ryobi.....

It's a good ad, isn't it. I'm always a sceptic but it's telling me what I want to hear :)Quote:

LOL!
Normally, I'd be 99.9% skeptical of that vid too .. just too much B$ around nowadays.
But that AEG battery system is the same as the whipper snipper I got my dad the other month, and I know from experience how powerful it is.
Battery itself is a little heavy(ish) .. not overly so, but the whipper snipper itself weights maybe a kg or two, but the battery doubles it easily.
Where with his old 49cc whipper snipper he'd HAVE to use the harness, with the AEG the weight is half what the old one was, so he didn't really need it.
I'd imagine that the chainsaw would work out to be about the same(probably less) in weight.
I'm collecting a few of the Ryobi battery powered tools. Was sceptical until I tried the angle grinder and was very impressed with the power it could muster. Just picked up a circular saw the other day.
What I'm not sure about with the chainsaws is they seem to have two different 18V versions available at Bunnings. Anyone able to shed any light on the difference? Same bar length and all.
