    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!

    Haven't got a battery chainsaw, but if I was to buy one, I would probably go for the Ryobi One+ 18V unit. Might not be the best available, but the range of tools available using these batteries is second to none, and I already have quite a collection.

    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).
    Cheers .........

    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.
