Chainsaw Recommendations ?

[Biggd]

I'm not a big tree cutter, I let the professionals do that. But I do have a couple of older Homelight chain saws, a 14" and a 16". They have to be 20 years old plus. They could be sitting in my shed for 2 to 3 years and always start up when I need them with no issues. I don't think the newer Homelights are of the same quality. If I had to throw them out tomorrow I've got more than my moneys worth, but they keep on running.
I probably just jinxed myself because I have to cut some limbs this weekend. I think if I had to buy a new one I would probably go with the battery powered Dewalt for the small limb cutting jobs that I do now.
I did the same with the weed whacker. It always took longer to get them started than it took to trim the weeds. The battery powered ones are so much easier.

I have the battery powered DeWalt and love it for small jobs like limbs and saplings less than 4” in diameter.
