They are just a lot easier if you are just cutting a few limbs. No gas
problems. (mixing fresh, using it all or dumping it etc)

I keep about a quart of gas/oil mixed for my string trimmer, which I use
at least once a week. Same mix goes into the chain saw. Stays fresh
enough, or at least it's never given me a problem. When I am finished
with the chain saw, I empty the mix out back into the little container
and run the saw dry. I use the chain saw about once a month for cutting
limbs too big for the Sawz-all.

We have electric tools for all of that. I only break out the gas saw
or trimmer when I am getting serious about something like cutting the
weeds at the boat basin or cutting down big trees. Other than that the
electric chain saw and electric trimmer works fine.
My wife will use them ;-)

It's 100 feet or more from exterior house/garage electrical outlets to
many of the places where I need to trim a limb or cut up a fallen tree.
I have a 100' drop cord, but at those distances, I prefer gasoline power
for yard tools.
