Harry. I have 6 chainsaws I use. My smallest is a Stihl 0/17 with a
12" bar it's light and does a great job on limbs etc. a poulan with
an 18" bar and that's the saw I use the most but odd enough it's also
the saw I love to hate. Then a shendaiwa 345 w/12" . It's light and
dependable but not very powerful. Then an Echo with a 20" heavy bar
which is a good log saw. Now my sweetheart is the Makita (dolmar)
i4000 equipped with a 24" roller bar . It s a great all around saw. I
use it and the poulan "wood shark" the most. But I also have a man
eating Stihl 051AV from the mid- 70's. It's got the 33" roller tip bar
and I use it to slice up fallen oaks up to 5 ft. in diameter. I
look at chainsaws like I do my firearms and credit cards. Use them
if you need to, but give them respect.


I'm the same way with my one and only chainsaw...cautious and
respectful, and I really think about cuts before I make them.

I didn't think you were respectful of anything that wasn't liberal in
nature.
