I mentioned last week I had to buy a new chain saw after my ancient one

The new one scares the hell out of me, but the old one never did. I
think the reason is that I am tempted to cut down or cut up much bigger
chunks of wood than I did with the old one. This one, though not even
close to "commercial size," seems a lot more powerful.

Yup, that's a Husqvarna for you, very nice chain saws. Mine starts
second pull every time!
