I'm one of those nut jobs that loves the sound of angry chainsaw. My current chainsaw is a Stihl 009L which was originally bought for firewood collection. This saw looks dinky but has a 45cc engine, large for the physical size of the machine.
The thing is I tend to leave it in the back shed meaning if I'm out on a job and need to cut something larger than my trusty Felco 9's can handle, I have been just getting my folding hand saw out, hardly efficient. The noise of a chainsaw is a big negative in a residential situation, especially with all the work I have been doing on Sundays. After last weeks storm, the penny dropped and I picked up this today -
Using the same battery system as my other tools was a no brainer, with the MSA 140 C being a step up from the MSA 120 C and give a more power and increased battery life per charge.

Now I won't be felling trees with this thing any time soon, but for what I need a saw for it will be more than sufficient. Trimming and shaping trees as well as clean ups are what this thing will be perfect for. I also love the easy chain tension system, can be started and stopped easily and I won't be bathed in exhaust fumes at the end of the job.
Currently looking out the window at a Acer Negundo that looks like it could need a prune
