RE: (ET) Chainsaw Price

["Humphrey, Timothy" <HumphreyT neads ang af mil>]

GOOD AC Electric chainsaw's (Husqvarna, Stihl, etc.)will run you $200-300. 
I
believe the ET saw is built of the same rugged qualities as these.

 I myself have a 3.5hp Remington, 110vac, bought it for about 50 bucks. It
cuts just as well as, if not better than my 35cc McCulloch. I'm happy with
it but I don't expect it to last long. Consumer Reports recently did a
review of homeowner type chainsaws and they rank the Remington bottom of 
the
pile for electrics, the top was the largest Sears model, around 90 bucks
here. I'll admit it does SEEM to be better built than the Remington, though
I've never used it.    

Bottom Line: The ET saw is probably worth $250.00 but it may be overkill 
for
the average Joe. I heat exclusively with wood cut off my own lot, I will
probably but an ET saw, but I need an ET first.


Stay Charged!

P.S. My Remington cuts (slowly) on 12Vdc, I wonder what it would do on
36Vdc.

i have an GE ET CHAINSAW that i received when i purchased an ET that I 
would
offer up for sale at a fair price. What is a fair price? I have never tried
it nor know how good condition it is in. It APPEARS to be fine

want offend anyone on the list - it's too nice a community. So if the 
person
who e-mailed me about the chainsaw is on this list (I don't know), my
apologies. It could very well be that an ET chainsaw is worth $250 or more

I certainly have had a hard time finding one at what I consider market
price.
