Re: (ET) electric saws

Ever since we've been doing a lot of our heating with wood, it's put more 
stress on the chainsaw.  I will also admit to sometimes being dilatory 
about 
sharpening the chain.  

But I've opened up the Remingtons to work on them, and I'm not impressed 
with the build quality or design.  They have plastic bearing supports and 
a 
nylon drive gear.  I'm sure they're fine for occasional trimming work - in 
fact I 
used the first one for years that way, and it never complained.  But 
running 
them for much of a Saturday afternoon every week or two is really pushing 
their capability.

I've been able to chuck the gas cans since all our outdoor power equipment 
is electric.  I'm trying to avoid buying a gas chain saw, so I need a 
really 
sturdy electric one.
