    TBH a corded chain saw would be something I would not own having bought one second hand from a garage sale and used it a number of times, every time thinking don't cut the cord, don't cut the cord.
    Only reason I bought it for $15 was I needed one up here and my early 1980's Homelite 2 stroke was in Brisbane.

    I have the Homelite here now and IMHO there is nothing betterer than firing it up at 6am on a Sunday (even better on Christmas Day) and pissing off the neighbours.
    And even now at something like 40+ years old I can still fire it up after just a couple of pulls of the cord.

    Good luck with a decision.

    I've been thinking about buying a chainsaw for a while, what I want is something that can cut tree limbs in the yard and some smaller wood for camp fires, I think I will be getting the larger of the 18V Ryobi battery units
    A Husky or Stihl is what I would like but I can't justify the cost of either of those brands
