    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

    I'm with the others, chainsaws are dangerous enough as it is without adding potential lethal mains power to the mix. Would only go petrol or cordless.
