Awesome!!!!Marley5 Said:
Wait, you're wife has her own saw ? Awesome.
I keep mine confined to the kitchen.
Hi Marley, Yep my Wife does indeed have HER OWN SAW, and actually wanted it.
My Wife enjoys running the splitter, we usually piggy back the splitter to the woods in the big trailer, and my Wife will split as I buck up rounds for her.
I get the splitter set up near the trailer, and get some rounds piled for her, our system is pretty much Buck while she splits, when she gets a pile of splits I load them, so in production I, Buck , roll her rounds, load splits, Buck roll rounds, load splits, repeat, repeat, repeat............
In 2017 on one wood trip, I was limbing with the 23 Compact, a little Top Handle Husky, and my Wife was watching, and said "I Can Do That", and after limbing for awhile she decided that she wanted HER OWN saw, I felt that the 445 was the right Power, weight, Price balance for her, I tried to find a 445 with a 16" B&C, but everyone had the 18" models in stock, so that was what I got her, She got it for Christmas, and was Absolutely Thrilled when she unwrapped it.
I put the 18" B&C on it after she unwrapped it, but I also have 16" and 13" bars that fit her saw and my 353. The first time we went wood cutting with her new saw, I put the 13" B&C on it, so she could get used to visualizing where that bar tip is, to avoid kick back and "Rocking" the chain, She wanted NOTHING to do with that 13" Bar, said it was EMBARRASSING .
Some of her Friends Looked at ME, in a Strange way when she told them what she got for Christmas, then they gave HER the Strange looks when she said that it was what she WANTED.
Her Birthday is the second week of January, and she didn't have time to plan the Party she wanted for her 50th, this year, so it was a little late, but in the Firewood section, if you search for "Rae's Flannel Fest 2018" you will find a thread with a bunch of pictures of her party, she decided to do a "Lumber Jill" theme, and we had the Neighborhood lodge well decorated for it, and all the Gals had fun with a theme that few had ever tried before.
Yep, I'm a Lucky Man to have a Wife that Enjoys going wood cutting, she also Enjoys Shooting, Camping, Boating, Is my Favorite Fishing Buddy, and my Best Friend, She is Definitely a "Keeper"

What I did was began a study to find out where the mistakes were made by both of us.Thank You Wow,
It does make Life more Enjoyable, when you’re Married to your Best Friend. We enjoy doing many things together, and respect that there are things we each Enjoy on our own
So far it has worked for us, we don’t always agree on everything, but we don’t let what we disagree about cause us problems
May will be 11 years Married, I think I will keep her around for awhile yet

Old thread but at 4am im reading can't sleep bad dream. So I'll second this, YES I BOUGHT that same Ryobi model. Loved it at first.. In 5 days of hard work it was shot. It wouldn't cut through a 2 inch oak limb very well. Chain was sharp, but saw barely pulled it, engine bogged. Thankfully Lowes refunded my money. I replaced it with a Echo cs352. Never regretted buying Echo. My Echo saws 352, 490, 590 have all been great saws.Don't know if it's all time worst but I had one of these that was piss poor.

It was used to cut 1 year's worth of firewood.
I remember the chain brake quit working, it had melted into some plastic.
And it just struggled...a lot. I gave it away after I got me a Husky!

They are handy for small jobs. You just pick them up and use them. I have a Kobalt 18" 80 volt saw. It will run about 10 minutes with a 2 AH battery and about 30 minutes with 5 AH. It has enough torque to bury the bar in hardwood and keep on going. But it only cuts about 1/6 as fast as my 500i. But in the offseason when I have drained the fuel from the 500i, it takes about 5 minutes to fuel it up and get it to start. So the Kobalt would win in time used for small jobs by being more ready to be used.Who buys a cordless chainsaw?
Isn't that kinda like buying a cordless airliner engine?
How many cords of wood do you get out of 3 flashbulbs' worth of electricity?
You can't get luckier than to have a wife like that!Marley5 Said:

I bought one of those to try out.. Took it back, got my money back and never looked back. Bought a Echo CS352 and i've loved that echo ever since.Don't know if it's all time worst but I had one of these that was piss poor.

Any saw that you can’t adjust both the L and H screws as well as some dependant carbs
No, no, no.Not the worst saw. Actually a good one to cut but the WORST to work on. I have 2 of them and both needed a topend rebuilt when bought them. Terrible
Really pain in the neck View attachment 686730 (That's not my picture)
Do you know of a China Saw that might be comparable to the Echo cs352 in size, weight, reliability, and power? Not that Iam going to buy another saw, but a lot of people do ask my opinion..I have proyama and "chainsaw" zenoah 2500 copy tophandles, and a neotec 660 copy. So far I am thoroughly impressed. In fact, the little "chainsaw" chainsaw just cut 3/4 of today's firewood because the 2152 had/has an issue that just cropped up today.
