Chainsaw Repair

I was on my phone, so had to stick with a short answer.

I have most of the Oregon 40V family: chainsaw, polesaw, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, and leaf blower.  I am pretty happy with each one.  It is really convenient to be able to share batteries and chargers, due to the nature of battery tools, limited run time, cost of the batteries, etc.

If you are planning on getting more than one, it is worth it to check out whole line ahead of time.  Chances are, if you are looking at quality brands, you will choose one tool that you are passionate about (e.g. cordless chainsaw), and find that the other tools compare 'close enough' to justify sticking with one brand/battery platform.  That said, there may be cases where one product offers special features that make a difference.  For example, you may run all 18V DeWalt contractor tools, but find that a certain Milwaukee or Bosch specialty tool is unique enough to buy it with its own battery.

I mentioned the Ryobi line 'cause some of their battery OPE is less expensive, look like they will hold up of a couple of years, and are easy to find at Home Depot. If you are looking at that 10 inch, 20 V B&D saw, you might also want to consider the alligator saw - it will handle brush and small stuff in a way that your conventional saws can't.  Would be worth the review, and might give you new capabilities.
