Chainsaw Repair

Just to add my input for what it's worth. My 338xpt is a fantastic little saw I love using it, last time was a big beech tree blown down, I cut most of the limbs with the 338 and 020t just to compare them, to me the husqvarna won hands down. The trunk was cut with a couple of 266's I like to give them a run when I can, but the 338 was singing and light in the hand which these days believe me it saves a sleepless night with aches. They say you cant use a top handle saw on the ground, fair enough but all tools need respect and safe in the right hands.
I never used a battery saw but can see the benefits but they are going to be throw away tools and battery types will change as have all power tools made, out comes a new model and your old battery dont fit so what do you do
My 338 will last me out as will all my saws
