OK.....I have had three saws in my life. A Stihl 015, 025(? --- I think) and currently an 034. I do not require much power. The 034 I have is overkill for what I need, which is occasional limb work around the property. My problem is that I cannot pull start anything anymore. Three herniated disks will complain at me relentlessly if I attempt such a feat. My question: I have to go electric now (or at the very least electric start). The saw needs to be small enough for my wife to work (she is 5 foot nothin' and all of 105 lbs.). An 015 would do me juuuusssst fine power wise. What would be a good substitute for such a saw in the electric catagory? Thank you in advance. John.

Well this kind of poses a question not many of us are familiar with.

However Stihl offers I believe a model 180 which is a tad lighter than the 015 and most likely near the same power level .

FWIW the only electric chainsaws I've ever been around were one Skil we carried on the line truck when I worked for an electrical contractor and one residing in my departed fathers garage .Either one did okay considering how small they were .

That's about all I can add other than they always start and you don't need ear plugs .

Might take a look at the new wave of battery powered little saws out now too. IMO Oregon one is the only reasonably priced one and uses 3/8LP chain.
