Bucking logs, with a cord, a battery or gas · review
A corded 18 inch saw with a 15 A motor, a kickback brake, an auto oiler and a two-year warranty.
WEN states a 15 amp motor, up to 41 feet per second, an auto oiler, a kickback brake, a sheath and a two-year warranty.
At about $72, there is room in the budget for a spare chain.
Wear chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection and gloves. Keep the chain sharp, and cut on a sawbuck or log stand, never with a log held by a foot. Read the kickback section of the manual.
