I have an old McCulloch gas Chainsaw and it's blade is only about 14" long.
And, besides being so old that it has no safety features, there are a lot
of other things that I don't like about that very noisy 2-stroke..

This WORX has a lot more power and, as the wise men say, it starts every time!

I already own a very small E-chainsaw-on-a-stick. Extension pruning saw?
Anyways, when I took it off the FG stick, I found it to be as capable as
the McCulloch.. Remington brand I think. It works great.
But, it was a bit too small for my current needs.
(As you get older, the trees start getting massive).. :eek:

I've never heard of Worx. I'd be interested in hearing how it holds up over time. How much have you used it so far?

I've used it a couple of times. Yesterday, I had to cut up some big limbs we removed with the rope saw.
Before that, I cut down a medium sized tree, and the saw is very powerful when
compared with my old Gas saw. Of course it's bigger and heavier. :)
The reviews were mostly excellent..

I have an electric chainsaw; a 16" Poulan and it works very well. And I have a Remington electric pole saw, with is a 10" chainsaw on a pole.

Is Worx the Lowes in-house brand?

I like mine, and I think it cuts better than my small McCulloch gas chainsaw.
Compared to my Remington mini-electric-chainsaw, (pruning type)
it's a lot more powerful. :)

My saw can only run on 120vac, so be careful when ordering.. (If you only have 220vac).

Here's the only supplier I see in Romania.

Worx sells internationally, but I think their homebase is in Canada.
I don't know if Lowes is anywhere but in North America..

My first electric chainsaw was the one I got with my Remington electric pole saw kit..
I really like it, compared to a 2-stroke gas saw..
I hated trying to start that finicky little engine after it had been sitting for a year or two..
And, the noise!!! Dang!!! :eek:

I have a Harbor Freight electric chain saw . Used it some this summer to trim some trees . So far , I am satisfied with what I got , considering the $ 50 price .
I would have never gotten the chore done ( as far along as I did ) with a hand saw .

Bought their pole saw , but so far have not used it yet .

Dragging the cord around is kind of a pain , but one of the prices you have to pay for not dealing with gas + 2 cycle oil . And yanking on the starting rope .

The noise of a gas engine never bothered me . It sounded good . It was audible reinforcement that I finally got the darn thing started .

When I used the old gas saw, if it was a big job, I would stop and go find some ear protection.
Small saw=small muffler. I never liked trying to get the everything just right before
it would start.
Reminds me of a hard-to-start model airplane engine. Even with the hand-held
electric starter, some of them are a real pain.
The only RC engine I really like is my 4-stroke..It starts easy and looks like a tiny motorcycle engine.. ;)

Too many saws are cheap junk and you can tell by hard starting.
My gas saw is an old echo 440cs I rebuilt. Starts real easy, 1 pull when warm and no more than 3 pulls from cold.

I ran my echo out of gas about a year and a half ago and put it away, I filled it up yesterday and it fired right up like I had used it the day before.

I have an electric craftsman too, it put my old 2hp McCulloch to shame.

McCulloch for sale, $20 and you pickup... :)

I know next to nothing about chain saws . Except a little tree trimming with my HF electric , this summer .

But , I was told years ago , McCullough was a throw away saw ? Use it one season . Next year , throw it away and buy another . I do not know if that is / was true ?

God bless

It's an older model and not really a throw-away
 

Mine is from the 1970-80s and has no safety or emissions junk on it.
I used it for many years, even got a blade sharpening kit for it.
It must have at least 50 hours on it..
It still worked, as of two years ago, but with my bad shoulder,
I'm not in shape for yanking on a starter cord anymore.. Too old..
