I need a new chainsaw… should I spend the money for a gas-powered Stihl MS 261 chainsaw or just get one of those electric ones and call it a day? #asknostr

How much sawing are you planning to do? If not much, electric one should do the trick

Electric ⚡️ and call it a day lol!! If you have the money though then have at it

If you already have the latest generation of battery powered tools and can buy tool only, then it makes a lot of sense to buy a battery chainsaw.

Gas. The electric is convenient but lacks power. The batteries are expensive and degrade over time so even if its good enough out the box, give it 2-3 yrs and you'll regret it when you need new batteries.

You dont need a chainsaw. You need a friend that owns a chainsaw. 😂

If you’re looking to be a badass man, Stihl. If you’re going camping occasionally, electric will suffice.

You're looking at a professional 2 stroke saw, and asking about an electric one? This doesn't compute... Either way, I like Echo products for the value to performance ratio. My 50cc works great on our 30 acres with a 20" bar. I've had this saw for 12 years I guess... Of course it's run AMSOIL it's ...

Go gas, you won't always need the power but will be glad to have it for when you do

It depends on the type of work you plan to do. If you're likely to cut large pieces, go with a gas-powered one. If you're only trimming branches, an electric chainsaw will be fine. I'd favor an electric if you have other tools of the same brand so that you can swap batteries. If it were my choice an...

Unless you plan on using it more than a few hours at a time, or you need to cut trees larger than 12 in diameter, the 261 is kind of a waste of money (I have one, its a great saw but i cut alot of wood). I shit on electric saws until I got one. They work great, and no maintenance. Especially g...

I love the smell and sound of gas powerd tools but that 40V stuff is seriously better....

No you need the fuel injected 500i

It depends for the needs you have... electric for small an precision work, gas for heavy, raw and big work..

Simple. Gas. Be a man.

Also, "professional" gas powered saws are designed to be run every day- and they work great in that use case. If you only need it 10 or 20 times a year, an electric is way easier. If you are out of useful range of an outlet, get a cordless - with several batteries. If not , corded saws work ...

Cuttingdownd and bucking mature trees to harvest furewood? Get the gas. Cleaning up blowdowns and trimming limbs? Dewalt 60v any day.

If you can get by with a pole saw, I love my cordless. If you need a full size chainsaw, I don't know. Batteries have gotten better but God help you when it comes time to buy a new one. A replacement 80V for my brother's push mower cost as much as a whole new gas mower, and his wasn't that old. For ...

I'm guessing you are just doing yard work so electric would be the right choice. Stick with Stihl though. I have the both the gas and battery Stihl KombiSystem and rarely use the gas powered one. You can get a pole pruner attachment for this, if that is what you are up to.

Cock swinging and chainsaw thread. Sounds like a bad idea.

It depends on how much you use it in a single "session" and how large you want to cut. If it's the occasional use and youre not out falling a forest then go electric all day, otherwise gas.

Do you enjoy buying chainsaws? If so, get the electric one so you can be back in two months to buy another one. If not, buy the Stihl and pass it down to your newborn someday
