Good advice, I like my Craftsman 18 inch. As said I drain the fuel out during the winter and replace with a little sea foam, I'll crank it over to get the fuel out of the lines and the sea foam in them ( alot of people do the same with sta-bil, i just prefer the sea foam). as to renting, a chain saw is one of those tings we have in the garage we may use once or twice a year, along with the roto-tiller, that we are glad to have when we need it, I've had mine for 7 years and maybe used it a dozen times, But I know it's there...
