The 450 and 445 are the only two saws I would consider. Anything else is a toy saw.
For a trimming saw I'm going electric, never going back to a gas saw. They're lighter, don't vibrate as bad, quieter and safer because the chain stops a lot more quickly when you let go of the trigger. We've got this little guy: https://www.harborfreight.com/lawn-garden/outdoor-power-tools/chainsaws-chippers/cordless-chainsaws/20v-cordless-10-in-chainsaw-tool-only-64940.html It's cut several cords of wood. I do want to get a 6ah battery for it, I don't know how big the one we've got is, 3ah maybe. I still have work in me when the battery quits, not a lot but enough to keep going a little longer. -Curt On Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at 07:27:15 PM EST, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: If you look at their store, they have a bunch of different models available if you wanted a smaller one.
