Which Atlas saw do you have? We've got the Bauer ultra cheapie one which has been a solid saw other than the tensioner stinks. The Atlas appears to have a more convention chain tensioning system.
I really like electric for a trimming saw because of the way the saw stops pretty much immediately when you let go of the trigger. This is doubly true for when I'm up on a ladder. We've got some spruce trees on the great northern estate that are between the house and the telephone lines (definitely telephone, I know the difference) that need to go. They're not too high yet so I think with the electric saw I can take them down piece by piece off a ladder. An electric saw will be the way to go... -Curt On Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 11:09:10 AM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I got one of those grinders when they were on sale for $9.99. I figured if I got one job done with it, it was worth it. I don't use it very often but it's still working fine. I bought a Hercules battery powered impact driver and built a deck with it last summer. Never gave any hint of struggling. I have an Atlas battery powered chain saw, and an electric push mower, and both are great so far. I just used the chain saw to cut up a fallen tree a couple of weeks ago and it did great. So nice to get it out after a winter and not deal with mixing 2-stroke fuel and trying to get it started. I have had to return one or two of their ratchet wrenches, but never a problem exchanging them.
