I know they're made these days and are very expensive.
I bought one back in the 1960s made by G.E. the washing system
lasted many years and finally died about 4 years ago.
the dryer kept blowing thermostats and I got tired of spending
over a hundred bucks to replace it and got a cheap used dryer

A twelve inch chain saw is fine.
Before I lost my eye site I had quite a few chain saws.
I went to Sears and bought their twelve inch electric chain saw.
Being blind it is very easy to use.
I lent it to a sighted friend, and he said it works as good as a gas powered
saw.

Hi
How to Buy a Chain Saw
If you own land, a chain saw can be a great time and money saver. Instead of
using an ax or calling in a landscaper to remove broken tree limbs, bring down
dead trees, or cut firewood -- you can do it yourself.
If you need a chain saw only once, consider a rental. Most e

Yes, and if you can find one (they are readily available) get a 55 gallon steel

There are "clamp amp" add ons for DMMs that can give you maybe a 10 to 1
increase in current capability.
I know Fluke makes them, but I see no reason why one wouldn't work with any
DMM.
If you want, I'll have our engineer research them when he gets back in
early october.
Unfortunately,
I am no expert when it comes to chain saws but I do note that 16 inch ones
are very common and would doubt it is worth any small savings in buying
anything smaller. Replacement chains will be far more common and easily
available as well.
What is your objection to a manual saw? A bow saw will go

Although I appreciated the recent email listing specs for a good surge

and having problems.
The sites do not list enough specs for me to assess them according to the
ones listed. I find a few of them but never all.

I agree with RJ all you need is a buck or bow saw. Unless you had a bunch more
trees to cut.

You won't find a real analog VOM these days unless you want to buy a used one

The rule of thumb is: tree diameter shouldn't exceed twice the saws bar length.

If this is a one time job, use a buck saw. A lot less expensive. As for

Absolutely...
Just make certain to notch the tree on the side to which you want the tree
to fall.
Be certain their are no overhead utilities, other trees that might create a
widow maker for you and no neighbor's cars parked in the way on tree
falling day.
Good luck.

I need to buy a chain saw to take down a tree. The thickest part of the
tree is about 8 inches. Question, is a 12 inch chain saw big enough?
