While unpacking some stuff in the AZ garage I found the Bauer drill I had. I’ve
got two 3.0Ah batteries and a rapid charger, so I’m going to return the ones I
bought on Monday.
Guess this will end up costing me less than I originally expected.

We've got the regular charger but I think only small-ish batteries. The picture
I had posted isn't clear, that might be the small battery too. I think the
small one we have is 2ah, the "big" one is maybe 4. I'd like a 5, the 4 cuts
out just short of when I'm tired.
The charge time on the
I have the regular charger. I've never waited on it (though I do have two
batteries). I think you'll be fine with it.

Quite true, and something I mentioned previously.
I just dropped a shade under $200 at HF for the saw, a 5AH battery and a
“regular” charger. I had a gift card for $11, a store credit for a return for
about $80, so my “net” was around $100 for the total.
I would have liked to get the faster
When you compare the cost of the Milwaukee you have to remember that with
another brand you'll need to buy a battery (or two) and a charger that you
would not need otherwise.
Yes if you already have a compatible HF battery and charger then that changes
things. Though I'd guess that a cordless
I like your gauge for cutting the wood to the proper length.
Youngest son brought up a good point: We often drive on BLM and Forest Service
roads, which can sometimes be blocked by fallen trees. Having something like
this in the car would be helpful, too.

Thanks Curt and others!
Yes, I have a boatload of Milwaukee M18 tools, so I’m heavily invested in their
products. Not sure I can justify the cost of one of their chainsaws when I
consider the amount of use versus cost.
I have a Bauer drill from a few years back, not sure how I ended up with it
Do you have a collection of other battery powered tools using the same battery?
If so, look there for a chain saw.

I now use the alcohol-free gas (from Maverik) for all my gas can fills.
That and a bit of SeaFoam or Stabil and you should be set.

We do an awful lot of trimming but the trees are alive and I'd like to keep
them that way. The value of the lumber goes down if they're damaged. The
electric saw makes it easy to take limbs off right up to the trunk...

The trick to keeping a 2 stroke engine running is the canned gas from the
hardware store, it lasts indefinitely, doesn't gum up in the carb.

For trimming limbs, from a downed tree, I find a sharp axe is much easier
to deal with than batteries or cords, or gas chainsaw. It always starts, no
gas to mix, and never needs carb cleaned, and, it's easier to carry.

And they (Milwaukee) do have a number of options, so maybe I’ll look at that.
Need to do some research on them, too.

Some good points, Allan, thanks!
I’m heavily invested in the MIlwaukee “M18” platform, so I may look and see
what they have. Never thought to look there…duh!

Just to add, I also have their electric push mower, which uses the same
batteries.
Except for the color and branding, it looks identical to a lot of the electric
mowers sold at Lowes, Amazon, and other places. I don't know if the batteries
are interchangable but I think they are all made by
I'm happy with my Harbor Freight Atlas battery electric chainsaw. I doubt it

far.
If you're already invested in another battery system I would probably stay with
that. I don't think there's a whole lot of
I was thinking someone here (Curt?) was talking about another brand, maybe even
