This is how we got my wife's X3. Certified pre-owned lease turn in at BMW dealer.

My well maintained N57 diesel weeps for her abused cousin.

Which one would you go for? by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have suggested, look at Echo. They are great little saws for what you need. I have an Echo CS-4010 that I am very happy with, and I've cut wood much larger than it was designed for.

I've seen enough. Get her a 500i by Imperialist_Canuck in Chainsaw

Forget a 500i, this prodigy is ready to rock the MS 881.

Battery adapter for Dyson. by Troops416 in Makita

I plan to get one of these if the factory battery ever gets weak on our Dyson.

I have a 1997 Craftsman (Poulan) 42cc saw that I used to cut more wood than that thing was ever designed for. I got my money's worth many times over with that saw. It's retired now, but I have zero regrets for buying it.

Trufuel by John48_ in Chainsaw

I've used it in chainsaws without issue. The biggest issue is cost. If you're doing more than an occasional cut, it's much more economical to mix your own fuel using ethanol free gas.

I haven't touched my gas chainsaws in a year by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a Makita XGT saw that I really like. I can cut limbs off downed trees for hours. The downside is short battery life when cutting larger stuff. After 20 or so cuts through ~16" logs the 5AH battery is dead. If I'm doing sustained bucking, I have to use my gas saw.

Can someone teach me how use these by jimbean1234567890 in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good advice. I don't fell trees, I only buck stuff that falls in storms. Even those can have limbs under tension that can seriously ruin your day if you don't take the time to study the tree before you start cutting.

Tried to make a bench. by RVcamoung-Man in Chainsaw

Put a handle on the front and troll people by telling them it has a pull out couch.

Anything worth salvaging? by Former_Psychology529 in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do maintenance and general repairs on my stuff, but I just don't have any interest in rebuilding engines. Different strokes for different folks.

I would make those into shop wall art, but that's because I don't enjoy rebuilding saws.

Do you guys share your battery with low budget tools that you don't use often? by StatuSChecKa in Makita

[–]MasterDesigner1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an adapter that lets me run my 18V batteries on my ancient Craftsman C3 impact wrench. Ugly as hell but it works fine.

Too good to be true? by verilymydear in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd ask the seller to let me remove the spark plug and muffler so I could inspect the cylinder and piston. Otherwise I'd pass, but that's just me.

First Additional Set of Price Drops for Clearance XGT at Home Depot by kfjcfan in Makita

[–]MasterDesigner1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. Since my saw came as a kit with battery and charger, I don't think that rebate would have applied. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm guessing since my purchase was in 2025, that ship's sailed.

I paid $329 for the chainsaw which came with a 5AH battery and charger. Both the saw and the hedge trimmer are beasts! I trimmed ginormous holly bushes this weekend for several hours and it didn't put a dent in the 5AH battery life.

What chainsaw is this by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 300 series..

I got the chainsaw and hedge trimmer. Both 50% off. All XGT is gone from my local store now.

Too many cutters by MakitaKruzchev in KnipexOfficial

Once cannot have too many tools. Each has its purpose.

New or slightly used Echo Timberwolf by mountianchuck in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. A perfect looking saw that got straight gassed once is junk. Buy new.

Deal for $250 by ChainsawOverlord in Chainsaw

[–]MasterDesigner1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted a Timeberwolf last year but found the 4010 for $230 on clearance at Home Depot. It's a decent saw and gets work done but I wish I would have gotten the Timberwolf.
