...Ive seen people buy cheaper stuff from B&Q etc and had to replace it. Buy once, buy good.

I bought a B&Q PRO42ccCSA chainsaw 7 years ago with the intention of removing 12 trees from the garden before building the garage. I paid around £70 at the time and never expected it to last any longer than the 12 month warranty period, but it is brought out every year to chop the top off the remaining trees and to date it has never faltered and starts first pull of the cord. For £70 I have no complaints and the amount of tree cutting has paid for itself many times over

some of my trees aren't that big......thank god.., my bow saw would have a blunt blade cutting them.....yea ok my arm would give up

Thanks for the advise guys
Looks like I need a chainsaw soon, Im rapidly getting close to those bigger trees on the drive  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!
