    I got this saw. It’s a great saw. So glad I bought it. My wife and I are old school 2 stroke saw users. Both of us were very impressed with the performance of it.

    This is a really good review. Thank you. Although I will note one thing, I have a gas powered Stihl chainsaw and I’ve had it for over a decade. I use it 3 to 4 times a year and I’ve never had a problem starting it and I’ve never done any maintenance to it… at all.

    • @MattShinavar
      @MattShinavar  7 місяців тому

      Pretty much right? The saw has worked awesome for me, but not having a backup feels weird. I might do something wild and crazy with the backup, run a non-standard bar on it or something

  • @Brian..........
    @Brian.......... 2 місяці тому

    How about the battery overheating ? I've used my standard Milwaukee chainsaw and it seems too much torque, too long of a cut in bigger wood, and it does the 4 light flashing thing, and it's too hot. Therefore work is stalled. New battery sure, but up in a tree...tricky

    That saw is not intended for one handed use as you stated. The manual is clear about that.

    • @MattShinavar
      @MattShinavar  4 місяці тому +5

      Yes, the lawyers are particularly good at making sure you protect yourself from yourself. For fun, checked out the MS201 manual, which also strongly strongly discourages the use of 1 handed operation. Ultimately, one hand operation is the reason for a top handle design over a rear handle

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus 4 місяці тому

      @MattShinavar It's more than lawyers. All saws sold in the US have 2 handed use recommended in the manual. In Europe, they do not. Top handle saws may have been developed for one handed use originally, but when used properly under modern standards, they still offer greater maneuverability than rear handled saws. That's why nobody likes the 201C-EM. The only real reason people one hand chainsaws is because they don't have better work positioning skills.

    • @fartface5172
      @fartface5172 4 місяці тому

      ​@zaccheus does anyone really "use"the saw one handed? I guess ur referring to someone over reaching but most the one handed is feathering the Throttle to finish cut while other hand is directing. But ur a smart fella so I'm sure you'll enlighten my simpleton brain
