Needing a recommendation for a chainsaw for around the house. Looking around $200-250 range. Thanks

Get a 14" Echo and TruFuel it. Electric saws have made big strides but they also have their own issues that need to be ironed out. A CS-310 is $200 and will last with minimal maintenance.

i'd recommend the kind that can attach to your arm if your hand gets cut off

check S-Mart

but im probably biased

I have an older Husqvarna 268 that will out work me. If you buy one get it from a real dealer and not lowes or HD

They stock cheaper lighter saws that will not hold up.

Never put even a drop of ethanol gas into it. Ever.

Echo.

I have both Echo and Stihl products, and the Echo's are much more reliable.

Would the Stihl MS170 be a good buy to handle this tree that fell at my house...along with only occasional use around the property in the future?
