Is there a more useful AND infuriating piece of machinery than the chainsaw?

I have 5 trees down.
<2yo Echo broke a bar on the 2nd tree.

And can a man with no chainsaw ever be a real man?

I use mine so infrequently that I usually pop a new chain on and rebuild the carb every time. (Like once every 3 years)

I have a battery powered one. Works perfectly the 1-2 times a year I actually use it.

Not dealing with a two stroke motor given how infrequent we use this thing.

Wouldn’t a real man use an axe and his real man strength?

You sure you broke the bar or did it come loose?

Got one last year, it’s perfect for neighborhood jobs and can’t still cut a pretty good sized tree.

You broke the bar? You shouldn’t be cutting trees down.

The gas weedeaters of the early '90s were the absolute most hellish piece of frickery ever invented. They literally spawned the entire industry of gas stabilizers. Ok not literally, but they fricking sucked none the less.
