I guess that we are all use to starting saws with a quick sharp pull. My Grandfather was from an age that started his truck with a crank. I guess if you don't want to crank the handle you shouldn't drive the truck. All my cars, and truck have electric starters my lawnmower has an electric starter even my 47 year old tractor has an electric starter. New isn't always bad I have a nice sharp saw that works every time & is very easy to start but it takes a lot of effort to run with all that pushing and pulling. My chainsaw is much easier to run but if you don't want to run a bowsaw you shouldn't run a cainsaw in it's stead. If these products perform poorly or break often thats one thing but to pan the concept seems short sighted. I also understand that some features may be service problems but we need to weigh the benifit against the costs. This is in no way an endorsement for the very old ( definition keeps changing) or those with imparements mental or physical ( those seem to change as well 
) to run powerful and dangerous equipment.

). The same basic idea goes for a tractor and most self propelled lawnmowers. As I said before, the easy 2 start thing sounds great for blowers and string trimmers because they don't offer the same level of danger a chainsaw does. I have no problem with my mother using a blower and think the easy 2 start would be great for her but think the only time she should be touching a chainsaw is when it isn't running. As for people with special needs, that would be on a case by case basis. Again, I really don't want to get people too up in arms with this post and am just trying to keep safety #1.
its the day for it!
