I am looking to buy a really good saw. I'm not really looking for a good deal, but rather a really good saw. I want it to be very powerful, very well built, and durable.
For example, if this were a power tool, I'd want it to be a Milwaukee. I might consider a Dewalt, but nothing less. (Not even Ryobi, and certainly not black and decker and don't even think about the "HF" word!!).
I would like this saw to be super-powerful and not bog down but at the same time, not be too heavy.
Right now, I have a little Stihl 021 chain saw (which for what it is,...size, price, weight) is a pretty capable little saw. However, I am now looking for a *real* powerful saw...Btw, can you get a real powerful saw that is not too heavy?, or is that mutually exclusive?.
The only wood we have to cut is smaller in size. Usually no more than 12'' at best. Our wood is also usually very soft (pine and aspen), however, I may be able to locate some smaller oak (6-8'').
So, what is the best made, most powerful chain saw that is not too heavy?. Remember, it does'nt have to be too big (bar length) as our trees are not too large.
