in 1926 Andreas Stihl designed the first bucking chainsaw it used an elictric motor. this was publicly accepted as the first ''real'' chainsaw. it was also the first mobile chainsaw. in 1929 he also patanted the first petrol-driven chainsaw, which was operated by two men and known as ''the tree felling machine''. these patents were the first successful ones for hand held mobile chainsaws designed for cutting wood. STIHL STIHL STIHL:clap:
i should have waited a bit longer i was surprised how long it took cause this is a pretty easy question

That is where you went wrong - it was not independant of an outside power source, and surely doesn't count.

If that counted, it lost to the Sector by ten years or so, anyway.......:monkey:

In 1929, Stihl patented the first gasoline-powered chainsaw called the tree-felling machine. These were the first successful patents for hand-held mobile chainsaws designed for woodcutting. Andreas Stihl is most frequently credited as being the inventor of the mobile and motorized chainsaw. He invented what we today recognize as being the modern chainsaw.

From About.com so its gotta be right.

sorry troll stihl had it in 1926 all others are followers!!!!!

Wrong again, the 1926 one doesn't count - if that was the case, the 1916 or so Sector would count as well....
