The price is right so I thought I'd take a risk and grab one.
Cheers

A bit of a problem IMHO,,, no chain brake (safety bar as some call it)
Stratco Harware have chainsaws for $95 today and Bunnings about $125 if I rcall.

I bought a cheap one from Masters about 18 months ago. Have worn out two chains on it and it has never missed a beat. Good value for $130.

It is Exceed brand (China), and yes it has a safety guard and chain brake.

John I couldn't see a chain brake in the pictures on the ebay site and the handle looks like it's bolted very rigidly???
Do you have a pic please?
EDIT: John I looked at the Exceed it is NOT the same one shown in the link in this post.

Sorry to mislead. I didn't mean it was the same, just that it was a good alternative.

What about the safety gear and training with the smallest chainsaws, including the battery jobs you see about? The B-I-L, a landscape gardener doesn't seem to worry too much. Too casual for me.

Well I did put an order in for one but the supplier is a crook, no goods after 2 weeks so I told them to refund me and stick his business up is a r s e.
The supplier is DealsDirect - avoid them.

@ johnq ..... Chainsaws, 9" angle grinders and DIY 240 electrical? It all helps prove the buffalo herd theory....

Thats the trouble with the world nowdays
And the reason our goods cost so much
Whats wrong with good old fashioned
Common sense but we live in a nanny state
And most seem to need instructions and
Regulations on just about everything
Wonder what happened to the natural
Selection process or as it used to be called
Survival of the fittest
