Thread: Battery chainsaws

Ryobi have some useful gear, but like everyone these days they are a label and a lot of the actual manufacture seems outsourced. I have a Ryobi weedeater that the attachments off it fit a lot of other brands and are quite good. The motor on it has a design fault where the crank shaft isn't retained and is a simple push fit. When it gets hot, the bearing that the crank pushes into stays in place but the crankshaft slides back away from the tool head and the flywheel fouls the housing and it comes to a screaming halt. Open the crank case cover, smack the crankshaft back into position and all good for about 5 minutes of running...

Yeah, there's an advantage to going to forestry standard sized chain. That's for sure! It's almost the same price for a 20" loop of 3/8 Oregon as that.

Only thing is I love that 1/4 inch chain as it's awesome for railing/detailed work as stay holes ect.
Somebody making a packet out of it!

Works out to 8 chains.

Nice!

Yep, "German and Korean materials". No Chinesium in sight

Have to agree, that weee 1/4 inch chain is like a laser on fresh pine. The wee Stihl is just the saw to have living on the side x side. Got stuck last weekend at the bottom of a hole I was digging. All that lovely pumice and I had to hit a band of greasy ash

Pines chopped up and laid down behind, and out she crawled. Phew!
