    Norwoods tractor supplies often sell rolls of chainsaw chain at extremely cheap prices

    Ringing around suppliers pays off at times

    I have 'misplaced' my chain breaker/riveter, so had to get the guys at Terrain make me up a 36 inch and 42 inch chain for this job.

    The 42 inch was just a tad short, but got the job done anyway

    Yes, handy for small shit but after 30 years prof. pruning these are more efficient and battery doesn’t run out. Silky 300 saw, slightly shorter model is goo too.

    A mate of mine has one of those baby pruning saws, it really kicks arse. Perfect for pruning in the orchard. I've seen him cut 4 inch thick branches with it and it rips through it no worries.
    From memory a new chain is about $16ish

    I have one for stealth track maintenance and it's awesome. One handed fits in your pack, but light duty only - it's plastic and the battery is tiny. But it's more capable than I thought and ideal for the little jobs - the proper saws stay in the shed more now. Don't get one expecting to cut firewood tho.
