Chainsaws have been used to clearcut forests and terrorize teen summer camps , so Stihl is hoping to put them in a more friendly light with their newelectric modelthat switch the electric cord for a sixty minute rechargeable lithium - ion shelling .
Not only is it a greener alternative to accelerator pedal powered models , but the want of a fuel tankful and gas locomotive make Stihl’s$350MSA 160 C - BQ Chain attend quieter , light to express , and you do n’t have to deal with those mussy fuel and oil mixtures . With a 36 - volt lithium - ion battery it will happily slice through trees and baseball bat for up to an hour , so you no longer have to measure up to Paul Bunyan if you stargaze of being a lumberman .
Unfortunately both the battery and its battery charger are sell separately , boosting the cost of the chain saw if you want to expend it for more than just a Halloween costume accessory . But a slightly cheaper thirty - five minute battery is also available if you just have to share with the occasional log , and are n’t distressed about gathering enough firewood so your menage live the wintertime .
