McCulloch MS1630NT Chain Saw 16" Electric

Far superior to others in its price range. Has an auto chain stop (which I also use as a "safety" to ensure I don't unintentionally start it before I'm ready), has an automatic oiler (others are manual), the handle is comfortable (some others have plastic parting lines w/ rough edges under your fingers), plenty of power, and hand grips where you need them. It even sounds better than others - like a well-built instrument.
I had an earlier model which died from extended heavy use while severely pruning a big tree; the baseplate to which the gears and motor are mounted was just plastic and it warped from the accumulated heat. I expect this model is built similarly, so don't over-use it and you'll be very happy.

Very simply, my husband absolutely loved this chainsaw - he felt as if slicing through butter - very quiet/smooth/quick. In addition, the price/shipping service provided by Amazon CANNOT BE BEAT !

Saw is Powerful, well made, and very easy to operate/maintain, probable the best electric chain saw in this price range.

Over weighted for cutting above shoulder. In the backyard, 14" may be the best choice.
