Battery powered chainsaw

Mowing is when I think, plan & invent!

It's funny how we train our minds over the years, to "plan and invent". I learned on a drafting board, and even when we transitioned to CAD, I'd start with a sketch on graph paper or vellum.

But for roughly 30 years now, I've been doing everything in CAD, 2D into the early 1990's transitioning to 3D in the late 1990's, and then parametric 3D ever since ca.2000. Now, I basically "think" via CAD, it's the first place I turn when starting to form a new idea.

Of course they all work, it's just a matter of how you've trained your own brain to think through such problems.

All those troubleshooting years when I hit a snag I could solve it right as I went to sleep.
Before REM.

… and then struggle to remember the solution, the next morning. Been there!

I think I can get Ryobi here, I'm not sure.
The thing is, I still have the battery and charger for the old saw. I have a grinder that takes the same battery; so if I can get the same saw again I will.
They may have dropped the whole battery tool line, I'll find out eventually.

I found what I consider the best/ lowest cost place to buy Ryobi re-conditioned tools is: Direct tool outlet, Seiverville TN. Tanger Outlet, white oaks mall.
The only thing I have ever found different is, the reconditioned tools are marked as such, with RECON melted into the case and have a shorter warranty; but they all must pass the same inspection as a new one to be sold. My Ryobi trimmer is going on 8 yrs old and the same battery.
