If you want good, tough tools at bargain prices you need to consider reconditioned tools that are on sale all over the internet.
Here’s a good example: for just $64.31 you get a reconditioned Ryobi chain saw which, at worst, will have minor cosmetic blemishes. My understanding is that people who use chain saws don’t care about a couple of bumps and scratches so this is an ideal solution for the cost-conscious chain saw buyer.
For that inconsiderable price you get a factory serviced tool that operates to 3.54 Peak Horsepower. It has a dependable electric start, a big Cut 18″ bar and chain with Safe-T-Tip and EZ Twist n’ Tighten chain tensioning. It’s exactly the same as the new thing except it’s a fully repaired secondhand thing.
Here are further specs: Type: Skip Tooth/Low Kickback; Bar and Chain Oil Capacity: 7.1 oz.; No Load Speed (Sprocket): 6200/min.; Input: 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 13.0 Amps. Okay, you will need a long extension cord but that you would need with the new thing too.
Hurry and get this Ryobi chainsaw here for $54.31 before someone else does. With carrying case!
