The Harbor Freight corded pole chain saw that is coupon special for
$60-70 is actually pretty good for getting branches up to about 8". I
have about 15 hours on it with no problems other than many of my trees
are too big and tall sometimes. Very nice to cut high stuff from the
ground. I did watch a county fire crew go to work on a tree that fell
across the road with some Sthil gas powered pole saws and am a bit
envious, but at $650, they were a bit pricey for my wallet.
You can get an ok corded chainsaw for about $50. If you are always near
a plug and not doing a lot of heavy cutting, it will get you buy and you
don't have to worry about mixing and storing gas/oil.

For irregularly used gas chainsaws, I'm a big fan of a product like
TruFuel, especially with the bad gas we have in California. I may go up
to a year between uses and my regular gas chain saw always starts and
runs fine

It didn't take long for the work ro wear me out. I had been
thinking of getting an electric chainsaw, amazing how disasters
can always seem to provide an excuse for acquiring another tool.
But I think I'll hold off, and just let professional tree trimmers
do the rest of the work. And hope that no big wind gusts disturb
