    I've operated an electric chainsaw today for the first time. It went easier than thought. I wanted to use it weeks earlier but the fuse in the electrical box always triggered because the starting current of the motor was too high. I bought a current limiter for this case and now it triggers only half of the time instead of always. The current limiter is just on the limit of the fuse's limit at 16A. At least I can use the chainsaw. Also I have a miter saw that also is kinda trigger-happy, so the bought current limiter is useful for more than the chainsaw.

      @adiwan They're pretty nice, but the cable gets annoying sometimes when you're on a tree

        @nerthos I am not that bothered with a cable. I throw it over the shoulder and it mostly works out. I rather prefer power tools with cables. I am annoyed by batteries not performing as long as I want and by the need to charge them at the most inconvenient times. The only tool I accept being battery-powered is a drill and even that sucks. I have two batteries and at times I was using one while charging the other and constantly swapping them back and forth.
