I need to find a good electric chainsaw...I do most of my turning and blank prep at night or during my daughters nap on the weekends. Because of this noise is not good. I currently have a Ryobi 10" 18volt chainsaw that does OK on small limbs, but the size is limited and the batteries give out pretty quick as well. Would a cheap $35 1.5HP Remington be any of an upgrade over what I have? The budget as always is thin, but I don't want to by something that I will need to upgrade soon. Would a 3 or 3.5 HP ($59-79) saw really have that much more power? I could sell the Ryobi to supplement the cost of the new electric saw too if anyone is interested.
