Another Ridgid battery tool: A small chainsaw for trimming
Posted By RichC on June 2, 2024
This chainsaw has been on my tool wishlist for a while and when I mentioned to Brenda that it was $50 off over Memorial Day, she told me, you should get it. This small 12 inch Ridgid Chainsaw is not the “do everything” tool or even as robust as the bigger twin battery Makita, BUT it fits with my growing battery 
powered tool arsenal … AND when registered, it falls under Home Depot/Ridgid’s LSA warranty.
So far the LSA has replaced a couple of early-on failed batteries and extras are available at the local Home Depot … so that is a plus. As for usefullness, I’m hoping that this battery powered saw will replace my older Poulan and my cheaper gas powered light-duty saws for 70% of my cutting needs, at least going forward (???) … and that my OLD 20″ McCulloch Pro Mac 610 will still be used for heavier 
cutting IF I can continue to horse it around (I’m starting to notice and feel my age).
EDIT ADD: New WyzeCam Pan v3 capture of a “feeling my age” photo after adding the Oregon bar off the old Poulan (gave Poulan chainsaw to a friend) to the “underpowered” battery powered chainsaw (the “underpowered” reference is accurate).
