“Chinese” electric chainsaws and delimbers: what are they worth?

it's DCT or multidisc (like motorcycles) but electronically controlled...

Not great for longevity...

You become very touchy, Christophe! I had misjudged the scale of your project, but often enthusiasm for technological solutions moves away from simpler methods, which are nevertheless perfectly appropriate for limited work.
As for fouling due to the burning of softwood, this is only observed when combustion takes place in poor conditions.

You become very touchy, Christophe!

So read again above: almost nothing but mockery and taunts while I am doing you a favor by testing these power tools extensively and honestly, it seems to me. taking advantage of the work I have in progress...

If one day you want to buy electric chainsaws you will know what to avoid...depending on your needs!

However, there are photos of the construction site on the 2nd page! science-and-technology/chinese-electric-chainsaws-and-delimbers-what-is-it-worth-t17647-10.html

The simpler method has been tested: pruning shears is not possible on this type of intense construction site (we are far from the limited construction site: for 10 fir trees I would not have said no...for 300 to 400 fir trees no thank you!) , even if it was electrically assisted...

Pruners, I used a lot for my delimbing before having these mini chainsaws: and to have compared, even in hardwood it is longer than the mini chainsaws...but obviously it is more eco-friendly!

On the other hand, pruning shears are essential for light maintenance cuts when possible to avoid damaging the branches with the chains...

As for fouling due to the burning of softwood, this is only observed when combustion takes place in poor conditions.

Another urban legend? I actually noticed nothing on my side on softwoods...

My story of the oak was on the "basic" deom and there was indeed a draft problem at the time (cracked chimney)...since then I sold it and replaced it with the pellet boiler stove and I repaired the chimney with essential stainless steel tubing...

I don't know about BM. At VW I know DSGs who have passed 400 without intervention, and at Audi a CVT with a multi-disc clutch which has

350 km on an A000 V6 is half the lifespan of the engine!

Well I assembled the Einhell...the tool-free chain tensioning system is much thinner than I thought because it takes place at a 10° or 15° angle...

Not sure that this will please hardened lumberjacks... especially since as I explained above, on an electric one, you have to leave the chain looser to improve the autonomy... (on a thermal also of the suddenly but hey, as everyone is upset about the optimization and autonomy of thermals which are necessarily über electrics...in addition to having become deaf, you are idiots... )

A test in French where he talks about the tool-free tensioning system around 3:00...

Here she is ready...

Today and tomorrow it's raining...so no torture test before Tuesday...

Well the Einhell will necessarily cut better but given its weight (approximately triple the yellow) and the nature of the site, not sure that I will exceed 20 trees per hour "all inclusive" with...afterwards if I get to 25 that will be good!

Yesterday I tackled a pile of 6 tangled fir trees...it's really a hassle and obviously wastes time!

More backbiting and belittling: there are no batteries or charger at this DC price...

And nominal voltage 20V in lithium is impossible: that would make 5.5 elements...

So it's either 18V or 21.6V nominal...or 21V and 25.2V "Chinese nominal"...(= max voltage)

So I assume that these 20V are nominal 18V...exactly like the ones I have...so it's not a 40V but a 36V chainsaw...even if it goes up to 42V at the max...

Buy there and we compare?

You're welcome...

ps: covid has really ravaged your empathy unless it is makron and his clique...

[Remundo]

I have a little bit of Einhell power equipment and I'm happy with it.

It seems to me that my batteries are the same as those on the chainsaw, 4 Ah

[Christophe]

Yes, batteries are now intra-compatible for the entire range of portable appliances...from almost all manufacturers...

At Einhell I could even put them on their mowers...

And even better than that!! Because now, thanks to my "compatible Makita" Chinoiserie, I can buy super expensive Makita (but I heard that it's not at all what it used to be...quality level! *)!

* it has become Japanese or bad! Mouhahaha okay I'm going out...
