More abuse of the Kobalt 80v electric chainsaw.... I had a pine tree laid on the ground held up by the tractor bucket to cut it short enough to carry and the log shifted upon completion of cut. The sproket in the far end of the bar exploded into 3 pieces and jammed into the motor sprocket. No harm, no foul.... just replace the bar and she's running again in minutes. That saw takes so much abuse and keeps ticking. I did look at hte motor sprocket today and it's showing some scoring on it but has lots of life left in it. Right now lowes has the 16" version on sale with no batery for $99. Something I learned this week.... they sell 2ah, 4, 5 ,6ah 80v packs... the 2ah pack hasn't got enough "umph" to really run the saw in way I've been running it. The battery voltage droops and the saw shuts off. BUT the 4ah and above are absolutely awesome. I'm cycling two 6ah packs a day... they hold up really well.
