Electric Saw

[securespark]

Hello

I'm looking for an electric saw, but not a chain saw, for garden work.

Which is the best type and a decent mid-range brand?

I presume you mean a reciprocating Saw.

Einhell, Ryobi, or Ferrex.

just make sure you dont get the blade pinched or you will do a good impersonation off a tree shaker

as an aside
ryobi do dozens off 18v tools now just for the garden

As above, make sure you get the right green wood blades for it, big aggressive teeth.

Just seen these, never knew they were a thing.
Curved blades are the way to go for speed and efficiency on branches and small logs.

Ideal for light to medium gardening.

That's a pretty good price for the chainsaw!

I wonder if the Aldi/middle of Lidl specials are hitting the likes of Ryobi in the pocket?

but not a chain saw

Where does the restriction come from?

Probably too scary and I have to agree

Back here looking for a power saw.

I did buy one like the one Deluks recommended.
Brilliant for a hand saw, but I'd like something with some power behind it now

I like the idea of the Ryobi kit. In the same vein, I have a load of DeWalt 18V batteries and a charger and some drill drivers and a reciprocating tool.

So, I could buy a DeWalt saw to add to the collection.

Or another brand, of course.

Robin was correct about chainsaws, I am avoiding them, and jj hit the nail on the head; they are a bit scary.

Plus, there's reviews on Screwfix of the DeWalt one that says it leaks oil all the time, which is not encouraging.

There is the B & D Alligator saw, which seems a lot safer, but I haven't met anyone who has got one.

Any recommendations for chopping branches up to 100 milli?
