Chainsaws come in different types and sizes. Choose the right chainsaw for your workload.
A chainsaw is a movable, mechanical and motorized saw mostly used in logging activities. It is used in place of axes and manual saws to cut big and heavy logs more easily. Newer and better chainsaws are being developed and specialized, depending on the job that needs to be done.
Based on popular opinion, the lighter the chainsaw, the more powerful and durable it is, and easier to maneuver. Manufactures hear this. They use newer and lighter materials in their production.
Here are eight suggestions of small chainsaws. Almost all these chainsaws have 14″ and 16″ guided bars. They are the more affordable lot, ranging from $180 to $400.
The dolmar small chainsaws can transform logging to arbor power. The echo small chainsaws are good for limbing and trimming works. The husqvarna small chainsaw is a small powerhouse but is very handy. The craftsman small chainsaw is economical and with dependable quality.
The jonsered small chainsaw is available in only 16″ guide bars, reliable chainsaw prices and durable. The RedMax small chainsaws is also available in only 16″ guide bars. The solo small chainsaw is also very powerful. And the stihl small chainsaw can cut smoothly without sacrificing power and durability.
There are many other recommended chainsaws. One is the homelite ranger. Many people say that this engine outperforms its range price. This has become the best choice for all home owners. It has safety features to lessen accidents at work. One important feature is the anti-vibration to protect the nerves in your arms. Another one is its ability to control kickbacks, and thereby less strenuous to the arms and legs.Chain tension can be adjusted by a screw driver.
The craftsman 34118 is way cheaper than any electric chainsaw. One of its more prominent features is the anti-vibrating handle, making the machine easier to handle. The tension can be easily adjusted according to the workload. It also has a quick brake to prevent accidents, and convenient chain oiling. However, one setback is its noise. It produces loud cracking sounds that can be irritating for some users.
The Stilhl MS 180 C-BE is recommended for easy, fast and smooth cutting. It is convenient and safe to use also. The bar tapers prevent kickbacks.
Also try the Husqvarna 316. This machine is very quiet, producing very minimal sounds in operation. It also needs less maintenance. The power cable extends to 100 feet at least, making it more maneuverable and mobile. It cuts faster than an electric chainsaw also. It has a safety measure of automatic chain break and an anti-vibration handle.
Another one worth trying is the Black and Decker CCS818. The best thing about this machine is its cordless feature. It can therefore be taken in any workplace. It runs on battery, and the runtime is very sufficient for every full charging. Although, it is less powerful compared to other models, it is enough for light workloads like cutting small branches or trimming trees. It also performs quietly.
There are a lot more chainsaws available in the market. The ones mentioned here are just some of the best chainsaws used by many people. Depending on your work, choose carefully among the prominent features of chainsaws.

I’ve been really excited about the AMD Phenom II x2 3.1GHz processor, but not many computer manufacturers offer this chip. I have long been a fan of AMD over Intel, but if someone can make a really compelling case on an Intel chip, I would be willing to listen.This will be a gaming PC. Here are some of the other things I am looking for:1. Solid state drive chainsaw prices as primary hard drive. I would like to run the operating system and most everyday programs off this drive. I’m thinking around 80-160 gigs will be sufficient with a 500 gig or so standard (hdd) for media, etc.2. The computer must run quiet! My current rig sounds like a chainsaw at its worst, which drives my wife crazy. I promised the next system would run smooth quietly.3. Cost should be a major consideration. I’d like to cap costs at $1500, but ideally less than $1000 (system only necessary, no monitor, keyboard, software besides Windows 7 beta).4. End result should be a system capable of running current games at impressive settings. I don’t need my eyeballs to melt, but I don’t want to be annoyed at shoddy performance.Please suggestion manufacturers capable of implementing these kinds of requests for a reasonable price. It would help if I could get specific examples + prices.Thanks in advance to the community!

For once the sequel is just as good as the first movie. this is a very good film though not as scary as the first but still good
When I first saw this movie as a kid after seeing the first one I thought this is not scary at all. It seemed more funny and pointless,but as I got older and re watched it and WATCHED THE INTERVIEWS!!!!!! which most people don’t and understand why tobe hooper made the film he did. The film is great if you like dark humor and understand the whole back story of what happened after the first one. Only thing that has me wondering is the end of the movie when caroline williams is at the top swinging the chainsaw what happens to her? However CHOP TOP IS NOT DEAD. Go to google search and look for chop top there is suppose to be a movie coming out some day about how chop top didn’t die at the end. As far as the movie goes if you pay close attention part 1 and 2 connect ,but the rest of the series is dead.
This is one of the most unfairly victimized sequels in the history of cinema. Sure this sequel isn’t as good as the original, but it’s still a damn fine horror film. I mean come on, a 5.1 out of 10 on IMDB? Critics of course hated the film (Gee how totally surprising!), but I’m happy to see that this film does have a cult following (Which I’m now a part of). This is my second favorite film of the TCM series, and I have had a great time watching this series (Just one more film to go, gotta buy the third one. And yes, I even liked The Next Generation).
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: This film takes place 13 years after the first film. It starts off with two jerks in a car calling and hassling a radio station host calling herself Stretch, and they won’t hang up. But then the two get killed by Leatherface over the phone and the call is recorded. Then we are introduced to a police officer who calls himself Lefty who is out to get revenge against this cannibalistic Sawyer family who killed his nephew and caused his niece (The survivor in the first film) to go insane. No one believes him except for Stretch who recorded the phone call and no other officers will help him or investigate. Now he, with the help of Stretch is out to find the Sawyer family and kill them…using chainsaws. And yes, the chainsaw fights are awesomely epic and completely gruesome. You’re in for one helluva crazy ride like no other. This film has a mind of its own and doesn’t want to be like the other films in the franchise.
MUSIC: Corny? Most definitely as most 80’s music is. And it is awesome! I do have to admit I do miss this music in horror films in this day and age.
ACTING: Completely over the top in every way. This is some of the most ridiculous acting I’ve ever seen in a horror film. It was very difficult to take these actors seriously (Sorry Caroline Williams, but your performance will never outdo Marilyn Burns’ performance in the original). I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dennis Hopper do a performance as ludicrous and bizarre as this. Thankfully, the acting is the fun kind of stupid and you’ll have a good time watching it. There are even some actors from the first film who return to reprise their roles.
ACTION: This film is more violent than its predecessor, and it stacks on the gore (The gore effects are done by Tom Savini who did the gore for films such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead). However, I felt as if they didn’t use Tom Savini’s talent of creating amazing make-up effects as they should have. However, the action scenes are a sight to behold. For example: Picture the sword fights you’ve seen in other films, but replace the swords with chainsaws. That’s right, we get a chainsaw-fighting scene between Leatherface and Dennis Hopper (It’s especially awesome when Dennis Hopper dual-wields two mini chainsaws). This film retains the fantastically creepy set designs of the original and makes them even more demented by having the Sawyer family’s hideout being an abandoned theme park covered by the skeleton decorations and other disturbing items. Needless to say, this film is just as disturbing and even more bizarre than the original. It was never boring and it’s ridiculously fun to watch. However it lacked one thing that makes it lose to the original; scares and the feeling of true horror. This film just isn’t scary, but mostly really gory and ridiculous simultaneously. That’s not a bad combination at all, but it will never beat the original classic.
OVERALL: Give this sequel a chance and don’t listen to the haters. It is easily one of the best sequels I’ve ever seen, and I had a lot of fun watching it. Just don’t take it seriously (Though it was never meant to be taken seriously), and you’ll have a good time. Insanity proves to be rather fun for once.
THE GOOD: Ridiculously over the top, gruesomely gory, awesomely cheesy music and acting, it was never boring, and awesome action scenes.
THE BAD: Acting can be a bit too over the top sometimes.
It’s almost impossible to believe that the same director made the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE – spare, beautifully filmed and relentlessly terrifying… and this slack-jacked ugly-looking mess of camp garbage. MASSACRE 2 is played strictly for third-grade gross-out laughs throughout – there’s not a scary moment in it. Dennis Hopper chews the MST3K-type scenery… Caroline Williams wears the face-skin of her dead friend, in one cringe-inducing sequence… and that’s all, folks. A totally bankrupt imagination here – the unforgettable dinner-party sequence from MASSACRE 1 is recreated almost verbatim… complete with grandpa unable to “get it up”, to bop screaming heroine on the head. TCSM 1 is a masterpiece – Number 2 is, literally, number two.
For What I will use this for it will last longer than me but that beats the hell out of going to a store and remembering to buy it every year and I know it is forulated to work with the particular chain saw I bought so it’s well worth the price!
What could be better than power tools and nekkit woman. Fred Olan Ray is a master at the low budget,but well produced “B” movie. Linnea And Michelle Bauer fans will love it. Fans of ‘Texas Chainsaw Massarce’ will like ‘Leatherface’ Gunnar Hanson in the film.
The title alone is enough to make connoisseurs of B-movie horror reel in delirium, but HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS is more than just a film with a deliciously oddball appellation–it also delivers the grindhouse goods! Copious amounts of stage blood, T&A, tongue-in-cheek dialogue, and chainsaws (of course!) make this outrageous parody of exploitation flicks a camp-lover’s wet dream.
The plot for HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS is fashioned after those classic noir detective thrillers, complete with Raymond Chandler-style voice-over. In his search for a missing teen, a private eye (B-movie stalwart Jay Richardson) stumbles across a chainsaw-weilding offshoot of an ancient Egyptian religious cult. Members of the cult–played to great comic and erotic effect by gorgeous exploitation favorites Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer (credited here as Michelle McLellan), among others–pose as prostitutes in order to secure men for use in religious sacrifices. At the reins of the cult is a hulking guru played by none other than the original THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE’s Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen.
The film’s must-see over-the-top sequences include the opening scene, in which Ms. Bauer, clad in nothing more than a shower cap, gleefully dismembers one of her Johns using the titular hardware; Ms. Quigley’s outré performance of “The Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaws”; and the outrageous climactic scene in which the two bodacious beauties duke it out in a chainsaw catfight. Now THAT’S entertainment!
The 20th-Anniversary DVD edition of HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS features the film in anamorphic widescreen at its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The source print used for the digital transfer has lots of filmic artifacts like scratches and dust, and the audio track is palpably tinny, but in some ways these flaws actually add a sort of grindhouse quality to viewing experience. (Indeed, such sensory debris was deliberately added to the films of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino in their 2007 double feature GRINDHOUSE.) Bonus material on the disc includes a feature commentary with writer/director Fred Olen Ray and writer T.L. Lankford, a making-of featurette, the film’s original trailer, and more.
HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS is essentially a spoof of those unintentionally funny, 1960s-era gore flicks of Herschell Gordon Lewis and his peers. Though it will not appeal to every horror fan, those who enjoy high-camp, low-budget horror mixed with copious helpings of bare breasts and absurd, often low-brow humor are definitely in for a treat. And at amazon.com’s very reasonable price of admission, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to add the 20th-Anniversary edition of the film to your collection.
One of the few sleazy low budget horror movies that actually delivers on the promise of its title (and what a title!), this trashy treasure from Fred Olen Ray also has a classic exploitation cast, toplined by Scream Queen Linnea Quigley (her shining moment is the virgin dance of the double chainsaws!). You could obviously tell from the title that this film was not meant to be taken seriously, the 1988 cult classic definitely doesn’t avoid the campiness implied by its title. Prostitutes in Hollywood start to chop up clients, and private detective Jack Chandler (Jay Richardson) finds himself on their trail. Chandler ends up on this path when runaway Sam Kelso’s (Linnea Quigley) parents hire him to find her. It turns out she’s one of the chainsaw killers but she’s not the only one. Chandler discovers a cult run by none other than Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface, Gunnar Hansen behind the crimes and tries to dig deeper into this crazy series of murders.
Over the last 20 years, I guess Hookers has earned a reputation as a “great” “B” movie. While the film wasn’t exactly great it was still a bit of fun. All the cast members involved realise that it’s a cheesy and tacky film, but they find its charm comes from its over the top nature. Hookers combines the horror and film noir genres as it creates a rollicking spoof – or at least that’s what it hopes to do. Its plot seems incidental to the action but then again you wouldn’t mind since the story just exists as an excuse for nudity and over the top violence, both of which it delivers. I think it was more like a parody of the genre. The script is ridiculously entertaining (or maybe even more entertainingly ridiculous), the dialog is totally over-the-top and most of the jokes/puns are truly fantastic. This was definitely one of Fred Olen Ray’s better films, it’s not like I’ve seen that many of his films but the ones that I’ve seen were pretty awful. If you are after a fun little comedy/horror film with the typical fix of nudity, corny one liners and gore which is genuinely funny and clever, this should be on top of your list.
This 20th anniversary edition is pretty neat, it’s a good edition with a decent amount of extras, since the older print was out of print for a while this edition will do for now and it seems like it had a better picture quality than the previous one. The picture appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Although I don’t expect much from a 20 year old low-budget flick like Hookers, the result was slightly disappointing though. Sharpness had issues as well. Some parts of the movie showed decent delineation, but much of the film seemed soft and flat. According to the disc’s commentary, the original source footage is missing and this print was the best the producers could do so now we know why it looks this way. We open with an audio commentary from writer/director Fred Olen Ray and writer TL Lankford. Both sit together for this running, screen-specific chat. They discuss cast and crew and shooting on a low budget with a very short schedule, sets and locations, the script and their collaboration, and a mix of other connected topics. This commentary provides a lot of fun and both guys were funny (wait till you hear what the guys have to say about Gunnar Hansen, priceless!).
Next comes a 23-minute Making of Featurette. It includes remarks from Ray and actors Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer. The show looks at the flick’s origins and path to the screen, cast and crew, budgetary and production constraints, stunts, the movie’s legacy and general stories from the shoot. In addition to the film’s trailer, we get a five-minute episode of Night Owl Theater. This was a promotional attempt by “Retromedia” and it was created a few years ago. Ray introduces a film and talks about a “free stuff” program discontinued in 2003. It does seem abit pointless but there’s a little skin, and we get to meet Fred’s wife Kim and her “big fake (…)”, so it’s worth a look
. This is a must see for B/cult/horror fans and probably Fred Olen Ray’s best film. I highly recommend this.
