I do agree that it's a price FLL might appreciate!

What's this about torque? That little mini mite, the Homelite 14", is very tame. My problem with a gas chainsaw, aside from the gas and maintenance, was its weight. I once cut my leg with it because I was tired at the end of the day and I let it fall the wrong way at the end of a cut. No such problem with the little Homelite. Light as a feather. Also comes in 16" for $99 at Home Depot.

(OK, do your manspeak now and tell me all about torque.)
