Lidl: electric chain saws for £49.99

[Steve]

The best thing about electric chainsaws is that you can use them indoors ( shed, not house ) without gassing yourself. Second best thing - quiet.

I suppose that in a SHTF scenario a small generator is easier to silence than a petrol chainsaw, but it means a lot more kit to drag about.

I think I would spend the money on decent hand-powered equipment instead.
