Really cheap price for a decent chainsaw. On the website so it should be nationwide
Price Hipster
Do you have trees that have thick limbs that need chopping? Or do you have a fireplace and need to cut up the wood you pick up from the curb?
This could be the chainsaw for you. Unlike petrol chainsaws, electric chainsaws are pretty basic in design, so you don't get a whole lot more by spending big. They come up fairly often at aldi or ebay, but rarely for less than $100, so this price is a 25% discount.
While they are electric, which means you need to use a long extension cord, if you're not going bush they have a lot of advantages over the petrol or battery type.
For one they're light. Lugging around a heavy chainsaw gets old. Fast
They're also much quieter, because you don't an engine chugging away. They're cheaper to run, don't have to worry about mixing up fuel or charging batteries, and have plenty of grunt. Safer too, as I would argue that the presence of a cord makes me consider each cut twice as carefully.
My only regret is not buying one sooner.
Stock is limited so if you want one be quick. If you're in SE Vic, moorabbin had none but mentone had like 4 when I checked yesterday. If you're going to mentone you should check out my other post, it has a lot of deals in it
Mods yes this is a double post, but the other one is store specific while this is nationwide so I think it deserves its own post.
Edit: Okay, just found that Aldi have the same chainsaw for $80 this week. This is obviously another pathetic attempt by bunnings to overshadow them by knocking a few bucks off, so go support Aldi if you can find one with stock.
In before all the "chainsaws are dangerous" comments. Like we don't know…
