Gas Chainsaw V.S. Electric Chainsaw...Worth the extra Money? You decide!!

What happens here

Josh begins the controlled cutting tests by using the gas-powered Stihl MS 170 chainsaw. He first makes two swift cuts through the smaller 4-inch diameter poplar log. Following this, he proceeds to make two additional cuts on the larger 8 1/4-inch diameter poplar log. The MS 170 effortlessly slices through both logs, demonstrating strong, consistent power and speed without any noticeable hesitation or bogging down, producing clean cuts.

Goal: Demonstrate the cutting capability of the gas-powered chainsaw on varied log sizes.
