I like cheap electric chain saws, too.  I got mine from Harbor Fright.
One came with a pole saw attachment so I can cut limbs that I can't
otherwise reach on fire-scorched oak trees.  The other one has a
longer bar.  When you are cutting up charred, fire-killed oak on rocky
terrain it is nice to be holding a $35 to $65 saw instead of my more
expensive Stihl.  And when you release the trigger it stops.  A light
(48#) Honda generator and a 100 foot power cord means I can use the
saw just about any place.

Wussy?  Tell that to all of the wood it has cut.
