Sounds like he has a bigger problem to take care of than which saw to lose.
Bosslady can be a bit troublesome at times, but she does like to sit by a fire.
Asked me why I needed more than 1 chainsaw. I explained it like this;
Welp, I can get $20 saws that need $20 worth of parts to make them work, and I can have a backup or 20 for that price. That way, there's no down time when I get the chance to cut wood.
I could also go spend $1,000 on a "good" saw that might still not run when I get the chance to cut wood, and I wont get it done.
Your choice baby.
