neither, but I do have a step by step:
1: go to youtube.com
2: type in the search bar: project farm chainsaw
3: chose the result you think is most appropriate
4: result

So overall he rates the Echo 16" best. I was disappointed by the Husqvarna and Stihl. The DeWalt did well.

The husky was a not the pro model

True, but nor was the price.

5amp batteries not wanting to take a charge just flash up green on the charger after 1 minute. Do I need to jump start them to charge

Yes I believe if the batteries drop below a certain level the charger does not recognize them. If that's the case joining the dead one to a fully charged one for a few seconds should bring the volts up on the dead one enough to get the charger to recognize it.

I'm sooooooooo tempted to try the Husqvarna 540ixp


Almost £1000 for a 15" saw with 2 batteries keeps holding me back for now

I know Milwaukee make 12v right angle ratchets in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and a long handled one as well but can anyone tell me about the right angle wrench has loads more torque but does it ratchet as well, anybody use one handy or not?

Ratchets dont really have torque, but they do offer 90 deg impact wenches, look similar but bigger head.

Thanks that’s what I’m wondering after using an air ratchet in a tight spot. Took a bit to get the socket on the nut and needed cracking off by pulling the air ratchet first then it took over spinning the nut off and the opposite to tighten of course. So would the impact wrench you speak of (top one) ratchet too to crack start a nut because fiddling around on and off each flat of the nut spanner style wouldn’t be much advantage over the spanner.

No it wont ratchet, it's an impact just like a normal shaped impact gun.

If it dont undo it you will have to use something else to crack it off first.

Couldn't find that info that's what I wanted to know thanks.

 

[goodevans]

Thank you.

Did it with a couple of ryobi batteries last week I keep in the house for DIY tools,just keep putting in charger repeadably for a couple of seconds in and out until charger recognises them,(sat by the tff screen so didnt seem so ardious),Milwaukee own ryobi so I presume technology is the same

I brought the Milwaukee one after my Lidl one went pop. No regrets
