Terracore: you say you're sick of trying to pull-start your chainsaw and the jobs aren't that big anyhow? I have a slew of Ryobi cordless tools and already have batteries so I recently added for about $70 the battery powered reciprocating saw. There are special blades you can buy, (look like bow-saw blade), (cheap), they slice right through wai'wi guava as thick as my upper arm or bigger. It's light and easy to use. I mainly use it for dirty jobs when I'm worried about dulling my chainsaw blade. Like on large roots. Sometimes rocks and things get stuck up in there. Using the chainsaw on a job like that can create expensive problems. Those sawz-all blades are pretty sturdy and cheap.
