I’m not saying it’s more gooder than a cordless tool, just an alternative.
I have less than $400 spent on both and they are kind of fun to break out and use here’n’ there.
I definitely could see a use for a gas powered sawzalll to cut root leaders on stumps your pulling not grinding in the woods taking that in instead of a cordless sawzalll and bringing subsequent batteries. Or far easier easier than a gen set for a corded sawzalll. To bad it wasn't 50-1 like most of my gas powered tools though. Funny thing my cheap Chinese gas powered post hole digger and pile driver came with 1/2 gallon semi transparent cheap gas cans with integrated 2 stroke measuring gauge. So you put the oil in one side gas in the other and turn it upside down to mix and shake. I don't see a long lasting durability of these cheap containers though and eventually I'll get a small red one gallon gas can for 25-1 mix only. As long as they keep working somewhat reliably and I don't get affixiated from exhaust blowing right in my face using pile driver.
Back in the early 60's my uncle was earning a few bucks helping clean up a trashed woody area near my house. He was using a saw that I believe is like the one in the video below.
