Thread: Banggood recommendations

The fella in the video attached this to a battery operated angle grinder, in that configuration it would be reasonably good tool to have in the truck for clearing stuff that has fallen and closed the track.

A battery operated angle grinder is a handy tool to have in the bush, being able to use it as a small chainsaw is a bonus. Currently I use a reciprocating battery operated saw powered by a 90W battery, trust me when I say its quite ferocious. Does the job though.

If that was a corded tool, things could get quite interesting quite quickly...

The bar and chain set up is not that different to many chainsaws.
The grinder will do about 12000 rpm which is about what a small petrol powered chainsaw will do.
One difference is that grinder looks like its rated at about 1/2HP so its going to stall fairly easily.

The wheels are another story.

I would have thought with a single battery it would be maxing out at around 90W with a new fully charged battery. If running two batteries then one may see 180W at the start; or am I thinking about this the wrong way?
