Festo chainsaw circa 1925 still operating today

[Administrator_JSVN]

Nearly a century ago, Festo (the previous name for Festool) invented the world's first portable gas powered chainsaw. This was the beginning of a long heritage of innovation. Here's a cool video showing one of those chain saws still operational today.

Please use proper safety precautions when operating any power tool.
