[AT] New chainsaw

[charliehill]

I guess that is a little better service than the gas powered leaf blower my 
mother gave me one year for Christmas.
She bought it from Lowes, took it home and wrapped it, put it under the 
Christmas tree and it stayed there for a week or more.  I opened it up on 
Christmas day and it was one someone had returned to the store and it was 
FULL OF GAS!

I was not a happy camper.  That thing could have very easily caused my moms 
house to burn down.  She was about 80 at the time and certainly had no way 
to know better.
