With my old chain saw (a McCullough) I would touch up the chain right on the saw with a chain saw file in 10 minutes all the time.

The next chain saw a (Ryobi 40V), now like 6 years old is still on the original chain and I’ve never sharpened it. Don’t even know where my file is. I got real good at not damaging it. And this saw the oiling mechanism is a mess, leaks and I often run it dry. Don’t laugh, the Ryobi is great. No smell, no noise, and can handle the same stuff.

Just got a brand new 18” Ryobi 40V chainsaw (never get a gas one again).
I killed that nice new chain in an hour. Ugh.
I was trimming down some stumps. Only takes 5 seconds to kill a chain.
