I grew up around many different sorts of power tools. By my mid-20s I was comfortable using routers, table saws, sawzalls, jigsaws, jackhammers and more.

But nobody in my family had any gas-powered motors for anything at all.

I'm 61 now, and a volunteer firefighter. We have lots of gas powered chainsaws, circular saws, ventilation fans, and more.

I'm still extremely uncomfortable with starting these engines.
