These blades can be sharpened several times by a qualified facility, or replaced with readily available replacement blades.The Log Wizard's unique drum design allows for the easiest blade transfer possible, saving you time and money. The single construction drum design ensures a lifetime of hard work from the Log Wizard" The ryobi(left) is the same thing as the wizard(right): but consider this: My ryobi weighs just over 5 pounds. My chainsaw weighs 11. Additionally, it says it takes 10 minutes to install the wizard. 10 minutes and my planer is half way through a five foot log. Additionally, I can use the planer easily with one hand, standing inches away with the discharge sent in the opposite direction. The wizard doesn't have this option; it just spins and throws the waste out in multi directions. Add the time that it takes to install, the time it will take for you to brush off your waste material to see what you are doing, and the time for breaks you will have to take from holding a tool twice as heavy with both hands sixteen inches away from your body, and it doesn't seem possible that it could be any faster. Add the fatigue from the weight of the machine and you'll soon be slowing, despite the speed of the tool itself.It's essentially the same tool, with a different drive mechanism and housing(THE PRECEEDING STATEMENT WAS THE THESIS OF THIS POST-the rest is meant as a joke-No hate mail PMs please). One motor and housing is 11 pounds-29 inches long: the other only five pounds and 10.5 inches long. I'm just stating the facts that I considered when comparing the two chioces. I'm kind of a wimp and cannot hold up a chainsaw that long so I went with the lightweight pussy choice. I know some of you guys like the whole macho big motor chainsaw thing, so the wizard will be perfect for you. I'll go out and do some bench presses and work up to the Wizard. For now, I'll still stick my ryobi and still fully, 100% recommend it. Tell you what though, if you guys want, let's race. I'll put my planer up against any Log Wizard any day! Someone call me out!
