Manual reading of the dated Bench verdict and relevant source-linked product entries, followed by separate model identity checks. Unreviewed underlying trials are not reconstructed, and PF Shop did not perform the testing.
A partial source selection, not the complete tested lineup. The explicit first-place tie is preserved. The source list also contains reference equipment and an electric saw; those entries are not converted into ranked gas-saw competitors here.
