In Real Life most people using a chainsaw experience muscle fatigue within a few minutes.

Speaking as someone who did landscaping for a few years, that's because a chainsaw is big, heavy and poorly balanced. you'll experience muscle fatigue if you swing it around while it's turned off, too. On the other claw, you can run a weedwhacker for hours, even though it's vibrating enough to make your hands tingle. There's Applied Phlebotinum to avoid that tingly side effect, though; we call it "gloves".

Well, they can't all be the "Jade Destiny" ... Still, a fine example via youtube - the film "the Seven Swords", stalwart peasants loaned seven distinctly unique swords of Power - (two of which they must learn to wield, the others come with heroes included) - one in particular having Vibroblade acoustic-lensing properties — Of note, it's haft guard, and tang, sculpted as a hollow globe of symmettric dragons caging a space, that when powered-up and resonating, would fill with a pearl of blur - an acoustic-phaser or tuning-fork ... very nicely done —- the other six are all excellent concepts for the "Wu Li", or physics / grace - of swords as kung-fu teachers ...

WHOOPS - this link expired - hmmm, might try plugging this into the 'Wayback Machine" web-archives, sorry:
