I was surprised to find that my chainsaw, a Homelite PS33, does not
have a chain brake. Homelite confirmed that this model does not have
a chain brake. Is this typical of a low cost chainsaw? I would think
in this day and age that such a safety feature would be government
mandated.

I bought a PS-33 five or so years ago. Rebuilt one from BJ's Wholesale Club.
Can't remember, paid about $140 for it. I've been very pleased with it.
Right; no chain brake. I didn't really want one either.

Please don't give them ideas. We are already over regulated.

I hear you, but isn't a chain brake a really good idea, or is it just
something that would give false confidence? Sounds like a real good
idea on the surface. I was not even thinking about one until I
realized that my saw was one of the few that did not have one.

Probably false confidence. Like the low kickback chain that allows you to
operate unsafely.
