In our most recent game, I got completely murderlated by a chainsaw wielding Orc Barbarian. The party, feeling bad for me, decided that I could use the +1 chainsaw with my next character.
The problem is, we already have two fighters (A natural weapon bloodrager/dragon disciple and a trip Brawler).
So there's really no need for two-handed barbarian or fighter and I don't want to outclass them with damage.
So!
Any ideas for odd characters, weird builds, or cool trick that could be done by a character wielding a chainsaw?

Vivisectionist Alchemist sounds appropriate as well as hideously deadly.
Another possibility: A Summoner whose Eidolon wields the chainsaw. Said Eidolon could be a "childhood nightmare come to life" sort of thing (Spiritualist would be an excellent alternative as well, save that a Phantom, unlike an Eidolon, isn't always in a physical state capable of wielding a chainsaw; I'm not yet fully versed in them).

The summoner idea is great! And I would play it, if our DM hadn't banned all pet classes for this game. xD
(We have six players, so he feels like pet classes slow the game down.)

Dazzling Display build. Because Chainsaw.
Order of the Cockatrice Gnome Cavalier. Because tinker-gnomes are a thing that should be played often.
Possibly adding bard and going Battle herald, because melee love teamwork feats for free and buff/debuff support.
It would be EPIC.
It's a medium chainsaw, so I can't play a gnome. Boo.
Also, considering the amount of robots in our game, Dazzling Display would probably be pretty bad, unless I'm missing someway to scare robots.
