Why would a 16 year old be in a situation to need a chainsaw but not have anyone older to purchase it for them?

Why would a legal system set out a bunch of laws categorizing age limits for various objects? And laws penalizing people who don't secure their chainsaws in gun cabinets, for that matter.

Will they be allowed hand saws? Hammers? Chefs knives? Dremels?

Besides, 16 is old enough to drive and hold a job in lots of places.
