                  Battery power is a plus but if you tork the chain while cutting and the chain comes off, it seems to bend the chain enough to cause the limited battery power to be unable to move the chain.

                  I purchased this chain saw after seeing a few videos on YouTube. And I must say I was extremely impressed with its quality and performance. I’ve used it to fell a few 8 inch trees on my property and trim up some limbs . It is a perfect option if your looking for a portable light weight saw . And the battery life is exceptional.

Plus with the 4 batteries per saw, you could saw FOREVER. charges in 45 minutes and cuts Way longer than that. Were you thinking to buy this? BUY it! the batteries are interchangeable and its easy to use right out of the box. 3 year warranty, but its Solid and I feel it will out last that.

                  I love, love, love this chainsaw. I am currently trimming crepe myrtle trees and other larger trees in my yard and the chainsaw is working wonderfully. The charge lasts about an hour. That's good enough for me because I have to gather the limbs I have cut and carry them by truck to our transfer station where I can dump them. So, while I'm gone I can recharge the batteries. This is a great tool. It cuts really well and it's light weight for a chainsaw. I'm an old guy but I can use it on an 8 foot ladder for an hour without my arms getting too tired. I've had the chainsaw since Jan 8. Going to build a 14 X 20 foot shed using it to cut 6 inch beams in a couple of months. For anyone tired of a heavy gasoline powered saw or a corded electric, I'd recommend this one. Just keep in mind that the charge lasts about an hour of cutting.

                  This saw is excellent. It is light weight but very powerful. It cuts 2x4s with ease. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a battery operated saw. Other battery saws I had were not nearly as powerful.

                  Not as powerful as a similar sized gas chain saw, but gets the job done. Just need to cut at a somewhat slower rate.
