I trimmed and cut trees for a living for over 40 years, so I am very well acquainted with a gas chainsaw. This worked as well as a gas version of comparable size. Much quieter and a lot easier to start.
This saw has done the job for me. I have had the chain slip off a couple of times, but I attribute that to user error. I now know what to watch for if the chain is getting too much slack in it, so I just adjust it and go on. Plenty of power for what I need. I only wished the pole were longer for some of the trees I have to trim.
I bought this a month ago. Used it on a 8” tree. I’m very pleased with its power and ability to handle the green wood. I also have the 60v lawnmower which I absolutely love. And the batteries are interchangeable.
