Can't be stopped!

Recently purchased this with some trepidation as to it's ability to handle large diamiater logs, but I had success with all of my other Greenworks products. This chainsaw is a beast that can't be stopped! I used it to easily saw through 8" logs like butter, and found myself looking at larger timber just for the fun of using the saw. It's a truly impressive piece of equipment and the interchangeable battery pack is a nice perk.
I am the owner of a Christmas tree lot. We trim and put a fresh cut on every tree we sell. In the past we have used gas operated saws, which have been problematic for employees to start, when you have a line of customers the last thing you want is a chainsaw that will not start. I was considering other options, when a customer / friend asked if I ever considered a battery operated chainsaw. I had not and was honestly a little skeptical that a battery operated saw would handle the demands. I was wrong, the 80V 18 inch battery operated saw was easier to use than the gas saws, no priming, no choking, no fueling, no pull starting, it was safer to use than gas, when you let go of the trigger the chain stopped. The limits of the battery was never tested due to it lasting the entire day of on and off use, it never got low on power. We used this saw on rainy damp days, cold days and the performance did not falter. I would not make any changes to this saw, it is a quality tool that far exceeded my expectations and did not fall short in any way.
