Bought this little saw to help with branches and smaller logs so I didn't have to bring out the gas powered chain saw, or fuss with reaching things with the electric one. The saw has been amazing, and is now my favorite saw. It is lightweight, which is a big plus, and has been perfect for cutting fallen branches and limbs, and for smaller logs. The only drawback was that the battery only lasted for 1/2 and hour (which was pretty amazing, considering the workout it gets) so I have ordered a backup.
I bought this little 24vt last spring after giving up trying to start my gas one. I wanted something dependable, easy to use and light- even though I tended to demand fairly heavy use of my saws. When I got it it seems kinds of whimpy and really light weight. I thought, "oh well, that was a mistake" Wow, was I surprised by the results. The little devil cut right through just about anything I put it up against under a foot thick. I found quickly, let it do the cutting, don't force it and let it rip right through on it's own and it will.. Also, surprise, the 24 vt battery cut for a long time in the pile that the storm brought down and I put it away without recharging. Contrary to most power saws that use chain bar oil- I still have not refilled it as it it 1/2 full after many additional cuttings. Wow, I'm impressed.
