Purchased this chain saw to take care of small trees and limbs. So far, it is everything I wanted - big enough to handle everything and the battery lasts long enough to finish the job at hand. Easy to handle.
Had a large palm stump that needed to be lowered. The 12” bar was perfect for reducing the size in a tight space. With two battery packs was able to make the cuts necessary. Auto oiler worked great and the operation was flawless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on CS4562B-10. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the auto-oiler and that the tool worked well for your job! We appreciate your support of SKIL power tools.
Owned less than a month, but have used it several times already. It's lightweight is perfect for me as I have occasion to use it in the woods in difficult terrain where my only access is by foot. I have found the battery power ample and lasts quite a while before needing a re-charge. While not intended for cutting large trees and lumberjack work, it is great for smaller trees and trimming. I have been cutting trees of 6" or so with no problems at all and it is really great for trimming and cutting up downed trees and not having to wrestle with a larger, heavier chain saw. Adjusting the blade tension is also a snap. The only con I have noticed (and it is a very minor one) is that there is a slight lag from the time you pull the trigger and the saw starts to operate; Has no effect on its ability though. Really love this saw; makes my job a LOT easier. Glad I bought it. Hope it holds up over time.
Excellent little chainsaw. I was hesitant at first buying a battery operated chainsaw. After cutting down a cherry tree I could not have been any happier.
