Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was quite reluctant to buy a cordless chainsaw, and even more reluctant to buy a 20V one. Having 5 other 20V Max tools, and given that the product had a 90 day money back guarantee, I thought I would give it a try. MAJOR good move. Let's be honest, this isn't a tree felling, firewood stockpiling chainsaw, but you wouldn't be buying a 12" tool for that, would you? In a true baptism by fire, the first use was Hurricane Irma cleanup in a south Florida yard. It sliced through a downed citrus tree easily, even 5-6" limbs, and citrus is not soft. Even more surprising was the way it easily sliced through saw palmetto, which is very fibrous and stringy. One hand operation is a breeze, which is great when you are trying to hold foliage out of the way so that you can see what you are doing. And of course, it is much quieter than a gasoline saw, no earplugs necessary. On demand starting, instead of a pull cord, is obviously an advantage when you are up on a ladder or in a tree. The battery (5Ah) just lasted me through several hours of work, and still has a charge. The only downside I see is that this thing seems to go through chain oil at an unusually high rate, but this is hardly a problem, more of an inconvenience. Overall, I couldn't possibly be happier and I highly recommend it.
