" ... Proceeded to cut the branch into firewood size pieces (about 7 pieces total, so 6 more cuts) then cut a few 4-5" limbs, probably 6-7 limbs total. ... "
" ... I cut a 6" branch with ease. ... "
" ... Cuts like a charm. ... "
" ... I don't use it for much other than trimming trees around the yard and cutting up branches and it works great! ... "
" ... By spacing the teeth out, there is less resistance to cutting allowing you to cut through larger branches, albeit more slowly than with my plug in electric chain saw. ... "
" ... We use the battery that came with our blower, and it's nice to have the ability to cut off 6" and even bigger limbs. ... We haven't used it a lot, but what we have cut with it has been easy to cut, and it's been super convenient to use this thing - quiet, cool, and smoke-free too. ... "

" ... Did the job with one 40v 2AH battery which still had substantial power to spare when I was done, What a great little machine. ... I have 3 2AH batteries and had ordered a 4AH which arrived today. ... "
" ... I have now purchased a hedge trimmer which uses the same battery. ... One battery with three tools. ... "
" ... The chainsaw is light enough for me to handle safely and the battery has outlasted the work I have had so far. ... "
" ... So far battery life has been good enough for my purposes. ... "
" ... Once you buy the batteries and charger that is all you need to run them ... "

" ... I used it to cut-up a large fallen leader, made about 30-40 cuts on 7-10" diameter maple, no issues at all. ... "

" ... No it won't fell a redwood, but this beast is surprising for it's size. ... "
