The start of a good thing
Would RecommendThe nicest thing about this chainsaw is that you pull a trigger. No pulling a cord over and over again, or adjusting the fuel ratio. Super easy! The drawback is that the battery doesnt last as long as you would like and it shuts down in the middle of a cut. The PWRCORE 40 2.5 AH battery is just not powerful enough.

Even old-school can learn.
Would RecommendI've always resisted battery powered ANYTHING except for flashlights. This little saw helped me with cutting wood for smoking with it's power and handiness. Spending $200 was well worth it.
