I'm pushing age 80, and over the years, have had many chainsaws. To cut branches, I have always had to use my big, gas powered saw. Then, they came out with the battery operated chainsaws, so that is where I went. Then, this little chainsaw....so little, and SO powerful! I attempted to buy the "deal" of one of these little saws from online sellers, only to find out that they were a scam, just selling either a tiny hacksaw, or a chain, with a fabric handle on each end...something I would call "bait and switch". So, I finally went to my reliable seller, Amazon, and got this little saw. I got this one as it had the strongest battery, two of them, too. I just cut through a big bunch of tree limbs that are always falling out of my sycamore tree. A great little saw for this old lady!
