 Electric or not, this is a killer chainsaw June 4, 2008

A few years ago one of our large mature honey locust trees (50'+ tall) fell onto our house during a pretty ferocious windstorm. Unfortunately for us we didn't own a chainsaw, but our neighbor had this little monster and boy was it a lifesaver!
We were outside cutting the tree off the house for a good six hours straight and this thing didn't slowdown the least bit. Not once did it bog down or couldn't make it through the hard wood of the locust.
The size of the saw was perfect, compact enough to get into a lot of tight spots, but large enough for the big branches.
The other nice thing was that when you released the trigger the chain stopped spinning pretty quickly, unlike a lot of gas and electric chainsaws I've used. This is especially great when you are dangling off a ladder/halfway up a tree and using the chainsaw one handed, it makes it a whole lot safer and reduces the chance and likelihood of accidents.
This brings me to another thing I like about it, it's fairly lightweight BUT has exceptional build quality, especially for the price (which was surprising)! Again not once during the six hours of constant use did I feel like it was unsafe or was going to break, it's built solid!
Of course a saw is only as good as it's chain, so keep it sharp and this baby will continue to run like a champ.
Whether you are pruning dead branches, removing unwanted growth, or taking down an entire tree, this saw will deliver unsurpassed performance year after year.
So to recap...
Pros:
Lightweight
Exceptional build quality (built like a tank)
Consistently performs without hesitation, even after hours of constant use
Electric, so no mixing of oil and gas (yeah!)
Fiberglass extension pole provides safe and secure trimming, even when fully extended
Cons:
It's electric so during a blackout it's worthless (duh)
Small chain oil reservoir requires you to stop and fill it up more often, not a huge problem just something I thought I should mention
