Say goodbye to your gas chainsaw!

I have never been as impressed with a DeWalt cordless tool as I have with this chainsaw. I bought it for camping and some small backyard tree trimming projects. This thing outperforms even my wildest dreams. For comparison, I was using a 12" gas powered chainsaw that was an entry level saw. It worked pretty good, but adjusting the chain was a nightmare, it leaked oil and it just didn't cut consistently enough for me to bother using. It was more hassle maintaining it that it was using it. So, I upgraded to this beast of a tool. First off, the battery life on this thing is way better than I could have imagined. I charged it to full and was able to cut 30-40 small (3" or less) limbs off my trees in the backyard. It was still at full battery after these branches were trimmed. I then brought it camping and used it to cut firewood and it was still at 3 bars (full battery) when I got home. I still have not charged it a second time and have used it a handful of times in the yard. It is still showing 3 full bars of battery life. Well beyond my expectations. The saw is quiet, stops almost instantly when you let off the trigger and it's a variable speed trigger so you can control exactly how fast you want to chain to move. The only gripe I have with this chainsaw is that it leaks oil. I saw this as a common issue people were reporting and while some seem to not see this issue, I definitely did. I now store it vertically using the inset hole in the handle and my oil leaks seem to have stopped. It's just strange that if you store it horizontally, it would leak so profusely. This is a very minor complaint though compared to all the positives.
