Quality Chainsaw at an Affordable Price

Bottom line up front: This is an excellent, high performance saw at a very reasonable price. Build quality is much better than expected for a lesser-known tool company. Battery life is more than adequate, and the saw cuts quite large trees with very little effort. Also, it's very quiet with comparable performance to a gas powered mid-range model. Unless you're professionally logging, this should be all you need. The only reason I dropped a star for value is because a spare/replacement 4Ah battery costs about 2/3 of the tool with battery, and although I'm contemplating upgrading my aging Black and Decker 20V yard tools to some of the other WEN 40V yard tools, they only come with that 2Ah battery (except the mower, which I don't need). I bought this chainsaw in response to a giant tree of heaven that fell from my property onto my neighbors after our last big storm. The tree was probably about 40-50 feet long, with several 12" or so thick trunks. I charged the battery fully before use, and spent approximately 10 minutes setting up the saw and adding oil, in no rush whatever. Super easy, and although not necessary for me, it came with one of the best-written manuals I've seen in a while for an inexpensive tool. I took it out back the following morning (today) and proceeded to chop over half the mangled mess of tree into manageable firewood lengths in about an hour. The saw easily took less effort and time to operate than moving the wood. The battery read half charge by the time I cleared the 30 or so feet that I was removing from the neighbors lawn and decided to call it quits. Very satisfied with my purchase so far. Side note: doesn't quite have the same effect as the gas powered models when you chase people around with it. Oh well.
