    This is a great tool. It cuts fast and is very safe. Battery life is pretty good too. I bought an extra battery and am happy I did. I highly recommend it for light to medium duty jobs. It will make quick work of cutting lots of 3″ or smaller limbs and branches.

    Have badly overgrown shrubs? Want to cut up those limbs and branches from winter and windfall? Once you use this tool, you won’t know how you lived without it. Turn limbs into kindling for my fire pit. As a woman gardner, I was afraid to use a chain saw, but this tool serves as a mini chain saw with excellent safety features. Their electric lopper is on my list for next year!

    Cuts limbs, and small trees like a knife through butter. Even clears vines with ease. Cuts trees up to 4″ flush with the ground.

    When cutting trees over 3 inches or really tall trees,it’s better to cut it in two segments. Once between chest or waist level to elevate some of the weight to prevent the blade from getting stuck, then once at ground level.

    I have two of theses things. Originally bought the corded one which also works great but it hard to reach some of theses trees on my 10 acre.

    Item is very well design. The design is very simple and it is very easy to take apart and clean out wood shavings and dislodge vines that occasionaly get stuck in the blade. This tool is also tough. Before I learned how to use it right I got it wedge in a tree trunk trying to get a 4″ tree flush with the ground without cutting it first at chest level to reduce the weight. I then used a tractor to dislodge the tree which ended up bending the tip of the lopper blade. It still cut with a bent blade. I ended up sticking the bent end into a vise and bent it back by hand. Good as new.

    One charge of the battery will usually give 10-25 cuts on 1″-4″ trees or limbs. Enough for most people. You can usually buy a Black and Decker drill value set with two batteries for about $69 to give you 2 extra batteries for really big jobs.

    This is an outstanding tool for cutting branches already on the ground. With a normal chain saw you have to support the wood someway. With this, you just grab on and cut. It’s also much safer than using a conventional chain saw. You have to have both hands on the tool to run it. I normally don’t use a regular chain saw if nobody is around to help if there’s an accident, but I have no reservations of using this tool alone. I now have two of them, one cordless, and the other corded. Replacement saw chains are readily available. Jim Rossi
