Very impressed with the saw. It does more than I expected and works for longer. Would not consider a petrol machine for our (large) garden. This machine goes well with other 36v garden machinery. Service from Tooled Up also excellent.

Only had this machine for a couple of weeks so can't at this point give 5 stars all round thus the four stars. However, so far it has been great to use without all the hassles and noise of a petrol chainsaw. There is trade off in the power but for the works that I carry out in the garden it is ideal.

Bought to replace my old mains 12inch B&D chainsaw. This battery version clearly wins as no trailing leads etc but does lose in terms of its power. The battery version does a great job lopping branches up to 10cm diameter but struggles with branches bigger than this. The build quality looks very good, with a nice oregon chain and bar and the 'no tools' chain tensioning a big plus. Battery life is reasonable (around 30min continuous use for me) and charging is quite fast but a second battery would be ideal if longer jobs are planned. So far so good and hope it matches the 30 years my old B&D chain saw lasted.

Very pleased with this product. Good, efficient cutting and light and easy to handle. A full charge can easily provide two wheelbarrow loads of small logs for a wood burning stove. We already had the Black & Decker 36V strimmer (also very good), so quite advantageous to share the two batteries. A bit plasticky, probably wouldn't stand up to professional use, but fine for domestic purposes.

Pleasantly surprised at the performance, obviously cannot be compared to a powerful petrol chainsaw, but is really convenient for any small jobs. Light to handle, just switch on and go. i got a second battery and because of the short charge time it is possible to get virtually continuous use. only reservation i have is there is no chain brake,perhaps less necessary with a cordless electric saw.

A solid bit of kit.When first used i thought this is a bit limp compared to my corded chainsaw but nevertheless it cut a full wheelbarrow of 3 inch logs on less than half a charge. chainsaws can be dangerous to use but with this one i felt very very safe and would not argue if my wife wanted to use it! at my suggestion one of my buddies bought one as well and he is still talking to me !.
