No messing about with pull starts and petrol mix just to nip off a couple of little branches. They get in places a bow saw or loppers won't fit . A big plus is that like the rest of their battery powered kit ,it gets charged on the customer's electricity Being such a short chain and bar l would guess it does get some concentrated wear so keeping the cutters sharp is pretty important. You can start earlier too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Sayer 2,337 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I've cheap corded Titan one, it's only for down the garden for cutting up logs for log burner tbh. It's been great for the money. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aled Have been looking at getting one myself lately and if you just want to dip your toe in without spending loads these things seem to hold there own with the bigger boys, don’t bother with the real budget ones they have no safety features a lad on a boat near me bought one last year £20 new had it on his lap to sharpen the chain and the trigger just engaged under the weight of the saw and chopped a good chunk out of his leg, all chainsaws perform better if the chain is well lubed and kept sharp, I run the sharpener over mine before and after every usage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't sharpen a petrol saw when it's running so why sharpen a battery one with the battery's in FFS. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The trigger had no safety button or guard so in any situation if you placed it down it would engage so yes I would blame the saw, I know there is a lot of user era with chainsaws which is why they need to be idiot proof or licensed to some degree Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmad riley 1,343 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Milwaukee 14" great bit of kit. Cut 100s of logs and doesn't mess around straight through. Quite and lasts a good while on one 12Amp/h battery 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
