I love this little saw, it is tough and makes work on my 3 acres so much easier

Cuts well. The chain needed sharpening fairly quickly but it is fantastic. Would have given another star if the battery lasted longer. Safety switch is cumbersome to use

Has lots of power to cut through any job you need it for

I do tree pruning and removal every day. I had low expectations and honestly just wanted something comparable to my silky handsaw. No matter how good a handsaw is it still requires you to put in effort. This m12 hatchet is not only effortless but also well made and has almost as much power as a small gas saw. It feels so much easier on me to reach for this saw, check battery and go to work. Versus lifting a gas saw and then trying to start it. They’re good but after some time they develop fuel issues that lead to no start/shutting off randomly.You will need 4.0 battery or more to really get some decent run time but 2.0 will work for a very limited time. After a week of use I’m buying 2 of the m12 5.0 high output batteries. Should get me through most of the day or about 5 or 6 pruning jobs cutting small limbs and 3in to 4in limbs.The cons i can think of with this saw is that there’s no intelligent system that detects kickback. Not that it’s much of an issue with this saw but I think if you’re not going to have a chain brake at least have some kind of safety that gets triggered by inertia. Also be careful or just don’t cut with the top of the bar. The saw bar is just not long enough to perform well that way. It will jump around, leave a bad cut and increase kickback chances. Remember this thing cut through wood, it will hurt you badly. Keep your distance.

I love this chainsaw! It’s easy to use and maintain. As a divorced 50 year old woman, I have used this a ton.

If an expert on power tools is a 5, a knowledgeable person is a 4, followed by a novice, a relatively dumb person, and a danged fool, this review is being written by a 1. This particular tool is built for the fools in life, because its fixable. If you have any experience with power tools at all, you know that no matter who makes the tool, it’s going to fall apart and break down, depending on what you demand of it, or how long you own it. This particular tool is so fixable even a fool can do it. The chain will fall off, and when it does, Milwaukee provides the tool. I’ll bet I have this tool fixed in under two minutes. Other than that, if you’re doing some longer jobs, bring oil with you. It burns through oil quick, and you don’t want that blade cutting without oil. Also, I’m guessing only a fool wouldn’t know that the battery indicator light doesn’t work, unless its engaged. I didn’t think the indicator light worked at first, but when I engaged the motor, it worked! Finally, one huge piece of advice I will pass along is don’t “dirt it”. Cut at an angle that keeps it out of the dirt. Keep that chain clean and oiled up. I have the battery life at about an hour of constant usage. Not great, but it will get all those small jobs done. One other note for those buying this for the fool they love, you have to buy everything separately. The battery, the battery charger, and the oil are all sold separately. The positives outweigh the negatives of this otherwise fantastic product. I watched videos on this product, so I knew all this going in. If you do too, you’ll likely consider this a five-star product.

I’ve only had this for a few months and absolutely love it! I’m a woman without much upper body strength and a husband that won’t trim bushes and trees when I ask. So now I can do it my darn self! Even my daughter used it to cut small trees. I’ve cut several trees that were much larger diameter than recommended. It cut like a champ. You need to fill up the bar oil after every 2 batteries. I saw my husband grab this instead of his Stihl. I said, “hey, don’t touch my chainsaw dude!” Haha.

cool saw..works well and very handy especially if you already have 12volt batteries. The trigger safety is a bit annoying but wouldn’t want people cutting their hands off accidentally.
