Pros & Cons
Pros
It's a little heavier than you might like. For very large and thick trees 3-4 foot in diameter. For lighter use like limbing a whole 60-70 ft tree, it runs great.
The adjustment tool is in the handle, so it is a quick adjustment and get back to work. That leaves one hour for hauling, stacking, and taking a break.
When you are not cutting, when you are trying to get around some rough terrain like steep sides of a gully, it's off completely and safely. The ability to just squeeze the trigger and cut without starting is under appreciated.
Cons
Good at first especially for cutting limbs off trees but as soon as you get into larger more difficult hardwood trees the battery dies quickly. For heavy cutting, the battery only lasts about 10 minutes. Three cuts through 18 oak at best on one charge... Read More

Price
Black friday deal make it a no-brainer for me.
Great to cut with zero fuel cost.
I should have bought two during the sale!
Batteries with longer runtime are very expensive.
Shipping
Sold by and shipped from amazonf them
Competitiveness
This works every bit as well as any gas chainsaw i have used that was of a comparable size.
So i found the exact same model from greenworks (who made the kobalt one) and it's just as good as her kobalt.
I have been switching brands over to these 80v tools.
