When i read the battery chainsaw review I interpreted it's conclusion as; they are good if you have 2 (or more) batteries so you can have 1 on charge while the other is in use, therefore OK at / close to home. Didn't the review mention they got 1 hours use from a battery? so if you use it in the woods you may run out of power before your 1st tea break.
Would also add that whatever saw you get, keeping it properly sharpened should reduce the amount of power/effort consumed when using it.
Hi everyone, as with others haven't read the review but I would think that they may be ok for cutting up logs in the garden but in the Big bad world of the woods most trees would laugh at a battery powered saw.
As far as safety clothing is concerned it is a must with any power tools, as a professional chainsaw user it frightens me that you can walk into any diy shop and by a 50cc chainsaw with out the right training or clothing. non of the Professional dealers I by from will let you leave the shop without seen you license although this is to cover them 99% of the time.
any how that is my two Penney worth.

Hi all Just had a chance to look at the review. I have the following observation:
1. I note that these are both top handle (tree surgery)type saws which for a Professional like me are are band for use at ground level due to the risk of kick back, although I do note that they are both fitted with a nose guard which will minimise this.
