Rick, I bought one very very similar to that one a little over a year ago. I hadn’t ever had anything other than the standard gas 18’ or more. These little electrics are “much” easier and quieter to use for small limbs etc. I even tried my hand at carving a “little bear” out of a log. It was a learning experience…haha. Anyway, the price was right on the little saw and I’m glad I got it. Thanks!
