How interesting to see this thread surface. I finally broke down and ordered one on Sunday. It will use the same battery that my mower, weedeater and leaf blower take. I am anxious to get it but probably won't use it much till the weather cools down again.

Do not forget, the only way any chainsaw works well is with a sharp chain.
I do not know if there is a selection of chain styles for those small ones but getting the the style that fits your cutting is the second most important choice.
As far as pole saws, heavy, but not so heavy you cannot lift it, as the weight of the saw, not pushing down on the saw, makes quicker better cuts.
