Bond, James Bond
Traded in my Milwaukee M18 fuel chainsaw with the big 12 MaH batteries for this refurb set. I was blown away at how much more power it has than the M18, even running the EGO stock batteries it was stronger than the M18 with the strongest m18 batteries available. At first I thought it was because the bigger bar but nope- it made more cuts on bigger logs and the battery lasted me an entire shift. It has held up great across felling 3 trees and multiple branches- I think I have about a solid 20 hours on it.
I really like the auto chain tensioner and the light is very helpful when clearing brush after sundown. Some folks don't know the flashlight has 2 brightness settings.
I am bow shopping more of the EGO lineup.
To be honest this saw may have too much power for the average homeowner. You won't encounter too many things you can't cut. I was cutting up to10inch diameter branches and plan to take down a big ol Cottonwood tree and the trunk of the oak who's 10 inch branches I was trimming back. I proudly pulled this out alongside my buddy's gas powered Stihl and made short work of a mutual friends fallen tree. I expected some ribbing but nope my Stihl buddy had compliments for the saw and said he had good experience with them in the past. That definitely bolstered my confidence in the purchase!
Now I have a juiced up saw I am also venturing into some chainsaw carving- like I said- its more power than the average homeowner will ever require which makes me happy.
