My wife wanted a saw for small jobs around the yard, this is perfect for it. Only issue is the battery life is short, so have extras ready if you have a lot to do. No cords to deal with, cuts well and easy to handle.
It is great for trimming branches because you don't need to keep it running. batteries. May sure you have a couple lith. I have a gas powered chainsaw, but find this product has many practical uses. It does a great job. They last about a half hour with this tool. I have had it 2 weeks and have used it 5 times.
Anything thicker than a few inches, you might as well use a hand tree saw. For the price, it's hard to complain too much, but I was hoping for a touch more power. This saw is good for quick cuts of small branches, but it just can't handle anything larger than that. It is what it is.
I have two of these (I guess I was so impressed by the first). depends on the age of the battery: if the battery is say three years old it may indicate that it is fully charged but it won't run this saw very long. No trouble in quickly dropping a 12 inch oak tree. Battery life.
Anyway, as long as you know its limitations (this isn't a heavy duty tool) then I have no problem recommending this little saw for lightweight work.Updated 08-04-2009: It turns out that I like this little saw so much that I ordered a second one. With the newer Ryobi bats this little saw can chew threw 10" trees. I have been quite pleased with this little tike. Granted that size tree does take a bit of time. Its performance is pretty amazing considering how small and lightweight it is.
