Stellar price. Now if only there was a way to mount it on a long pole. Although I guess it wouldn't weigh as much as a full size chain saw so climing into a tree carrying it wouldn't be too bad?
I don't understand why these 3rd (maybe 4th) party tools don't accidently make them compatible with a popular brand's battery system. These batteries are likely going to be hard to source later (heck they look annoying to source now), so no residual sales for the mfg to pad their margins with, so IMO would be a huge selling point if I knew I could use them with DeWalt / Ryobi / whatever.
This has no way to automatically oil the chain, so will burn out the bar and chain pretty fast. A person could oil the chain before use, but realistically would need to stop every 30 seconds to 1 minute and re-oil the chain. Better to buy one costing twice as much that has an oil reservoir (and make sure it works to oil).

At $15 shipped it really doesn't matter. This is almost disposable. I bought a different brand that I saw here 2 weeks ago for $22 and figure if it dies, it dies and I'll get another.

Rant aside, for $15 it is hard to beat.
Seesii can use Makita batteries. Alot of these other Amazon brands could probably as well they look the same.

As others have mentioned, apparently these batteries are Makita format even though they're usually 21v or 20v (Makita being 18v), and there's a plethora of dirt cheap tools that use these. Sometimes you don't need top quality and they get the job done. With just the mini chainsaws and cordless pruner (my favorite tool by far) they've made my yard work so much easier. I have two mini chainsaws, one 12" chainsaw, and a cordless pruner (and probably other tools), none of them the same brand, but all of the batteries are interchangeable. Ive been very happy with the value I've gotten from these tools.
Although they seem to have copied the Makita connector, I've never tried 18v Makita compatible batteries. Most of these tools are 21v or 20v. Normally you get two batteries with these tools, but they're usually only 2.0 Ah. That's how I've accumulated enough batteries. When I have bought replacements, I normally buy 21v 4.0 Ah because they work fine the generic 20v tools too.
You can find longer lasting 4.0 Ah generic batteries that have more juice for $20 or less per battery. 2.0 Ah batteries are as cheap as $10. It's pretty easy identify these batteries, https://www.amazon.com/s?k=21v+li...on+battery they all have the release button in the center and say "say compatible with 21v (or 20v) cordless power tools, or mini chainsaws, leaf blowers etc., without mentioning a brand. Obviously, if they specifically state compatible for Dewalt, Milwaukee, B&D or Craftsman or anything other than Makita, they won't work

I disagree. I've beaten the heck out of both of my mini chainsaws and they're fine and still using the original chains. I give them a shot of "Fluid Film" before use, and keep the chain properly tightened, never had an issue. Those auto oilers are overrated, and some just end up leaking.
