Get the Chinese one, I have one without auto oiling and it does the job pretty good.

(If you have the option), definitely go with the M18 over this, cuts 3x as fast, easily twice as strong, doesn't jam, battery seems to last forever
The M18 is unbelievable, I've taken down 14 inch trees and chopped them all up with great speed
I'd rather have a corded saw and a 100 foot cord if I was doing a bunch of stuff.

But that being said this is not a bad deal of course, if you need the batteries and the charger and you don't do that much tree work this will function for you

I bought this saw this spring and it is a beast for its size. I've cut down 8" trees with it. Highly recommend.

Depends on your use I suppose. I have a full size chainsaw for cutting large stuff. My 6" m12 is perfect for one hand limbing and cleanup afterwards. I love mine.

I have to disagree. I have this saw and very well pleased. Plenty of power with a 4ah battery and very comfortable to use.
I paid $132 tool only, so with two 5ah HO batteries included here this is a great deal

Quote from FeistyHerring3631 :
I paid waaay less about 2 years ago...this thing is handy but SUPER dangerous, like a short barreled rifle watch where you put your hand!!! I swapped on a 12" bar and with the same number of cutters, to me it seems alot safer.
Yeah and you can mash your finger with a hammer too. All chainsaws are dangerous and this one is not a toy. Use with all the same safety procedures as you would a larger saw

I have the 8in M18 hatchet and it's great. I've taken down trees with it. Don't get the 6in. It's just not big enough to get the job done.

Looks like you can get the M18 version with three additional chains for $187 if you hack it.

How does this compare to a reciprocating saw? I got the one handed brushless m12 a couple weeks ago.

If you dont have many limbs to cut the recip would work ok..rememeber chainsaws take chunks of wood out while a recip takes dust out

These are perfect if you have a small job but still want to risk cutting off your finger!
