    Ran well until it got warmed up and then started to hesitate at wot.
    Opened up the high side a bit and then tweaked the low side open as well. After that it ran well.
    This thing is kind of heavy but has plenty of power to get through some good sized limbs.

    The little brush cart came in handy to get the branches to the burn pile.

    Nice that you tweaked it to get it working well. Handy tool they are. I have a Dewalt 20 volt battery one. Dont use it often but great tool when i d use it. Have a small job coming up where ill use it.

    I needed to trim a few branches and since I already have a few Bauer tools from Horror Freight, I picked up their 20volt pole saw on sale for 79.99. Have used it way more than I thought I would and so far it has done well. Lasts quite a while with a 5 amp/hr battery. Pretty handy to have around.
