    I finally got to get the videos... I really like this little saw... it’s got plenty of guts behind it for the smaller stuff. It’s light and quiet... I thought about getting the bigger one like hovlandhomestead but chose not to do to not liking the balance vs. the balance of this smaller one.

    I like it. Sounds just like the pole saw i bought last month. Mebbe i can find a cheap used one. How many cuts did you get with one charge Chvymn99 or did you keep track?
    How many batteries do you have? I have three, but I use them on a fairly regular basis, so they're not as good as new.

    I use the 60 volt flex battery... I’ve got 3 of them... they last amazingly well in my mind.

    Is the saw a 20 volt model or 60 volt?

    20 volt... but the 60 volt is a flex battery... it can be in both applications.

    I just watched a video and it warned about using the 60volt flex in 20volt max tools. Showed an impact driver and recipro saw being used then were ruined as a result.
