    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome garden tool !, 10 Feb 2009
    Perfect for small trees and branches, (up to 6/7ins thick) feels safe, with a short cutting 'blade' and anti kick back plate mounted on end. The 18v motor feels powerful enough without being scary and is quiet, compared to a petrol motor chainsaw.It does have an oil reservoir but does not come supplied with oil which they have neglected to tell you. If you want to get started right away order some with the item.It is very light and manoeuvrable being cordless, the battery life seems pretty good for the amount of cutting you can do with one charge. There is some assembly required and can be a bit fiddly to get the chain tension right.
    I would have no trouble recommending this product. A great buy at a good price.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Battery Life Shocker, 17 April 2009
    By MacPablo (East Lothian) - See all my reviews
    I've owned one of these for about a month and while it cuts well when the battery is fresh out of the charger, I am only getting about 10 minutes of useful cutting time per full 8 hour charge. I'm only cutting branches about 3" - 4" in diameter (well within the spec) and the battery gives out after around ten to twelve cuts. I know batteries can take a while to reach peak performance, but after more than a dozen full charges I can see no sign of any improvement in battery life.
    If it doesn't improve soon it will be going back.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Value for money with a 2 year warranty, nice., 14 Dec 2008
    By shaz17 (England) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
    My husband asked me to get him this from Screwfix, they didn't have it in stock so thought I would check Amazon, glad I did, it was about £10 cheaper.
    The 2 year warranty says a lot about a company that believes in their products.
    The rechargeable battery that makes this cordless, is a good idea and all black and decker batteries are interchangeable, another good idea.
    He didn't find this heavy and also found it easy to use. He cut branches down that was about 6inches thick, but mainly smaller ones and was well pleased with the results.
    He liked the look and feel of this saw and how it handled too.
    The synopsis tells you all about the specs so will not repeat it here.
    A superb product for an awesome price.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great little cordless tool
    A little safer than a standard chainsaw and lighter. Battery life is not great but is long enough to be useful and not too long as to wreak havoc around the trees. Read more
