My gas chainsaw finally died, so I was in the market for a new chainsaw. I needed a chainsaw for the occasional use of trimming branches and cutting up limbs. Getting out the gas chainsaw to use three or four times a summer was always a chore, especially if the gas oil mix in the chainsaw was bad, or the chainsaw was difficult to start and keep running. The idea of a battery operated chainsaw was appealing to me as long as it had enough power to do the cutting I wanted it to do. I watched a lot of YouTube videos comparing different saws and decided to go with the EGO 14 inch chainsaw. Really liked the design, the weight balance, the 14” blade vs 12” blade, and the power it seem to have over some of the other chainsaws I looked at. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I used it all afternoon the other day, and it was great. I had a fire going out back, and had a big pile of branches and limbs that were on the ground and needed to be cut-up. I cut up some limbs, put the chainsaw down to move the limbs over to the fire and stack them in a pile, and then cut some more limbs. I did this for a couple hours and it was great not having to keep the chainsaw running the whole time, or having it die out on me, and have to restart it over and over and over again. I would highly recommend this chainsaw.
