*it was only a cordless one this time, but I was mega impressed with its performance.  Impressed enough I considered buying one, but not worth it for the very limited use I have for one. It was a 12V Milwaukee one I borrowed from chrisgixer. 

I used to have a Makita 36v chainsaw and found it to be very good, nowhere near the oomph of a petrol Stihl, but TBH that's not really required 99% of the time. I sold mine as no possible use case in our new place but I'd recommend them without question.

For most people, you could have the battery one out, used, cleaned and put away again before you'd mixed up some 2 stroke and tried to figure out why the petrol one wont start.

They are so good that they’ve pretty much made the other tools redundant. I would be the first to slag off battery powered tools in the past but these are awesome, and the battery lasts for ages as well. 

Yup, I was the same, but the modern branded stuff is superb.  The remaining exception seems to be lawnmowers.  I guess as they cant yet make  a decent electric mower, a cordless one is still years off.

I wasn't expecting much of this 12V Milwaukee, even knowing how good Milwaukee M12 stuff has got.  But I was very pleasantly surprised. And its only 12V, I mean how can it be that good?

Wouldn't do a big tree, but branches up to 6" it flew through.
