Iooks pretty awesome. But it's insanely expensive too.

Only 15 minutes of run time per charge too. It's a beastly tool and probably you could use one in a lot of commercial situations where you can't have a gas engine like most cut off saws.

That thing looks awesome. Stihls always expensive.

may not be crucial in all cuts but nothing worse than starting and stopping during a cut.....for safety and for time.......25 mins per battery seems to be a minimum especially if your using it often on a job site........

i have used their lithium-ion chainsaw, all i can say is it has surprisingly a lot of power.

For $600.00 not a bad price but the run time is way too short. You would either have to have a small job or a bunch of charged batteries.
