I use a Dewalt 20v 12" for smaller limbs, a 10" 80v pole saw attachment on my trimmer for pruning and an 80v 18" Kobalt chainsaw for bigger stuff. For occasional use, I love 'em. Just keep the chains sharp, batteries charged. Less mess, less noise, less repair (so far), push a button and have at it. I'm done screwing with gas saws.
