I spoke to the local Ace guy and he recommended Stihl will have a new line of Battery saws next spring, and suggested to keep an eye out on their website for the updates he has heard are coming.
I am on the fence currently, would go Dewalt but haven't a warm and fuzzy that the o-ring fixes the oil leak. If it was that easy, why did it take so long to implement it. Mot all negative reviews are for the oil problem. I would go with the 20v and use my existing batteries.
The oil leak really isnt that bad, just have to remember to lay it on its side. A lot of the reviews sounded like a lot of folks tried to overtighten the cap and made things worse.
While I havent used mine a constant 30 minutes non stop....I used it all weekend clearing 1in to 5in stuff around the perimeter of the yard, I'm sure I hit the trigger hundreds of times and when I went to charge it still had some left.
