I left my small gas Chainsaw in Arizona and had to trim my Palms so I went and got a Ryobi 8" Trim Saw.
because I already have the Batteries and Ryobi is not going to change the Batteries next year.
I trimmed (2) very Large Palm trees with 3/4 battery use.
It was slow going but you have to look at what it is.
The Ryobi worked real good for what it is and I think that I will use it when even a small chainsaw is to big for some stuff.
It Pisses me off when you purchase something and the company abandons it with a new model in a year or two.
Battery operated tools have become that way.
I have Dewalt 18V and I have to get after market batteries due to the fact that I do not want to replace my entier tool line when they change the Batteries.
Ryobi doesn't do that and when I need a Real hand tool I get the Pro Grade of what I am looking for and stay away from the home owner grade.
Sometimes you get what you pay for.
