For people accustomed to thermal saws and seeking the same efficiency ... go your way. In fact, this tool can quickly become useless depending on the type of wood you want to cut. For the soft and fine wood, no problem, you will be able to chain the cuts, with some benefit, noise greatly reduced compared to the usual cacophony of petrol models. Similarly, cut a few branches here and there, the tool is made for it and he did not disappoint. By cons attention, as we already said several people, do not expect a lightweight, it remains a heavy tool and you need to know to master. Finally, if you need a minimum power (close to that of a thermal), forget this model, it almost never serve you. If this is a one-time use on soft wood, go there, it will not disappoint you.
