Yeah, I wouldn't wanna do a lot of limbing with it. I'll reserve it for the big stuff & do the light work with smaller saws. Did some more light work with my recalled Kobalt 12" chain saw & 8" pole saw, today. Both worked great.

Still lookin at saw reviews & videos.

Thinkin more now about cheapin out & going with the WEN. It's only about $160 + tax. So, if my Lowes credit card will give me 20% off my first purchase with it, that'll make the total cost, with tax, less than $150.

The WEN gets good reviews.

Going by the videos, it's not anywhere near as fast as the Echo or EGO. But then, I'm not in an big hurry. Not gonna cut a load of firewood. Just clearing trails, & along our dirt/gravel road/driveway, & around the edge of our property.

This one has some weird music, so if you watch you might wanna mute the sound.

This guy said his WEN didn't leak oil, like most saws do.

Looks like this guy needed to tighten the chain a bit.
