Well I bought this around three months ago and Mother Nature deposited a half a tree in my yard during last week’s storms. I threw bar oil in it and away I went. It was great not wearing myself out getting my gas saw started and it was so nice cutting and setting down the saw to get limbs out of my way and instantly cutting again. I’ll give it an A plus for being well under 100.00 item.

I have an electric pole saw I bought there. Had it several years now. It's a bad little beeotch. I love it mainly because I've only charged it maybe three times in the over five years I've had it. I can go out right now and hit the trigger and go. My ONLY complaint is it slowly leaks the bar and chain oil out and I've not been able to stop it. I just make sure it's full before I use it.
 
I had a Worx 14" for a long time.

Cut down/cut up three dang near 100 foot tall 16-18" trees after the four hurricane 2004 season.

Finally burned it up cutting down a tree that was WAY too big for it.
It did it but it smoked a little and locked up after the last cut.

5 years ago the across the street neighbor sat a 16" McCulloch (yeah) out by the curb.
I grabbed it and it worked for about a year.

Last summer, I lucked into a Worx real similar to the one I had in '04 for $18 at Salvation Army thrift.
Pretty stoked about that.

Someone on the Harbor Freight Facebook group said the Worx brand is made by a major tool company. I want to say Milwaukee but Dont hold me to it. I’ll keep my eyes open for that post.

Ok I think I’m wrong. I tried to find the post and couldn’t but I did find the name Hart (Walmart brand) and may be thinking of that. Here’s what I found on a quick Google search.

I have an EGO brand I bought from Lowes a couple years ago. A couple of my neighbor's trees fell on my property and I helped cut them up. It has a 5 amp/hour battery and went all day on the single charge. It cut like a hot knife through butter. I was surprised it lasted that long but after I thought about it, I was only cutting for a few seconds at a time so it wasn't running constantly. Another plus is the different EGO batteries all interchange. If my 7.5 amp/hour mower battery doesn't quite last for my entire lawn, I just pop in the chainsaw battery to finish.
