ECHO 58 Volt 16 inch Chain Saw is an excellent buy!!
I have used gasoline powered chain saws all my life, and like most people have had to deal with continuously tearing apart the carburetors and cleaning them to get the saws running each season. I decided to try this ECHO 58 Volt chain saw. This is a fantastic saw; cuts through any type of wood like butter, The bar and chain are a bit thinner than most gasoline powered saws, but it doesn't affect the function. I wish they supplied 2 batteries at a reasonable price, so I could be charging one while using the other one (right now a second battery costs almost as much as the saw - about $179.00). For continuous cutting, the 4 amp battery lasts about one hour, so if you had two batteries, you could cut continuously all day long (battery recharges in about one hour). If you are just trimming and then cleaning the trees/limbs (not continuously cutting logs), this saw can last you all day with the one battery. Bottom line: I love this saw and I'm glad I purchased it. I'll likely eventually buy another battery for it.
