Has potential but too many issues, not helped by incorrect advertising of specs.
Out of the box this little saw seems nice enough. I want to say I have experience with another Chinese pruning saw, which I purchased on Amazon, but returned because the product warranty and dealer network of the SunJoe attracted me. That frankly, is the best thing about this tool, as it became problematic pretty quickly.
The saw is underpowered, as is the 10" chainsaw I purchased, the motor does not have the power or speed to get through the worm and gear drive to give the chain a high enough speed.
A real big shock was that while the box clearly states the unit has a brushless motor, it clearly does not, having a standard brush type motor instead!
The microswitch that the trigger actuates developed trouble after a couple of days, so now the tool does not start reliably, requiring multiple clicks unti the switch finally transmits the juice.
The saw is a handsome little unit with good ergonomics, it is a shame that it has the unfortunate flaws that cripple it, and as far as the false advertising, I really don't know what else to say except that I am very disappointed.
Tha 2Ah battery came with a little tiny plug in charger that took a full 5 hours to bring the battery up to charge after being drained
Because of the flaws mentioned, I can not recommend this tool, even for occasional use, sorry.
