Poor
The print quality is poor, and it produces a black line down one side of the page.

Could be a lot better
The mechanism is OK, although the softness of the inserts gets it stuck and won't advance unless it is disassembled.
The plastic tube is way too fragile.

It's a dangerous toy, not a tool
1 of 3 found this helpful I do native plant restoration projects involving forestry. Part of that project is to control small trees; else seedlings will overwhelm native annual plants critical to wildlife forage. I bought this saw to remove small trees and brush.
I do that work while wearing a backpack spray tank so that I can daub the mini-stumps immediately after the cut. I need two hands to operate the dauber setup. I don't have a third for the saw. Any forestry professional wears a hatchet in a scabbard on their hip, if for no other reason than they don't want to lose it. This saw needs one that can secure the saw to the leg but is still removable one-handed. Else every time one goes to use two hands one must put the saw down, and then go find it when that task is done. A holster for this saw is NOT an easy thing to design, but it would greatly expand the usability of the tool in the field. As it is, I'll have to start playing with a scabbard for the Stihl GTA 26 to see what I can do with it.
The second problem is chain speed. I have three other gas-powered chainsaws: 16", 36", and 60". The reason I use gas saws is that electric saws lack power. Torque X Speed is POWER. With an electric chainsaw you can have torque or chain speed, but not both.
I have a job cutting about a half acre of seedling trees. Stihl made their GTA 26 with marginal chain speed, but the battery is totally inadequate. They tried to get torque by reducing the chain to 6" to get to barely adequate chain speed that is 60% faster than the Milwaukee but the torque isn't there and neither is the battery.
The Milwaukee M18 "Hatchet" will cut a 6" branch but so what? So will my 16" gas powered Stihl MS-200T. The chain speed on the Milwaukee is so slow it hops and hangs on small branches one is holding with the other hand!!! Effectively the damned thing is dangerous doing the job for which it was supposedly designed. It's a homeowner toy, not a tool, but I wouldn't trust it in the hands of a homeowner.
Milwaukee makes great tools for urban uses, but forestry is different than construction. They need to hire or consult people who use chainsaws for a living and spend a little more energy on the whole environment of tools in use.
