I've been using ego since 2021. Started with the 14", now I mostly use the 21" commercial. Fantastic tools.

The batteries are expensive, but come with a 3 year warranty.

I also use the blower, commercial pole saw and hedge trimmer, brushcutter and strimmer, all brilliant.

If you want to know anything specific, ask away.

Husqvarna battery kit for me.

Stihl MSA are great and the battery fit across a wide range of other power tools

Milwaukee with the double battery is a beast

My petrol one is cordless. I can recharge it in 2 mins.

No but been using a Makita 36v for past 3 winters logging… brilliant saw. Good backup for the Sthil.

I’ve got 3 Husqvarna petrol saws (562,346,353) but was looking for something to keep in the back of the truck to clear the inevitable wind blow across tracks without having to carry petrol etc and avoid carcass contamination.

Do you get funny looks when you use it to trim rafter feet up on trusses???
One developer said, "I've seen every 'effing thing now" ... It was all corbelled brickwork, so all the timber was hidden... I thought I'd give it a go .

Not often but yes.

To be honest, if you've already got a rechargeable battery system, you may as well stick with that. Makita, parkside and plenty others do chainsaws that will do the sort of work you're describing.

You need a minimum of a 5ah battery if you're going for ego, which isn't cheap and if you aren't using it regularly, it won't last far beyond the warranty period.
