Iooks pretty awesome. But it’s insanely expensive too.
Only 15 minutes of run time per charge too. It’s a beastly tool and probably you could use one in a lot of commercial situations where you can’t have a gas engine like most cut off saws.
That thing looks awesome. Stihls always expensive.
Be interesting to see how long it takes to charge..

may not be crucial in all cuts but nothing worse than starting and stopping during a cut…..for safety and for time…….25 mins per battery seems to be a minimum especially if your using it often on a job site……..
i have used their lithium-ion chainsaw, all i can say is it has surprisingly a lot of power.
For $600.00 not a bad price but the run time is way too short. You would either have to have a small job or a bunch of charged batteries.
