All I hoped it would be
Having desired a pruning saw of this type for a while, this was really a no brainer for me as all the Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools I own are of the finest quality and workmanship. The power is as good as any small gasoline powered chainsaw, has a proper chain adjuster and a positive automatic oiler with good capacity. The saw chain is commonly available for replacement. I used this unit for several hours on a single charge of a 6.0 battery. The variable speed action is nice and 1 hand operation is possible because the weight is low and well balanced. The safety catch for trigger operation works easily for right and left handed people, something you don't find on a lot of tools !Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's a dangerous toy, not a tool
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Must have tool.
This tool is fantastic. You can hold branch with one hand, cut with tool in other hand. Cannot do that with larger chainsaw, loppers, etc. The high speed and power of the tool cuts 6” limbs, and would cut over 200 2-3” limbs before needing recharged. Also, extra chains are inexpensive if willing to hunt for good deals.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great pruning chainsaw
I've used it a few times now and looked at competitors models and by comparison the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hatchet is a real tool among toys. It has more than three times the torque which equates to cutting speed. Yes, it is heavier than any of its competitor models, but it is built like a real tool, not a toy. The auto oiler works great and the saw controls are easy to use. Great tool and well worth the extra price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great lightweight saw
This is the perfect saw for cutting small trees or branches. I use it primarily for Buckthorn control It works great. Cuts way better than the cheaper generic brand that I have used in the past.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Small easy to us saw
Typical Milwaukee quality. Product was received in perfect condition. So far it has worked just fine. Great for trimming small branches. Much easier and safer than using a chainsaw. Only time will tell just how good it is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This tool is excellent. I use Milwaukee cordless tools the most. The M 18 is my go to. I really like this compact "hatchet", it is so much easier to use on medium diameter trunks and branches. And if you have to climb to make a cut, this is so much nicer than hauling a full size chainsaw. This vendor is very good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

One hand light weight chainsaw
This is a great light weight tool. Easy to use one hand while using your other hand to hold the item you are cutting or yourself in place. Lots of power and doesn't use battery too fast.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for difficult position limb trimming
I purchased this tool for pruning high limbs on live oak trees. It allows one handed operation so I can hold on to the ladder or the tree while I cut limbs. I have large hands and the safety is a little to activate and squeeze the trigger at the same time when cutting in odd positions. It cuts well for a 12v tool. I have. a 36v chainsaw as well as 2 professional gas saws so this is a specialty use for me. It does a good job on up the ladder limb trimming with little fatigue.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
