Chainsaw Repair

Initial impressions

I like the compact shape and clean lines.  Has a quality feel.  Rubberized grip is comfortable to hold with either Right or Left hand.  The blower has a variable speed trigger; and a 'Turbo' boost feature for additional cleaning power.

Very convenient to use, especially for small, light, clean-up tasks where I would be reluctant to drag out the extension cord for my Toro electric blower. I ran around the yard and tried blasting leaves, garden beds, sidewalk cracks, etc.

Sound level was pleasantly tolerable for this type of tool, even in Turbo mode.  But surprised at how fast I used up the first 2.4Ah battery.  Circuitry prevents the blower from operating in the Turbo mode if the smallest (1.25 Ahr) battery is inserted - it will only work in the standard mode with this battery.  And as the capacity of the larger batteries is depleted, the blower may operate only in the standard mode for the final moments.

I consciously focused on feathering the trigger, instead of running it full blast, and avoided the Turbo mode unless really needed, and started to get acceptable run times, but this is a tool where you will definitely want a second battery.
