Pros

- Fast 25 m/s chain and 2.3 HP peak power for hardwood limbs up to 9 in by Milwaukee’s figure
- Large 12.0 Ah battery included for long working sessions
- Captured bar nut and onboard scrench make field chain changes easier
Cons
- Heavy at 19.4 lb with the battery, so it is tiring to hold overhead
- Expensive, and the Amazon listing is from a third party seller
- Milwaukee states only tool length, not overhead reach
