I think its for sale now . Was wondering how it performs only using a 18 volt platform.
I was looking at them and their m18 electric hedge trimmer. Too bad the electric saw isn't a top handle I'm all stocked up on m18 power tools......
I would have bought an m18 top handle for sure.
Stihl and Husky make battery powered tophandled climbing saws. I think Oregon does too. Might be worth checking out if you do a lot of climbing.I would think a battery powered top handle would be awesome. I've never counted how many times I've started a saw while up in the air, I know I'd lose count. Believe it or not, I shut the saw off more so because I can't stand listening to it. I think it would work well for climbers as well, quart bottle of oil and a couple spare batteries means you don't have to ground yourself or the saw to refuel. Then again, I do find it refreshing to put my feet back on the ground every so often.
I’ve ordered a lot from toolbarn.com. They have most m18 stuff.I've been trying to get the m18 heat gun for heat shrinking wiring, but Homeless Despot or AIH still don't have it.
If the street price is $399 I would buy a Stihl. For $299 you get the Stihl homeowner saw. For $500 + you get the Stihl Pro level saw. I have been using the Stihl homeowner version for a year and am super happy with it.

6Ahr @ 36v ('40 volts') = 216WhrFWIW...the Oregon cs300 battery pack that is 6. AH , cost $200 by itself and it only has 1/2 thr AH of the m16 battery pack.
Yes, same capacity....but one operates on 18 volt and the other on 40 volt. This SHOULD result in a difference in performance in regards to speed of cuts and/or ft lbs of power the brushless motor can deliver.6Ahr @ 36v ('40 volts') = 216Whr
12Ahr @ 18v = 216Whr.
Same capacity.
If you are already invested in the Milwaukee tool system, the batteries are 'free'.

Makita and Husqvarna make battery powered, top handled chain saws. Neither STIHL or Oregon currently offer one to my knowledge.

They don't trust us? Or our lawyers?Stihl's is the MSA 160 T, not available in the states.
If you check the HD site online you can see if any local stores have it in stock.Stopped at a Home Depot tonight. They had a Milwaukee 18V string trimmer, but did not know if / when they would get the chainsaw in that store.
