I'm tired of my dewalt! Good aloft for little stuff. Not fun for anything larger than 8". Looking to purchase something more substantial. The stihl one at the local dealer is 499.
18V Milwaukee. It made a big difference going from the stock 2Ah batteries to a 5Ah battery. They now have High Output batteries. I have the CP3.0 and they do not disappoint. I think the XC 6.0 would rock. 8 and 12 are likely getting too heavy to want in a tree...but they would drill some holes!
