Thanks for watching and commenting. We've given it a lot of use, and have no complaints. You can certainly get by with just one battery. We have 2, but have never had the energy ourselves to continue past one battery's use.
I was wondering all winter long how useful it would be. Glad it surpassed my expectations. Thanks for watching and, as always, for your comments. I appreciate the feedback!
True, I wouldn't recommend it or any of the other gas or electric models priced at this pricepoint for commercial use. There are much larger and more sophisticated and expensive equipment for professionals.
If you want the highest performing battery saws? Either the greenworks commercial 82cs34 or the ego commercial csx5000 is your best bet. Don't buy the stihl msa 300, it's more expensive than an ms400 and almost as much as an ms462.
