Up to 180 cuts in 10cm x 10cm cedar on a full M18™ HIGH OUTPUT™ 5.5Ah battery charge for outstanding productivity. Weighing 2.3 kg and featuring a compact design, the cordless pruning saw gives you increased control and manoeuvrability in tight access areas It’s one of the most heavy-duty handheld saws, if not THE most heavy-duty model. It’s well built, looks great, is reliable and durable, and gets the job done.

For runtime, Milwaukee tells us that you can make up to 120 cuts in 2-inch oak on a single charge of the 4.0Ah battery that comes in the kit. Paired with a hedge trimmer for branches up to 3/4-inch, a chainsaw for branches over 3 inches, and the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hatchet for everything in between, one battery is plenty to get through a full day of landscaping. What About Using a Reciprocating Saw? M18 FUEL™ HATCHET™ pruning saw delivers outstanding power and torque to cut hardwood without bogging down This mini saw is quite unique in that it has a bar and chain oil reservoir that must be topped up before use. Most mini saws require this to be done manually with a small oil bottle.Includes : 20cm (8") saw chain, 76ml chain bar lubricant, climbing scabbard, integrated lanyard loop & chain tension adjustment tool The Milwaukee Hatchet doesn’t seem to bog down as much as competing products, and the battery power looks good. It certainly gets longer run times than many out there.

This saw is fabulous! It makes cutting such a simple pleasure. It's called a Pruning saw but does far more than that. No more hand saws or SawsAll for larger branches or wood. Beats the hell out of the larger corded Homelite electric chain saw I have. There's no contest.All in all, the M12 Hatchet is a good mini chainsaw that can make pruning around the home much easier and faster. It’s great for the small stuff, and shouldn’t be used as your primary firewood saw (though I’m sure that goes without saying)! It has a 6″ blade, making it a bit bigger than most of the best mini chainsaws that tend to only have 4″ bars. One of my mini saws also has a 6″ bar, and I must say it is nice to have the extra length from time to time (I can swap the 4″ and 6″ around).
