    A mate of mine has one of those baby pruning saws, it really kicks arse. Perfect for pruning in the orchard. I've seen him cut 4 inch thick branches with it and it rips through it no worries.
    From memory a new chain is about $16ish

    I have one for stealth track maintenance and it's awesome. One handed fits in your pack, but light duty only - it's plastic and the battery is tiny. But it's more capable than I thought and ideal for the little jobs - the proper saws stay in the shed more now. Don't get one expecting to cut firewood tho.

    Yes, handy for small shit but after 30 years prof. pruning these are more efficient and battery doesn’t run out. Silky 300 saw, slightly shorter model is goo too.

    The gomtaro with 300 mm curved blade is faster with less effort than the straight blades too

    Don’t drop them on your leg, 11 identical perfectly spaced cuts all competing to turn your sock red (don’t ask )

    My chainsaw team - well, the wee GTA 26 is officially my wife's tool. It kicks arse and a lot of fun too.

    The 230 I got brand new for a really good deal about 18 months ago. It gets used on an almost weekly basis around my block. Love it.
    The older 390 only come out for the bigger stuff. Use to be my only saw but only gets used a few times year now when we drop a bigger tree.

    Yes for about a year.

    Probably one of the best all round saws Stihl has ever made imho. For its role its perfect.

    Do Stihl run a 16in bar for this saw. Can only see 18 and 20.
