Interesting. Thanks.Top handle saws are extremely unbalanced for any "real" cutting. They're lightweight limbing saws for tree climbers to use in close quarters. Easy to slip and get a hand in the chain, or nick your arms/legs. I keep my GW in my truck box, have another one in the SxS - all rear handle.
Why Choose a Top-Handle Chainsaw?

The echo is probably the best. Heard good things on ego. Buddy had milwaukee its good also.I have a little 12” 20v DeWalt and it sucks. Not enough balls to cut through oak. I need something better and more powerful. Before someone says it, I already have a big, gas pro-grade 24” Husqvarna. I just need something that rides in the truck for occasional light cutting. I’m not stockpiling cords with it. Want the most powerful electric saw without spending $500+. Any suggestions?
Which model?I love my Stihl
I have that greenworks 60v. 3 years I think, priced so cheap I thought it would be a dog. It has exceeded my expectations. Really nice in camp not dealing with the noise and gas too.
lol. I bought 2 spare chains so I’ve always got a sharp one. Takes the same battery as my mower too. Good cheap saw that just works.Agreed 100% - I too have been pleasantly surprised. Ended up buying four of them so cheap I keep one in my truck, one in the trailer, one in the SxS, and another in my gear bag. The best deal was buying one of them complete (for less than the price of the battery) that was a customer return because it "couldn't cut". The chain was on backwards.
Get the 16 inch version of that you have. That thing is a monster! I throw it in the back for my spring hunts which is a must.I have a little 12” 20v DeWalt and it sucks.
