Title: don't bother with this one
Product review: I thought that this little saw would be a good alternative for a 65 year old woman who wanted to trim and/or cut down small trees. I was wrong. After charging the saw for the required number of hours, I proceeded to attempt to cut down a small dead tree. Any necessary preliminary branch trimming was done with a small bow saw, so the only cutting that this saw did was the necessary cuts to fell the tree. Well, I had to finish with the bow saw to even get the tree down because the Black & Decker ran out of juice. Granted, dogwood is pretty hard wood, but it made me think about the people who wrote the 4 & 5 star reviews on this product. Were they cutting down 1 inch pine sapplings or what? I gave it a second chance: I charged it for another 9-10 hours, it ran out of juice again after a few cuts, and I was stuck hand-sawing again. This is the first time I ever returned anything to Amazon.com, but return it I did. And, yes, it does leak oil all over the place.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
