Northern Industrial Pruning Chain Saw,
May 17, 2008
By FreeAgentfrom Central California
"Very handy tool. I use it when pulling out my gas chainsaw is overkill. Does a great job of cutting. I cut down small trees up to 5 inches thick. The price is okay. The battery life is terrible and for me that knocks it down to 3 stars. I would search for an alternative product before buying this again."

PRUNING CHAIN SAW,
January 14, 2008
By POLECATfrom Decatur, IL
"I have found the saw extremely useful. For some one that can't pull gas chain saws to start them.It's absolutey necessary for me to have an electric one. Find that I can trim any thing up to coupe of inches. The saw is so very handy that I bought one for my daughter."

Great for pruning,
November 5, 2007
By KMR1from PA
"This little saw is great for pruning branches that are too large for a hand pruner. I agree with the other reviewers that the batteries do not last very long at all. In addition the battery is very difficult to remove. If Northern could improve the battery life I would have given it 5 stars."

A joke,
October 30, 2007
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom Texas
"A joke of a tool (a bad one at that) Underpowered. Batteries do not last. A total waste of money. A hand saw is cheaper and faster. This is NOT a substitute for even a hand saw, much less a chain saw."

Depends what you are using it for.,
September 27, 2007
By Sierrafrom Maine
"I bought this saw with hope that it would help me with pruning and getting my kindling ready for the season. If I am not mistaken, I believe that it says that it will handle up to a 4" cut or so and although it will it takes a lot out of the battery. I was cutting oak and maple sapling poles about 3" diameter and about 15' long up into 15" lenghts for large kindling stove wood. With those 2 batteries fully charged, I could only get through 2.5 of those poles before the batteries needed to be charged overnight.
I do feel that this pruner seems to have its convenience and application, this was not it. With smaller branches it works great but like any rechargeable, you always wish the batteries could do more. With that said, in my application, I found that a buck saw and pruning clippers were cheaper, faster, and did not run out of charge.
What I have found myself using this saw for other than small pruning, is to mark logs in firewood lengths that I go back and cut with my gas chain saw. I used to use a marking crayon, but these scarfs are easier to see and just as fast."

Northern Pruning Chainsaw,
March 7, 2007
By Carolynfrom Shelby County, TN
"I love my Northern cordless Pruning chainsaw. Since I have become a little old lady, I am unable to start a gasoline powered chainsaw and do not need one that big. This is small, lightweight, easy to recharge and overall the best product I have bought of this type. I prune limbs, and small trees. I needed a cordless type since I live on a large farm and can take it wherever I need it without an electric cord.
My husband tells all our friends that no tree is safe with me and my chainsaw on a good day."
