    It's helping me cut a lot of overgrown trees that I havent been well enough to attack since middle of last year and its doing a sterling job.

    This is my 4th ozito light battery operated tool and each one comes with a 5yr warranty.

    I have 2 batteries which lasts long enough for any gardening session for me.....then you've got to clean up.

    the ice tools are gone except for the blower when I sometimes need a serious blast of air.....oh, and the ride on.
    Just been looking at them since i have other ozito tools, currently $134 skin only or i just fond one on gumtree near me for $90 2nd hand.

    I borrowed it last weekend,and it went very well.
    The batteries seem to last forever.

    The small petrol one we have probably won’t be used again.
    Yeah they're just brilliant for any small to medium sized job - can have the job half done in the time it takes just to mess around with fuel and starting.

    I think there's also a couple of 3/8" chain versions of the Stihl out now?

    I haven't got an Ego brand chainsaw but if the blower I have is anything to go buy the chainsaw would be fantastic. The blower has more grunt than my Stihl 2 stroke blower. Build is excellent as is battery life. Cheers

    Saw an ozito 18V chainsaw on gumtree for $90, asked the seller about condition and if it was still under warranty or not.He says no and it works find, i leave it a few and offer him $60 and replies with $80 cash and its yours. I counter offer $70 and he wont budge, so i check facebook and his daughter in law has listed it for $50 so i quickly go and collect

    I've never seen Stihl or Huskies second hand so I assume either - no one's buying them, everyone loves them and wants to be buried with them, or they don't survive and aren't worth selling on...?!

    Its a bottom tier item so i'm not expecting it to be great but from the reviews ive seen it will do what i want - cant lose for $50.

    Totally. Worth it for the battery.

    Had an arborist in to do some reduction pruning and deadwood removal from a couple of old gums recently. He used a small Stihl and said it was brilliant, would never go back to an IC saw again for timber up to about 200mm dia. I think the saw he used was a professional model, one hand operation and cost around $750 (skin only), battery & charger would probably add another $500 .......... so well out of my range!
    I've had no personal experience with battery operated equipment like this and that probably won't change in the near future.
