New Husky Climbing Saw

I wish I could find the video that was posted here, it was pretty good. That little saw is pretty aggressive with good battery life... I wish it was available in the US, I'd like to try it.

I'd like to watch you try it, then decide to get it or not over a ms 192. They seem to be in the same price range.

It doesn't compete with a gas powered saw, but it's a good mid range tool that would save some carpal tunnel and arthritis!

By no means was I compairing the two in performance, just in price.

I'm really considering buying this saw or the 334T.

Battery life is about 40 4 inch oak branch cuts per battery.
Chain speed is 5 meters per second, so that's about a quarter of the 20 meters per second of a MS200.
It's 18 volts and does the trick for me while pruning big deadwood out of a tree. The weight is 2.6 kgs.

or you could try the Black&Decker 18volt one.

I was at my dealer a few times this week. I pick my self up a new 346xpne and I was handeling the husky new climbing saw. Nice and light seems well balanced. I am not a climber but i do like a nice top handle.
