Which is a $400 - $500 saw depending on the battery size.

How is the vibration control on your electric saw? That was a huge difference I noticed between the Husqvarna saw I bought to take town 3 large trees in my back yard and the cheap craftsman saw I borrowed to finish the job. I cut almost all day with the Husqvarna with no ill effects. The Craftsman made my hands tingle and start falling asleep in 15 - 20 minutes.


(The Husqvarna saw leaked all of the bar oil out overnight sitting on my workbench. I took it back looking to exchange it, they insisted I had to return it, I was 95% done with the job so I didn't buy another)
