After using this for a few weeks it's my favorite new pruning saw, here is a detailed review.
I run the Oregon R34 8" chain, it cuts a bit faster than the DeWalt chain: https://amzn.to/3Xn9gPv
If you do not like the bar with the tip guard then you can remove the tip or use the DeWalt bar without the tip guard (DWZCSB8 ): https://amzn.to/3XrHC3M
Manual for the saw is here: https://www.toolservicenet.com/i/DEWA...
