I personally really like the standard M18 chainsaw for small tasks and limbing. It doesn't compare with a good gas saw, but if you keep it sharp its good up to about 6" before you really notice it slowing down your pace. Just keep that in mind, its also very low maintenance so it what it loses in performance it makes up for there. And if you are going to use it a lot, if anything breaks in the first 5 years Milwaukee will replace the tool for free (even catastrophic failure as long as it wasn't abused or dropped in a lake, etc). I've taken back tools that have seen 3000-4000 hours of use (construction) and our local service centre has just handed me a new tool because it was less than 5 years old no questions asked.
