I like it. My onky complaint is my lock button is goofy. I cut some 4" branches. It worked well.
I bought mine for 10 bucks out of garage sale lightly used. It looked brand new and my sister-in-law is mad at me because she didn't buy it. I got to it first. She till talks about it till today 6 years later
I have the Black& Decker gator. I really like it.
