Yard cleanup and limbing for owners building on EGO 56V batteries
CS1613 is EGO's 16-inch brushless CS1610 saw packaged with a 4.0Ah battery and standard charger. It has tool-free chain tensioning, a chain brake and an automatic oiler that must be filled before first use. EGO's page and the listing give conflicting cuts-per-charge figures, so plan runtime conservatively and buy bar oil separately.
