Milwaukee M-12 Hatchet -The First one Ever-but what can it do??

What happens here

The presenter retrieves a Milwaukee M12 FUEL Hatchet 6" pruning saw from a box in his garage. He unboxes the saw, revealing its compact form, an M12 4Ah battery, and a small bottle of bar and chain oil. He places the battery on a Milwaukee multi-battery charger to ensure it's fully charged. Next, he removes the oil cap from the saw's small reservoir and carefully pours bar and chain oil into it, noting the saw's automatic oiler but small capacity. He then examines the 6-inch Oregon bar and chain, highlighting its 'full-house' design, which features a cutter on every drive link for reduced vibration and cleaner cuts, as opposed to a standard chain with cutters on every other link. Finally, he installs the chain onto the bar and tightens it using the provided 'scrunched' tool, demonstrating how to properly tension the chain.

Goal: Unpack, charge, lubricate, and assemble the pruning saw for first use.

milwaukee sent me a new tool that i've never seen anything like before called the hatchet and it kind of looked like a joke so it just got buried in the boxes with all the other stuff the first red flag i noticed was the fact that it runs off the m12 platform which makes me question if it's going to be powerful enough to do what guys need it to do must fill with bar and chain oil before use when filled hold trigger for 30 seconds before just like most regular chainsaws this has an automatic oiler but it does have a pretty small storage tank that's a bit too full oh no dang it [Music] now this runs a six-inch oregon bar and chain but if you look closely at that chain you may notice that they've done something a little bit different with it really light my understanding is there's something special about this chain i'll look into that now if you look closely at that chain it uses a full house chain with a cutter on every drive length as opposed to a standard chainsaw which has the cutter on every other drive length now according to milwaukee's press release they're doing this to reduce vibration and to provide cleaner cuts that black tool is called a sketch and that gives you access to the chain and also the ability to tighten it when you need to okay all right pretty straight forward let's go check test it out good
