Powerful. It bites well on damp wood. You can still hold it with one hand if you really need it, but it's uncomfortable. With a near-maximum load, it drains a 6 Ah battery in 20 minutes of almost continuous operation. It is better to have a couple of batteries in stock. When working on a 2 Ah battery, it seems to be easier, but not much. The grip is clearly two-handed, it’s still hard to crawl into the thicket if you need to saw off something specific. For the garden, I would recommend the DCS369 + DCM565. Such a bundle is much more expensive, but both instruments are single-handed.
