Style: 40V Chainsaw Kit
I bought the Black and Decker 40V Cordless 12" chainsaw to replace my wife's much older version, which is still working, but also starting to show the effects of several years of use. The chainsaw has good cutting power, is easy to use, and being lightweight means that using it doesn't cause as much fatigue as a gas-powered version. We've used the saw for cutting smaller branches, generally less than 4" in diameter, although we have cut branches as thick as 6" diameter. The saw is durable, the batteries give several minutes of cutting time each, and for most jobs one battery is enough.

Style: 40V Chainsaw Kit
I've been cutting wood, most of my life and for primary heat source. I've only ever used a very high quality gas saw, starts with an S. I've cut many trees, as large as they come, all for firewood, - fell, then took all including the tops; nothing left. I've been considering a Batt Saw for a few years and now looks like they reached a level of "real tool". I've only had B+D Batt tools for a while now, - they just seem to work and remain that way; e.g. Screw Gun 20v, Weed Wacker 40v, and not this 40v. I wondered why not 60v, but this is what it is. So, I got the one with the Batt and Charger. Right off they annoyed me since provide the Trickle Charger 400ma output, so it WILL take 4 hours to charge the 40v. The String Trimmer came with the 36-40 1.35a out which is more than 3x's this and yes, would likely re-charge in about an hour. So, plan ahead with time to re-charge or if have another Batt if needed? The quality, upon initial inspection is as - okay/good, "real - tool". (For quick jobs I have an AC Electric other which does well, lots of torque, but the 50ft extension chord unwrapping and wrapping just puts me off sometimes and then let stuff go. And for pruning, e.g. mature Plumb Tree - I thought this would work since a tight space (as trees go), lighter and not Chord pulling. A gas saw of any size, again, just a disincentive to prune. (A "Saws-all" was another option, if not for the chord, and don't want a Batt version of one of those, presently.) So, it's pretty straight forward and the booklet explains it well; and the online support I checked out for the PDF and "other" if there. "Registering" is just giving a Model and Email, - likely verified with receipt if contact directly for support, parts, etc. So, more spam I guess. After waiting 4 hours for the discharged Batt to fully charge, I popped it in and it "runs". Do check the chain tension and know that first. For me, it was to tight. You just don't want sag, firm but not tight. It will hang, stretch pretty quick, so tight - tight makes no sense for the wear on it. I was *not impressed with the "running" part, the spin seems a tad moderate speed for me, and in comparison the AC/electric or 2-stroke Gas. - However, I have not yet cut with it. I realize there's many safety issues with something like this, and no bar brake, but stops spinning when release the trigger. Eh, nevertheless a brake bar that disconnects the juice flow/off switch or actual conventional brake would be appropriate imo. So, cut properly, and to the side of "you". If have no idea, ask someone first or try a online video, etc., or call B+D for some advice. So, with that all said, I'll know in less than a minute if it properly cuts. And again, while the spin speed is a tad moderate, for "pruning" or say, 6-8" "trees", branches, it probably won't matter. I'll assume they thought that all out, and could have made it to any spec. I *will amend/edit this once I've cut with it and see it holds charge. I would be surprised if didn't allow for an hour or so of cutting. And I mean cutting, not looking at the tree for 10 min smoking a cigarette, -- cutting for an hour (like the String Trimmer). For the price, I could just as well have purchased an smallest 2-stroke Gas saw, - so price was no incentive here, - same price. I do like that they mention the preferred vegetable oil for chain lube. I'd prefer the Manual Oiler on the 40v, since may not "leak" when stored? But, it is what it is. They cite 30 weight which in the summer is "like" as one reviewer said, any cooking oil. It's not spinning fast enough to do as I've seen, - "blue" the steel bar if even properly oiled (just plain hot from 8 hour day use. So, I'll give that a shot. Otherwise your regular non-detergent general 30 weight, nothing special oil is all one needs. So, that's it for now. I'll be back, and you'll see an "edit" at the top. Far more brief - then. I hope that helps folks. Again, - don't think this is a toy, - ask someone how to cut stuff. That no chain bar brake bothers me, as commented. I've seen folks "hold on" tight, when you'd think they'd just let go, and do not. The trigger is pretty stiff with no "Lock-on" and I see why, so expect your finger to get tired! hahhh! Always a compromise.

This is my 2nd one. I bought one for myself and a few years later one for my dad. It has been a wonderful chainsaw. Just be prepared to have a lot of chain oil on hand. The self oiling mechanism seems to need to be filled every job use or large projects multiple times. Not a big deal. My dad is 79 with arthritis and this was a good replacement for him without a pull gas/oil 2 stroke saw. He had no issues using it to cut down a tree at his age that's saying something.

One thing I have to say right off is that this will not replace a gas chain saw. For bigger jobs, only a gas chain saw has the power and fuel capacity to complete a full-size tree felling and cutting up. Having said that, this is an excellent saw for smaller jobs and I just love its ease of use. In my late 50s, I don't enjoy the fight to start a gas chain saw and this electric model is just fantastic! There's little vibration and little noise compared to a gas model. You slap the battery in and go! No fuss and no pulling the starter handle X times until start on a gas model. It's a joy to use. AS you can see from the pics, I had a standing tree of about 10" which was probably a little bigger than I should have used it on, but this was a test after all. The second pic shows the tree lying on the ground. As you can see from the third pic, there was some leakage of oil over time I never really noticed until I looked down at my pants! The next two pics show the number of drums I cut on one battery charge while the last shows the diameter of the cuts I was making. The battery life was actually good considering the thickness of the tree it had to saw through and I got the hardest part done. The battery is the real constraint and wish I had bought another, but they're like $50 a piece! If my first project had been a smaller tree, it probably would have finished it. But, frankly, I would have liked to have another battery. I got a late start in the day so, by the time the battery was charged, it was getting on in the evening and I didn't finish it. I'll finish tomorrow. How does it cut? Very well, but when it bogs down due to too much pressure by me, it just quits. You just have to back off a little, start it again, and go slower. I was disappointed by how much it cut just at the same time I was impressed by how much it cut. It clearly isn't a replacement for my 18" Stihl gas powered saw, but it sure reduces the number of occasions I'll have to reach for it on the wall of the garage! One thing I need to point out is that it does not have a chain brake. What looks like a chain brake is just a hand guard. You do have to push a button on top the handle before you can pull the throttle trigger as a safety feature. Also, it uses bar and chain oil rather quickly due to the small size of the reservoir and the small amount of leakage. Adjusting or tightening the chain is very easy. It's very easy to turn the retainer screw assembly and then turn the adjustment wheel to move the bar in and out to tighten and loosen the chain tension. Be sure to check that frequently just as you would a gas model. Always use eye protection, by the way! On the whole, I'm happy with this chain saw so far. If you have the money, get a second battery! It's a good choice for small jobs and as a companion to a gas model for a second person to cut branches off or clean up.
