  • Great portable saw
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
Fantastic little saw. Cuts well and a portable saw is something every guy should have in his tool shed. This fits my denali batteries which is why I bought this brand and they make great tools. Worth the buy. I recommend getting Dewalt organic chain oil, doesn't smell and works great. Its pretty quiet and no ear pro needed in my opinion. ... show more

  • Solid performer, cuts most small limbs like butter, long battery life
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
Very impressed by this well built, lightweight and powerful 12" chainsaw. Needed to clear several small trees and large shrubs and break them all down into fire logs and debris. This chainsaw tackled all the types of wood effortlessly, with girths of from one inch to a maximum of 6-7 inch trunks and limbs. The battery lasted from a full charge throughout three days working, it only needed charging after all was said and done. Easy to use, well balanced, self lubricating with a built-in chain oil reservoir, and easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble the chain and transport after use. Also has a dial to easily tighten and loosen the chain as necessary. And the safety brake between the handle area and chainsaw itself adds another level of protection to avoid accidents. Highly recommend this impressive chainsaw, it does the job and keeps on going. ... show more

  • Great chainsaw!
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
I got this to compare with my dewalt 20v 12” chainsaw. This is very comparable in feel and performance. Chain speed is about the same. Advantage over dewalt is the cost and I like the tightening setup for the bar better, the dewalt is too flimsy. Disadvantage is that you don’t have the dewalt mega batteries that probably give more power. (Flexvolt 9/12a) With the 4ah battery, I can get it to slow down in green wood, but it never stopped. Battery lasts a reasonable amount of time. I had to stop when my chain dulled, from hitting soil. You can tell your chain is full if you stop getting chips. It comes with a branded Oregon chain, see picture. It. Will fit a 16” bar, see image. Would recommend if you are using it for yard cleanup. I picked this over larger saws because it is a nice compact size that is in between a top handle and a rear handle saw. ... show more

  • Perfect for personal yard use
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
Great to use with tons of power for handling lots and lots of tree branches in my yard. My only comment is the tricky nature of reattaching the chain on the saw blade-- as a new user of chainsaws, it took a while to line things up correctly the first time. Of course, remember to remove the battery before making any adjustments to the chain! Did I forget to mention that I'm a mature aged woman? If I can handle this, you should be able-- saved a lot of money in the first year alone. I'm ordering replacement chains and chainsaw lubricating oil in advance spring since I know I'll be using my chainsaw a lot. ... show more

  • Lite Weight
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
I have 2 gas powered saws. One medium and one large 24" bar. The large one is new. I needed a larger saw for some trees that Helena blew over. At 65 I was not looking forward to limbing them with either of the saws I have. Getting a lite gas powered saw is not easy, and it is expensive. So I gave it a try. Glad I did. It is the perfect tool for limbing and small jobs. It cuts even hardwood up to 6" with little effort. I did upgrade the chain which helped also. So lite you can use it with one hand if need be. The battery also lasted longer than expected. Does not leak oil when not in use that I can see. Great addition. Was able to limb 2 20" pines with alot less effort and back strain. For the money I see it as a great value. ... show more

  • Great little saw! Easy and powerful (WITH UPDATE!)
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
So the only downside I can see is the battery. You can probably only do about 30-45 minutes of work with this. I trimmed a bunch of branches, cut 4-6 inch logs, and took down 2 trees - one of which was about 11-12 inches in diameter. Do I wish this thing had a bit more battery life? Sure. I also wish it was a 14 inch saw instead of 12. But I can also replace the bar and chain with another bar and chain from skill since they have them with the same chain tightening system on some of their other saws. I probably wouldn’t do much bigger than 14 inches though. UPDATE: Had another tree fall partially fall down in our yard. This little saw took that thing apart in a few minutes. Then the took down the rest of the tree (20 inches in diameter shortest distance by 31 longest distance - an oval tree stump). Yes it was a pain in the butt and I had to use some wedges to make sure the saw wouldn’t get stuck under the weight, but that’s a typical thing you’d do anyway when felling a tree. I did end up losing a tooth of the blade in the tree which sometimes happens. The blade is getting a touch full but that’s to be expected after several large trees cut down and parted out. I ended up putting a 14 inch Oregon bar on this as well which fits just fine. I wouldn’t go over 16 inches though, especially on hard wood. Either way, this is possible the best purchase I’ve made ever. It’s so easy and awesome to use and it’s got the torque to cut down some pretty thick and massive trees. I cut down and cut apart several 30-40 feet tall trees with thick bases. Would it have been easier with a pro or pro-lite gas chainsaw? Probably. But at 3-4 times the cost at the very least. ... show more

  • Terrible. And dangerous. Malfunctioned. Do not buy.
Style: 12" Chainsaw Kit
I ordered this small chainsaw less than 2 months ago. It was delivered on April 10th. The shipping box was DAMAGED but the chainsaw inside seemed fine, so i wasnt worried about it. In the less than 60 days I've had it, I've used it 3 times. Today i was working outdoors. When i started it, i heard a clicking sound. I turned it off, inspected it, checked the battery. Turned it back on. Made more clicking noises so i Turned it back off and changed the battery, even though it was fully charged. It immediately started smoking. Burned up after 3 uses. I do NOT recommend it. I'd give it -10 stars if i could. ... show more
