POWERFUL BUT NOT FLAWLESS
on June 14, 2023
Posted by: bruce548
This little chainsaw is a workhorse that will cut powerfully with its long-lasting 4Ah battery. But it is not without flaws. The fact that the chain oil leaks if not stored just right (the orientation of which is not mentioned in the owner's manual) is annoying. It took me a while to figure out that if I stored it so the oil fill cap is on the bottom, it will not leak unless newly filled. Also the bar clamp has a tendency to come loose during operation, and THAT is a safety hazard and could damage your chain or drive if not noted early. I've learned by the sound of the chain that it is loose, and I'm right 95% of the time. I bought a second battery, and the battery will fully charge by the time my first battery is exhausted. Also, the "kit" doesn't come with a chainsaw file. What the heck? Overall, I'd give it 4 stars, pleased with the performance, annoyed with the maintenance.

Very tough little saw. Managed to cut some very big logs with this saw, but it takes a tole on battery.
For logs up to 10 inch in diameter, I would definitely recommend.

Very powerful chainsaw for its size. Did not have any issues cutting anything I tried to cut. Battery lasts for a surprisingly long time while cutting.

It seems to be working really good so far. Have used it to trim back some branches on the trees on our property. And also a couple small trees and where growing in the wrong spots to let grow.

Works well with reasonable battery life. Cut down a medium size plum tree with branches 10+ inches with 1+ charge. Full re-charge in about an hour. One issue is the switch/trigger is either on or off, unlike a gasoline saw where one can vary the chain speed. Not for industrial use but plenty adequate for a home owner. Would buy again.
