Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Lorkielee

I bought this for my dad to cut shooting lanes for deer hunting. He used it for the first time this week. He requested that I write a review because he is very pleased with the saw. He found a similar one at another retailer, but it was more expensive and didn't come with the battery or charger. I talked him into giving this one a try.\n\nHe said the battery life is excellent. He used it for about 30 minutes, and it cut through smaller branches without any issue. On branches a little bigger, he used it on both sides of the branch to cut through it. He used it again when he got back home for another 15 minutes, still using the same battery, and it still had life when he finished.\n\nHe loves that it is lightweight (only 2-3 lbs with the battery in it). He is in his late 70s and has arthritis in his hands, which affects his grip strength. Since it is so lightweight, it is easy for him to hold and operate. It has a manual pump for the oil, similar to the bulb on some weed eaters. You do have to pump bar oil in manually as you use it, as opposed to the fancier ones that do that automatically.\n\nHe found the chain easy to tighten, which had to be done periodically. He was able to make that adjustment with just his fingers. It comes with a little screwdriver if you prefer to adjust it with that. \n\nHe said this is perfect for what he needs it for. He was manually pruning the branches before with a hand saw and tree pruners. This little chainsaw makes that job so much easier for him, as it will have to be done yearly.\n\nHe highly recommends this saw for older hunters who have arthritis. He is very pleased with this and surprised that it works so well for such a small price. It comes with a ton of accessories and a case, so you can keep everything together. He likes that it is easy to operate and is so lightweight. \n\nMy dad is not easily impressed, yet he insisted I go in and write a review on his behalf. He is old school and has a flip phone, so there was no way he could navigate the site to do the review himself. He gives this five stars!!

Pretty darn good. I'm single and never touched a chainsaw in my life so this was definitely the right one to start off with. After about 30-45 minutes of cutting, the the chain popped off. I could not figure out how to put it back on. Most of what I wanted to cut down was done so not a big deal. A neighbor helped put the chain back on but it doesn't cut the same now or really at all. I know it's pretty common for the chain to fall off but putting it back on is tricky and for whatever reason it just doesn't tear through the trees and bushes like it did. Again, this is my first power tool and it was really cool how much that thing took out. Probably like 20 little trees and bushes. Pics show the super tiny “trees” I cut but there were much...

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Parviz

The saw is powerful for cutting smaller branches and limbs and it cuts well. I have used it twice so far and so far okay. I like the saw as It comes with 2 batteries and 2 chains as described. \nHowever it came with a small one page instruction not in English I am not sure what language it is written in?? I am familiar with chain saws so I could manage, but for a first time user it would be helpful to send a better instruction written in English primarily for safety reasons. In addition the chain becomes loose after 2 to 3 cuts of small diameter of 1 to 3 inches??

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Autumn

this thing is great. i bought 2 different brands just in case andthis one is my favorite . I did find out when I was having problems with a loose chain that there is a screw under the bar and that you need to tighten that screw. I wish I could figure out how to get replacement parts for this because the only reason why I didn't have five stars is because the bulb cap just popped off where the oil goes and now I can't find it in the leaves and I can't figure out how to get a replacement part it shouldn't pop off that easy cuz this isn't the first time it's happened

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Clyde

This is a great landscaping tool. As a 70 year old, it's so much easier and faster than using lopping shears or a saw. The fact that it comes with an extra battery replacement chain and other accessories makes this an incredible deal. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the position of the safety button and power switch, which makes it a little awkard for one hand start up operation, particularly if you have large hands. Even with that, this chainsaw is rapidly becoming one of my favorite, goto tools.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Marie

As someone with an AC joint separation injury and a neck injury, i struggle to still do what i was before. I can not use a hatchet, machete, chainsaw, or really do anything that can have an impact on my shoulder and neck unless i want to be useless for a day or two.\n\nHowever, this little chainsaw has changed this. I love it. My husband laughed when i bought it. But we decided to go out and use it and see how it fared against some trees. I tried it against a seasoned log of maple, and to my suprise, it bit right it and cut with ease. Not only that, but there was barely any vibration to it for me. My husband used his chainsaw and cut a standing dead, and i used this thing to cut off the smaller limbs, and it was very quick with it.\n\nOverall, i did not wake up with pain after using this, which is the whole reason for buying it. It came with two batteries, an extra chain, a set of gloves, safety glasses, charging cable, and screw driver. The only thing i can say i would change is the charging cable set up.

My likes. Price, for around $38 you get t a lot of extras such as chains, chain bar, two batteries, gloves, etc.. Next, I like the construction of the saw, particularly the chain guard. I can't atest to the durability of the saw because I have not used it for its intended purposes as of yet. I will provide an update on its performance once I put it to work but for now , I am pleased with my purchase.

Good compact hand chainsaw, EZ to operate. I have cut 2' branches with ease. \nCONS: chainguard does vibrate when attempting to cut tree limbs. Instructions DO NOT indicate anywhere that chainsaw Oil is needed which I found alarming. I being an experienced chainsaw owner applied OIL in this saw designated oil reservoir... So be careful and ADD oil before you operate this product .

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·GERRY

I liked the saw overall. It was a good deal, 2 bars 2 saw blades, well built saw. I cut with one battery for about 30 minutes, mostly lighter brush. It used a lot of power to cut four inch diameter branches, so battery didn't last as long. It also overheats and cuts out for a short time. For smaller jobs it is a good tool , light weight and easy to use. nice accessory saw to have.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Jennifer

Bought this little chain saw to remove a small tree on my property. Right size for my needs. Reading the reviews other customers mentioned not to try forcing the chainsaw but let it cut through the limb gradually. Even going slow, the saw gets stuck in the limb. Would still recommend the purchase for those who don't have many limbs to remove or just small limbs. Easy and compact.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·John

Battery life seems good for the tree trimming I am doing. Chaim does not have enough cutters on it to do a smooth cut. Unit bounces up and down as the chain hits the cutter and then the low space between cutters. The unit is too small to hold with two hands safely. Small is light weight but holding with one hand it is hard to control. Cuts look like a beaver chewed it up.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Melvyn

Lightweight, easy to use, 2 rechargeable batteries (and charger). I used it to cut about 200 linear feet of tree limbs - ranging from 1" to 8" in diameter - into 15"to 18" lengths. I had to recharge the batteries several times - but that was no problem, as I had to recharge myself every 15 minutes! [I am an 82-year old man, so a beer and pee break is needed every 1/4 hour]. The saw stops if it gets too hot, but you can let it sit for 5 minutes and continue. The manual does not give clear instructions on how to adjust the chain's tension. But there is a small cross-screw below the blade for that. The unit comes in a handy plastic carry case, with a spare chain. The chain I used is still as sharp as when I started. The carry case also includes is a pair of adjustable protective glasses and gloves, and the tools needed to adjust tension. A great little saw. I recommend it - especially for the price.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·William

Exceeded my expectations, easy to use. I cut a 4" thick branch as well as smaller ones. It works best if you place the bottom of the housing against the branch you are cutting, Not as versatile as a larger gas powered chain saw, but capable. One drawback I noticed was that the chain oiler did not deliver oil to the blade, I had to manually apply the oil.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Elton

I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this thing cuts through good sized branches. It's a light weight, is unfortunately, depending on the flimsy plastic body. But it is great for being up on a ladder and lopping off a few low hanging tree branches. I sawed through 2" vines like they were butter. \nOverall it performs exactly as advertising.

Works great! Just be realistic in what you want to cut. Perfect for small limbs and branches. Batteries last fairly long time on charge .Oiling the chain is an issue. No instructions on filling the reservoir or if the clear top is meant to be pushed down to dispense oil. I made sure to pour a little oil on chain occasionally.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Dennis

this is a great and cheap product IF YOU USE IT FOR WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO. generally i buy stihl products. the equivalent stihl product (gta26 tool 2 batteries 2 chains charger) would be $250-ish. this one is ~$40. if you use this to prune, and just prune (~1"), and not try to cut down trees or cut off/cut up 5" tree limbs you'll be very happy. i'll admit in advance when you take it out of the box it will appear to be cheap, platically, and not robust. well, it does the job it's intended to do even though all those are absolutely true. a plus over the stihl is it's 6" and not 4". if you want something super robust you can use to cut down trees as well as prune get the dewalt dccs623b 8" pruning saw. but this one will set you back $350 if you buy it now as one of their christmas special packages. as usual, match the tool to the project.

These work well, I have two of them now, but they have no way to oil the bar, so I dip it in used motor oil which is messy.\n \nAlso the batterys don't last more than a few cuts, and the motor gets extremely hot and will overheat to the point it shuts down.\n \nBut for the money, it still cuts well and is useful.

Instructions are not very complete. Nothing is said about oiling chain. Overall it's a pretty good tool for cutting small limbs.

Had no idea what to expect but I am impressed with this tool. Chain oil reservoir is small but works well. You have to remove chain bar to fit all pieces and batteries in case.

This isn't a toy but I've seen people treat it as one. This has a lot of power, I recommend using two hands whenever possible. It tends to kick back just like the full size chainsaws. This should be used on branches, it's not a trimmer. I'm really happy with it, it's the perfect size for my projects.

I haven't used it that much yet. I cut up two small saplings without any problem. My only complaint thus far is the instruction manual is very sparse. I couldn't find any information on how to lubricate the saw. I watched a few tube videos, and hopefully I'm now lubricating it correctly.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Brad

Instructions could use a sentence or two about how to adjust tension of chain. I finally figured out on my own to simply loosen the locking wingnut, turn the adjusting wheel to tighten the chain, lock wingnut. I used it to cut down several 4" dead trees in my backyard. Works great for small jobs! Impatiently used uncharged battery with initial 40% battery, which only lasted about 10 minutes. But lithium batteries tend to last longer in the 100% to 50% range before dropping off quickly below 50% battery. So I anticipate it should last the estimated 2 hours on a full charge. Having two batteries included is a huge plus. Nice convenient carry case holds everything except the quart of chain oil I will need to get. Included 1/2 ounce bottle of oil was enough to let me play with my new "toy"on Christmas day!
