Cordless Mini Chainsaw Compatible with Makita 18V Battery, Brushless Handheld 6 Inch Small Chain Saw with Oiler, 2 Chains and Chain File for Tree Branch Wood Cutting(Battery not Included)

Works great and uses Makita Batteries. Well worth the price for a homeowner.

For the $ this is quite a saw. This cuts limbs bigger than I thought and doesn't bog down or get hung. I used a 5Ah battery on several jobs and it never died, which was surprising. Only minor beef is the bar oil thing is kind of gimmicky. Concept is good but it has a hard time getting regular bar oil out. Have to really push the primer. Might try motor oil in it next time and see how that works. Original review above. After using this pretty regularly for almost 2yrs, it’s still a 5 star purchase. I’ve gone through 4 chains. No real complaints, if it died tomorrow I’d buy another. Minor beefs are the chain tightener is a little picky, you have to mess with it occasionally to get it right. Also chains are hard to find, yard xpert is the only other brand I’ve found that sells them.

UPDATED... Tigger Lock Mod Due to the fact that the trigger lock gave me a blister on my thumb, and is awkward to reach/depress because of it's position and size, I decided to create this mod. The aluminum bar is common aluminum stock you can buy at places like Home Depot or Lowes. It's .125" thick, .75" wide, and cut/shaped to 3.5" long. The two slots on the right side of the bar is to allow 550 Paracord to fall into them for a more secure grip on the bar. The slots are also spaced/sized accordingly to align the cord with the grooves found on the rubberized handle. I also applied a self adhesive piece of foam to the bar for cushioning. The foam is available from craft stores and is approx 2mm thick. You can find it here on Amazon... but they may be cheaper locally. I bought mine from HouseMart (Ben Franklin Hawaii) craft store. The brand is Darice. The bar is attached to the saw using 550 paracord with a "Constrictor knot". If you don't know what knot that is... look it up on Youtube. Very easy to tie, and basically non-slip when tightened. Very good knot to use for this purpose. Looking down on the saw... There's a "buldge" in the handle area where the bar is tied to the saw, and this buldge causes the bar to be more or less higher near the trigger lock. In fact, the bar just barely rests on the trigger lock and does not depress it at all. The only time the trigger lock gets depressed, is when you squeeze on the bar. No squeeze... saw can't run. The back photo is just to show how the paracord sits in the grooves on the rubber handle. In use... Because the bar is not really secured directly to the saw, it can move a little in use. However, because it "can" move, it's very easy to depress the trigger lock. The trigger lock doesn't really need to be depressed very much to allow the trigger to run the saw. This mod has been a boon for me as this saw is now more usable than it's stock configuration. No more blisters or struggling with that tiny trigger lock! Original review... Decided to purchase this chainsaw because it uses Makita batteries, which is the tool platform I'm on. The saw cuts well, seems powerful enough for small jobs, and is easy to handle. Weight-wise, no issues. I used it to trim a small fruit tree with limbs ranging in thickness up to about 4 inches. It had no issues cutting through any of the branches... and quite quickly, I might add! Cons: 1) The trigger lock button is too small and not very user friendly. You have to work too hard to depress it because it doesn't protrude far enough out on both ends. I got a blister on the side of my thumb using the saw because of the trigger lock design. Next time... wear gloves! 2) The trigger is also small and everything just feels cramped in that area because you have to confine your hand to the small trigger. Gloves will probably make it seem worse... but at least, no blisters!. 3) The case is built weird! As it is, if you store the saw in the case, and place the case with the handle up, the chainsaw ends up up-side-down, with means the oil port is at the bottom. This may lead to a leak down the road. Why would the manufacture design the case this way? Case design needs to be re-thought. 4) It's a little tough getting the battery attached (real Makita batteries). Dimensions of the battery port seems just a tad small, making for a tight fit. Removal is also tight. Overall, the chainsaw worked as it should. Would I buy it again? Hmmm... maybe. Longevity is always a question with off-brands though, so we'll see how it goes. So far, a fairly decent saw, for the price. I couldn't justify spending close to $200 on a Makita!

I needed to prune a number of rhododendrons and other woody plants. My hand pruners just weren't right for the job and a regular chain saw would be overkill and in most areas, impractical. I found this and to be honest, was skeptical that it would be worth the money. At less than half the price of the Makita and using the same batteries, I decided that it was worth a try. I was surprised when it arrived in a decent blow-molded case that, along with the saw, included a spare chain and a file for sharpening. The battery fit is a bit tight, but, with a good slap, seats well. The saw works surprisingly well, and I've used it on 4" branches with no problem. The chain adjustment is hands free, the chain/bar oiler is manual (and a bit stiff at first). Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and would buy it again!

Fantastic, durable small, lightweight, one handed chainsaw. I've used it hundreds of times with zero problems

I was expecting this to be better. More like a Makita product. It is much cheaper than a Makita. It has one hand operation and does cut OK. The down side is that the oiler doesn't work. I take oil along and pour alittle on ocaisionally. Also the thumb release to start is very inconvienant and awkward to use. I don't see it lasting long.

Well, the unit worked great for about a half hour. I was impressed, but in the middle of using it, it just stopped. i put in a new fully charged battery and nothing. I made the mistake of buying it for Christmas, and just had the opportunity to trim some small branches this week. I live in Long Island, so up to now it has been very cold. i would return the unit but the return window was closed at the end of January before i could use it. Next time I will buy products in the season where they can be thoroughly tested. In any case the unit was good and I was prepared to give it 5 stars, but had to change my mind. Not sure how long they will last so be cautious to read the other feedback.

I have several tools that use this battery, so I thought I would try this tool. I have another mini chain saw, and purchased other brands for family. But after using both, this is the one I like best. It is built better than the other brand, built as if it is an OEM of the brand it looks like and uses their battery. I strongly recommend this brand (product/manufacturer) of Mini Chainsaw!. (only problem is where I can buy chains as it is slightly bigger than the 6" chains) problem solved - look for a 10" pole chainsaw chain! The 10" chain was too big. Any idea where I can get a new chain the correct size? What is the pitch of the chain -1/4"; 3/8" or 0.325"? need to know to buy the correct file.

Solide et bonne qualité
