As you read this review keep in mind two things. 1. I am not comparing this saw to a name brand like Husqvarna but to say the same size of a saw from Husqvarna is $519. 2. I’m not a pro, but a weekend warrior. This is mostly for firewood cutting. This saw is well worth the $112 i paid for it. I was a little skeptical at first but this saw has proven me wrong. The quality of the build is OK. The plastic is a cheaper kind and not super refined. Though it works well. The throttle lock for starting is loose and you have to pull it out of the throttle to disengage it. It could use a small spring inside the housing. Though it works. The air filter is the same as you find in a Poulon. There is a gasket between the air filter and the carburetor. The throttle feels good and moves freely amd returns correctly. The bar is metal with a rubber coating and anti skid parts. I really like the anti skid part of the bar. The bar screws into the plastic housing. I’m not a fan of this, taking care of the saw and not abusing it hopefully it will be ok. The bar seems stiff and I haven’t had any problems of yet. The saw started on the second pull. Push the choke in and second pull it started and idled perfect. After a warm up it revvs fast and hard. The saw is very responsive to the throttle. My biggest recommendation so far is to change the spark plug to a NGK. The stock one is just OK. So far i have cut for about two hours on the saw. The saw cuts better than I expected. It is smooth and the anti vibration bushings work very well. I was cutting a 16” tree and it was like butter. Very smooth and plenty of power. I have had to adjust the chain twice as it broke in and after the second time it has not loosened at all. The bar oiler has an adjustment which is way cool. It oils the chain well, I turned it quarter of a turn for more oil and it oils well. The bar is great. It is stiff and has a greaser hole to grease the bearing amd the chain fits great. Before I started cutting a small amount and it cut good. I sharpened the chain before i cut up a tree fall from winter and it cuts like butter. The saw is well balanced and stable when cutting. Very little vibration feedback. For a weekend warrior and fire wood this saw will be a great addition to my gear. The saw could use some small refinement in a couple of areas. The throttle lock being tighter in the housing with a release spring, the choke puller being a little tighter in the housing and a thicker housing where the bar screws into. Over all for the price I am happy with the saw. It cut and ran how I would expect a saw of double the price to preform. For the weekend warrior cutting firewood or storm cleanup I could not see spending $4-500 on a saw with how well this saw worked. The longevity is still to be seen but for two hours it works great.

I bought this saw have had experience with logging saws curious of how well it would perform it started easy and after break in cut wood one time cut great had plenty of power but then started having throttle issues and saw dust was getting in the carb through the stock filter thought it was a linkage or something but the carburetor was sticking on it and you can’t find parts for it anywhere. I Got the 2 year protection plan on top of the one year warranty it comes with. My advice is to get the protection plan hopefully they will honer the warranty.

Started right up.... sounds great. Cuts wood like butter. Seems to have plenty of power. Works and feels like a quality saw.... I rated it 4 stars. .... lol I'm a little stingy with my ratings.

Just received it, (Just want to say I have used chainsaws for 50 years)started 3rd pull. The easy start system fills odd, but works well, will get use to it. The accessories are not much. For the price it seems to be worth it. I will up date after I use it more. Update; Cut a small tree, cuts very fast, chain sharp. Smokes like a steam train up a mountain. I will run first tank at 25:1 then will reduce to 32:1 see how that goes. Will continue to update as I use it more. I can see this saw will need to be tweaked a little now and then, so if you are some one that has to have some one else do all your mechanical work, I don't recommend this. Update; been using it for cleaning logs(cutting off limbs,cutting logs to length) for my sawmill. The more I use it the more I like it.Update been using for over a year, No problems, still starts easy. I did open the exhaust some, really helped, more power.Read full review

I bought this one out of curiosity since i like chainsaws. This saw starts easy and has plenty of cutting power. The grip on the handles is very comfortable, the air filter cover has a nice snap lock to hold it in place. The air filter is a good quality washable mesh filter held by a wing nut. My only issue is the chain adjuster being at the front of the bar and chain cover instead of on the side. Side access is much easier.
