These 6 inch chainsaws are a useful tool. They are light so you can use them one handed while using the other hand to steady the branch or pull back foliage. So far no real issues. I worry about chain life and I would suggest getting one with an automatic oiler. You have to buy bar and chain oil and they include a tiny plastic bottle to manually apply to chain. One with an auto oiler or push button dispenser would be vastly better. With this one you need to constantly apply oil or have it break. That is not time savingOtherwise it does cut branches and leaves little sawdust as it's size doesn't produce much. I have not used it long enough to know the battery life but it comes with two batteries which is goodUsing these mini chainsaws is a legitimate tool. You can forget about loppers and cut multiple small things at the same time. The needing just one hand and being light weight is where they shine. The chain looks delicate. Time will tell but be sure to keep up the oiling or you will have problems.With the exceptions noted I would give these a thumbs up. I got mine using a coupon and some credit so it cost about half as much. I would suggest comparing then and buying on sale. So far so good though, it is doing the job it claims to do and makes work much faster and easier. Try one out.

Well built, easy to handle with one hand, two batteries, extra chain, safety glasses & a GREAT PRICE!Does a excellent job of trimming bushes & small trees. I am very satisfied with my purchase, & would Recommend to anyone

For less than $60 this thing packs a punch! Comes with 2 batteries (only last 20ish minutes each), case, charger, extra chain, safety glasses, and saw. Works great with branches, even small trees up to 6" in diameter (anything bigger you can cut in half from one side then switch to the other and meet in the middle)!! I was able to clear 2 trees that were over 10' tall quick. I love the locking featute so there's no accidental slips, and it's super light so it's easy to hold with one hand.Only downside is the engine heats up after 15min of continuous use. I was working on thicker branches so it's not surprising. For quick projects or yard jobs this lil guy fits the bill perfectly.If you wanna feel like a badass lumberjack in your suburban home, or trim your neighbors trees that grow over your side of the fence, this deathblade is what you need!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I purchased this small saw to use while on my trail walks on my 40 acres of land. I didn't want to lug around a small gas powered chainsaw whenever I encountered a small downed tree or branch that needed to be removed trimmed.This little thing is quite a fun saw to use and can actually cut some solid branches. It is light enough to bring in a small pack and battery life is quite good.Do fill up the little oil bottle provided with some chain oil and put some on I'd say every 8 or so branch cut... but a little goes a long way. (some have complained that there was no oil provided in the bottle, but that's normal since there are restrictions on some flamable liquids with some shippers). Oil can be found at your local H/W store for cheap anyways!Do not purchase this saw at this price and expect nice protection glasses and gloves.. those are cheaply made.. but just the saw is well worth the purchase.

I have a blue spruce in the front corner of the yard that is about 40 feet tall. I had to clean up the bottom branches as they were starting to encroach onto the sidewalk and road on the other side. After an initial charge of both batteries I set out to prune the bottom 8 feet of branches. The saw worked extremely well and met my expectations. It was easy to handle and not heavy at all making this pruning job much easier as it allowed me to use one hand to hold the branch and the other to cut with. A full size chain saw would have required another person to hold and move branches. Clean up after the work was easy and I put everything back in the convenient case that the product came in. It came with a full spare chain which I did not need to use but have once the original one becomes dull. The only thing that was a struggle was that as I used the saw the chain became loose over time and needed to be re-tightened frequently. Also, would have been nice had they included a small bottle of chain oil as I did not have any and had to purchase it separately after cleaning up the blade to store it. Overall I recommend this handy tool for any home owner for small projects and give it a 4 gold star rating.

Was looking for something to help cut down a few branches here and there, and to prune a few trees/bushes.This does the job, here are my takeaways.Never used a small chainsaw before so I didn’t know what to expect. The bigger ones have obviously more control of movement and cut because of the power behind it.This one has a good torque.Comes with 2 batteries and a plug-in charger. They charge quickly un about 2 hours or less, and hold the charge for a while. I’ve used it for a couple hours on and off, and it still has a charge.It cuts better a thicker branch (or very small tree) than it does thin ones because of the flexibility and movement you get from the branch itself. So it’s a bit “bouncy”, make sure you have control of both the branch and the chainsaw.Comes with gloves. DO WEAR them.And find better ones too (I’ll be looking: these aren’t that thick or super protective).Reason being, the first cut I made, I was holding on to the branch and I thought it’d just cut through but it bounced back and hit me on the other hand. I was lucky I let go of the trigger fast enough, and that the glove part stopped the chain, cause it put a hole on the glove, and it’d probably have cut my thumb. (Ugh!) That’s my bad, I didn’t expect that recoil; it may probably be a bit of inexperience with such smaller tool, and a bit of the fact that it’s so lightweight and you are the one that needs to have more control over it.That said, it cuts through great, but a lot of smaller branches get ripped a little, and edges aren’t a clean cut.The tip part of the chain cuts better in that sense, so change the angle you’re using it at. Keep your other hand several inches from the cut, for the above reasons!Now the important part: the oil. There’s a little bottle that’s for the oil for you to keep the chainsaw greased. There’s a trick to open it to fill, which I did not think about it until I started pulling and squeezing the tiny vessel: the top part just pulls out, opening to fill. It could be done better or identified in the manual.There is also no place on the chainsaw to put the oil in for it to self-distribute. You actually have to oil the chain itself. How often? I don’t know. It is not explained in the booklet. (This part isn’t addressed at all other than in a small picture at beginning of booklet).And this is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. After how many cuts is one supposed to oil the chain??Speaking of the booklet, there’s not much in there other than for how to change or tighten chain, plus safety/warning info. It should have a bit more detail imho.That all said, I read reviews on a lot of other chainsaw before choosing this one. It also had a plus at time of purchase, a $20 off coupon, and let’s not forget the 2 batteries it comes with. Those were my deciding factors. I picked the pink one cause it matched some of my other tools (silly I know-but reviews were pretty positive on this model).I have no idea how long this tool will last. But for around $50 I’m not complaining too much. I’m glad I figured out the oil bottle, cause I wasted a lot of bar chain oil from my bigger jug just to get the blade oiled, and it’s messy.All in all I like it, and I’d buy it again.

I am an older woman who just wanted a simple, small chainsaw to cut down the branches that fall off our trees every winter without having to count on anyone else's help. This chain saw is small, light and easy to use. I have only used it twice, each time for about an hour. I did not have to change the battery either time. The chainsaw fit in my hand comfortably and cut the limbs, 1-4" in diameter, smoothly. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something simple and light. In fact, when my husband saw how easy it was to use, he came out to help with the work without even being asked. I did have an issue with the chainsaw early on (probably caused by my complete lack of knowledge in the tool) but the customer service rep, Anna, was incredibly helpful and she rectified the situation quickly. Both the chainsaw and the customer service were better than I could have hoped for. Just a couple of tips for newbies to chainsaws, when you have to tighten the chain, loosen the cover about a 1/4 of a turn and then tighten the screw for the chain to about 2mm (or 1/16") give. When chain is tightened, then tighten the cover FIRMLY. Check the chain often when using, although we found that once we figured out how tight to make the chain, AND TO VERY FIRMLY TIGHTEN THE COVER, the chain stayed snug throughout the job. I now understand the appeal of power tools, even if it is a lil power tool :)

It makes quick work cutting up to 5 inch diameter tree. The battery life is good enough for my purpose which is to collect good quality wood for making bonfire that lasts around 6 hours. I used up the first battery and 20% of the second battery to make at least 15 cuts of around 4 inch diameter tree trunks.And this was done in around -2 °C, its only going to get colder this winter and I hope the battery can keep up.There is some safety involved, but I intuitively learned, bad wood makes wood pieces get stuck inside the saw, its better to remove the bark before making the cut and don't try to cut anything smaller than 2 inch diameter, it just risky and can be bad for the saw, axe is good for that.I like how its easy to open and clean. I used some biodegradable oil to keep it lubed up and happy :)My only small complain would be that the box is not properly molded for the batteries and other accessories that come with it, so stuff rattles inside the box as I carry it in my 50L backpack. But having the box alone is a big Plus since I don't want to toss the chainsaw directly in my bag, a recommendation would be to have some kind of chain cover then I wouldn't need to carry the box.
