Perfect For Home Use

Review Posted 07/02/2020
I only bought it for home use. On oak, ash, orange, and pine. It cuts great with no issues whatsoever. I love the ease of starting 1, 2 pulls, and starts every time. I only use Husqvarna fuel pre-mixed already. GREAT SAW AT A FABULOUS PRICE!!!

Very Good Saw Out Of The Box
By Nicholas D.

Review Posted 03/09/2020
It's a really great saw. It has plenty of power, starts easily and everything works as it should. I replaced an older Stihl that was much smaller and so it is not fair to compare apples to oranges, but this saw is far better than the Stihl ever was. It is very heavy, but that is to be expected given the size. I have only used it about four hours so far, so I just hope it's longevity matches my initial review.

It is a wonderful chainsaw, it has good value, it runs smooth and has good power. It does what it's supposed to do. One-pull start, hot or cold, every time in the first twenty-five or so uses so far.

I bought this chainsaw for cutting oak. I had a 42cc that would take forever to cut through downed oaks. This saw rips right through with little effort. It's easy to start & operate.

Great Chainsaw But Delivery Was A Problem!

Review Posted 02/10/2019
Chainsaw is great but delivery was a problem.FedEx left it at the end of my driveway. The box had great pictures of a chainsaw on all 4 sides. Someone could have picked it up and had themselves a nice chainsaw for free. I wish it was shipped UPS. They always deliver right to my door.
