What Customers Are Saying
The saw has a lightweight design and is generally easy to use, with reliable performance when cutting smaller trees and branches. However, some users report issues with the chain coming loose, the oil system leaking, and the saw struggling with larger or tougher wood. Proper maintenance and using the recommended fuel and oil mix are important for optimal performance.

Excellent product
Nice saw
Going on four years cut several cords of wood. Drop trees 20 inches without issue. Always starts, but I make sure to spray it out every day and drain the bar oil because it will leak in my case. Have not modified the carb or muffler.
Quality I would expect.
Started easily, and cut like a hot knife through butter. The perfect saw for a homeowner. For those who tried using it professionally, this is not what this saw is meant for. It is, however, perfect for cleaning fallen trees or limbs in your own yard, or clearing trees for a spot to build a shed or gazebo.
chain sucks!!!
The chain wil not stand up to cutting up a Crape myrtle tree
