Absolutely garbage!!!
This chainsaw would not start! I tried to exchange this chainsaw after only 14 days however, I found out the hard way that Lowe’s only allows this for 48 hours after purchase! I now have to use the manufacturer warranty service and find an authorized repair company!! Absolutely disgusted with this entire process!! If I could I would give a rating of negative stars!!!!

Disappointing dangers
The saw cuts like nobody's business. However the bar and chain loosen up to the point of coming off during operation. Super dangerous when you think of 72 razor blades flying about in an uncontrolled manner. The saw has loosened up three times before the first tank of gas was consumed.
