What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this chainsaw for its lightweight design, ease of use, and strong performance on household pruning and branch cutting up to 10 inches thick. Many highlight the convenience of battery operation, instant button-start, quiet runtime, and compatibility with existing V20 tools. Reviewers note it handles well for users with limited strength and requires no fuel mixing. However, some report the chain frequently comes off during use, and many note bar and chain oil is not included despite being essential. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the benefits significantly outweigh the issues and recommend it.

Perfect purchase for small jobs.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] l purchased this tool to help out with some small cutting at our camp in West Virginia and it was the best purchase I have ever made. It cuts everything that we need to cut. It can handle up to 6" limbs with no problem. It is small and light and just wonderful. We just love it!!

chain saw

This fails before the first battery runs down, the motor runs but the chain does not operate. It seems that the drive between the motor and the chain fails. It does good for a very short period of time.

No more mixing fuel and hard to start gas chain sa

Works great for my needs. We have a creek lined with smaller trees going thru our back yard that needs cleared up. This was the perfect tool for the job. No more mixing fuel and hard to start gas chain saws. I have quite a few V20 tools and very happy with them.

Lots of power

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great chainsaw for the price. Used it to cut down a 15 ft tree and it did a great job, lots of power. Decent battery life before it needs to be recharged.

Great Little Chainsaw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little saw, very versatile and works great. Cut smooth and easy with lots of cut from even the small battery. Liked it so much I went back and purchased the pole saw.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got the Craftsman 12 " Chainsaw kit with 5.0 battery and charger (320 brushless rpm) and I really like this little jewel.

Cordless Chainsaw

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for the quick around the house trimming or removal of small brush. Live on a wooded lot have plenty of downed branches. Use this regularly. No need to worry about gas or hard starts. Drop in a battery and go.

Little workhorse

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this in my yard and my property to take down trees as large as 10" diameter and it does the job nicely. It's made plenty of firewood for me also. Batteries last awhile but I also have additional ones from outer craftmans V20 products that I use with it. Backyard or small property I'd recommend this

Great Lightweight Chainsaw For Small Jobs

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me say right off the bat, this is NOT a professional grade or to be used for heavy duty use! Having said that, I have used it for small diameter trimming of branches, shrubs and small trees up to 6" max diameter approximately. The lightweight, easy to use, right out of the box chainsaw can handle most jobs around the yard with close to a couple of hours on a charge. There is no bar oil supplied in the box so be sure to buy some or have some...

Light weight and handy!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light weight and convenient ! There were overgrown trees with branches blocking the drive in as well the gate around the cabin. I decided to give it a try and quickly started regretting all of the time I've been working without it. Lightweight, no fuel to mix and transport, easy to run and cuts almost as well as my gas powered saw. There's still a time and place for the gas powered saw but this battery powered workhorse is a great additional t...

Nice pruning/brush saw

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my wife. She says it's to heavy for her. I used it last weekend for some brush removal. I thought it was perfect. Easier than getting out the gas chainsaw. And quieter too.
