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.

Good light duty saw.

Light weight but not too light. Battery works with other craftsman tools. Will have to be careful to not get too ambitious.

chain comes off

Would Not Recommend

made 4-5 cuts on some small branches, about 1" diameter and the chain came off. put it back on, made a cut and it came off again. did that 2 more times with the same result. now I'm taking it back and I really hate it since I have other Craftsman tools that use the same battery. I should have read the reviews.

Gr8 chainsaw

This little chainsaw is a compliment to my arsenal of other chainsaws! Not to big to carry around for the little stuff, and let my big chainsaws to when I need to cut the bigger stuff !!

Electric Chainsaw

Good battery life and powerful enough to take on medium sized trees. It worked well on a 30ft tree with an 18 inch trunk. This includes cutting off all the branches and limbs. The only negative in my experience is leaking oil when stored for long periods of time.

Does not work at all. Chain falls off constantly. Can’t even cut small limbs or rose bush branches.

Giving 1 Star Because Of Lowes Not Craftsman

Ordered brand new (of course) and upon opening the box, there is grease and sawdust all over the chainsaw. Look I get customers may bring back a tool and it gets resold, but I bought a brand new saw not a used one and if you were going to sell me a used saw you could have knocked down the price and if you wanted to pass of a used saw as a new one to me as a customer you could have had the decensy to clean it up before shoving it back in the box!

Tool you must have for your garden.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the CRAFTSMAN V20* BRUSHLESS RP™ 12" Chainsaw Kit, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance and ease of use. User-Friendly and Lightweight One of the biggest advantages of this chainsaw is how easy it is to handle. It's light enough that even my wife can use it comfortably, which is a big plus for shared household tasks. The ergonomic design makes it very user-friendly, even for beginners. Powerful and Effective D...
