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.

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...

Great tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome little saw, I use it to trim limbs and brush all summer. Very handy instead of using noisy gas saw and very powerful. Also use it to cut dead firewood when camping. Never any issues with it. Keep the chain sharp and it will do most anything you need.

Lil leaky, but Stout!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little saw for the homeowner! Power and cuts through limbs and even 6x6 treated posts with ease! Leaks bar oil only reason for only 4 stars. Besides that if you have previous experience with chainsaws as far as adjusting chain and such you'll have no issue. If you're new then read the manual and watch some videos!

First was a dud, but great warranty process

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first I got seemed weak and it didn't make sense to me why I felt my reciprocating saw was better at cutting than my chainsaw. I decided to warranty it online stating the weak motor that would often cutout on cuts over 4 inches thick. Warranty process was simple and I had a brand new one (even new included battery and charger which wasn't expected) in less than a week. Clearly the first has a bad motor because this new one sounds much bet...

Love this saw! Highly recommend this saw, it is powerful and easy to handle. The battery last longer than I do. Awesome that it's ready to go at a moments notice, never have to worry with pull starting like a gas saw. ln fact I sold my gas saw right after buying this.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used just once so far. Worked fine and handles great. Not as powerful as my gas powered saw but still effective. Recommend for small to medium jobs. Havn't tried on anything heavy duty yet.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very versatile and easy to use. It handles well and is not to heavy. I used it to section up a small maple tree that fell in my back yard and it kept good steady power through the entire task. I was impressed with how long the battery lasted.

Good saw, plenty of power would recommend and will use again. One issue when cutting fallen tree branches and trimming a pine tree, the pine needles jammed up the saw twice. Once had to get the Chain back on. Clearing the debris was easy added some time. Still would inform some one on this prior to buying and make them understand this may occur and they will need to know how to fix this issue

Great Chainsaw!
