What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this chainsaw for powerful performance, reliable starting on the first or second pull, and effective cutting through thick branches and fallen trees.

Only said that I must go through the manufacturers service! Not a chance I would ever buy a power tool again from Lowe’s.
