Great tool in the toolbox!
Would RecommendNo more carburetors! Works great. Not quite as strong or last as long as it’s gas brother, but works very well for working around the house. It runs through batteries pretty quickly on large cuts so spring for the bigger batteries, but still. . . Great tool.

Not advertised correctly
This is not a brushless motor. It’s disappointing that this is mislabeled on the Lowe’s website.

Another excellent V20 yard tool
Would RecommendThis saw is fantastic for its intended use.

LEAKS OIL
Would Not RecommendDecent chainsaw for cutting small branches. HOWEVER, this thing leaked oil all over the garage floor.

Surprised Craftsman would sell a tool which such a defect.

Affordable gas alternative for lighter jobs
Would RecommendBought this to clear some larger downed limbs in my yard that I couldn't get through with loppers, etc. I don't have a ton of use for a "full powered" gas chainsaw, but needed something heftier than manual tools for yard cleanup on my 3 acre property. It's simple to use, no fighting with getting it started, got through the 6"-7" diameter downed tree limbs i needed to remove with ease, and is quieter than a gas saw. Plus the battery works with my other Craftsman tools. For the price, especially i...
