Editor's insights
The chain remains in the same position all throughout and you do not need to tighten it. Those who have never used a chainsaw before find this easy to manage because of the very light weight and the fact that the product already comes assembled. Some consumers remarked that you need a hearing protection, but it actually isn’t too loud. You may only want hearing protection if you are sensitive and want the noise to completely go away. This chainsaw is not very picky when it comes to the kind of oil you can use; it works with any motor oil and even vegetable oil. Those who needed repair parts were able to buy everything online. The drawback here is the chainsaw collects a lot of debris in small areas and there is a need to hold the trigger for the chain oiler to continue working. However, these are just minor concerns and there are still a lot of things to love about this product. This chainsaw is best recommended for those who are budget-conscious but still want a good chainsaw that will last a long time. It definitely serves its purpose and the price is reasonable.

Editor's insights
A lot of users have said praised the power this chainsaw brings, which allows them to cut through tree trunks properly. The torque is a lot better than others and the chainsaw remains stable during the entire cutting job. Beginners will not have a hard time because starting the chainsaw is easy and installation of the new chain only needs two hands. While using the chainsaw, consumers realized that it is well-built and sturdy, which is very important for cutting jobs. Those who have tried other commercial chainsaws in the past have said that this is the most powerful they have ever had. The affordable price is just another bonus. The drawback of this product is it takes a while to get the engine started that first time. You will have to do a break-in. Most users have no other problems. Overall, this chainsaw is an excellent product that no one would feel embarrassed to recommend even to the pickiest buyers. It is hard to come by a commercial gas chainsaw that packs so many convenient features.
