Really CHEAP mini chainsaw - paulmon - 03-26-2023
Is this also wood working? I just bought a very cheap mini chainsaw (6" bar) on Amazon for $55 (with 2 batteries). I am presently using it for cleaning up some branches but I could see using it for rough cutting beams etc. Anybody else have any experience with these things?

I have the M12 Fuel 6" chain saw from Milwaukee and find it to be a lot more powerful and handy than I would have guessed. It is light, easy to handle, with a longer run time than I expected. I have cut logs a bit more in diameter than 6" with no issues. it was certainly more expensive than the one you show, but worth the $$ to me. It does go through chain oil quickly, but that's not a deal breaker. Having other M12 tools makes it a good fit.

I've never used a cordless one, but I have a corded Remington chainsaw that came attached to a pole for tree trimming that I have had cutting way above what was intended for it. As mentioned, the oiler is the weak spot for this saw.

I definitely prefer a better tool (and who wouldn't) but in this case I decided to roll the dice on this cheap one and glad I did. Especially since it was just small branches needing to be cut up so they would fit in the rubbish bin. It worked out better than I expected. After I got it and used it I found other YouTube videos with people who were skeptical at first but - for the price - really liked it after using it for a while.

No idea on chain saw. Byt bought a battery operated pruning sheers. $99 Amazon. WOW! cuts 1" thick branches like butter. Scary as any tool in the shop!

Since I have the Ryobi 18V system I bought one of their pole saws and a small chainsaw. Both work well and I have a lot of batteries and chargers for the system.

I like the way you put that.
