Good Small Saw
By Richard M. 
Hancock, New York
Purchased 12/23/2020 | 
Review Posted 01/15/2021 
It's a nice little sawn remember it's only 52cc, so it lacks some power in comparison to say a 72cc, but for firewood and trimming, it is a good saw.

Very Happy With This Chain Saw!
By Gregory N. 
Saint Cloud, Minnesota
Purchased 09/25/2020 | 
Review Posted 12/01/2020 
This chainsaw is a great value for the money. Although, I've only given it a light duty. So far, it has proven itself dependable and powerful enough to cut through everything I've used it for, up to 15". It starts quickly in temperatures down to 30 degrees.

Great Saw For The Job

The saw was a great value at the price. It could have had a bit more power for the job I bought it for, but it performed satisfactorily. Not a professional grade saw but for under 200.00, I cannot complain.

This Is A Good Saw
By Carlton W. 
Jesup, Georgia
Purchased 09/17/2019 | 
Review Posted 10/10/2019 
This saw is good it is well worth the money. The only problem I have is getting parts, the chains are not available locally, & so far I have not found a website that has parts. Chainsaw Direct gave me a telephone number to call to see if they had parts, but I have not tried them yet.
