Most Helpful Reviews:
This chainsaw is light and easy to maneuver. I get 30-40 3-4"cuts per charge. I use the 20V batteries from other B&D tools without issue.
Recently purchased based on previous B & D experience. I have been using chain saws for over 40 years from professional grade to homeowner grade and including battery powered pole saws. This one seems little more than a toy. The chain adjustment doesn't seem to stay adjusted for more than a few minutes and the chain has a tendency to jump off the bar. Also the chain does not run smoothly and tends to chatter when cutting (unlike any other chainsaw I have used).
Those benefits were not conditioned on the positive or negative content of the review.
BIG disappointment
|I bought this chainsaw a couple of weeks ago hoping to use it for cutting some firewood for this season. The power is weak, and the battery discharges within 20-30 minutes of using it. It?s making what should have been a simple, relatively short task, MUCH more complicated as I have to do it in very short shifts while I constantly wait for the recharging to complete. Not happy.
Chainsaw -- great
|This chain saw is easy to use and maintain. It is so light. The chainsaw is good for light pruning of trees.
Electric and light weight
|Live on a farm with lots of shrubs and it takes care of the stuff larger than my pruner can cut. Love it.
nice little saw
|I like this saw. It is great for cutting smaller logs. It is quite capable for cutting logs up to 5 or 6 inches. I have a bigger battery powered chain saw but I prefer to use the B & D 10 inch for the jobs it is suited for.
There is a tendency to grab and jerk when starting a cut. I expect that is in the chain design. The cutting teeth are close together and I expect that is the cause but the saw cuts fast because of the chain design.
I heat my home with wood that I collect from the surrounding forest so I use the saw quite a bit. I have owned the saw for about 6 months.
This saw great
|We used it to cut down some brush and a 12 inch tree that was dead but did on one charge.
