@@Amigatech Thx Amiga! I ve also discovered two critical issues since then. First, i shouldn't have turned the power on before i rest it against the trunk, which led to the 2nd issue where i noticed no matter how gently i press the power button, it always revves up to the highest speed and bounces back. When i forced it to stay on the wood, one of the blades actually chipped off. So, i bought a much cheaper one from Amazon. And Voila, the variable speed actually works - i can start at low RPM and let the chain of blades slowly grab onto the wood before revving it up, bouncing is reduced substantially and it actually cuts now. But this cheap version have no lock button, handle guard, and no reverse button unlike the first one i got which had all the bells and whistles, except it does NOT cut!

I bought one of these last fall and it's been a great tool. I expected it to last only a few cutting sessions but it has lasted way beyond that and even made it through the aftermath of the recent Texas ice storm. Lots of downed tree branches. I like it better than my Dewalt pole saw. One of the two batteries that came with mine quit charging after 6 months, but that's my only complaint so far. Thanks for the tip about using Makita batteries. Now I have an excuse to buy yet another battery charger to clutter up my workbench.

Cute chainsaw. Enjoyed the review and exposure of the 'marketing embellishment'. Liked your idea about carrying it along with your mower. All you need is a holster lol But, IMHO, a cordless pole saw is much more practical. In AZ, most bushes have thorns and some even have rattlesnakes under them. A pole saw avoids getting too close and personally injured. Having said that, my recent Greenworks pole saw only lasted one day, before seizing up. Gotta love Amazon's return policy.

One thing I have noticed is when used hard they overheat and shut down, since she bought 2 I just alternate between them when they start getting to hot. These things are great for trimming limbs and cutting up scraps of wood for kindling. Very handy and inexpensive to have around, using makita batteries is something I didn’t know.

I agree very much with your positive review. I bought one of those from Banggood a few days ago, and it has surpassed my expectations. I felled a few small dead trees (trunks up to 100mm) and cut a lot of dead branches in no time. I was glad to see in your video that it can indeed take Makita batteries, and vica-versa of course, because that means that the bigger batteries with longer run-times can be used too, and they are readily available. It seems that that 48Vf moniker is a rating of some sort, not a voltage indicator. Mine has 88Vf, and there are others with different numbers, but they are all 18V or 21V.

In the past, Makita offered a mini-chainsaw. Did they discontinue the saw due to injuries? A one-handed chainsaw presents an opportunity for an emergency room adventure. You demonstrated this saw a year ago. Does it still function? Does the company still offer the saw? I will buy if you respond ( and give you the commission, if any ). Thank you.

I got one and liked it so much I bought one for a family member and one for a friend (extended family). The "advertising" on the side is hysterical, but I disengage the battery when walking or carrying for safety, because spinning blades are no joke. Unlike a gas chainsaw, once you stop cutting, you can hear what's going on around you and there is way less fatigue from vibration. My firewood looks awesome this year and is ready for the next Snowpocalypse.

I bought mine from Banggood and it works fine. You have to work out how to adjust the chain tension with the small screw and undoing the side bolt a little first but its easy enough to do. OK for trimming small branches but its really useful at cutting up big cardboard boxes to pack them into a bin. Paid peanuts for it, arrived within a reasonable time frame and it works well. One trick, I lubricate the chain track with a spray can of lithium grease.

How do I buy one ?.

@ms.deedee4036 3 жыл бұрын

The device I purchased was the SeeSii brand( $99.00 on Amazon) Which looks just like the one your demonstrating. It went together in the same manner, but it didn't work the same. Not at all. It cut into the branch, which was only 1/2 inch thick. It left a black streak in the groove and smokes a little then froze up. Granted the branches were green, I still expected the same results.

Sounds like the chain was installed going the wrong way

You enjoy chain saw hacks, right? Show us how to rig it up to an extension pole for cutting higher branches, etc? And how long did it take to ship?

Thanks for the review. I have been using hand saws to cut broken limbs and things for years. Now If I can find one, I'll be using it. Old soft maples tree are the worst trees. The limb break off almost every time a high wind blows. Thanks again for the info.

I have a similar one, but it lacks the guard shield. It came with 2 batteries and a charger. They weird thing is that so many of them cost almost as much as the unit to replace a battery or get a charger with a battery. That said, I used mine immediately for cutting up fallen branches from a red oak tree so they would go into my totter. It worked like a charm and since I have rheumatoid arthritis, this is a world of help, unlike having to use my larger chain saw. I didn't want something that just took up space in my garage shelfs like my heavier chain saw and this little unit fit that bill quite nicely. Not sure how long a chain will last or the unit itself, but already it has saved me a lot of headache in removing limbs or trimming those shoots from my large holly shrubs.

AVE has relegated his to opening boxes but he has a Bosch model which Is ridiculously priced. Yours was surprisingly useful and had more power than i would have suspected. Perfect for trimming saplings and branches up to 3" diameter. Nice buy

Yeah, but it's a tiny chainsaw and fun to use. You can't put a price on fun; plus, I got it as a present, so it was FREE!

@nate2838 2 жыл бұрын

SAFETY NOTE: the "blade" can slide SIDEWAYS in various conditions (especially when the chain is dull) so be very careful with holding a piece by hand. If I'm not mistaken there are gloves on the market that are designed for saw protection, though i am not sure how well they would work with this as the method used to stop the chain is by clogging the chainsaw clutch with fiber. If anyone has this, chainsaw protection, and is willing to check this (not wearing it during test of course) i'm very curious if saw protection works for this as well. That being said, i hope everyone has a great day and enjoys their tools :)

In place of a human finger, our shop teacher always used a hot dog to demonstrate what could happen if you stuck your finger where it didn't belong (a rather graphic and pointed lesson I might add!). 👍 Of course, that was back in the day before there were blade-brake features like some saws/tools have these days! 🤣

Never used a chain saw before. Got my mini chain saw today. I was expecting it to cut like butter. But it bounces like crazy. I tighten the chain a bit, but still bounces. Do you have to apply very firm pressure? Or, did i get a lemon? ☹️

@panayiotispanayides2141 3 жыл бұрын

@@gskyle4822 Hi, yes it does bounce and you need to force it down as it cuts, not so much to stall the motor, but it does not compare to a real chain saw. Ideal for pruning those slightly thicker branches without the need to get out the real beast.
