93 total cuts avg of 1.5” diameter wood on 1 battery charge. This includes the torture test portion as well, very impressive!

It was way tougher and more powerful than I ever expected. I could definitely see carrying this while cutting firewood to clear the small brush out around the base of larger trees. Save fuel and no risk of a dulled chain on your main saw. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I saw someone else review this and I bought one. Mine came with two battery packs. I used it to cut some smaller brush and limbs and it worked so well for what I needed. You sure did put it through the torture test!! I wouldn't use mine like that, but for reviewing you did a great job!! I used mine for a good while and still had charge left.

This was the really best review on this saw. So many other reviewers just showed either one drop of oil on the chain or a sprinkle on the chain for an inch or so. Then not move the chain completely for at least a full revolution. Did these other reviewers wonder why it is called "bar" and chain oil,.....no. As shown here correctly the oil must be applied between the chain and the bar to eliminate the friction. I was so impressed with this saw I bought here in UK, the same design model but as a 6 inch under another name and for half the price. My saw came in a hard case, two batteries and a spare chain. All parts look identical to the Saker one. After seeing this excellent review I searched on Amazon UK for the identical model. I hope it works just as well.

Great demonstration of the Saker mini chainsaw. I am looking for a mini chainsaw and saw your review on the chainsaw. Yes, it was TORTURE TEST. I am leaning toward to buy this brand. It seems that you demonstrated the 4inch. My question is, would the 6inch do even better?

@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD 5 ай бұрын

I can’t speak of the larger model. I’m unsure if they used the same motor and bigger guide bar or larger motor for the larger guide bar equipped saw. Same motor and larger bar would be more strain on the saw. Larger motor to compliment the larger bar, one would expect better performance. Hope this helps!

I just bought this saw yesterday and am so glad to see such a positive review. It's my first power saw of any kind. I bought it to use around my garden. I've never handled any tool with a motor before, save for an old corded electric drill. So, I figured this little chainsaw is a good one with which to start. I bought it on sale from Amazon based on the ratings and reviews there. It just seemed like a very good tool for the price. I'm now wondering if the manufacturer sells a 6" blade kit or the parts separately, should I ever want a slightly larger blade for that motor. I'm guessing extra and/or replacement batteries are available. I bought the extended warranty, should there be any problems.

Using a one handed saw, it’s easy to put the other hand out there to steady something or push brush out of the way. That’s an easy place to get badly hurt. Just remember, it doesn’t know if it’s hitting your hand instead of brush. Make a mental note of what you’re going to cut, and how, before you pull the trigger.

@michaeldose2041 20 сағат бұрын

I bought one of these. And it worked great, just like in the video. After about 6months it would run, then shut off, then run again and shut off again. It seems like a thermal protection thing. Annoying as hell. I tried to see if I could by pass the overload device. No luck. I bought another one, same thing. How about do an update video? My experience is these saws work great until they suck, which happens rather quickly.

@mickey1618 7 ай бұрын

Mine has been operating very well after 6 months. I am now interested in a replacement chain but am confused what length to buy. The saw is described as a 4 inch saw. The closest length from the sprocket to the nose of the guide bar is approximately 6 inches. The 4 inch description probably refers only to the exposed (cutting) section of the chain. The instrutions are of little help. So what chain length should I buy, 4 inch or 6 inch??

@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD 7 ай бұрын

If your saw says it’s a 4” model, use the 4” chain. You are correct the exposed cutting area of the guide bar is the standard measurement for chainsaws. Hope this helps! Stay safe!

@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Жыл бұрын

Not sure how long it would last in minutes. Cutting the large maple pieces is beyond the manufacturers recommendations. I would guess non stop cutting of smaller stuff at least 30 minutes. That would be trigger pulled/in the wood continuously. Time is not a good measure for the saw battery capacity. Amount of cuts per charge is more accurate.
