Paul, as Jerod mentioned in the video he was a tree feller. LOL He is learning though. Myself, I worked cutting timber on a surface mine for a year, so I know a little. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

I think it dies because the chips are plunging up under the gaurd. Especially if you operate it upside down to.

Mike, it is an awesome tool to have. Jerod can toss that in his side-by-side anytime he is going riding and keep the trails cleared. He can use it around the house to keep his trees pruned. I know when I got the 4" to test and review we really put it through a lot and it keeps going. Just make sure to keep the batteries charged and that thing will do the job. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Thanks, appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Yes, we think it is nice, Dan. So far we are pleased with them. As we told the company and any of the companies we have done reviews for, we will tell the good and the bad. As Jerod mentioned, if it was junk you would have seen him sling the thing through the woods. We aren't sponsored by these companies, nor are we paid by them, they contact us to see if we would do a review, they send the product and we review it. We tell them up front, that we will give a honest review, whether it be good or bad. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Thanks, Maxwell!! We really like using these mini electric chainsaws and can see a great use for the outdoorsman as well as the home owner. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

So far we don’t have any complaints. We have used my 4” like crazy before we got the 6” that they sent for Jerod. Thanks for watching and commenting, Matt. Juddie - J & J TOA

Thanks, Lonnie. So far Jerod and I are loving these. We have really put the 4" to extensive use before Jerod got the 6". We have no complaints either regarding these mini-electric chainsaws. As Jerod mentioned in the video, you don't want to force them, let them do the work. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Glenn, we love these little saws. Using them is a lot easier than using a fold up buck saw and exhausting your arm. You're right it isn't for cutting a load of firewood. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

No it isn't a bad little saw, Chad. Yes, great tool for pruning around the house or all the other little chores we mentioned about handing stands and shooting lanes. Even clearing some 4-wheeler trails, of course there are limits there. You are not going to cut a 24" diameter tree out of the way with this. Yes, the saw, even with the battery is lightweight and you can operate it with one hand. We love them so far. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Steve, you are absolutely right about little jobs. As we have said in the videos, setting up a new tree stand, you can use that to prune out some limbs in the tree where your stand is going. Then you can use it to open up some shooting lanes. It will cut anything that isn't larger that the bar length. Great tool to have around the house for pruning trees in the yard. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Thanks, Todd. Yes, it is a great little saw to have to do a lot of things. Keep from wearing out your arm using a buck saw!!! As we mentioned in the video, we have used the 4" saw a lot. Between the two saws Jerod and I can stay really busy opening up old abandoned 4-wheeler trails down on the farm. Of course, we will have to pull out the old Husky to get anything larger than 6"!! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Yes, it is Jason. It is something that we will carry in the side-by-side or my 4-wheeler. When setting up a new tree stand it will be great to use to prune some limbs and open up some shooting lanes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Donnie, it would be great for camping and cutting up small stuff for a campfire. It is also good for pruning trees around the house, clearing trails to walk or ride and for the hunter to clear shooting lanes. You just have to remember it's limitations, the 6" saw, nothing larger than 6" and with the 4" saw nothing larger than 4". Now we have stretched that a little, maybe by an inch or two, just remember it isn't for cutting up a 12" to 24" tree. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Exactly, Dave. Just got to remember it's limitations! Great tool for setting up a new stand or blind, clearing shooting lanes and brushing in a blind. Great for removing limbs out of 4-wheeler trails, and even use it around the house for pruning. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Yes, Dan, it would be nice to have around. As for the guard, the only issue with the guard is when cutting upside down or at a upward angle, like where Jerod was cutting that notch. When he was cutting up the tree after it was down, the guard didn't seem to cause any issues. It is a work horse for sure. I know, like Jerod said, don't force the saw, let it do the work. The chain is really sharp and was eating through that tree like a knife through soft butter. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Filipe, we figured that out after a while. I think Jerod even mentioned he thought it might have a protection circuit on the battery. These reviews of battery powered saws was a learning experience. I have always used a gasoline/oil chainsaw. Back in the 80's I actually cut trees for a living, Jerod, well this was really his first time messing with any type of chainsaw. Which I am sure you can tell in the video. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

On that day, when I brought Jerod the saw, it had not been charged. The batteries indicated a full charge, but I am sure that they were not fully charged. But since this video he has charged the batteries, and the saw works fine. Also, as he mentioned in the video, you don't want to force the saw, let the saw do the work. I do agree a larger AH capacity is needed in these batteries. Now, I have a 4-inch Saker saw, and it has the same battery but before I used it I did charge the battery and it worked great. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

Mike, I like them both. The way I look at it, the 6" gives you about 2" more diameter to cut where with the 4", if you try and cut something that the 6" could cut, you have to do a little more cutting and moving the saw around to get the job done. I would be happy with either one. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on that. They both chew through the wood like crazy, of course we know it is all about how sharp the chain is. The one thing to remember with these little saws is to let them do the work, don't force them. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures Thanks for the intel Juddie! They look like a handy little tool! They would sure be a lot lighter than my little stihl for hauling back in the woods. No mix gas to carry too.

Paul, Jerod and I really like them. They are great for what they are intended for. Again, thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Oil is our friend. We did oil after a few cuts, and you are correct, we didn’t show it. I had the little bottle of oil that Saker provided, and I was carrying a small can of WD-40 as well. We should have mentioned that you need to oil the bar and chain after a few cuts each time. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Usually Smity we are lugging around my Husky 16" gas chainsaw, but these work nice for small stuff. Again, the best thing about these are they are light, yes you have to keep the batteries charged, but for going out to clear a shooting lane for bow hunting, or even making a natural blind out of tree tops this is awesome to have. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Antonio, you are absolutely right. I have seen electric drills, circular saws, anything with brushes wears out. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie

Well, we are not professional tree cutters, and never claimed to be. To be fair, and Jerod explained in the video that he had never cut down trees with a chainsaw. Now of course, I worked on a timber crew back in the late 80's and I know how to cut trees down, but I was using a Stihl 034 AV chainsaw back then and now I have a Husqvarna 445 chainsaw to do anything around the house I need to do. These battery powered 4" and 6" chainsaws seem like babies. Make all the fun you want, but people have to start somewhere and since Jerod was doing this review, I let him cut the way he wanted. I used the 6" a few weeks ago to drop a 12-foot pine for him, I made the notch, went to the back and cut into the notch and the tree fell right where I wanted it. Then was able to trim the limbs and cut the trunk of the tree up into pieces. He didn't think it would do all of that before the battery would go dead. It did with battery to spare. We do appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures great job,PS i was just making fun and your right everybody has to learn. Have a great day ☺️

Yes, the chain saw comes with a small bottle of oil. You have to manually oil the chain and bar, it isn't an auto-oiling chain. Now of course, if you are cutting fruit trees, and it explains this in the manual, you will want to use something like vegetable oil. That way you are not contaminating the tree with a petroleum type oil. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Well, as I have explained to others that have posted a similar post, Jerod has never cut down a tree before. He has pruned tree limbs and such, but never cut a tree down. As for oiling the change, yes, we did oil the chain and I failed to video while that was being done. I was using a small bottle of oil that came provided with the saw. And I had a can of WD-40 to oil it, of course that isn't the proper oil to be using. I should have shown oiling the chain, or at least mentioned it when shooting the video. But I was more concerned on watching Jerod use the saw. I know how to cut trees myself. I worked on a tree crew on a surface mine for a year. I know the proper way to cut a notch and to come in from behind. I know before cutting the notch to determine where I want the tree to fall. In that year working on a tree crew, we cleared many acres of land before mining was to take place. I have the experience, but Jerod doesn't We appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J True Outdoor Adventures

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures I appreciate the explanation and clarification. Thank you.

@@NGMonocrom thank you for understanding about this. I didn't mean to be rude or anything, I just wanted to explain that he had never cut trees before. As for the oiling issue, I really should have explained in the video or shown it being done. Again, we appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie

The chainsaw won't be used during hunting season, unless you're there to clear a shooting lane at a new spot. This is used during the spring or summer before deer season. You can use it to clear shooting lanes, clear an area to put up a blind, open up a 4-wheeler trail. Remember this isn't for cutting down anything larger than 6" in diameter. Also, this can be used around the yard to prune trees. Doesn't need to be camo. Again, this isn't a tool to use during hunting season, this is for preparing for hunting season. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

Mike, these aren't really meant for cutting down trees, they are more for pruning limbs and maybe cutting saplings down. I used to cut trees for a living, back in the 80's. I worked for a contractor who had jobs clearing surface mine land for mining. Now of course, Jerod has never really cut down trees, and we were just testing the battery powered saw. We appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie - J & J TOA

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures I was talking about the way he was cutting the wedge and the way he was holding the tree and trying to cut it with the pressure pinching the saw. and the Saw has a cut off to protect the motor from overheating. If you were going to tell people about a product you need to know it up hand first.And I do understand it was a 6 inch Saw.I have one myself and it will cut a 6 inch diameter, but you have to take your time with it because it’s really not made for that. It is more of a pruner.

@@mikedavenport5803 absolutely understand Mike. This was his first time using that saw, and I guess we should have gotten more familiar with it before shooting the video. We were sent the 4" saw and I did the review with it when we were clearing a side-by-side path. You are absolutely correct that it is more of a pruner than anything else.

The instructions that came with the saw state not to cut trees any larger than 6 inches. But this was a review of the chainsaw that was sent to us, and we were going to test it. Jerod was having a hard time getting into a proper position with the saw. The safety switch is on one side and holding it in your left hand made it awkward to use. Well, we are not professional tree cutters, and never claimed to be. To be fair, and Jerod explained in the video that he had never cut down trees with a chainsaw. Now of course, I worked on a timber crew back in the late 80's and I know how to cut trees down, did it for a living, but I was using a Stihl 034 AV chainsaw back then and now I have a Husqvarna 445 chainsaw to do anything around the house I need to do.

We do appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures I did give him credit for saying he's no expert, but then again just hearing say that the tree was too big when the saw could handle it with proof after he sawed through the same tree five times when just one cut without a wedge would have been enough to push it on over like he did anyway. Two days ago I got the 6" SAKER and today first cut most of the lower branches off a huge ceder tree with it then used a 10' WORXS Corded pruning saw to get as many as I could reach as the tree was about 50 feet high. I then removed the prunning pole and cut a wedge in the tree so I could aim it between my home and privacy fence. I cut the back side having to circle around because the tree was about 12" in diamiter using a 10" saw I had no problem but was actually edgy about how accurate the fall would be due to the wind blowing so hard. It went down right between my home and the fence about 20 feet apart. I'm no expert either Had a few chainsaws and still have a gas powered 20" saw, but can't stand the noise so, I used the electric saws to be stealthy. Timber crews hardly cut trees with chainsaws now days like back in the days. I've been watching timber crews down the road clearing a pine forrest and they are using machines that grab them cut them strip them and lay them down with no chainsaws in site.
