    This thing has some real grunt on it considering the price, cut down 2 trees on my property with it after a 240v corded electric chainsaw motor burnt out attempting it

  • +2

    The 36V model drains two 4Ah batteries like a vampire. I can't imagine this model lasting very long on one battery.

    • +4

      I use a rather nice and quite expensive (not mine) Stihl battery chainsaw. They're 36V and just over 5ah and the battery lasts a usable amount of time but if I didn't have a supply of 4 fully charged batteries on standby I'd go with a petrol powered saw for my own use.

      Most of the time, if I'm cutting stuff at home I just go with a recip saw with a big pruning blade. Much cheaper, much safer and much more versatile.

      Odd, I was quite impressed with mine.
      I cut down an approx 7 metre tree, maybe a foot diameter at the base, lopped the top branches off, dropped the trunk then cut it up and I still had charge on the 4ah batteries.
      I agree though, this deal would eat the battery quick, being 18v and brushed, personally I'd steer clear, it would only be for very light duty.

      • +2

        This 18v brushed chainsaw is capable of more than just light duty. It’s definitely for smaller jobs but I’ve pushed it through cutting down some very old dead fruit trees that would be 50+cm wide at the trunk and it was workable although obviously not ideal.
        It’s pretty good but if you want a serious chainsaw definitely go for the larger brushless model instead.

      • +2

        Definitely go for 36V for bigger trunks/hardwood. I've got an Aldi 18V chainsaw and "pruner". They hardly made a dent in the trunk of a 30-40cm hardwood.

        Luckily 2 years ago Katana had an intro sale of their brushless 16" chainsaw with 2x 4Ah batteries - I made two cuts, that still took over half an hour - second cut was as close to base as possible and included roots.

        It's much easier to cut softwood trunks 40-50cm - takes around 10 minutes (you can't do in one cut and have to align multiple cuts which takes time).

        • Yes true, mine bogs down with deadwood even with a new chain. The batteries overheat and shutdown and beep like a bitch.

    I had this unit for a year or so. The motor smoked itself eventually. Really I didn't use it many times and I kept the chain sharp. Purchased the 36v brushless as a replacement. That saw is a proper tool, I've used it at a friends farm to cut green and dry timber and it is great. You just need a good number of 4ah batteries to keep it going. Bypass this smaller unit for the 36v IMO

    • Unfortunately, the 36V hasn't been on sale for about a year (I've been checking regularly).

      • Good chance to come up in 3rd/4th week of May, as has done previously 2022 ($149) & 2024 ($138)

  • Got the 14" and it's a beast

    • Due in late may 2026 history says!

    I've got the 36v version. The chain is easy to stall with too much pressure.
    I couldn't imagine using a 18v version.

    • +5

      If you’re using pressure your chain isn’t sharp

      • Agree. If the chain is sharp and correctly tensioned then the weight of the chainsaw is all that's required.

        • I believe @tanksinatra means that the chainsaw will stall without much resistance, not downward pressure.

          A chain can only be so sharp before the motor simply can't handle the resistance.

        • I think the amount of pressure depends on RPM and torque. Higher torque and lower RPM requires more down force. Source: Project Farm.

    The battery is worth $33 alone!

    What are you using to track bunings prices and know when something is "cheap" or discounted?

  • This is a very average chainsaw.
    Basically the same as the xu1 $39 deal but with a bigger battery.

    The motor is brushed and the chain oiler leaks oil into the motor which isn't great.

    I ended up getting rid of mine and buying an 18v brushless chainsaw off eBay instead which is much better, but likely not as good as the 2x18v ozito one.

    • I bought this as a skin a few years ago and put 12" bar on it.
      The motor did eventually oil up but I stripped it and cleaned it out so I need a new excuse to buy the brushless one.
      You can get through quite a bit if you are prepared to take your time.
      I have 2 4AH batteries and 2 chargers bought for $99. I probably paid $129 for the skin.

    • The 36v brushless one leaks bar oil just as bad.

      • Yeah I probably wouldn't have got an ozito if I knew how much they leak bar oil, it's a bit of PITA to have to fill and empty every use.

        At least they acknowledge it with the point about emptying it when not in use, just wish I'd RTFM before buying it

        • +1

          Most chainsaws leak bar oil. I store my Husqvarna 2T with the oil/petrol fillers facing down to avoid this issue.

  • Had this kit for about couple of years have chopped fair few branches/trees but i agree 36V would be a better option as sometimes it struggles to get through the thicker logs/branches.

  • +1

    Got this kit for $67 a few years ago, its a great little camping saw, has slow chain speed but does the job, also used for small trees snd hedge removal. Providing you are a only using for small jobs it’s fine

  • What is the RRP?

    • Rrp $224

    It's worth noting that most of these 'consumer' grade electric saws will come with low kickback chains, which are designed to protect Mum & Dad level users from doing daft stuff. Downside is they cut a LOT worse than a 'regular' chain (obviously in the same specs are your saw can handle!!!)

    Can be tricky to source BUT if you can get them, a regular chain will give much superior results - providing you can use properly & not need the low kickback chains. I ordered myself a bunch from the US a few years back - made a huge difference to the OEM Oregon chains that came with them.

  • I also grabbed one of these years ago in the $67 sale. I mainly got it just for the battery but then realised how useful a chainsaw is to add to the arsenal. I've managed to cut through decent piles of hardwood and all sorts of stuff in the garden. But honestly, for this price don't bother. I've since upgraded to a 56v Ego and what would take this thing 10-15 seconds is now done in the blink of an eye. I've heard great things about the 36v version, but honestly this thing is a toy.

  • Hey OP what's the $99, sorry not following? I have one pass , do you mean $99 with one pass ? Thanks

    • I think they are saying free delivery with OnePass or tools order over $99…

      • Oh yes , makes sense now, thank you!
