Saker Mini Chainsaw Cordless,Portable Electric Chain Saw

I bought this small chainsaw about 6 months ago for light cutting of branches and brush around the yard with the hope that it could handle some tasks more easily than could be done with large lopping shears or hand saws. I have had occasion to use it several times since purchase and have, each time, been pleased at how well such a small electric saw has handled the tasks at hand. It cuts smaller branches rapidly and with ease since it has good power and cutting speed. Just today, we had a very large branch come down due to age and wind. It is clearly large enough to require professional removal by an arborist. But, the end section of the branch was smaller in size (4" - 5" thickness) and had fallen in such a way as to create a problem across our driveway. I decided to see if this saw could handle this section for me . . . . .and it did so with ease. I did not try to cut through the full thickness of the branch, but easily cut about 2" into it on one side and then did the same from the other side. This left a small piece in the middle to be cut and my Saker saw cut that away with ease - problem solved. Don't be fooled by the term "mini" electric saw. Yes, it's a small saw for small jobs, but it functions with easy handling and excellent power for many types and sizes of yard brush and trees. It's a saw that outperforms what one might expect of a saw at this very modest price. I only wish that I had bought it with a carrying case for ease of storage and transport, but that was my error of judgment. The saw performs fully as well as advertised. Would I buy it again if I had it to do over? Absolutely!

I've been using this electric chainsaw for a few days now and it has been pretty good. As someone who has never used any type of chainsaw, I would say that this one is good for a beginner. First, I will note that I had a dumb moment preparing the saw. Specifically, you are supposed to oil the chain before each use. I watched a couple of videos where people did this and would grasp the chain to spin it around while oiling. So I did that too. Well, let's just say that I cut my finger doing that (bad on me). Things that I have learned after using the device: 1) Just oil the visible section of the chain and don't worry about spinning it around. If you feel that you should spin it around, wear gloves. 2) You'll want to get used to the device. At first, it might bounce a little bit when you're applying it to a shrub/wood. However, as you get used to it, you'll figure out the amount of pressure to apply when using it. 3) You will need to tighten the chain to the device on a regular basis (using the provided tools). It's really easy to do. So don't get worried about having to do that. 4) Make sure that you use protective eyewear. I've never drained the battery when using the saw. However, I have charged it multiple times and have had no issues charging it thus far. I should note that I've been using it to cut out/up a hillside full of dead/dying juniper shrubs. So far, it has been going well (much better than a hand saw I was previously using). I'll update my review if I run into any issues but I have used it on 3 different days. Overall, I would say that the saw is worth considering/purchasing if you want to save time.

Didnt have much hope for this little tool, when taking it out of the package, but Ive been blown away at its effectiveness and utility! I use it to cut little branches in the garden, trim azaelas and cut felled limbs for my fire. The battery charge has never died during use, an it is light weight and versitile! I dont often write reviews, but this little chainsaw was deserving. 5 stars!

This is a replacement saw for my original, bought a few years ago. That one stopped working over this last winter. The original batteries work well with this although the newer battery is slightly longer. It works well for small branches up to about 3" . I did transfer the 6" bar and chain from the old saw to the new one and it works fine. I didn't realize this was only a 4" saw when I placed the order. Verify the size when ordering.

I bought this one as a gift for my son, but I have had mine for over a year and I still love it! The only thing I needed to do after reading the directions was add some oil to the chain and it was ready to go! Rubber work gloves and protective eye googles are included in the box. This mini chain saw is simple to operate, light and easy to handle, and makes quick work of cutting branches and trees up to 4" thick, which doesn't sound like much but that is a decent sized branch. Battery power was strong though several hours of work. Game changer! Wish I'd bought one years ago!

This is a wonderful tool! I was amazed when I used it. And a bonus for me, is that it is easy to clean up after cutting branches!

I wasn’t expecting much at this price, but this mini chainsaw really surprised me. It’s much stronger than I imagined and handled every branch I threw at it in my backyard. From small limbs to thicker branches, it cut through everything smoothly. The battery charge lasts a long time, which makes the work go faster without constant recharging. For the price and performance, this is an easy recommendation.

This saw was exactly what I needed to handle getting into some tight spaces and did surprisingly well on some fairly large branches and trunks. I was easily able to cut branches even a little larger than the 4” blade by altering my angle. Got job done quickly and easily.

Perfecto

The small size of the Saker saw may seem like a gimmicky tool, hence my initial skepticism. I decided to try it after watching some video reviews. In short, in actual use, it works great! It is really excellent for folks who are intimidated by a full size chainsaw and need it for branches 4" and under. The small size even made it useful/flexible to cut tree roots that were pushing up some paver stones; something definitely not advised with a full chainsaw. Perhaps most surprising was the long lasting battery; using it while trimming and cutting up branches from a felled tree, it did not run out. It is actually fun to use, so anytime I pull it out, I'm always looking around for something else to use it on. Looking around for more work! Lol! This Saker saw is extremely useful: recommended.

Love this little gadget! Easy to use, charge, etc. Cleaned up a lot of my branches in a short amount of time. Would highly recommend

Works great to remove hard tall grasses. Easy to handle and has great power!

I just received my mini chain saw. The instruction book is useless. I have never operated a chainsaw before. Instructions tell you many what not-to-do's but don't tell you how to know when battery is charged, how to operate, etc. No step by step guide. Comes with a tiny oil vial but instructions don't even tell you what kind it is (booklet says do not use mineral oil on fruit trees - is this mineral oil?) Thank goodness for You-Tube. Don't expect any step by step instructions with this unit! Now to try it out, now that YouTube has shown me how to use the thing! Who writes instruction books for these companies?!! &*%$@
