Cordless Chainsaw Universalchain 18

Great bit of kit.

It’ll take down boughs and trunks of decent girth, and you get a good number of cuts from the 2.5 amp hour battery supplied. With care, you’ll be able to deal with larger diameters than claimed, but be sensible with it. Even though there is minimal kick back given the small bar and the tip protector, with a bit of experience and confidence you can be felling larger sized trees than you might expect - and there’s the risk for the amateur…

It’s a pruning chainsaw. If that’s what you want, it’s brilliant

This chainsaw will easily cut through branches up to about 4 inches in diameter. If that’s what you want, it’s a brilliant choice. The fact that it’s small makes it easy to manoeuvre, and this is where it beats bigger chainsaws hands down. It comes supplied with enough oil to fill the reservoir once, but it’s a good idea to buy more oil at the time of purchase so you don’t get stuck when the original supply runs out. Being a chainsaw newbie, I didn’t originally realise the importance of using the grippers: the main one at the base of the chainsaw, and the smaller one at the far end of the chai

Love it

I am a woman in my 60’s, it’s light and easy to use. I sharpen the chain and clean it every time I use it and am very pleased with it. I’ve bought a second battery as the one supplied does only last for 20 minutes to half an hour but is able to cope with all the branches and small logs to keep me supplied with firewood .Obviously not designed for heavy duty but suits me fine.

Typical Bosch

I have several batteries and can have a spare available when needed, so battery life is not really an issue for me.

Not the most powerful but a good little electric chainsaw

If you want a small fairly light chainsaw - this does the job. It’s not the most powerful, but as long as you use it within its limits it does the job well. Once I got the hang of using the thing on the end of the blade to grip the wood it was much more effective.
