THANK YOU!! I purchased a Jardan mini chain saw recently and I'm watching your video for instructions. I am a senior citizen just turned 67 and a woman(YEAH ) making my life easy love work in my yard, so hope this saw will help. The one I have came with a caring case 2 batteries ,charging cord and tool to put it together, gloves and instructions. After watching your video I confident I can use this tool :)

[@MisterLumpkin]

I bought one of these last fall and it's been a great tool. I expected it to last only a few cutting sessions but it has lasted way beyond that and even made it through the aftermath of the recent Texas ice storm. Lots of downed tree branches. I like it better than my Dewalt pole saw. One of the two batteries that came with mine quit charging after 6 months, but that's my only complaint so far. Thanks for the tip about using Makita batteries. Now I have an excuse to buy yet another battery charger to clutter up my workbench.

[@gskyle4822]

Got mine from Amazon too. I was expecting it to cut like butter. But it bounces like crazy. I tighten the chain a bit, but it still bounces. Do you have any tips? Never used a chain saw before. Do I suppose to rest the saw on the branch as close to the handle as possible and apply very firm pressure?

[@Amigatech]

@@gskyle4822 yes, chainsaws are normally heavy, so with this very light tool you do need to apply some pressure. Be careful.

[@gskyle4822]

@@Amigatech Thx Amiga! I ve also discovered two critical issues since then. First, i shouldn't have turned the power on before i rest it against the trunk, which led to the 2nd issue where i noticed no matter how gently i press the power button, it always revves up to the highest speed and bounces back. When i forced it to stay on the wood, one of the blades actually chipped off. So, i bought a much cheaper one from Amazon. And Voila, the variable speed actually works - i can start at low RPM and let the chain of blades slowly grab onto the wood before revving it up, bouncing is reduced substantially and it actually cuts now. But this cheap version have no lock button, handle guard, and no reverse button unlike the first one i got which had all the bells and whistles, except it does NOT cut!

[@richardandgillstagg1799]

Thanks for an informative video. I have always been taught however, that the chain should be running on any chainsaw before it is introduced to the wood. If you start it when already touching the wood, it pulls the saw forward and can be dangerous. Particularly with a bigger saw.

We ordered one after seeing your video and it works great. We had some large branches from backyard trees that had to come down and we needed to chop them up for fire wood and it worked well.

[@rogerjustice8835]

My wife gave my son and I one for Christmas 2 years ago, I almost laughed when I opened it. But I have been using it a lot lately, these things are very useful. One thing I have noticed is when used hard they overheat and shut down, since she bought 2 I just alternate between them when they start getting to hot. These things are great for trimming limbs and cutting up scraps of wood for kindling. Very handy and inexpensive to have around, using makita batteries is something I didn’t know.

[@samday6621]

Surprising! You sounded sceptical at the start. I’m a landscape gardener and interested how manoeuvrable it’d be in a dense thicket. You attacked the shrub by the gate without hassle, so I’m guessing nothing got in the way, like the safety guard or battery. 👍🏼

[@emichels]

They come now fully assembled, a bit more powerful. I love mine. You can get them with or without a safety, I got mine without. Only because with the safety, it's much harder to operate as you have to press two buttons at once to get the blade going. I take mine everywhere. Very handy.

[@timothydoblinger9905]

Most important thing you didn't go in to the oiler we need to know how the oiler oils cuz otherwise the chainsaw be junk after two or three uses without an oiler please explain

[@TheOleHermit]

Cute chainsaw. Enjoyed the review and exposure of the 'marketing embellishment'. Liked your idea about carrying it along with your mower. All you need is a holster lol But, IMHO, a cordless pole saw is much more practical. In AZ, most bushes have thorns and some even have rattlesnakes under them. A pole saw avoids getting too close and personally injured. Having said that, my recent Greenworks pole saw only lasted one day, before seizing up. Gotta love Amazon's return policy.

[@AndrewVelonis]

I heat with wood, and I use a lot of small wood as well as full size logs, so this would be great for cutting sticks.

[@cq608]

I bought one of these and I am absolutely thrilled to have it. I was able to trim a massive amount of bushes and trees branches and the battery was still going. This sure beats using loppers trying to trim branches. I know they seem to look like cheap little tools, but they do work for those smaller branches, and like you showed, you can cut through bigger branches, just take your time. Thumbs up from me.

You could give that thing a substantial bit more battery duration if you replaced the lithium batteries with some higher capacity ones. Depending on where you buy them you can get 3400 mA/hr 18650's for €3 a piece, and often even cheaper if you find a good deal on them, so just €15 to more then double the battery capacity.

[@egold1006]

I just bought a 6 inch model. What took 5 hours with an electric 14 inch chainsaw, the time was cut in half. Best part it is lightweight. Easy to tension chain without disassembly.

[@stevehutchesson1321]

I bought mine from Banggood and it works fine. You have to work out how to adjust the chain tension with the small screw and undoing the side bolt a little first but its easy enough to do. OK for trimming small branches but its really useful at cutting up big cardboard boxes to pack them into a bin. Paid peanuts for it, arrived within a reasonable time frame and it works well. One trick, I lubricate the chain track with a spray can of lithium grease.

[@nate2838]

I never would have thought about using it for cardboard. Nice.

[@leelindsay5618]

I got one and liked it so much I bought one for a family member and one for a friend (extended family). The "advertising" on the side is hysterical, but I disengage the battery when walking or carrying for safety, because spinning blades are no joke. Unlike a gas chainsaw, once you stop cutting, you can hear what's going on around you and there is way less fatigue from vibration. My firewood looks awesome this year and is ready for the next Snowpocalypse.

[@dalepage5511]

Don't put the blade in contact with the wood before you pull the trigger. Let the saw come to speed in mid air.

I agree very much with your positive review. I bought one of those from Banggood a few days ago, and it has surpassed my expectations. I felled a few small dead trees (trunks up to 100mm) and cut a lot of dead branches in no time. I was glad to see in your video that it can indeed take Makita batteries, and vica-versa of course, because that means that the bigger batteries with longer run-times can be used too, and they are readily available. It seems that that 48Vf moniker is a rating of some sort, not a voltage indicator. Mine has 88Vf, and there are others with different numbers, but they are all 18V or 21V.

SAFETY NOTE: the "blade" can slide SIDEWAYS in various conditions (especially when the chain is dull) so be very careful with holding a piece by hand. If I'm not mistaken there are gloves on the market that are designed for saw protection, though i am not sure how well they would work with this as the method used to stop the chain is by clogging the chainsaw clutch with fiber. If anyone has this, chainsaw protection, and is willing to check this (not wearing it during test of course) i'm very curious if saw protection works for this as well. That being said, i hope everyone has a great day and enjoys their tools :)

[@BigDawg771]

In place of a human finger, our shop teacher always used a hot dog to demonstrate what could happen if you stuck your finger where it didn't belong (a rather graphic and pointed lesson I might add!). 👍 Of course, that was back in the day before there were blade-brake features like some saws/tools have these days! 🤣

[@a1930ford]

I have a similar one, but it lacks the guard shield. It came with 2 batteries and a charger. They weird thing is that so many of them cost almost as much as the unit to replace a battery or get a charger with a battery. That said, I used mine immediately for cutting up fallen branches from a red oak tree so they would go into my totter. It worked like a charm and since I have rheumatoid arthritis, this is a world of help, unlike having to use my larger chain saw. I didn't want something that just took up space in my garage shelfs like my heavier chain saw and this little unit fit that bill quite nicely. Not sure how long a chain will last or the unit itself, but already it has saved me a lot of headache in removing limbs or trimming those shoots from my large holly shrubs.

Thank you for this very detailed presentation. I very much like the disassembly of the battery -- and the demonstration that the saw functions with a Makita 18volt battery ( I have 7 ). A question. In the past, Makita offered a mini-chainsaw. Did they discontinue the saw due to injuries? A one-handed chainsaw presents an opportunity for an emergency room adventure. You demonstrated this saw a year ago. Does it still function? Does the company still offer the saw? I will buy if you respond ( and give you the commission, if any ). Thank you.

I bought one of these, used it well for about 10 hours and the motor burnt out. It is more of a novelty. When it worked it worked well, but didn't really last.

Never used a chain saw before. Got my mini chain saw today. I was expecting it to cut like butter. But it bounces like crazy. I tighten the chain a bit, but still bounces. Do you have to apply very firm pressure? Or, did i get a lemon? ☹️

[@panayiotispanayides2141]

@@gskyle4822 Hi, yes it does bounce and you need to force it down as it cuts, not so much to stall the motor, but it does not compare to a real chain saw. Ideal for pruning those slightly thicker branches without the need to get out the real beast.

Mexican Cartel Christmas wish list😎

[@MakingStuff]

I heard Hector Salamanca got one for all his employees.

[@mr.cookie7308]

Im buying whatever tools the mexican cartels use bc Im a badass homeowner.

[@andyrose8642]

Thanks for the review, I have seen them advertised but never pursued them for lack of faith in most imported tools.

[@cimuraisampi]

i bought one this cheap battery chain saw, its cutting quite ok but the problem is its motor getting hot very fast, just after 2 cut of 4" soft wood and its stop working until cooling down. and its chain can easily getting stuck with debris that slipped into drive sprocket enclosure.

[@99unclebob]

nice review , i could use this around home with all the maple trees in my yard, this will be good I am a Makita owner of too many tools so i would never use the battery that comes with it, my 5.0 amp hour battery that thing would run longer than i could hold it for, definitely gonna check it out, you can't go wrong for $55 👍

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@jameskoch7190]

Yes you can. You should meet SallySue at the DewDropInn at about 2 am.

[@jglis3150]

How do I buy one ?.

[@alexecheverria]

I got one (no battery, no oil flask) for peanuts and was able to trim long branches from a big tree that were anoying my neighbor at no time on one charge. t is quite impresive! I got hurt when I holded one branch too close to where I was about to cut and the chain tool bounched at contact of branch and touched my hand. It was a nasty skin chunk but used onion skin to cover my wound. Be very careful with this tool!!!

[@BluuurghAg9]

onion skin? What does that do to a wound?

[@alexecheverria]

@@BluuurghAg9 It stops bleeding and covers wound if you have no band aid :D

[@gtgodbear6320]

That's probably the best design to make an electric bicycle. Just changed the chain sprocket and mounted in the same place you would mount a gas engine. The other design you have to mount the power drill behind your seat above the rear tire.

[@zyborg47]

Cheers for the review, I just had one delivered, ordered because of your video. Be great for my conifer trees. I live in the UK and we don't have Bamboo here either :)

[@MakingStuff]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@cdl1701]

Marketing embellishment? Call it what it is... flat-out lying but what do you expect from Bangood. Been thinking about getting one of these so thanks for the review!

[@idacow8237]

it would be great for field dressing and quartering a moose, elk or deer, just use cooking oil for chain lube

[@keys72]

You in your garage: 🪚 🩸🍖🩸 🪓🍖🩸 🔪 Your neighbours: 😬

[@MrRossBrisbane]

Purchased two of these. One like Makita color and other like Bosch copy. They both burnt out the motors. In Australia our timbers are much more rough and tough. The tools work for really well to begin with but with super hot summers they take their toll on the small motors. Both burnt out with white smelly electric burning smells. The burning out I believe is progressive as the motor gets noisier and grates the more you use them. They just pass a bit smoke and die. Battery tested in another tool it worked fine. I have an intelligent Makita charger and showed battery was still 90% capacity.

[@thekat268]

I bought one and love it! Am 70 years old. Can finally prune my peach tree.

[@EdKrisiak]

Great for cutting live Christmas trees!!!!

[@bestamerica]

hi E K... ' dont cut christmas tree in december... better leave pretty tree alone growwing on the ground

[@andyconstantinou8752]

best i ever had

[@foxwood67]

AVE has relegated his to opening boxes but he has a Bosch model which Is ridiculously priced. Yours was surprisingly useful and had more power than i would have suspected. Perfect for trimming saplings and branches up to 3" diameter. Nice buy

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Yeah, but it's a tiny chainsaw and fun to use. You can't put a price on fun; plus, I got it as a present, so it was FREE!

[@CrimsonRaven51]

Thank you so much for your video. I bought one of these a couple of days ago, but the instructions were not clear. Really appreciate the demonstrations.

[@MakingStuff]

Glad I could help!

[@TexazFox666]

thanks for making a real world product testing video and actually testing t the way it should be properly tested

[@MakingStuff]

Glad you liked it!

[@user-qg2uf8jp3h]

I was impressed by the way he pruned the bushes after eating the Spinach.

[@bobbelsekwol]

The capability of taking fingers off because its only small, is massive. Holding onto branches whilst the chainsaw is cutting away is madness. Dont underestimate the devastation this'll cause.

[@plum1000]

The concept of "just be careful" is more than a casual comment. That said, just be careful; be coffee'd; be awake; be careful. That said, being "consciously careful" and awake will likely keep you safe for a lifetime... or not.

[@joelalleman9591]

i would have loved to have had 1 of these when I was younger and climbed in trees to do very high pruning when all that was available to me at that time was a manual saw !! This thing would have been a great work and timesaver !!!!! I really like this thing , Thanks for sharing !!

[@stepheniecokeley9276]

thank you for showing me the strength of it. what is the make of it and wattage please. I'm 76 years and disabled female and know nothing about DIY, so that did help me 😃a long way. God Bless you. x

Check the link in the description.

[@marktraum9139]

When using chainsaws, it's wrong to start the tool on the surface.

[@BoiledOctopus]

Correct. Highly dangerous especially with bigger models, as can kick back.

[@carlcox7332]

Especially while holding the piece with his other hand so close to the chain. I cringed when he tried to cut those larger pieces.

[@nmflash1665]

I agree = bad bad technique. You're supposed to let the chain get up to full speed before contacting the wood. Be safe out there!

[@twotone3070]

My mind went immediately to "Louisiana Hunting Trip"

[@Brian67588]

He must have been trying to get it to kick. I was more worried when he was talking under the tree and moved the blade near his head, could be very easy to squeeze that trigger with no locking mechanism.

[@grumpy46100]

Thanks for video. Helped me to make sense of Chinese manufacturer's instructions written in barely intelligible English! Would welcome a video on mini-chainsaw maintenance, notably lubrication and sharpening (instructions offer no guidance on how and when to lubricate saw, nor on how to keep blades sharpened).

[@4esses]

My concern is that there is no chain lube. Are you supposed to manually oil it as you're cutting wood?
