Read all the reviews when I bought this product, and let me tell you that all the good reviews are correct. Lightweight easy to use works almost effortlessly. I bought this for cutting down the aborvitaes in my front yard that were damaged by the storm. A few large branches were blown off and this chainsaw cut them up into little pieces no problem, and it didn't use a lot of oil or make a mess. I will be using the chainsaw more thoroughly when I cut down the rest of the trees but as far as I know I don't have any problems with the chainsaw.

I have no complaints. It's solid, good price. The 12amps 16"saw, keeps running with plenty of power. I'm heavy into Milwaukee and I was think of the battery operator saw. I'm sure glad I didn't!

This is my first chain saw. I wish I'd noticed much earlier that there were *corded* electric chainsaws. After experience with other gas powered yard tools I didn't want the weight, noise and constant maintenance and repair of a gas saw.

This saw is great though. It's relatively lightweight, so it's pretty easy to handle. I'm old and not that strong and I can handle it easily. I cut up some fallen branches up to 10" in diameter and had no trouble at all. The self oiler seems to work fine. The chain adjustment is easy. I literally cannot find anything to criticize on this tool.

And since it's electric, it can sit on a shelf for months or even years and then it just works, no fuss no trouble.

For the cost, this is an excellent chainsaw!!

First know that this is the same version as Black+Decker version. Stanley Black and Decker (SBD), which also owns DeWalt and Porter Cable among other brands, bought Craftsman and just changed the color plastic in the injection molds. If you are like me, you feel better buying Craftsman.

This little chainsaw is supposed to be only for light loads, but I put it through the ringer doing stump removal and sawing through stumps. It worked well and was able to remove the smaller stumps, though it struggled on the big 3ft+ stumps. I was able to get a lot of the big roots and even remove big chunks of the stumps. This is really gas chainsaw application (or stump grinder) so I was pretty impressed it was able to cut. Went through about 6 chainsaw chains, that's what happens with stumps and rocks.

I also used it to cut small trees for firewood and it worked great.

Why not 5 stars? The chain tensioning system really needs to be better. The dial is easy to use but it gets too loose, too easily. Also too many plastic parts when I would have liked to see these be metal. I'm sure this was to save costs (which I did appreciate) but I would pay a bit more for a slightly better system.
