I was a Husqvarna dealer in the 80's. I still have my original saws. They run like the day I bought them. I now own seven Husqvarna products. I just bought a 592XP and just ordered a 120i. In 50 years they have never failed me, not once! I wouldn't own anything else. Thank you for posting this video. Shalom/gw
I have the 350i Husqvarna and it's really nice, it has metal bucking spikes and metal in support of the bar. built tough and has tons of power. 7.5 ah battery lasts surprising long.
I read lots of bad reviews about these little husky saws. I bought a Poweraxe. Newer bigger (bar length) saw. I love it. Works amazing. No trouble. I’m sure this one is probably just as good now that I’ve had the other saw.
Not a saw for me but I would like a battery powered pole saw for clearing my trails. Keep up the good work. I enjoy every video but don’t always like or comment as I prefer to watch them in the big screen. I do enjoy watching you and your dad work together and that you get your wife and children involved. That is how my dad taught my brother and I. Again keep up the good work. Still watching from New York State.
Hi Paul, thanks for leaving us a comment! Hopefully the video quality is getting better for the big screen. We purchased a camera that shoots in 4K a couple of videos ago now just for that purpose! Take care, Jason.
I completely agree with what you guys said. I went with the Milwaukee just because I already had batteries and chargers. I love; no/little noise, instance on/off and no gas. They recommend a 12 amp hr battery but I have had good luck with my 5 amp batteries. My cordless poll saw is also a great rig to have in the woods.
@@OakMountainAcotts It's battery powered. I couldn't be happier with it. IMO, when used for the intended applications, these saws work great. In another video the reviewer doesn't have anything good to say about his battery powered saw. But I could write a book about what he does wrong in the video. Shalom/gw
Thanks for this review. I have this saw. The batteries also fit my Husqvarna pole saw, hedge cutter and long-reach hedge cutter. I love them. Greetings from North Wales, UK.
How is with the chain tightness? I have a this model and its difficult to get chain to stay tight. When you have the nut tight it feels like theres not enought press towards the plate ?
Ok, thank you for your quick answer. I'll check it one more time. Just being really frustrated with it. Feels like finger tightening just ain't enough...😅
How's she goin'? Battery powered tools sure have improved and this saw looks like a workhorse for sure. Charlie was giving it a good go and it handled it all pretty well. Not for logging, but that's not what it's for. Thanks for the honest review and Merry Christmas!!!
Hi Mike, I bought this little saw for Dad to use around the sawmill. I figured it would be perfect to cut the odd limb from a log. Happy Holidays and hope you folks have a Merry Christmas!
Good review guys! I’ve tried a Milwaukee with about the same conclusion. Almost there, still needs some additional power as a pro use saw. But I don’t think that is far around the corner, and I suspect I’m probably on my last gas 60cc saw.
Hi Craig, I have been to the saw shop twice to buy the largest battery powered Husqvarna on the market. The first time they didn't have one in stock and the second time, I still couldn't justify the $1500 price tag.... I think they are awesome but even for an early adopter like me, there is a limit to what I'm willing to spend! Take care, Jason.
@@OakMountainAcotts My 555 Husqvarna on a good sale with an 18" replaceable tip bar was pretty handy to $1000, 4 years ago. So the prices and capabilities are converging for sure!
Ive had the same saw for about 2 1/2 years now. Is it a production saw? Absolutely not. But I can say that between my wife and I, its cut at least 9 cords of wood. She tops all the trees out with it, blocks up the stuff 5 inches and under. Plus when we put our new wood stove in, we found out our 10 cords of wood where all about 4" too long. We cut virtually all of it down with that little saw. The one thing that kills the battery more then anything else we find is when you dog it down. Just let it run full speed and let it cut. Dont force it. Also, if it's below Zero the battery dies pretty fast.
We are in Atlantic Canada. This property was "high graded" twice since the 1960's so the wood is not that great. We are trying to take out inferior trees for spacing and leave the best to restore the forest...
Hey Jason, its crazy to think you guys were impacted by the wind storm just like us in Michigan. Nice job connecting the trail clean up with a battery chainsaw review, love the economy mode that the Husqvarna has. We are frequently using the Stihl MSA 220 Battery chainsaw for trail clean up! Best, David & Rachel from CFS
My neighbour had a tree service do a bunch of pruning, the entire crew had electric chain saws and they were pretty quiet. They work well in an urban environment. I would be concerned with battery life, they can cost almost as much as the saw.

Great feedback! I’ve owned them for nearly 30 years now and have nothing bad to say about them!

Sounds nice! I would love to try the biggest one they make before purchasing one..
Thank you for sharing. Good info while i drink my coffee. 8 inches of fresh snow this AM in Northern NH.
We woke up to 2 inches of snow this morning. I guess we will have a white Christmas after all!

It has been working well for us. Not going to replace a 45 or 50cc gas saw, but it has its’ place.
Not a saw for me but I would like a battery powered pole saw for clearing my trails.

I would love to have a powered pole saw for the trails. I bet they work great!
@@OakMountainAcotts For what it's worth, I own a Husqvarna pole saw. It's heavy, but it works fantastically. It's a man's tool. Shalom/gw
Thanks! Is it battery powered or a gas unit? I bet I could run it!
@@OakMountainAcotts It's battery powered. I couldn't be happier with it. IMO, when used for the intended applications, these saws work great.

Thank you. I’ll have to watch a few videos on them.
Thanks for this review. I have this saw. The batteries also fit my Husqvarna pole saw, hedge cutter and long-reach hedge cutter. I love them. Greetings from North Wales, UK.
Very cool. I didn’t know that there was a pole saw and a hedge cutter as well! I need Al of those tools ;)
Happy New Year!
@@OakMountainAcotts The pole saw is the most useful attachment.
I bet.. they are on my wish list now!
How is with the chain tightness? I have a this model and its difficult to get chain to stay tight. When you have the nut tight it feels like theres not enought press towards the plate ?
No issues with ours… does it need a good cleaning?
Ok, thank you for your quick answer. I'll check it one more time. Just being really frustrated with it. Feels like finger tightening just ain't enough...😅
Thank you for the review. It’s always a good idea to get other peoples thoughts on a product, both bad and good
Thanks for stopping by Ken. We had fun making this video!

I have the newer consumer version of this and it’s great. Power axe.. highly recommend
Awesome! Can’t beat them….

Will the saw allow to vary the speed input?
Interesting country. Trees not very tall. Maybe upper Canadia? Or border state
I think if you feathered the trigger the speed would adjust however, I find it best to run the chain at full speed to avoid "grabbing" the wood.

That's a dandy little saw!
Hi Shane, it seems to work pretty well! I would like to have the big one that they make but I can buy two gas powered saws for the same price!

Hi guys, thanks for watching this video! I’ve been checking out your cider reviews. Keep it up! Jason
My neighbour had a tree service do a bunch of pruning, the entire crew had electric chain saws and they were pretty quiet. They work well in an urban environment. I would be concerned with battery life, they can cost almost as much as the saw.
I priced the biggest battery powered Husqvarna over the weekend. The whole thing was over $1500! I could get two new gas saws for that price!
Thanks for the review Jason and Charlie.
Hi Mark, thanks for stopping by. What did you think of the 120i?
@@OakMountainAcotts Jason it looks like a great option for checking trails after storms, like you I have skid roads to keep clear.
Honestly this is a great video, good job you’ve earned yourself a sub!
Welcome aboard! We're sure glad you clicked the button... hope we don't let you down!
how much does the husky battries cost
Looks like $200 - $300 depending on which one you buy.
Great review. 👍
Thanks Laurie. That little saw will be great around the sawmill to clean up branches from the logs!
🙋🏻♂️👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
😊👍🌹
Thanks for watching!
for a limb saw it would be nice
Nice little saw!
