I went to their website to purchase this mini chainsaw but the only one for sale is with a European plug. Site won't let me click on the saw with US plug. What the heck???
Good follow up, thank you. I bought one after your original review but it was by a company called Saker tools. Not sure if they are the original manufacturer and the others are copies but do far a great tool. The one I have has a safety button on the side to prevent accidental press of the trigger. It also has a knuckle guard that covers your hand.
I love my 6" mini saw but had no idea if I needed lubrication. I am glad you went over that, maybe again. I did not see that in your original video. Anyway it was helpful you went over it again with a follow up video. Thank you
Bought one two years ago and its going strong . Have sharpened chain with fine needle file couple of times . Even used it to prepare blanks for turning bowls . 😊
I got one brand new a month ago for $40 and now it's dead! I'm still happy with the amount of work it did for what I payed! Admittedly I was very hard on it!
I loved your original video and this follow up and would just like to say I got a 6 inch version and been going strong a good few years and used allot. I am just starting the 2nd chain soon and been a godsend saving me time and hard work clearing low hanging branches and keeping bushes in check.
Any light oil is fine. Use a bit of oil before use and a drop while using dependant on how much work your doing. Brush off when finished and a bit of oil for storage.
After all the work I've done this weekend with my mini chainsaw and how much money I've saved, I don't care if I had to buy one for $39 every year. It's much cheaper than paying someone $500 per tree. And when it dies, I can use it as a horror prop.
I feel like most of these Chinese Saws are equal in quality and performance. I recently bought the 6-inch one that takes DeWalt batterys specifically. Not disappointed so far. I actually sell Stihl products and I would stack the Chinese against the the Stihl GTA 26 all day. Reason being, DeWalt batteries lol. I have many of them and the flex volt will run my saw much much longer than a Stihl. And mine cuts just as fast if not faster. And I could by three saws for the price of one Stihl. And Stihl just went up 10 more dollars lol.
Could you please make a 4 hour looping video of you trying to start the 2 stroke Stihl... I could watch that and know my life is not so bad. Thank you.
Thanks for the update. I got one of these saws as a gift and I even tried it on some big limbs. Worst issue is that with bigger stuff the saw gets pretty hot, but it's not meant to be a tree felling saw. For tasks you showed, it was perfect. Also that song at the end is also the theme songs for a really popular Brithish food podcast called Off Menu, so I got really confused there at the end, haha. Thanks for the update!
I was really puzzled to see the way you seem to struggle starting your gas chainsaw. I don't have any problems starting mine. I purchased a six inch cordless mini chainsaw and it lasted a year. I then purchased an eighth inch and lasted just a month. They seem to be designed for light work and that's it.
This is the first time watching you videos - subscribed. I bought a 4" mini chain saw and liked it so much I got another for one of my friend's Christmas present. She loves it too. I have 78 acres and most of it is in woods and feed plots for wildlife. I do thin the lower limbs in my walking and working areas. Glad to know that the batteries are available from various tools. Is there any specific chain that I should get for this (I also bought a 6" and an 8"). I feel really weird not having bar and chain oil so I've either been digging out one of the small couple ounce bottle of chain oil or grab a WD40 can to spray it down. I also have a Ryobi pole saw and a Black Max 18". Between these I should be covered except for a 70 ft pine about 80 ft from my camper that I need to take down. I watched a video last night on Ryobi batteries that will not trigger the charger and found out why and what to do about it. I used to work in a NiCd battery plant a half century ago building battery packs, aircraft batteries, D cells, 2/3 fat A's and more.
And... Ryobi has that silly "arm" on it so they don't make many adapters for it. I had to make my own "adapter"... I tap off the 18volts with a little cable and run that to the positive and negative terminal on my tool. Then I strap the Ryobi battery so I can wear it around my neck. (I'm being silly o'course).
Although the makita brand name isn’t noted on the device it certainly is made by makita. I have a couple of their small hand held battery powered tools and they also don’t have the brand name on them although they came with makita branded batteries. Certainly explains why it’s a quality tool.
Don[t see a Stihl that difficult to start very often,. unless of course, you didn't turn on the ignition! LOL! But then a Gasoline powered chain saw is not a fair ( implied ) comparison to that little battery powered chain saw is it? BTW Yes, I do own one of these little battery pruning chain saws, but mine has a more useable ( in my opinion ) six inch bar and chain.
Yeah that Stihl is 24 years old and runs all day as long as you keep putting gas in it. Just showing which one is easier to cut a 1 inch branch in a hurry. Each saw has it's strong points. Thanks for watching!
@@MakingStuff Like making a comment here, it's difficult to get the emphasis meant in a written word! Both typesof saws have their place, somewhat like a an Excavator ( back hoe ) and a pick and shovel ! :)
For me this stalls all the time. Can't handle even 4-5 cm wood without the power cutting off, probably due to the battery. And I don't have makita batteries.
@@plum1000 I would be happy with a decent piece of dry wood. Unfortunately I see no way of acquiring a decently powerful battery without ruinous (multiple times of this saw, with batteries) cost.
In my cheapness, I sacrifice a little bit of compact portability and have a cord from the tool that connects to my Ryobi 18-vold battery. I make fun of wearing it around my neck... when I really clip it to my belt. I do not want to invest in another battery "system". I already switched from a Dewalt battery system when they went from an 18-volt system to a 20-volts slide in system. You spend a lot of money when you switch battery systems.
The market is absolutely saturated with these things now. The world and his dog want to sell their own version. So much choice it gives me analysis paralysis.

I liked the update showing how well the tool worked for you over time.
I got a similar one last week. Works well. Got 45 minutes out of the first battery. Saved me so much work. Looking forward to my next session.
Trying to start that gas chainsaw at the end of the video is excellent dry humor. I love it.
Thanks 👍
I bought one a year ago and it is a beast. So nice to just grab it and start cutting.

I’m going to buy one tomorrow. I have a couple other Makita tools, so have plenty of batteries. Thank you for both videos on this tool!

I bought one at your suggestion and made it a camping saw. Great for branches for firewood!

What kind of oil do you use to oil the chain? How often should the chain be oiled?
Any light oil is fine. Use a bit of oil before use and a drop while using dependant on how much work your doing. Brush off when finished and a bit of oil for storage.
@@steveedwards4495 Thank you Steve.
It's a handy little tool, you won't take a tree down with it but for small branches and brush its excellent!
Yeah it definitely has its place. Thanks for watching!
I use an angle grinder small one to sharpen the chain and work good
My orchards and municipal gardens have never looked better thanks to useful chinasaw!

I used your link but the saw that comes up isn’t Makita.

Would have been a good April 1st video. LOL!
This made me laugh. Be Stihl my heart! 🤣
We got one of those saws and hubby loves it!
That is awesome!
Extremely Helpful! Thank You!!

Very interesting video, thank you. I don't see the link to the adapter you used (I didn't skip ahead). Keep up the informative videos.
My brain skipped ahead when I was posting the video. Here is the link. I have also updated the description. amzn.to/3Jm0YCx
Might get one someday. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks for doing the videos, very interesting. Does it have an induction or just a brush motor? and will the battery work in a Makita power tool?
Not really sure about the motor. Probably brush. Also, not sure about working in Makita tools. I don't have any to try out.
Where do I get the oil once the little bottle runs out?
I just use regular chainsaw bar oil.
would it be good for plunge cutting mortices?
No, it won't plunge cut.
Well, you'd have to hold the blade real steady with your other hand, between your thumb and forefinger. LOL!
you never oiling it before use?
I was really puzzled to see the way you seem to struggle starting your gas chainsaw. I don't have any problems starting mine.

In the 'it is so cheap when it eventually dies, who cares" dept.
Job well done sir!
Thanks!
Does anyone know if the chainsaw battery works in a Makita drill?
Why is that every sort of adapter exists but not for bosch DIY (power for all) batteries to anything else? (In this case Makita)
And... Ryobi has that silly "arm" on it so they don't make many adapters for it. I had to make my own "adapter"... I tap off the 18volts with a little cable and run that to the positive and negative terminal on my tool. Then I strap the Ryobi battery so I can wear it around my neck. (I'm being silly o'course).
@@plum1000 Silly for doing it? :) Or silly for making up something like that?
Yes I like this video allthough I did not even know the other one
Thanks for watching!
was wondering if you could put a longer bar in it, 6 or 8''... would appreciate the anwser if anyone has tried it
Not sure
Great idea... or maybe a 20-inch bar and maybe use used bicycle chains on it and weld on cutting pins. Great thought!
I wish you'd have mentioned whether or not it works on Mekita batteries. Ah well. I guess we'll never know.
The answer is out there!
Although the makita brand name isn’t noted on the device it certainly is made by makita. I have a couple of their small hand held battery powered tools and they also don’t have the brand name on them although they came with makita branded batteries. Certainly explains why it’s a quality tool.
probably wont be getting a Stihl sponcership anytime soon! LOL
LOL, thanks for watching!
I went out and bought a Stihl just to experience the hard starting. No luck. Mine starts at first pull.
Excellent!!
Many thanks!

Rumor is that gas chainsaw is Stihl not running.
For me this stalls all the time. Can't handle even 4-5 cm wood without the power cutting off, probably due to the battery. And I don't have makita batteries.
Mine will stall when the battery gets weak. That's how I know it's time to change the battery.
@@MakingStuff Mine does it fully charged with a tougher or thickish piece of wood.
Mine stalls too... it just can't handle that steel pipe very well. (Sorry... just funnin').

No option for us plug at this time. Only EU option available
You can get adapters for U.S.-European plugs... I have one. They work fine.
Funny thing, my Stihl saw sounds exactly like yours! I hate that sound.
👍🏼
NO U.S. plugs available on website
Why didnt you name the companies that riped you off?
Generic Chinese douche bags.
U.S. government? Uh... Wells Forget Bank? Er... General Motorpeds? Why do you want names? They're everywhere!
Lasted 2 months and died can’t revive anymore, saker mini chainsaw.
So does it work with makita batteries?🤣
Just get the 12v adapter and use a car battery.
Send me this i need it
