TESTING THE CHEAPEST TOP HANDLE CHAINSAW ON EBAY!!!!! Trolling My Trolls

- This time I am prepared for all of the negativity that I might get on this review like I did on my Chinese chainsaw review video.
There will be advertisements on this video to start with.
I am in no way shape or form being paid by anyone to do a review on this saw. My youtube revenue from advertisements on my channel paid for all but $3 of this chainsaw.
LINK TO BUY: www.ebay.com/itm/131786320304
I bought this saw on ebay. It was the cheapest brand new saw I could find on eBay. It costs $142 and that includes shipping to where I live. I ordered it March 29th 2017 and it arrived at my house on April 4th 2017.
I have a few jobs that need done with this saw where a bigger saw would be more dangerous to use. Its really nice to have such a light weight saw to do small jobs with including brushing and cutting limbs off trees as well as larger branches that fall off trees. I do a lot of chainsaw milling and this saw will come in handy for edging the slabs as well as cutting off some of the branches that get in the way when milling.
There will be more videos of this saw to come as time goes on.
Hope everyone enjoyed the video. It took a lot of time and effort for me to do this video.
Dont forget to like comment and subscribe for more. I know I probably won't see the majority of you on the next video but in the event that I do, I'll see you on the next video!!
Thanks for watching!!
My troll fell for it. Haha. This time I'm prepared for all the negative comments I might get on this video like I did on my Chinese Chainsaw review video.

How has it held up since this video?
I had the coil go out on it but I was able to find one online. Still working great.
@@Lanninglongarmmowing thanks man. I think im going to buy one.
You shouldn't "engage trolls", I hate being 'that guy' here but there's a strong analogy to be made to giving-in to terrorist-demands in that they get what they want - the only valid response is no response at all, except the absolute minimal *if and when* it is a truly practical problem! That said, thank you THANK YOU for this video, I was on-the-fence between the lot of ~$90-110 no-name saws (that look *identical* to this csp2540, only difference I can find besides lack-of-Scheppach-stickers is that these cheaper units ask for a 25:1 oil ratio, and claim a 9,000 RPM max compared to scheppach asking for 40:1 on their claimed 11k RPM! My tachometer is out-for-delivery so I'll be able to test the scheppach this afternoon, mine's got
Oh I wanted to add a couple silly/novelty/trivia items-
1 - the manual, while VERY thorough and awesome (except for refusing to address carb-adjustments - but the H&L take regular spline-driver carb tools), takes a ton of its tree-felling graphics from the POULAN manual!! I was reading the online pdf manual for my pp4218a, anyone can google for this, anyways it's got illustrations of how to properly cut a log on the ground, how to cut compressed-sides etc etc, with infographics - these same infographics were just straight-up copied into the scheppach's manual, see the images in the beginning of the manual that picture/show cartoon logs and how to cut them and google that pp4218a manual, they are clearly identical, can't help wondering if it's plagiarism or if it's a common diagram used throughout arboriculture but, if that latter option, I'm not seeing any attributions made to a source in either manual so guessing it is POULAN/HUSQVARANA(yup, same company) property that was plagiarized! Happy to have hard-copies of those though so not upset w/ scheppach, personally :)
2 - the scheppach sticker on the starter-side's grille was already like 1/4" peeled *out-of-box*, I know it's a silly item but jesus I don't think I ever got the "you went too cheap and made a bad choice" feeling so bad as I did at that moment LOL! Within 20min that feeling was gone, and hasn't returned - am in love w/ the csp2540 - but suffice to say I've removed all the stock stickers from the unit (thankfully Bartlett's/etc send stickers when you're buying ropes and whatnot, now I'm going to just make up new brand-names anytime someone asks me, ridiculous / unbelievable names, just for the hell of it :P Seriously though I do plan to try and get more people using this thing after I've spent a couple months with it & verified it's not quick to crap out or anything, my biggest fear is that it's like that that no-name unit that wants 25:1 and limits to 9000 rpm (instead of scheppach running leaner fuel[40:1] and spinning to 11k rpm) and that the scheppach is just designed for raw power / performance **at the expense of** a reasonable service-life, so plan to push it pretty hard for a couple months then do a full tear-down - actually I'll document that to post here - to see if it's held-up and is worth buying a 2nd/backup unit, or worth advising people against!! I've actually setup a journal that I've taped to my invoice-folder so I can mark rough hours-used on this saw as well as fuel I've gone through[note- using eth-free, gas-station 90-92oct with HEET because i'm in humid FL, using 40:1 for now]
Ive had this saw for two years for my tree service. I modded it a bit and its still running. good saw
Great little saw! Did you ever do a follow-up update on it? I briefly scanned your videos, and if you did one, I missed it. Thanks! Just found it, where you had to replace the coil.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS... I experience the same start...Outstanding...
How’s it holding up the chainsaw. Do you think it’ll work for palm tree 🌴 have 2 at home needs a lil trimming . Just for house work
I love that little saw. Still working great. It should work great for palm trees.
Thanks for the info I have been looking at getting one of these for quite a while
Very good, thanks. By the way, it is practically identical (except for colour and external plastic mouldings) to my Vigor which also seems to be made in Italy.
keep up the great videos man!
Thanks Lanning, it was great to see a cheaper version of the echo cs2511 climbing saw -- the sheppach seemed in better tune straight out of the box than my echo....but I had to go for the slightly lighter saw for my back & stiff hands, even if that put me into the overdraft 😉
I just watched a video on the 25cc Echo chainsaw and really wanted it until i saw the price. Glad i watched this. Cheaper version seems to be good. But time is the real test. Does your little saw still run good?
Interesting saw! Its nice to use a rear handle with longer bar for brushing so you don't have to bend down.
I have one of these too, great value for the money,, great video .
Thanks for the video...there is some hope for a cheaper saw...even if it’s only used as a backup the price seems great
Mine always leaked a small amount of bar oil while sitting in the garage. I think that may have just been residual oil from use. Recently it seems to be leaking fresh oil, a small puddle underneath. Maybe 1/2-1 teaspoons. Any ideas?
Hey oneclick, if you're still reading this; I heard that loosening the oil cap when storing the saw, ( on its side) seems to work...tho I've only tried it a couple of days so far
Ah, re-reading your text I didn't take into account that it was a fresh leak....my previous comment on loosening the oil cap was not for a sudden fresh leak...
@@aha2551 yes that helped! Someone told me that was the issue. Especially in the winter going from 0° outside to the warm garage. The pressure builds up a lot.
I'm glad you're making some $ from TH-cam! I respect how much work it takes to film and post.
Thank you!! You and me both. It's takes forever to make the videos, edit them and upload them. Funny you should make that comment, right this minute I'm editing another TH-cam video. Lol.
Loved the sped up video sounds.
Very jolly.
Is the saw still holding up ? How much was it ?
Hmm,I think I'm going to look for this one, would be handy to keep in the truck for all those annoying times I haul brush and it needs to be chopped down
Thanks for this review, I'm not a professional but looking for a nice little top handle saw without breaking the bank. Hope you carry on getting $$$ for your videos too, keep up the good work
Thank you bro. Great video
Good review . Nice little saw
I've got a copy branded hecht (Czech company) and I've had no problems with it in 2 years, about 50 hrs of actual work. Only a fuel line cracked cause I didn't winterize it.
Is that a 6, or 8 inch bar...LOL! Good vid !
What does it weigh?
These German saws are great. I just sold a green, green line version it last me 8 years had no issues. I regret selling I won’t lie.
Scheppach is making chainsaws for LIDL under PARKSIDE logo.
Nice vid, man! This saw is sold in Aus under Giantz brand. I bought the same one recently and the brake was defective straight from the box (wouldn't disengage). Wholesaler gave me a hard time before refunding and didn't want it returned. How crappy is this saw they don't think it's worth the return postage. PS: Do your thing and ignore the haters.
Great video , only complaint is you completely skipped the fitting of the bar and chain, slightly frustrating as im sitting here waiting for my saw to be delivered. :) but thanks for uploading
That weight is pretty good for a wet weight with bar and chain on! The lightest name brand top handle saws are in the 5lb range but that's just the dry powerhead.
It's OK. The echo cs 271t is a 27 cc saw and it weighs about a pound less with a bigger engine . This saw could be really light but since it's off brand they arnt using as good of parts or as light of parts but yea the newest echo is around 5 pounds
Nice review. One thing that would be nice is if the weight is in Metric. If you live outside the US, UK or Canadia .. we have to go and figure out how to convert. Aldi is about to sell these this saturday in Australia with the brand "Ferrex". Hope there's enough left to get one. Thanks for the review. I am wondering how the oiler works without holes... ? Did you ever figure out where it was made? :)
Good to see you have started using some protection perhaps you could get some trousers and jacket gloves etc and do a review I have not seen clothing
being reviewed but that might just be me missing out on something ?? Don't worry about TROLL's just let them keep Trolling so to speak !!!!!!!!!
Do you still have this chainsaw? Are you selling it cause I'am looking for an inexpensive one like this one. Have you seen the Jon Cutter G2500 chainsaw similar like this chainsaw. Its under $100 but then you go to check out and its another $100+ don't get this maybe cause its international shipment not sure? I'am just looking to buying like this one your showing. Just going to be using it for my home use. I have a few small trees and 2 small palm trees. I wouldn't mind buying either one of this inexpensive just can't get to buy. Something about final cost not adding up. I live in the U.S.
Cool vid
love cheap top handle saws. the fact this takes 40:1 gives it a big advantage over the chinese stuff
Let us know how long it lasts, thanks 😊
I'll stick with my power mac 6. Honest opinion for a honest TH-cam video review.
Only fun, if ported!!!
Factory exhaust port/slit is faaaar too small, can't breathe, that poor thing.
Make the exhaust square and full width, inlet also square, more width and a little deeper and big ramps at the piston, where the transfers are.
And that thing will run like hell.
Well bother, I check the link on sep 24 2020 and is out of stock. They got good bussiness after this good review. 👍
They're back in stock, considering one myself, it's not super light - I really want the new Echo Cs2511wes at 5lbs, but they are unobtainium right now, and probably will be for months, as well as selling at or over list till next year. This is $146.31 right now (10-20-20) freeship direct from Italy to US in 1-2 weeks. Would make a decent carving saw if it holds up. Parts are available - I found the site (mostly in Italian, but exploded view and prices)
www.scheppach.com/product-details/Kettensaege-CSP2540-scheppach---1PS-5910108903.aspx
Looks like a well fleshed out company, not a rip-off oem er. That puts me at rest on that, I'd be happier if there was a US parts source, and there may be if I look further.
Happy sawing!
Don't be discouraged bro'. I think that Oregon is Scandinavian by manufacture if not by packing, but I'm not sure. I got an electric 2000w chainsaw last year for about £50 GBP - the best value I could find and it used an Oregon blade for which I bought a spare. Unless we in the UK and you in the USA can find a way to pay decent wages and still provide quality goods at more affordable prices, we who don't have unlimited budgets are going to be importing to get the job done.
Every good wish, pal. - Paul in the UK Midlands
I have just the same saw but under another name just I have 2 barnuts,but I opened my exhaust and screen she's loud as he'll but I've got never a problem whit the low 52,4 CCM, when I didn't opened the exhaust it almost stalled in a cut,now it breaths better....I'm just cutting for my dad's firewood so please spare me the BS
That little saw sounds angry!
Do u bud I just like to watch and see how things go
Igualita a la motosierra toyama 2530 👏👏
Is it still working brother
Yes it is.
@@Lanninglongarmmowing I just brought a cheap one as well it's a bit bigger and I was going to use it as a spare when I go to collect wood but its a ripper I just keep using it lol
It wouldnt matter if you doing a video adveritising free gold bars you're going to get a few a** holes no matter what you do. Every video i ever did There were always a few people who just couldnt resist being stupid..lol ..keep it going man i watch all your videos ..
You're cool
Looks skookum to me 👍
Thanks you. It's a great little saw.
Nice little chooch factor
im not a hater but 142€ for that thing seems to much i got my 50cc chainsaw thats not even made in china for 55 dollars that came with a extra bar and chain
But this is a top handle saw and it's 142 U.S. dollars.
Has some unecesarry features due to not having durable materials. Get what you pay for...
Skip to 1:25 min mark your welcome
This is a clone and they copied everything. I also have one of these saw. Love it. Remember dont run pump gas. Dont use ethanol fuel. Buy the gas from a rental shop or build an ethanol separator. It is much like a gravy separator just add water to the fuel and the ethanol and water will settle to the bottom.
Its made in china, says it on the box
Looks like an Echo 271t
Don't start your video off complaining about human nature, people are devolving in certain ways and there is little that can be done about it, cherish any true friends.
Don’t let them get you down. Keep running your show
That looks awesome. Do you know if the cylinder has a hard chrome plating?
thanks for the demo, i bought one. looks like a pretty bad ass saw!
Good video. Fair review of the saw. I have bought and tried some the low price saws from Amazon and basically have been pleased for what I got for the price.
I received mine this week. when the chain brake is off I can hear some clinking vibrations. I think I hear it too from your saw although not as pronounced. Anyone else has this problem? it is linked to the brake not being far enough for the rotating cylinder that entrains the chain and the vibrations makes the brake clunk against that cylinder.
Any problems with the SCHEPPACH CSP2540, so far??? Might have to get one. Maybe an update video? - Thanks
Sorry for the late reply. It's tough keeping up with the comments I get on my videos. No problems with the Scheppach so far. It seems like a good saw so far. I should do an update video some time.
I own a tree service and bought this for my ground crew. ive had it for a 1+ and its still going strong. awesome little saw!
Would you recommend this for a beginner's first tree climbing saw?
@@SteveRocksHardcore yea its pretty light and has decent power. cant go wrong with the echo top handle saws either!
enjoy the channel. Thanks for the information and time you put in.
B-b-b-b-b-b-but it CAN'T be any good, because it's not a Stihl. (J/K)
I'm thinking about getting one of these to go along with my Echo and (old) Poulan top handles.
There's no reason to break the bank, if you don't have to.
I love my echo 2511 it’s awesome. Stihl can’t touch it for power to weight.
Not bad for a small saw. Love the speed up part of the video. Reminds me of my little nitro powered radio controlled truck.
I thought the same, used to have a few nitro r/c trucks
Pausing again to comment. The attachment loop, is it mounted into the plastic corner by one screw? I would be interested in a longevity update after almost 3 years: how is that loop holding up?
I see it is. I'm heading over to your channel to look for updates on this little saw.
Thanks for the review . Interesting and no negative comments here , Keep on posting .
Next time you show a saw being used you should show real-time ;) LOVE the video, am using a sawzall in canopies as my chainsaw is rear-handled and I couldn't afford a proper stihl/echo/etc top-handled unit yet and *just* learned of these unknown-brand saws, in fact I'd found this same one (and had same german/italian confusion - still surprised there's not a US-based distributor) and was hoping to see a good review like this - would be very curious how it's held up over time? I *would have* been buying a used top-handled, but the idea of getting my own new one, even if generic-branded, is FAR more appealing!!
/still would've LOVED to have seen real-time-cutting of that saw, just curious how quickly it's going through a 6" limb like that!
Where did you get it? How much does it cost? What do is it ment for? How powerful is it?
Just want to let you know i love your videos on buying inexpensive outdoor power equipment. I love a good deal. Thanks for your help please update us asap on how its running
uria711 Glad to hear it. I love a good deal too. Sure it would be nice to have a top of the line saw however I enjoy seeing how much I can get done with cheaper equipment. You are welcome. I posted an update video on the scheppach a few days ago. It's still doing great so far.
Thumbs up for your good review. can you bump it up a notch and tell us if the cylinder bore is hard chromed?
I would like to see a videos of this saw and the Chinese saw, 6 months or a year or 2 down the road to see how they hold up. And also can you buy spare parts for the saw?
I have one which is now 10 years old, there really isn't much to go wrong with these apart from fuel lines perishing. Spare parts are abundant, and like $2-$5 for most parts.
Little over 2 years later, how did this saw hold up?
so you recieved it in a week? where did you have it shipped to?
Hey great video. Really helped me decide to buy the chainsaw and pleased that I did. Ignore the trolling!
Keep up the good work. When it comes to chainsaws, no information should be overlooked and in this business, the trolls most likely have a lot of years under their belts so they deserve to be heard and not taken personally. And I wouldn't have gotten to hear their opinions if you wern't making the videos so keep it up.
love your vids, good to see someone doing reviews for the Non Popular saws and you go into good detail. The sheppach looks identical o the Italian compäny AMA, which makes a number of other saws with different names..Will give this a Thumbs up..Regards Paul, A Pro Arborist from The UK
Hey man, great video. I didn't know this even existed! I appreciate it.
I know it said Germany on the box.Does it say where it is made on the saw itself,and if so what country?
Grind a slot in that Allen screw, then you can use the multi tool scrench.
Is it a 2 stroker?
i think i will get one, if i need parts, i think i will get one, when i need a new bar, i will get one. then i will have all the parts i should ever need. and still lower then my beloved stihl. thanks for for the video!
z lindauer If this one ever breaks I would buy another one for parts like you would. I think you can buy just the bar off the internet and the same with the chain. It was the cheapest brand new saw I could find on ebay. A Stihl would be nice however it's pretty expensive. As long as I take care of this saw, it will take care of me. Thanks for watching!!
I run a trimming service and it’s cheap enough to get each of the crew their own
Good point
Great channel, your proof that a person doesn't have to break the bank to buy tools for the average guy
Regal Bowman His review on the 45cc Chinese chainsaw is why I subscribed. Like all tools, you sure get spoiled when you run the good stuff.
Regal Bowman Sorry for the late reply. Thank you. I do the best I can with the little money I have. The average guy doesn't need to spend a lot of money on equipment to get the job done.
Jeffrey Beyer I know what you mean. I get spoiled not spending a lot of money on equipment. Lol.
Love2boat92 We shop at the same high-end tool supplier, Harbor Freight. LOL
Jeffrey Beyer Hahahaha. That is correct. Everything there is high end. LOL.
Keep doing your thing. I liked the videos.
Keep up the great videos! Glad to help
The Echo CS260 version of this saw, the chain side cover does not also cover the muffler, only the sprocket/clutch. That's my only real beef with the design of these clone top-handle chainsaws is the clutch sidecover.
Jeffrey Beyer The exhaust is covered on the scheppach for the most part. That side cover is a little difficult to get off but with use I'm sure it will loosen up a little.
Echo is top quality chainsaw this is lowend but for light work maybe OK
Love2boat92
In OZ these saws are branded OZITO and sold at department stores.
4 years ago i needed one for a big $ scrub clearing job and the saw run faultless for 3 days straight.
The saws were on sale for $99 and i was so impressed with the performance that i went back and got another one.
Both these saws are still going strong and have made me thousands of dollars..
David Hore Wow OZ quite a ways away from Pennsylvania, United States where I'm from. $99 is a pretty good price, wow. I am also tempted to buy another one because it's such a great saw so far. I know when something is good it might not be around for ever. Glad to hear you've had good luck with your small saws. It will do the job of a Stihl or Husqvarna equivalent.
March 2018 - I just bought one of these for the princely sum of A$97.90. The side cover is a bugger to get back on, but I love it. 12" bar, bloody awesome for bucking limbs into firewood.
Thanks for the review, I actually didn't know this little saw(Sheppach) existed. I've been looking at the Hitachi CS33EDTP and its twin, the Tanaka, with 14" bar for light clean-up and cutting saplings. Now I want the Sheppach!
swampyD1000 You are welcome. I am surprised how little information there is on the internet about this saw. It seems pretty well made. Its has it's place in my cheap saw collection. You should give the scheppach a try.
this is hecht 929....aka timebpro...aka scheppach...aka typical chenese cheap product for all world....
good on you just keep making videos we love them
Seems like a very nice small saw!Thanks for showing!
Joe Blan I agree. It's impressive for the money. You are welcome. Thanks for watching!!
Looks identical to my buddy's brand new husky top handle saw I dig the baby bar
Right when you finnaly get to the cutting you fast forward so we cant see the power and cut ability like wtf
very good souds rthe engine, how heavy is it 3 kg?
2.2 lbs per Kg. roughly
I like the saw. is it a 10 or 12"?
Hey there, Really enjoyed your video on the saw. Seemed like its doing a good job for you. New Subscriber here. Keep up the good work and just be careful!
I just bought the tanaka 14" to do some limbing. it was 217 i believe. Would you return it for this one if you were me
CHINPAZO I probably wouldn't return it. It's probably a good saw. If I remember correctly, there's some videos of those saws on TH-cam. It a little more of a known brand name than the Scheppach.
great review! I just bought one of these on eBay.
Christopher Davidson Thank you! It seems to be a great little saw for the money. Very happy with it so far.
Any issues with bar oil leaking out while stored?
its usual for all chineese chainsaws
you're videos are good keep up the good work!
Christopher Kasko Thank you. Will do.
Thanks for the Video nice Small saw with i think an Good price
What is the weight of this chainsaw?
Next review you should do a string trimmer review, and test it by limbing some branches on a tree.......
