Pretty good deal considering the Ozito chainsaw kit with 4.0ah battery is $199. This deal essentially comes with a free sharpener worth $75 but a 3.0ah battery instead.

Putting this deal into perspective. If you take away the value of the sharpener and battery and charger, you're essentially paying $60-$70 for the chainsaw itself. Not bad so long as you don't expect it to do what a $350+ chainsaw can do.

Recently removed from website but check your local store. They may still have some. Carrum Downs VIC has 3 kits left.

      Yeah it's pretty value if you ask me. I was tossing up between this kit and a $350 Ego chainsaw skin. Decided to go with this as better value and only intend for small branches and camping.

        Not the sharpest tool in the shed?

    Shame its posted today, would have been part of my costume last weekend ;p

    • happyadventurer on 02/11/2020 - 19:39

      I was eyeing this kit for over a week lol as wasn't sure if it actually a deal… Or I didn't want stock to run out whilst I was thinking it over haha

    • SF3 on 02/11/2020 - 21:09

      It's not quite the same playing Jason with an electric chainsaw… you'll have to voice over the motor.

  • cornbeef on 02/11/2020 - 19:40

    Shame it's not the brushless….

    • werty98 on 02/11/2020 - 19:56

      Don't worry about brushes. The gearbox will be the one failing first.

      • Thrift on 02/11/2020 - 21:32

        The brushless is 36V (using 2x18V) whereas this one is 18V. Plus 15 m/s vs 4.3 m/s chain speed and 14" vs 10" bar.

  • arman1201 on 02/11/2020 - 19:45

    It's been this price for a while. Been eyeing it for ages.

    I have this and its bigger brother 2x18V.
    Would not buy again or recommend this chainsaw as it is dangerous. The chain rotation is too slow so grabs at what you are cutting and kicks back. The 2x18V on the other hand is a great saw in comparison.

    • happyadventurer on 02/11/2020 - 20:00

      That's what I was afraid of.. There are good reviews on Bunnings but i watch a few YouTube videos and it looked to struggle a bit.. May think it over before opening it.

    • Xizor on 02/11/2020 - 20:10

      I have this and don't really have those problems. 8" and under it cuts through with ease. I've cut dozens of gum tree branches and logs, even tackling 10-12inch+. Granted going around those to tackle that size was a pain but eventually get through. It works fine but you have to take it easy and guide it not force it like tend to do with a regular chainsaw. That said you may be cutting harder wood or knots or something causing more of a challenge but for me its been great and i'd highly recommend it for small logs/chunky branches. On the look out to get it's bigger brother too!

    • fruxo on 02/11/2020 - 20:14

      I haven't had any such problems. It's felt very safe to me as the small size makes it easy to use for a novice that only need it occasionally for around the house. It's been perfectly able to cut everything I've tried too, better than expected. Not as fast as a bigger one of course, but that's not really a priority for a model like this. And I'm happy that's it's not too crazy powerful because it means it won't have the ability to generate as much kickback.

      • Sammy Boi on 02/11/2020 - 20:18

        if It's gonna get used a lot or not much at all wouldn't it always be better to go a brushless motor?

        • fruxo on 02/11/2020 - 20:24

          I don't get it. Why would I spend more on a bigger more expensive unit that I'm more uncomfortable using, if I'm only going to use it very occasionally and the smaller is both cheaper and more suitable?

          I'm not an expert (obviously), so are you implying that a brushed unit will break easily if not used frequently? Even then, the guarantee on ozito is great and Bunnings unusually replaces/refunds on the spot.

          • Sammy Boi on 03/11/2020 - 00:53

            @fruxo: Maybe you should research the difference between a brushed motor and brushless before negging… I was giving some basic advice. Decent warranty or not some people like their tools to outlast the warranty

            • fruxo on 03/11/2020 - 06:49

              @Sammy Boi: I just asked a simple question. I didn't neg.

  • ruprectaus on 02/11/2020 - 19:53

    18v

    that's going to be pretty gutless for those interested . I had an 80V Sthil

    https://www.stihl.com.au/STIHL-Products/Battery-Power-By-STI…

    and to quote Borat .. It was very nice ! Good for pruning small trees and felling up to 6" young trees but that's about it. I'd consider that to be the bare minimum I'd want to use. Alas, I lost it in the bushfires last year when the sheds on property wet up.

    Is it a deal when it's unlikely to be able to be used as intended (as a chainsaw ?)

    • happyadventurer on 02/11/2020 - 20:08

      Yeah I'm gonna look a but further into this chainsaw before I open it. Look into Ego chainsaws for your stihl replacement!

    • Bargin Boy on 02/11/2020 - 21:09

      The pole chainsaw is 18v and I had no trouble cutting down 8-10m gums

    • donkcat on 02/11/2020 - 21:11

      I'm not sure how that Sthil goes, it surprising that it lacked that much power with what you're saying.
      Ego released a new chainsaw earlier in the year, it's a 18" and people seem to be rating it highly from the reviews I've seen.
      Seems very comparable to my Sthil MS180 which is a great little saw.
      I'm trying to justify buying the kit for $750 but that's 3xMS180 price

  • salamandersushi on 02/11/2020 - 20:23

    The 36v brushless chainsaw is where it's at for the bare minimum. You'll never be disappointed having a chainsaw more powerful than required to do the job…

    • happyadventurer on 02/11/2020 - 20:29

      I agree but I don't live on a property with large trees and would mostly used this chainsaw for cutting fallen branches when camping for firewood. Based on others comments it sounds like it will do the job.. You get what you pay for in the end.

      • resisting the urge on 02/11/2020 - 20:43

        Fair enough. But if something is fallen over the track and you're hoping this might do something, forget it.

        A mains powered Ozito is fine if you go slowly. But its weak enough. A 3AH will be flat ins short order, and the rotational speed and torque will make a mess rather than a cut.

        Almost every time you take it out you need to do more than a few branches. Definitely firewood only, and avoid the dried out hardwood. All that said, with care and patience the little 18V Ozito is fine with green branches. This has a lot more chain and rail though, so the only value in it is really the sharpener, battery, and the charger.

    Like others here I also have both this one and the brushless model. This one's just 'OK' but the brushless model is phenomenal!

    • Sammy Boi on 03/11/2020 - 00:54

      Don't say anything bad about the normal one you might get negged
