Great for Halloween.
Anyway, great price, usually $199, but now cut down to $134.

Bunnings description:

===

Safety chain brake
250mm Bar & chain
Includes 18V 4.0Ah Battery
Includes 18V Fast Charger
Automatic chain oiling
The Ozito PXCCSK-418 Cordless Chainsaw Kit is ideal for trimming branches, felling small trees, cutting small logs and sawn timber.

Safety features include an automatic chain brake that will engage in the event of kickback and metal bucking spikes which assist with the cutting action and help reduce the possibility of kickback.

Automatic chain oiling keeps both the bar and chain lubricated, this reduces the level of friction and helps prolong the life of the tool.

This kit includes 18V 4.0Ah battery featuring Lithium Ion technology that provides cordless convenience and eliminates the need for long extension cords, while the fast charger is the quickest way to recharge your battery. You always know when it's ready to use with the battery LED state of charge indicator.

      The battery on the one you linked looks more like a 2AH.

    • fullspend on 13/04/2022 - 14:31

      The one you linked is not in the PXC ecosystem so the batteries aren't interchangeable with the rest of the tools

    • Bren20 on 13/04/2022 - 14:32

      I'm not a chainsaw guru, but the one you linked is not PXC, it runs on a different battery system (18V 1.5Ah Lithium-Ion vs 18V 4.0Ah Battery from this deal)
      on those specs, I'd say this deal is much better, but without knowing more on the diff motors it's hard to make a call (Wattage/torque)

    • onebee on 13/04/2022 - 16:33

      Maximum cut diameter also difference: 230mm vs 200mm (your link)

    • jetfar on 14/04/2022 - 12:40

      I have the one you linked to. It's the older model and doesn't use the PXC batteries.

      I bought mine on run out a couple of years ago for $99 inc battery. It's fine for light duty additional work.

      The modern PXC ones are what bunnings call the "Red" Ozito range, the batteries can be used on all "Red" Ozito tools.

    • Rojohe on 13/04/2022 - 14:32

      How long before the battery runs out? I need a chainsaw for the odd branch and for chopping up firewood (not hardwood) every now and then.

        My parents have one of these and I was legitimately surprised how bad it was.
        Itd be ok for branches but useless for firewood.

        Better off with a petrol cheapy (30cc stihl, echo or husqy has about 10x more power)

        • R4 on 13/04/2022 - 15:50
          +2

          I have the 36V Stihl and it is, hands down, the best chainsaw I've ever owned - and I've owned a lot. It's easily as powerful as a Stihl 14" petrol saw and cuts hardwood logs like a demon. Okay, if you're chopping trees down all day, it's not going to be very practical, but for an hour or so cutting, it's awesome. It's like a light sabre.

        • edrift on 13/04/2022 - 15:54
          +1

          Yeah I agree it's not impressive.
          But because it's so slow it's safer for amateurs plus not noisy at all.

          It's designed for beginners doing small jobs, not serious work

      • AnneThrope on 13/04/2022 - 15:02
        +3

        I have a Certa brushless (300mm, 2 x 20V 4Ah batteries) and it's been very good.
        It's light, quiet and the only time it bogs is when I mess up and pinch the bar.
        Runtime on ~200mm trunk is about 40 cuts or 13 minutes continuous. That doesn't sound like much but if you have a handy fallen tree ready to go you can produce a few good wheelbarrows of firewood before it needs a break.

        I'll probably scale up to a larger ICE chainsaw at some point but the cordless has cut about 5 tonne of firewood without a hitch so far.

        The Ozito specs are all a bit lower but I'd guess it's worth a shot for your use case.

        • tomsco on 13/04/2022 - 15:57

          Do you find trees on your own property? Or you go out and find felled trees?

          I'd love to get a battery operated chainsaw, but they all seem to be 300mm and I just worry this will be quite limiting.

          • AnneThrope on 13/04/2022 - 16:12

            @tomsco: The latter - many wattles that 'live fast, die young' so there's always a fallen tree somewhere without me needing to go full lumberjack.
            There's some dead standing ones that I may have a go at if they look like they may come down and block a track or similar.

            300mm covers a lot of their length and is still easy enough to split with a maul.

          • Phoenixdu on 13/04/2022 - 17:58

            @tomsco: This is in a different leque to the Ozito listed by the OP, but is a great piece of kit if you are after a bigger bar.

            https://www.totaltools.com.au/147164-ego-56v-450mm-1-x-5-0ah…

            It chews through hardwood with ease and has a bar size to down larger trees.

                @Jackson: Yeah I can't fault it in the battery class, it is an absolute beast. Also agree re cost. For my use case it was better value compared to other reputable similar 2 strokes like Stihl or Huqusie once you factor in ease of use, petrol, mantinece etc

        The Ozito brushless version is brilliant. But that has 2 batteries at the same time. I've cut down some massive trees with it and the duration the batteries last is some sort of witchcraft.

        Yes def for zombies. However when u have a tree on your roof etc and the power is out for an extended period you really need a chainsaw. You could say….. nah mate unlikely. However I have had this experience a couple of times now. Still havent had a zombie attack, but im ready !!!

    • opposablethumbs on 13/04/2022 - 14:44
      +2

      Have the pole saw as part of the pole kit.

      Is limited to about diameter of your arm for cutting & balancing of pole is a real art, esp. for chopping. Hedgecutter on pole, much more useful for trimming bushes on my back fences.

      Just picked this chainsaw up. Hoping it's sufficient to prune an olive tree that grows back massive every few years after pruning.

      • opposablethumbs on 13/04/2022 - 16:00
        +2

        Given that the best price I've seen for a 4.0Ah Ozito battery in recent years is about the $40 mark, then happy to think of this as a <$100 skin. Have several other tools on this ecosystem, so extra battery & charger won't go astray.

        If it makes lighter work of my big olive tree pruning & helps to get rid of the odd smallish tree that I don't want in my garden any more, then will have paid for itself in time saved compared to hand sawing.

        If it doesn't have enough power for those tasks, then will return it & wait for its bigger brother (2x4.0Ah) skin to come on sale.

    • nepalesesquirrel on 13/04/2022 - 14:59

    This isn't the brushless one, which takes two batteries on each side rather than the single like listed. Got the brushless, works fantastic.

    As per all other tool discussions, brushless is always better in every way, but always more expensive.

    • WhyAmICommenting on 13/04/2022 - 14:50

      What did you pay?

      • Switchblade88 on 13/04/2022 - 15:08

        Managed to collect it for $150, down from the $199 RRP. Haven't seen it discounted more than once though.

        Never in a bundle, but I already had 6x 4Ah batteries to work with so that didn't matter. I think I was getting about an hour of active use over the 3 pairs.

    • herbo on 13/04/2022 - 15:56

      Second that. I have the brushless version, it's 36 volt (2 x 18v) and has a longer bar than this one. This one probably ok for light duty, but I would say the brushless one would be much better. I've fallen trees around 30 cm in diameter with the brushless version.

  • willyroo on 13/04/2022 - 14:46

    Had one of these - it's light duty only. When it had an issue under warranty, I paid the extra ~$60 for this brushless bad boy and big jump in capability, especially out on the farm for firewood.

    • OhNoUShiz on 13/04/2022 - 15:15

        Can't hire a stump muncher instead? It's worth it if you have more than a few stumps to remove, you'll burn through chains and it takes ages by comparison.

    • nepalesesquirrel on 13/04/2022 - 15:04
      +3

      I agree, I got sick of starting and maintaining the old petrol one with oil, fuel etc. This has a shorter blade than my old petrol chainsaw but can still cut through a decent diameter with ease and a bit of patience.

  • Xizor on 13/04/2022 - 15:12
    +2

    I have had this for over a year now and its a fantastic little thing. Of course nowhere near the power and speed of a petrol chainsaw, but its quieter and really very convenient. You need to guide it and not force it like you can more easily get away with using a petrol saw, so it is a bit slower especially if wood is harder kind. But I have tackled dozens of tree branches of various thicknesses and logs for firewood only being limited by the length of the bar.. even then i still push it and just move the log around and cut from other sides. Keen to buy it's bigger brother too one day so i can stop abusing this one with logs.

    • mick123 on 13/04/2022 - 15:47

        I've mostly done branches and small/medium logs. Stump is a bit more awkward i think largest i did was 20cm.

  • bargaino on 13/04/2022 - 15:27

    Looks similar size to the 909 from Masters? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/148877

    So small, it can be safely operated single-handed. e.g. when high up a tree I can safely prune a branch with one hand, while maintaining secure grip to tree with other.

    Don't try that with a petrol chainsaw!!

    I have this saw plus a few other chainsaws.

    It is very slow (chain speed) but can cut stuff if you're not in a massive rush. I have used it to drop some fairly tall trees.

    It's extremely quiet too so your neighbours won't even notice it.

    I honestly prefer using my mini 4" chainsaws for most work where I can. They feel faster

  • zazutata on 13/04/2022 - 16:31

    I have this as well as a high-end petrol saw. I keep this in the car and can charge the batteries from my inverter. For 4WD use it's great - cutting firewood or fallen trees etc and with the 18v 5.2Ah battery it feels like it has plenty of grunt. It's rubbish for brush or smaller branches as it just doesn't have the chain speed but like many here, I've taken down some fairly substantial trees with it and also cut up hardwood for the fire. The biggest bonus for me is that I can carry it in the car without keeping petrol on hand that can make the car smell plus the added risk of fire. It does seem to leak a bit of bar oil but I wrap it up in an old rag and it lives in a bin liner!

    • andresampras on 13/04/2022 - 16:32

            @andresampras: Yeah it would

            I wouldn't leave it in the car permanently. If going out off-road then throw in the car in an Esky for the trip, remove it when back home to charge it

    • dammit on 13/04/2022 - 17:41

      I was just going to ask about this, whether it’s a good chainsaw for having in the back of the 4wd when on holiday, to gather fallen wood for fire etc. i already have one 4AH battery from the ecosystem to having it in the car plus the included 4Ah and my existing one; would you say it’s enough for a good Easter 4 day weekend gathering a bit of wood for fire (nothing extreme)?

      • edrift on 13/04/2022 - 17:43

      Ozito is the Bunnings homebrand, Homelite isn't though.

      Bunnings do bring out a promotional product to compete with the ALDI $99 saw, but its a smaller arbourist chainsaw at the same price

      I use Stihl petrol-powered chainsaws & polesaws a lot and honestly if you don't do a lot of limbing or are happy to do that at a slower pace, the $35 premium for a battery powered chainsaw is well worth the convenience

    I am looking for a pole chainsaw to cut the branches higher. I may do it 3 or 4 times a year.
    I tried to buy the Aldi one a few times, but every time it was out of stock even I tried on the day the sale started.

    Any recommendation?

    • dtrinh on 03/05/2022 - 07:20

      Ryobi 18v one+ pole pruner does the job for me twice yearly

    • dtc on 03/05/2022 - 09:43

      The Ozito one is good as well and very slightly cheaper. the Ryobi has an angled head, which is a bit easier if you are able to position the head on top of the branch, but can be less useful if access is tight or you have to cut at an odd angle. Ryobi is slightly longer. All of them have the issue that the head is pretty heavy so balancing when extended requires a bit of strength and planning.

      If you already have batteries from one brand then just buy that one. If you dont, then Ozito tools overall are a bit cheaper than Ryobi if you think you might end up buying more tools that use the batteries. Both are solid home user tools (on the whole) so either choice is fine.

      • seniordoc on 03/05/2022 - 11:03

        Thank you. I don't have battery and charger of neither Ozito or Ryobi.
        I went to Bunning's website, and find one for Ozito and one Ryobil, but both are skin.
        I only have the battery and charger from Aldi.

        How much will it cost for the battery and charger?

        Any link?

        Thank you

        • dtc on 03/05/2022 - 14:01

          You will have to buy the battery and charger separate; Bunnings sell them. Around $100 with a charger and one battery. The 4ah or 5.2ah battery is recommended for the Ozito skin (5.2 is higher capacity/last longer). The 4ah is $99 with charger. the batteries can be used in all Ozito tools, so if you later buy a hedge trimmer or a drill or a sander, can use the same battery

          https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-4-0ah-battery-and-…

          the Ryobi 4ah plus charger kit is $149, same deal, you can use them across all ryobi tools
          https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-4-0ah-battery-and-…

          Once you pick battery (whether ryobi or ozito or makita or de walt or whatever), you tend to stick to that manufacturer so you dont have to buy new batteries

          The alternative is to have corded tools - for the example, the corded ozito trimmer is only $139 https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-750w-telescopic-electric-p… If you only use it now and then and have the ability to use a cord, then its obviously a big saving at the expense of the relatively minor annoyance from the cord

            @dtc: thank you
            is the battery you quoted the same as the battery of this deal?
            IF yes then it seems more sense to buy this deal which includes a battery and charger, and $34 extra for the chainsaw!

              @seniordoc: yes you are right - $34 for the chainsaw and you get the battery. So its a good deal, if you need a chainsaw.

              These kind of pricing anomalies pop up now and then when there are deals on and the tool includes the battery. I think a while ago there was a blower with battery that was priced at less than the battery alone. And even regular price, for example with this package you get 2 drills plus the 4ah battery for $149, so effectively the drills are $50 for both (the drill sells for $50 alone, to the impact driver is free)

              Same deal with ryobi, there are kits where the tool itself is very cheap

              So if you are looking at other tools, then buying a kit with a battery, then adding in the skin for the pruner is a good deal.

              also I noticed that with the electric pruner, you can buy the pole hedge trimmer and then swap over the head with the chainsaw version https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-pruner-attachment_…

    I just picked this up for $67. I think it's on clearance.

      Which Bunnings? Everywhere I looked had no stock.
