These small handheld chainsaws have been popular over the years at Banggood and with the coupon this drops to a low price with 2 batteries. If you're just after the skin then the price becomes US$14.40 (~A$21.80) so I recommend picking up the 2 batteries for a little bit more.

Obviously at 6" you'd be stupid trying to stick this into a big ass tree. Instead it's more suitable for pruning and handing smaller branches and trees. This one is brushless with multiple speeds, has a bar guard and hand guard for added protection and it's compatible with 18V Makita batteries.

  These are great.

  My mum uses one to cut firewood and to prune trees.

  They laugh at normal branches, and even manage to struggle through stuff as thick as your forearm.

  Highly recommend.

    Good thing the deal says you can get it without batteries and use Makita batteries instead.

    • 

      Geekomatic on 21/05/2023 - 22:08

      Review stated they tried Makita in it with a bad outcome. It's cheap, but QC is looks nonexistent & CS seems unresponsive to the 1-3 stars. Good luck to those that take the plunge.

    Its LiIon not LiPo, just basic recycled 18650's with a charge controller you'd find on any common laptop.

    Being metal cells are safer than most phone batteries. They smoke out rather than flame out if things go wrong.

    Mine had Sanyo cells in it.

  Can’t speak for this model, but I love my similar unit from this deal www.ozbargain.com.au/node/764632

  Pruning, 100mm privets and cutting anything less than 15cm to size for binning works fantastic. So easy to use atop a ladder or fence to the point that my extension trimmer has been almost retired. About the only thing that doesn’t thrill me is the lack of a hand guard on mine (since it really is easy to cut a swathe one handed, to the point I wonder how much damage it could do in careless hands), but this one has that covered as well.

  bigbadboogieman on 21/05/2023 - 22:16

  Are the batteries safe? With the fire warnings in the local news from shoddy batteries and electronics, I am scared.

  • 

    MasterScythe on 21/05/2023 - 22:29

    Yes. LiIon is quite safe. Its liPo thats a worry as found in most power banks and toys.

    As per ANY electronic, you'd never charge it without supervising it anyway.

    18650 cells are arguably more safe than the softpacks you'd find in a mobile phone, and TONS of people charge those near their HEAD while they SLEEP.

  these are good and will last a long time if used for 5-10min lengths of time and put a little oil oil on the chain each time. The supplied batteries give about that length of time. I got greedy and used a makita battery and it lasted 10.5 mins.

  I know it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges. But given the small blade as well as the maintenance associated with a chain saw (oil, cleaning, sharpening/replacing…) I would be considering the suitability of recip saw instead of this.

  • 

    dealmaker on 05/06/2023 - 05:02

    Very true, reciprocating saw much better and can do everything this does
