I guess bunnings is price matching someone.
Originally $159.
Not a bad price for a entry level petrol chainsaw.
Only comes with 1 year warranty though.

Output of 1.5kW
35cc 2-stroke engine
Lightweight design
30cm bar length with 26.5cm usable cutting length
Give yourself the edge to handle all backyard gardening with the tough yet reliable Homelite 35cc 30cm chainsaw. The 2-stroke 35cc engine puts out 1.5kW to tackle any branches, trees or other sawing tasks around the home. The bar length gives you the perfect balance of control and performance. With 26.5cm of usable cutting length, there’s very little in the average backyard out of scope. The Homelite 35cc 30cm chainsaw is the perfect solution for any sawing projects.

Edit:
Credit to lamsy, Bunnings is price matching Mitre10: https://www.mitre10.com.au/rok-45cc-petrol-chainsaw-355mm

Seems like the one from Mitre10 is a better buy, bigger bar and bigger engine.

    Seems like a good price, but I've had issues with Homelite engines in the past so YMMV.

    I have cheap Ozito cordless stuff but for a chainsaw, if you are going to use it, a $300 Husqvarna or Stihl are entry level.

      I’m using the Ryobi one from the camping kit, 18V brushed motor with 250mm cutting diameter. I won’t say I’m completely satisfied as it smokes during heavy load, but it’s good enough for branches <150mm.
      Cut down a few 4m+ bay trees and a fig tree.

      The chain came with it is rubbish though…

      • DannyBoy on 14/06/2023 - 12:19

        This seems like good value is you already have the Workzone/XFINITY batteries

      • MasterScythe on 14/06/2023 - 12:39

        I have the 18v BrushLESS motor version, and it's a beast.
        I've used it to fell several palm trees, a gum, and countless general arm-thick branch lopping.

        • mrgeckoz on 14/06/2023 - 14:39

          Yeah I actually have bought that one but exchanged it for the camping kit.
          Couldn’t justify the cost just for some one-off cutting. Would love to keep that one otherwise!

  • teddiebear on 14/06/2023 - 11:53

    This size bar and motor is maily used for trimming and pruning branches. Cutting down a tree however, is a different story. Engine may not have enough power to maintain a decent cut to fell a tree. Great 'hobby size' for very light duty stock pruning.

    • MasterScythe on 14/06/2023 - 19:11

      The trick for small saws and big trees is to pretend its an electric axe.
      You cut wedge after wedge until it starts to go.

      Once it's down, cut bottom to top if possible, to stop the weight of the tree 'pinching' the chain.

    I have the 37cc Homelite chainsaw for about 3 years its been a beast for the price. I think i paid $169 I've cut about 20m of blackwood up with it including rounds pretty close to twice the diameter of the bar. The only thing that have gone wrong with it was, the primer bulb spit, cost me $2.50 to replace on ebay. I also bent the bar, which was my fault, also cheap replacement on ebay. I reckon this would be great for small jobs. Also the diameter of the chain is pretty fine but it holds its edge pretty well.

      Edit: I'd highly recommend the 37cc, i'd reckon this would be similar. If your mechanically minded. If your looking to use this for pruning a few branches a battery powered recip saw with a pruning blade is so much better. no bar oil, no measuring 50:1 fuels, disposable blades, always starts.

      Also have the 37cc and has been great around the farm. Absolutely no issues so far, and nice to know that things are cheap to fix/replace!

    • mrgeckoz on 14/06/2023 - 17:21

      37cc has 2 year warranty vs. 1 year warranty for the one in the post.

      • mjf on 16/06/2023 - 17:51

        The 37cc just went on sale for $99 (was 219). I just went to bunnings to get the 35cc and checked online and saw the price had just changed for click and collect Moorabbin.

        • mjf on 17/06/2023 - 10:54

          Further update, the price of the 35cc 30cm has gone back to normal price.

    Bunnings is price matching Mitre 10.

    https://www.mitre10.com.au/rok-45cc-petrol-chainsaw-355mm

    300mm vs. 355mm
    35cc vs. 45cc.

    No experience with either one, but Mitre 10 one is bigger bar and engine.

    • mrgeckoz on 14/06/2023 - 20:22

      Nice find!
      I’ll add that to the post. Cheers!

  • Tatagal on 20/06/2023 - 22:35

    Any reason I still see it as $159?

    • mrgeckoz on 21/06/2023 - 01:46

      Thanks for pointing out.
