Finally, and it works. After two false starts — an electronic chipper and an electronic shredder — I finally received the chipper and shredder in one machine. It does the job! At last a product that meets my desire to shred the leaves and small branches that I am ready to mulch from my 6th story balcony garden.


Don’t buy this saw!! I just spent three hours cutting down two twenty foot trees. The chain tension knob is made out of plastic and stripped out before I had dropped the first tree. The chain popped off the bar five times which damaged the chain and housing. I had to dismantle the tension housing and turn the inside gears by hand to get the chain tightened. After a few cuts the chain loosens up again. This thing is dangerous and should be recalled!!


I have used oregon chains and bars for years. They have always tended to be of average or better quality. I was quite supprised that Oregon would allow their name of such a poorly engineered and shoddy product. When the guide is set up exactly as per instructions, the chain guide will not allow the chain to pass through the clamps. Had I bought this thing locally, it would have gone back the next day. Rather than go through all the return hassels through Amazon, I just decided to chalk it up to experience and eat it. I have decided that it is better to just pay a little more and buy some things locally than to buy from Amazon, sigh unseen and end up with a useless peice of crap. Save your $40 and just buy a plain old round file and hand guide. You will do a better job of sharpening and save some money too.


I have had this saw for over a year and it still has plenty of power and cuts well. Great price and the saw looks cool. You might as well look good while you are working. It has never failed to start afrer a few cranks and runs well after it gets warmed up. Approved by YODA.
