Overview

A homeowner who prunes branches and cuts small logs gets a mini chainsaw with a short bar and tool-free chain tensioning from this Black+Decker. A scabbard protects the bar when stored.

Light weight and easy tensioning suit occasional trimming. Neither a pack nor a charging unit is included, so factor them in, and the listing's included-components codes are unclear.

Who it's for

A homeowner trimming trees and cutting firewood in small pieces. A user who fells large trees should look at a larger saw.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Tool-free chain tensioning
  • Short bar for pruning
  • Two year warranty
Cons
  • Battery not included
  • Charger not included
  • Limited cut capacity
  • Included components codes unclear

Performance notes

Low weight and a compact bar make overhead pruning less tiring, and tool-free tensioning lets you tighten a loose chain quickly. Cut capacity is limited by the bar length, so large logs take multiple cuts.
