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
- Tool-free chain tensioning
- Short bar for pruning
- Two year warranty
- 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.
