Good but could be better March 12, 2010
D. Walker (Tennessee)
I really like this cordless chainsaw for my small yard. Recently I had to clear the bushes away from my house so the painter could have access. The painter indicated he could have the bushes cleared out for about 4 times the price of the Black and Decker cordless chainsaw so I bought the B&D cordless instead and did it myself.
I plan on using it about a 1 hour per year so the included battery and charger should be fine.
One thing I did notice is that the chain oiler needs less than 30w oil as called out for in the instructions. With 30w oil, it would not apply oil to the chain. I used some Husqvarna chain saw oil and it would not dispense oil onto the chain either. Instead, I used 3-in-one oil. This worked perfectly. I also tried some 5w-30 motor oil in an external hand oiler and that worked good also but is somewhat inconvenient. If you keep the oil in the chain oil reservoir to 5w or so, you shouldn't have a problem.
It's important to keep the chain oiled as the chain wears out much more quickly if it's left dry.
I would recommend that you try different weight oils for the chain oiler to determine what best works for you.
 This thing ROCKS! February 26, 2010

I have a gas chainsaw, but wanted this battery powered one for small jobs. I figured I'd use it for nothing more than trimming bush branches & little saplings, but I have found that it's a full-blown chainsaw and quite capable of taking down a 7" tree with no problem whatsoever. The first time I put it to serious use, I had to take down a fairly large oak tree (7" diameter) and as usual couldn't get my gas saw started. So I grabbed the little B&D & a fresh battery and went to it. It went through the tree like a knife through butter! I was very impressed, and now when I need to cut trees, I grab the B&D before anything else. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and work with, and will take down anything within the bite of its bar. It just plain rocks!
I think the guys at Black & Decker actually use the tools they make because this saw, like all B&D power tools, is well thought out, well built, and everything on it just makes sense. They have a real winner with this saw.
I highly recommend it.
Great little saw February 25, 2010

I picked this up at Lowes as an addition to my collection of Black & Decker 18V tools. Wise choice. I've used it to clean up numerous small to medium (up to 8") limbs around my property and it handles all with ease. I don't even use my gas powered chain saw any more except for the big stuff. Battery life is more than adequate and its small size makes it really easy to handle. Best of all, my wife can use it. It doesn't scare her like the gas saw does!
Great product! February 22, 2010

I asked to get this product for a christmas gift (as well as the blower) and what a great gift it was! It is easy to put together and maintain. The fact that the battery is interchangeable with other tools which take the same battery is an added plus as well.

Can't offer much of a review - it's winter - haven't had an opportunity to use this product yet.
