 Fantastic Saw February 11, 2010
J. Walker (Cedar Hill, TX United States)
Ordered this last month. Has as much power as my 18in gas saw.
Easiest chain adjustment I ever saw. Thanks, McCulloch for a wonderful saw.
Works as expected January 5, 2010

Easy to use and maintain. Can be easily taken apart for cleaning and adjustment without tools. It comes with "low kickback" chain, and I suspect it hinders performance a little. Chain cuts slower than I would have hoped. I have been looking for better chain, but McCulloch website is pretty useless for finding any parts or accessories.

I was surprised after using this chainsaw. It started smoking after using it for 10 minutes to cut 3 inch branches. The motor caught fire. I will fix the switch on my 35yr old Craftsman. Seller did return my money and paid for shipping. It could have been just one bad one in the bunch.
I have mixed feelings November 30, 2009

I would give this saw 3.5 stars if I could. I gave it as a gift at Thanksgiving and cut up 2 trees the local power company took down that were close to the lines. The first was a 16" oak and the second was a 22" eucalyptus, both of which had been down for 6-7 weeks. My first agitation was with loading the chain lubricant. The port is on the side of the saw, and the cap has a small hole where a small but annoying amount of lube leaked down the side throughout the session even though it was on perfectly tight. It is better than the Poulan in that it pumps automatically and spares you the irritating thumb push and having to guess when it needs it. The other lube problem is there is a white bar that is supposed to let you see how much lube is left, except I really couldn't see anything so it was of no help.
This saw is powerful, and is not really the safest. When you release the trigger the blade continues to spin for a good 6-7 seconds. I would prefer to see an effective chain break that stops it on release. There is also inadequate thumb protection for the left hand and while the risk is small I could see an inexperienced saw operator filleting themselves on accident. Since most users of this tool are likely to be DIY yard people rather than woodsmen, a little increased safety would seem appropriate.
Compared to my gas powered Stihl & Husqvarna, this saw feels like a plastic toy. Probably not a fair comparison, but next to my inlaws crappy Poulan this saw is a powerhouse. For backyard work and people not planning to cut anything bigger than 14" diameter, the saw will definitely exceed expectations. I first used it to make 10 cuts on the oak and it cut better than expected, but was certainly more effort than a gas powered saw. The euc was huge for the 16" bar. At first it cut like butter compared to the oak, once it got past the think bark (1.5") and into the dense wood. After a few cuts I am guessing the chain was starting to dull because it was taking more effort. I did not use it again after sharpening it, but it seemed to improve the edge. Again, compared to their Poulan which takes considerable effort, this saw cut easily.
The other grievance, and I think this is true for just about any electric saw, is the cord where the plug attaches is just one really sorry design if you are expecting it to stay put while you work. You basically have to tie a knot with the extension cord in order to keep it in place. This is ridiculous.
It came with a good plastic case, and overall for $100 it is a very good saw. If I were to buy another I think I would try the Makita (2.4 x's the price). Hope my review helps.
Power without the fumes and noise of a 2-stroke November 26, 2009

I just bought the saw so have only used it to take down one tree. The McCulloch made for quick work without a lot of wear and tear on me (at 130 pounds that's important). Even though the saw is electric and lightweight, it never slowed down. Very pleased with the performance. Highly recommend.
