    Easy to control makes it safer than a petrol one when up a tree just press the button and go better than I thought it would be

    I am a woman in my 60’s, it’s light and easy to use. I sharpen the chain and clean it every time I use it and am very pleased with it. I’ve bought a second battery as the one supplied does only last for 20 minutes to half an hour but is able to cope with all the branches and small logs to keep me supplied with firewood .Obviously not designed for heavy duty but suits me fine.

    Does the job well. Battery runs for a good time and the cutting is good. Don’t go for huge logs as it won’t cut it , just keep them the width of your leg max and you’ll be fine. Happy days.

    Would strongly recommend this perfect piece of kit for pruning/trimming and cutting up to 6 inch logs/branches. Light weight makes it easy to use and it feels very safe. Getting about an hour out of the battery.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI liked the beast. However after fitting in the chain for just check up, I realised it is not the easiest to remove. There are no instructions in the manual, nor any reviews on the Internet. Despite fully slacking the chain, the main metal blade has decided not to come off the screw mount. And no instructions how to do it. What a shame

    Further to above. Finally it came off. As could find no reason of it coming off, so I put the gloves on, tried to pull it hard and it came off. So point is that you need to put FORCE on it with gloves on without a fear of damage and it comes off. May be it could help others like me trying not to damage the saw while replacing the chain.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Blade not coming off

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIt came with instructions to put the chain saw together which we found quite straight forward to follow. This weighs no more than your average hedge trimmer so is relatively easy to use. It breezes through thick branches. We used it almost constantly for several hours before the battery needed to be recharged. I am looking forward to getting the extension pole so that I can use it to prune/cut back my apple tree annually. That review will be on the extension stick.

    It’s a really practical thing for light use around the garden. Been using it now for a month or so and been very happy with it.

    Brilliant little saw but the battery that came whith it is rubbish when fully charged I get 3 to 4 minutes use and goes hot but the saw cuts very good

    I know the title sounds critical but this saw is battery powered so you have to accept it’s limitations.
    The most annoying thing and the reason it loses a star, is the chain sheath, its forever dropping off and could easily be lost if you don’t see it fall.

    Small enough for my wife to use and plenty powerf enough for most jobs

    This is handy for light pruning of branches up to 3cm or 4cm diameter. Don’t expect it to turn you into a lumberjack.

    I was surprised to see it was made in China, although if Bosch is prepared to put its name on the unit I guess the company is happy with the quality.

    My only disappointment was the lack of a User Manual. This tool can be dangerous if misused; fortunately I have used chainsaws before so I am familiar with the rules. There were no instructions for fitting the blade but with a little trial and error I got around that problem.

    Brilliant product. We have 11 acres of woodland and this tool is an indispensable part of our kit. I would also recommend it for anyone wishing to progress to bigger chainsaws as a starter/teaching tool. Because the kickback zone is inaccessible this tool is a great confidence builder. Excellent for small dia. cross-cutting and low pruning. It goes on, and on, and on and is extremely low maintenance. We also have the telescopic pruner version of this and are thrilled with that too.

    Nothing to dislike. Made to the usual Bosch high standard with plenty of torque even on low battery. Battery life is about 40 mins, but dependant on thickness of wood being cut. I bought a second battery which was a good move and advisable.

    This is a great little saw.
    Over the years I have used many chain saws all of them petrol, but if you cant be bothered to fuel up a saw and prep it then this saw is a tuff easy to use alternative it doesn’t make a lot of noise and you can cut small branches quickly.
    The battery lasted well and recharged quickly whilst having a cup of coffee.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersIt does the job and since it’s a reputable brand I am hoping that this saw doesn’t pack up within 3 months of buying it – which has happened to me with each of two reciprocating saws that I bought previously. I wish the blade was longer but this is a smaller saw well suited to chainsaw tyros like me who would be well advised to use a weaker tool and get some experience before they start using the real deal! In use it is straightforward and efficient. I especially like that the battery is long lasting and doesn’t always need to be recharged before the next cutting session! In use the saw chain quite quickly loses tension and you need to remember to use the tensioner on the side to keep it running optimally. Oh yes, it comes with a 3 year warranty! Seems quite economical so far on oil. A tip: having fully charged up the battery if you’re not planning on using the saw immediately then unplug and remove the battery as my experience has been that if you leave it attached to the saw overnight then when you go to use it the next day you will find that it has discharged!

    Great tool to use. Easy set up and so easy to use. Not too noisy when cutting. My particular battery life is about 40-60 mins when cutting up wood pallets. Well worth the money

    I’m using it for the smaller chainsaw jobs – so far up to 6 inches diameter branches etc. It does very well.
    Battery lasts for a good length of time but handy to have a spare or two (from other Bosch kit).

  19. MirroredIllusions says:

     United Kingdom

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOf course one of the best things is that is uses the universal batteries of which I already have a number so I can just cut for longer now and swap them out when drained.
    The nose guard is great, it prevents any real kick back and the chain goes through anything up to about 8 inches thick or so, like a knife through butter.
    It has saved me hours of laborious work with axe and bow saw. It seems happy on ordinary engine oil in the lube reservoir so no extra expenses there.
    All in all, superb buy. Can’t think of a negative.

    Good little saw for occasional use… You wouldn’t want to do a full day with it, but for removing the odd branch or pruning it’s fine. Needs an additional battery (which should be of a higher amp hour) to get a full 5 stars

    Don’t purchase expecting to become a lumberjack, or if you need to plunge cut, but for me (clearing access to over grown sites) it’s handy

  22. CindiGNOgt says:

    Needed a light weight chainsaw I could use up a tree to trim and shape branches – this is very convenient in as much as it’s a press button action as apposed to having to pull start one. Strong enough to do the job I required it for.

  23. ForestIngalls says:

    WE had a lot of storm damage near us with oak and other trees down on the golf course. Free wood for my stove.
    Only tried once so far but it cut steadily and quickly through the limbs I selected.
    Easy to use when you let the saw take the strain and light until you finish your cut.
    A GOOD BUY unless you want a longer blade.

    Admittedly, my first saw broke; just span and wouldnt engage but it was replaced without question.

    I use a 6ah battery and given it’s tiny size, it’s really easy to bash through a stack of tree limbs, so maybe I overworked it?

    Anyway, I’m a bit more careful with the second saw which I’ve used weekly (or more) for about 8 months. Cuts through hardwood no problem, really light and well built.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis chainsaw will easily cut through branches up to about 4 inches in diameter. If that’s what you want, it’s a brilliant choice. The fact that it’s small makes it easy to manoeuvre, and this is where it beats bigger chainsaws hands down. It comes supplied with enough oil to fill the reservoir once, but it’s a good idea to buy more oil at the time of purchase so you don’t get stuck when the original supply runs out. Being a chainsaw newbie, I didn’t originally realise the importance of using the grippers: the main one at the base of the chainsaw, and the smaller one at the far end of the chainsaw. Using these makes all the difference. I’m very happy with my purchase

    I would not have bought this tool for general purpose timber cutting, but when certain types of cuts are needed it is a unique tool. I have found it to be very useful. I have cut joints in hardwood newel posts with it and it worked well. I can’t comment on the lifetime of the blade, as some have. I would not consider using at as a general purpose saw nor for garden pruning. It feels too specialised for that. I’ll keep the blade sharp and ready for the next awkward cut.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAt 87 I’m finding my Bosch 14 inch a bit of a handful as it is too heavy for me. However this little wonder allows me to prune quite large branches (over 4 inches) much more easily. Obviously sizeable tree felling is not its forte, nor mine any longer.

    Very good piece of equipment. Cuts like a dream. Only thing which I personally did not like was the guard at the end of the blade, it hindered the cut. So I took it off and now I am able to cut at least 100mm cut easy. The battery also as a very good cutting life.

  31. BettyeKeeler says:

    As a landscape gardener I was a bit sceptical about battery compared to petral. Bosh are a great brand and the battery saw with a small bar does smaller branches like cutting through butter. It’s good from one in the trade and an included battery cuts the cost by far.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersGot this yesterday at a great price from Amazon. Tried it out and works really well.
    It does come with a small bottle of oil which was usefull.
    Its quite small but ideal for what I need, chopping medium sized branches off trees and hedges.
    If the size suits you, then this is great value and well worth the Money. (Includes a Battery which is worth almost as much as the whole package)

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersThe Bosch battery chainsaw is an easy choice to make if like me you have other items in the 18 v range with similar power rating.It isn’t as powerful as a petrol model and this model will deal with up to 4 inch thickness of branch due to blade length so make sure it isn’t for heavy duty work.
    The only other points I would highlight is that the chain becomes slack in no time so frequent tightening required remembering to slacken off tension after use and beware leaving oil in the resivour after a cutting session .It seeps out all over the place even in an upright storing position.
    Hoping that the chain remains sharp for some time to come….

  37. Anonymous says:

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersEasy to handle and cuts very well . Periodically need the tension on chain nipping up but this I think is just normal . Battery does charge fast and on an a single battery I managed to cut just over two white pallets in to 10″ lengths for my fire .

    Only issue is the chain cover doesn’t fit very well and is a pain to fit to protect the chain so I always remove the battery when not in use so it can not be accident operated ( trigger safety is not the best ). In safe hands it is a very good piece of kit and worth the money .

    This is a really excellent little cordless chainsaw

    It has a reasonable cutting width of around 100mm which means it can be used to trim good sized branches or to trim fence posts to length.

    When in use I have yet to have the battery fail, it gives a very good number of cuts, but the length of time/number of cuts is dependant on what is being cut.

    I cannot fault this excellent and very useful cordless chainsaw.

    This is an excellent choice for a domestic pruning chainsaw. You are never hgoing to be able to cut down trees with this, and it is not intended as a lumberjack’s workmate. But it is a super and effective chainsaw ideal for pruning branches that your lopper simply wont get through. You’ll need to get some proper protection even with this small chainsaw – especially for hands and eyes. Battery life if amazing. And with no electrical lead to get in the way. Very impressed.
