Worx WG305.1 8 Amp 14" Electric Chainsaw

For an electric chainsaw at this price it's almost a no-brainer. It is lightweight and easy to operate. Has plenty of power to handle all pruning and most of the more severe cuts. The tensioner works well. Yes there is an oil issue. It must be drained prior to storage or it will leave a puddle. Not a deal breaker for me.However.........The major issue this unit has is the drive gear for the chain is plastic. It's a pretty tough gear but will strip out. The mfr does not support this part. The so-called replacements seen here on Amazon will not work with this saw. Warranty repair requires you pay the postage to center. So essentially, this becomes a throw-away tool.

Overall I love this thing. The chain tends to slip a bit. Try to be mindful how much bar oil you release on the bar. To much will cause the chain to slip. However it is extremely simple to operate & correct the chain. Please use extreme caution as the chain is already sharpened & is extremely sharp. The saw is very quiet with no loud roar to accompany its use. Overall weight of the device is great. Roughly 6lbs & very easy to operate. I love it. This is a great purchase for light use around your home.

I recently bought this and have used it a few times. I have taken down several small trees roughly 12 inches diameter or less. It cuts well and has plenty of power for a small electric saw. Yes it leaks oil. All chainsaws leak oil. I simply drain all the oil out after use and store it on an absorbent pad so that the oil will not get on anything. The only thing about it that I don't like is actually a real issue. The chain tensioner can slip during use allowing the chain to loosen. This is enough so that the chain can come outside of the groove in the bar. You can of course stop cutting and just reset the tensioner. Given the price and intended use of this tool I don't see this as a deal breaker. If you are intending this to work for anything more than light yard cleanup I would recommend spending the money for an appropriate tool instead.

This WORX chainsaw gets the job done! I am 62 year old woman and can easily use it. I took down one dead tree in the back yard earlier this week. I've had 2 Remington chainsaws and both would throw the chain constantly. This WORX chainsaw does not do that and it is so much easier to tighten the tension on the chain with the larger handle. It is lightweight, but mighty! I would never want to use any other chainsaw!! Easy to clean and stores with a very substantial plastic blade cover for safety. It is by far the best chainsaw around and the price is super reasonable!

This saw works wonderfully. True, it lacks portability as it requires a cord, but with only an 8 AMP motor, I can use a 100" three wire extension cord- giving me some flexibility.The 8 AMP motor is plenty powerful- goes through trees like butter- and the 14" length allows me to tackle tree stumps with no problem. The unit itself is lightweight, allowing long use without tiring.The only complaint is the instructions- horrible. Took me an hour to assemble it- should have taken five minutes- but the instructions make the easy very difficult.The price for this was remarkably low- which is why I took a chance on it. Smart move on my part. Excellent tool and bargain basement price. Five stars
