3.0HP 16" Lightweight Electric Chainsaw with Fully Assembled Bar - 107624-01  Product Reviews

"From prior gas chain saw experience in Austria, I knew a chain saw did not need more than 3 horsepower so I went for this less expensive Remington electric model. Electric chainsaws are great. This Remington model was a mistake. To tighten for the normal new chain's expansion is difficult enough for the manufacturer to append the manual with a special instructional page. Tightening is a multi step process requiring tools. Additionally, the tightening mechanism is of poor quality and difficult to service. I replaced the guide bar nuts with wing nuts. The oil feed is both gravity and pump fed. Accordingly, if the chainsaw is set down, expect the ground underneath to get oil droppings. Additionally, one must empty the unused oil after each use. Of course there is the additional difficulty of keeping normal debris out of the returning oil. Removing the sprocket cover to clean and service the unit is too easy. Not recognizing a poorly indicated cover notch and the hidden tighening tab when refitting the cover readily allows misalignment and damaging the above poor tightening mechanism. Finally, the chain length is odd and not indicated in the manual. It is difficult to get replacement chain. (Found out it is 59 links). A chain saw that is too cheap. Amend: Pictured above is a replacment model. "

"I never would have thought an electric chainsaw would work that well. I spent last night cutting 13" trees with no problem. You just squeeze the trigger and go. The best part? I didn't walk in the house reeking of gas! As long as you are near an outlet this electric chainsaw is the way to go!"
