Factory Reconditioned Poulan Pro PP4218AVX 18-Inch 42cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered Anti-Vibration Chain Saw

Comment: We bought this saw last fall. We cut our fire wood for the winter with this saw, and continue to use it on a regular basis. It is light weight enough and the bar is long enough to make quick work of most trees I cut.

Comment: Complete waste of time and money, this chainsaw never worked and the company did not respond to my phone calls, I guess I should just throw it away.

Comment: The was runs and look like a new saw and does the job. I save a lot of money over buying a new saw. So glad that I did what I did.

Comment: Works great, chain tightener takes a little to get used to. But all in all happy with it.

Comment: I purchased this chainsaw from Amazon in early October (2009) and
in the two months since then have sawed at least one cord of firewood.
The saw has performed beautifully, and I am delighted so far with
this purchase. The saw was easy to assemble and the instructions
for starting it and keeping the chain properly under tension were
clear and work. I am not sure what was done to recondition the
saw, but when it arrived it was clean and showed no signs of use.

I should preface the following by noting that this is my first
experience with a chainsaw, so I am not an expert. The chain does
require frequent tightening, but the frequency decreased considerably
after the first hour or two of use. I attribute this decrease to the
chain "breaking in." I have been cutting mostly oak, and after the
third tank of fuel I sharpened the chain, which made sawing
dramatically easier. My advice is to keep the chain sharp as both
user and saw will not have to work as hard. I suspect that some of
the problems with keeping the proper tension reported in other reviews
follow from either a dull chain or from replacing rather than
sharpening a dull chain, in which case there will be another break
in period.

In summary- so far so good after two months. I hope to get years
of good service from the saw.
