The McCulloch 16-inch, 3 HP electric chain saw is lightweight yet powerful, with a cutting capacity of 32-inches diameter. It is ideal for trimming small to large-size branch and cutting small to medium-sized trees. Its 3 HP, 14 Amp electric motor includes an automatic oiler and standard chain brake / hand guard, which stops the chain automatically for safety. The 16-inch guide bar reduces kickback for additional safety. The tool comes fully assembled and includes a limited 2-year warranty.
Comment: This is a bad deal for an electric chain saw because the drive gear is made of plastic and does not last very long.
I bought a saw, used it three times on very small jobs and it stripped the drive gear, I took it to a authorized dealer. He said it could not be repaired and I call Amazon. They sent me another saw which worked about two or three times and it stripped the gear also.
I tried to find the necessary replacement part to replace it, at my expense, whith no luck what-so-ever,
I would not recommend that anybody buy a McCulloch at any price.
Thanks,

Summary: Bad Quality, Worse Customer Service 2008-03-26
Comment: My McCulloch MS1630NT broke after only a few uses. This chainsaw is one of the worst tools I have owned. McCulloch's customer service is absolutely horrible, incompetent, and unresponsive. After weeks of calling and waiting, I finally gave up trying to get my chainsaw repaired. If you need a chainsaw, buy one from a company with a better reputation.

Summary: Tom, Sawyer 2008-01-18
Comment: It is the perfect tool for the infrequent sawyer, as I am. I do a few logs a year---I'm a woodturner, really, and occasionally need to "do unto" a log to make it suitable to turn on my lathe. This is a great tool for that. For P. Bunyan, I'd recommend something more "Husky!"

Summary: Dead after 10 minutes 2007-04-10
Comment: Worked fine for 10 minutes of light work. Then something happended inside and chain (and the gear driving it) stopped even though the motor kept going. Now it's at the Authorized Service Center to determine if it's worth it to fix

Summary: Good For small to mid size jobs 2007-01-13
Comment: I was very satisfied with this saw. I used it to take down a tree in my back yard that was probably about 20 inches in diameter and 25 feet high. It performed this job without a hitch. The chain adjustment process is very user friendly and I never got the feeling that the chain had dulled. Just be sure that you keep the cord away from where you are cutting and don't forget to buy the chain lube at your local store before starting the job to save you a trip, as there is no lube included with the saw. All in all not bad for a $55 electric chainsaw.
