This was my second Limb & Trim saw. The first one probably lasted over a dozen years. Overall they are good saws for the suburban homeowner for the money. They are very lightweight and this makes them fine for triming and cutting small trees. I have cut down trees and limbs up to 12" with these with no problem. Larger trees just take longer as you have to cut from both sides. Gas chain saws are faster, but this will do the job if you are patient.
The saw is virtually maintenance free except for keeping the blade sharp, lubricated, and under the correct tension. For sharpening, you can use a chain saw file, or a Dremel tool with the correct chain saw grinder, which is much faster and easier. The chain oiler mechanism did leak on both saws so I never use it. I know other owners that have had the same problem. Instead, I keep an oil can handy and manually squirt oil on the blade after every few cuts to keep it...Read more 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Remington RM1415A 14-Inch 8-Amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) There really isnt anything wrong with this saw it does the job. I have used mine for about 2 years and it has seen various differnt cuts. The largest being an old pine tree at the thickest diamater of 16". it is also good at trimming shrubs, and i think is best at trimming 3-6 inch diamater branches. The saw hasnt kicked back on me once, but that could be because its a pretty light duty saw. The negatives of this saw is like what the reviewer above has written, the oil lubricating container leaks, but it really isnt that big of a deal. This saw is great for the suburban homeowner, or for general handyman, for cleanup of small trees, bushes, or cutting 4*4's. however, i feel that this saw is overpriced on Amazon as i purchase mine for about $40 bucks at my local menards. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Remington RM1415A 14-Inch 8-Amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) This came in very handy after Hurricane Irene; a few large branches fell in the front yard, one of the branches was huge- I had no problem using this amazing chainsaw to cut it into smaller pieces so my town would pick them up. it is VERY powerful! This would be great for smaller limbs and branches and stores away easily. Buy it. |
