The cheap one deserved more respect. It got the job done and saved a lot of money.

[StukHere]

I bought the 6 inch Amazon, cheapie and surprised the heck out of everyone! My son told me I was wasting my time and my money, but at 70 years old, never used a chainsaw, and female, I didn’t think I could handle a ‘normal‘ chainsaw for the small jobs I have around the house. One of the first things my son cut with the chainsaw to see how it worked, was a 4”x4” post! The cut was clean, not jagged, there wasn’t any pull or jamming. He had me try it, no problem. For less than $50.00, the mini chainsaw came with 2 batteries, 2 extra chains, tools to change chains. The name brands cost too much and without the accessories! I’ve trimmed bushes, branches, even a dead tree! Lol.

Great video. I’m a strong believer that you get what you pay for and would make the Milwaukee my first choice. That said, it really comes down to how much you’re going to use the tool and for what types of jobs. For a home owner like me that would use it maybe once or twice a year for some pruning or small branch cleanup after a storm, the cheap Amazon saw works fine. I received one as a gift and it does a fantastic job. If I were to need one more often or for bigger jobs, the vibration and overall power of the cheaper version would motivate me to spend more and get a better tool.

I bought the Stihl when it first came out strictly because of its size, I needed a small saw to get in between branches. A few months later while on Amazon I noticed one of the no-name 4" chainsaws with two 20V batteries, two chains and a hard case for $35 US. I picked one up and haven't used my Stihl since. The Chinese saw is harder to stall and the batteries last much longer than the Stihl.

I bought a cheap one to trim overhang from a neighbours tree that was restricting rotation of my delta loop quad antenna.
The offending branches were 10m above ground so I cable tied/taped it onto a telescopic aluminium pole and got the job done.

Money well spent.

Very informative user experience video. Some ideas for a follow-up.

1) Comparative battery life in the field.
2) Disassembly of each unit to diagnose internal quality. Quality differences could guide us to draw our own conclusions about how long the tool will last. One buyer that reviewed an Amazon no name one of these showed a picture of a chewed up gear that rendered the tool useless after not much time.
3) Based on all the comments below a comparative video of using one of these mini chain saws vs. a reciprocating saw for pruning would be interesting to see. You could even throw a Silky hand saw into the mix too.

I got one of the cheap ones from Amazon. With two batteries. I filed it professionally as I am a professional follower and it cuts better than the stihl that my buddy owns

[ryanjo]

All 3 got the Job Done!! even the Cheap one stood up to the test, so id say its definitely worth its cheap cost for someone with little and rare work load . The Stihl worked great as well, more power faster cut, good lasting quality, however the Milwaukee was the best, nice features, oiler, most powerful, fastest cut.. but only if you can afford it!.

[Thereisnospoon]

Deffo love the way this is put together.
No better way to show us the best products

I’ve had the Juemel for a couple of months. I’m not a ‘’professional lumber jack’’ but I’m using the juemel a lot around the garden, for the price it can’t be beat .My question is if you are not a professional, how often would you use a ‘’mini chain saw’’ to justify the higher cost of the higher priced ones?

[ninagrierson-jones]

the Stihl looks like the best to me, that carved bear moment was gold! LOL thanks for the video guys

[sheriffbart]

I use the milwaukee, bought it for camping. Works great, small enough it stores in the camper and I can cut firewood for a day or two without any problems!

[spiderwebster]

I have the cheap Amazon one and has been fit for what I do. I take on walk with the dog as very light. Branches that have fallen down in winds I cut lengths to carry home to cut and split for log burning. I was very impressed when first used and I thought I would definitely buy a more expensive one when it breaks. I still have it as it hasn’t broken 6 months.

I just bought a $39. RLSOO saw from Amazon and removed some bush stumps like butter. Loved it. It came with three chains and I didn't care that I was cutting into dirt/ It got the job done for less than the cost of a new chain. Saved a ton of money over hiring someone.

[coltlmer]

I have the Milwaukee i absolutely love the thing its got tons of power so just anything small enough to get the bar trough it just eats it up and you could probably cut up several trees on a single 6ah battery

[terrellstewart]

I bought one of these cheap saws and it been great on my forested property and just recently switched to the other chain I'm not doing a cutting race I just prune low and dead branches around my property. For the $35 dollars i paid it has already paid for it self in use

[williammorris]

Watch the fingers with these little saws 😬 With nearly 20 years in tree work with chainsaws, I can't help but feel nervous about home owners cutting right next to their hand that's holding the wood.

... that little £39 saw looks awesome for the money!

[allsafe]

I would be interested in how the cheap one performs with the chain from the Stihl. looks like it is jumping may be a sign the chain geometry not that great being a low cost unit.

[angrytater]

I bought a 6-inch "Hopto" Chinese made a few weeks ago for $60. Came with two batteries and an extra chain, although I already switched the chain out for a Milwaukee. I could not be happier. Just take care of it and make chain adjustments when you are working bigger limbs.

[joeshobbies]

Milwaukee clear winner to me... no bias at all, I swear🙃
