Great video. That little hole at the sprocket end is for grease you'll need a little special grease gun a couple of pumps each side every other fill up give it a pump think you'll find it won't jam up as much. Looks a neat little saw. Regards to the family
You want to watch that tingly feeling in your fingers George, in my past jobs I have been sent for a HAVS tests ( hand arm vibration syndrome ) apparently you shouldn’t use vibrating tools for long periods of time is what I was told. I was a bit stressed with the slack in that chain, you were spot on though 👍
Nice one George , That saw looks the exact same as my parkside one from lidl just with different stickers and different shade of green . Think it cost 100 quid with 3 year warranty. Starts first pull every time even quicker than my stihl does . Cant complain for the money 😁
Great to see the video & you are still happy with the Hawksmore. For a small holder or some one who has a little bit of land using it occasionally I think it is a cracker of a tool.
Great video- thanks. Any chance of a chainsaw sharpening video. There are several tools on the market now just wandered if you had a preferred method/tool??
There are those times when you have to do jobs where tools can go walking off. You are going to feel the hit a lot less if your little green saw goes missing than the Stihl. I've got a little green saw (another brand) that gets lent out to people that know I keep good tools handy. Works fine and if I don't see it for a couple months, fine. 👍
I think you'll be amazed at the parts availability on the Chinese chainsaw. I bought one with the Bilt Hard name (they can be somewhat strange--I also have a V-Modest top-handle). I dropped a large round on it and smashed the clutch housing. I bought a new one from Amazon for $12, and it worked fine (though the saw is now black, blue, and orange--a bit gaudy, really). Looks like you have the 53cc model, which means the engine is bigger than the MS-251 (at 45.6cc). Nice video!
I brought a timberpro 62cc with a 2ft bar for £110 delivered, cracking saw gets use very often in the winter, before that one I had a timberpro 58cc lasted 10 years 👍👍
Chains looser than Katie price 🤣🤪. Be interesting to see how long it lasts 🤔 I’m generally not that bothered on other people’s H&S but I’ve seen what saws do to bodies and believe me they don’t cut, they tear skin 😬
Dude going on the look of your saw dust need to sharpen your chain..... the reason why it works better slightly loose low kickback chain. Run a flat file on the depth gauge.... I would pull the air filter and clean the fine dust it will block up your carb filter.... worth whereing chainsaw trousers 👖 helmet and gloves. What pitch is the chain is it similar to stil or husqvarna? Look at full house or skip chain rather than safety oragon do a auto sharpen chain and bar which is amazing no more filling I put one on a 135 husqvarna.....it's worth looking into dude saves untold time especially if you are likely to find wire nails in the timber
George jamming on the nose is likely due to lack of lube, those bars need greasing through the pin hole on either side of the bar, i have the proper grease gun but im sorry i dont know what its called...I have a very similar saw from LIdl £79 had it yrs, run 100 to 1 stiyl synthetic oil mix, it has cut an awful lot of big fire wood...Not a saw for the untrained...
Even though it was about an underdog it was stihl a good vid 😉🤣. I used a electric plug in bosch chain saw for the last 15 years and its great. Stay safe 🏴
Harking back to your previous video about sustainable plastics, and with a nod to Mukka’s recent Kubota vs cheap Chinese digger video, is it right to buy a cheap tool that will go in the bin for want of spare parts, against a longer lasting Stiyl product that you can keep running for years due to the availability of spare parts? We all need to challenge ourselves when it comes to cheap & disposable vs more costly longevity. Not easy as we have had 30-40 years of increasing reliance on “cheap junk”.
On new Husqvarna chainsaws they recommend you turn up the rpm (via the carb) after bedding a new saw in. They're like slightly limited from factory until you've gone through a few tanks.Iis there something similar on these?
E5 for all small equipment for me, as a proffessional gardener, 100 to 1 stihl synthetic oil across all machines, also in 4 stroke mowers some of the time, 20yr old Briggs on a hayter still going strong...
Dangerous brothers George helmet with face protection and defenders

Great little update on the chainsaw. It seems to be holding its own in the jobs your putting it through. Well done George 🚜 🔧 👍

Mighty stuff George, great saw for the money👌👍🙂
Good video. Lovely to meet you at Lamma, hope you had good day!
Hello George good to see another video from you just don’t let dangerous Dave near that saw can’t wait for the next video keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks for the update great video George. Take care of yourself and family ❤️❤️👍 it. Be Blessed in the New Year.
Appreciate you checking back in with this update glad to see the saw is working out well!
Great update on the Hawksmoor thanks George. Like you say, a nice back up saw to have in your arsenal.
Nice one George , That saw looks the exact same as my parkside one from lidl just with different stickers and different shade of green . Think it cost 100 quid with 3 year warranty. Starts first pull every time even quicker than my stihl does . Cant complain for the money 😁
Hi George it's nice to see the saw is still going strong, and nice to see you adjusted that loose chain, all the best mate
Great to see the video & you are still happy with the Hawksmore. For a small holder or some one who has a little bit of land using it occasionally I think it is a cracker of a tool.
Thank you for taking the time to make the update👍
Great video- thanks.

Chainsaw seems to be running too high on idle by the sounds of it, shouldn't need chain brake when idling plus more edge on chain would help 👍

Relating to one of podges’ last videos! I bought a second hand husky for £100 and it’s yet to let me down
Good update George, Seems a handy saw.
Tick over when warm needs turning down a tad there George. Sounds hungry good job buddy
Nothing beats a wellie full of wood chip😅

Great little update George - looks like its doing a decent job.

I had one looked near replica of a husqvarna that good when I got broke into the thieves took it. Was blooming good saw but Christ she was heavy.
Thanks George nice vid sir... Take care....
Great update George I was wondering how you were getting on with it, ideal for looking up for the fire 👍
Great video George. Is that a Defender 130 on the digger trailer in the background at about 1 minute in?? 🤔👍
Chains looser than Katie price 🤣🤪. Be interesting to see how long it lasts 🤔
I’m generally not that bothered on other people’s H&S but I’ve seen what saws do to bodies and believe me they don’t cut, they tear skin 😬
Hi George, Yes I like it.👍👍⭐️

Seems the saw is idling way to fast, if the chain moves with no brake at idle it’s too fast.
As long as you store it correctly it should last years.
George jamming on the nose is likely due to lack of lube, those bars need greasing through the pin hole on either side of the bar, i have the proper grease gun but im sorry i dont know what its called...I have a very similar saw from LIdl £79 had it yrs, run 100 to 1 stiyl synthetic oil mix, it has cut an awful lot of big fire wood...Not a saw for the untrained...
See if you can adjust the chain oil for a bit more flow, you should get rid of that slack going tight after a while.
Good update on the saw George 👍 only thing I don't like about it is when you back off the throttle it continues to rev a bit too fast for my liking 🤔👍
Idle sounded a bit high!
Even though it was about an underdog it was stihl a good vid 😉🤣. I used a electric plug in bosch chain saw for the last 15 years and its great. Stay safe 🏴

Hi George Nice One Have a good week
On new Husqvarna chainsaws they recommend you turn up the rpm (via the carb) after bedding a new saw in. They're like slightly limited from factory until you've gone through a few tanks.Iis there something similar on these?
Nice vid george. Cant beat a stihl or husky 👌
Great update! Can't wait to get my hands on mine now, is it Monday yet?
Con rod is knocking on that George
Nice video George don't forget your ear protectors 👍🚜
Out of interest what fuel do you run in your saws ? Only asking as I was told to stop putting E10 in my gear and swap back to E5 it runs alot better.
E5 for all small equipment for me, as a proffessional gardener, 100 to 1 stihl synthetic oil across all machines, also in 4 stroke mowers some of the time, 20yr old Briggs on a hayter still going strong...
Hallo george the chainsaw works good in the wood trees they make a warm house. In Germany is stihl the big Player in chain saw
You r right good now and again saw.
Problem with cheap random saws is parts and backup
Excellent!
Them saws are fine in the short term, they don't last, i use husqavarna can't fault them
One tooth completely out of the bar is the correct tension on most saws...
Can you put a bigger bar on it?
Nice video 👌
Make sure it is oiling the bar enough
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice lumps of oak George
As aways george. 👌👍👏
👍👍
Good to see it still going I would have thought it would have been in pieces must built as well as the Lidli chainsaws
