That is a EZ start pull starter, It's designed to require less force to start but on the flip side it's easier to break if you pull to hard so you should be more gentle with it.

[@mzjango]

That spongey pull might be an easy start system... if that is the case you may not want drop start it or indeed be too vigorous at all when pulling. With easy start systems you usually just need to give it a slow gentle pull. According to Steve over at SSES you can actually damage them by trying to start them with a traditional yank.

So, apparently, that saw is the new Homelite. Showed this video to a buddy of mine that's a chainsaw mechanic at a local feed store. He said that Homelite sold out to a company in China and were renamed Homelite Professional, but since then it's just been shortened to Professional.

[@dimesonhiseyes9134]

Homelite is just a rebranded generic design. You can buy the exact same saw, or motor from alibaba under a dozen names.

[@damonburroughs5283]

Techtronic of Hong Kong own Homelite, Ryobi, Rigid, Milwaukee, Kango etc, originally Kango and Milwaukee being owned by Atlas Copco. Techtronic are actually quite decent company dating back many decades and well known in electronic industry. The companies are still autonomous as such, hence the quality of Milwaukee/Kango tools (many branded Milwaukee with K suffix), Rigid etc. I think homelite have just descended into more an importer/re-badger sadly whereas the others mentioned, clearly have not, being class leaders

[@MrMusic1950]

I just cut wood for my woodstove. These cheapo's are my faves now. I did work for the forestry devision of "north west water", so I understand chainsaws "a bit", but nothing beats unboxing and assembling a new saw. At 70 years, its the only excitement I get these days.

I bought one as a disposable saw while my Stihl was being repaired. Was very impressed and with an Oregon chain it was very capable. I got nearly 4 years out of it using it professionally. It could be repaired but I retired it and bought another one which paid for itself in a matter of hours.

The cheapest Stihl is a ms170. They go for $179 at a Stihl dealer. They're a sixteen-inch 3/8" Pitch, .043 Guage saw. They have plenty of power to run chips out of that little saw. When I was landscaping we kept one in every truck and bore cut and double-faced big trees with them. If you can't fall a tree with that saw the tree is probably too big for you unless you're a pro. The owner of that company I was working for treated them as disposable. He'd throw them off ladders all the time and they never broke. If I had to give some consumer advice I would say get the ms171. The suspension handle really makes a difference if you're using it for more than a minute.

[@blackfoxsawshop7883]

The starter being spongy is for an “easy start” saw. It makes the amount of force needed to start the saw much less. The down side is you only get 2 revolutions on the engine each time you pull the rope.

this is a zenoah and there is no 68cc version. there's a 52cc and a 62cc but there are lots of them that claim to be bigger or smaller than they really are. they sell them under about a billion different names but if you measure the bore and stroke it's 62cc I promise if it's one of these. the 2 circles on the left side of the saw with the 1 inch long strip of metal directly above them is a dead giveaway as a zenoah

I just read a comment (regarding another inexpensive chain saw) and it said that some chains are deliberately not aggressive - so as to reduce kickback. This may explain why you got such fine sawdust with the supplied chain. This product is clearly aimed at homeowners and DIY'ers. So it makes perfect sense to equip it with a less aggressive (and thus safer) chain. I wonder how this unit would perform with a highly aggressive chain (requiring more torque). Likely not as well as a more costly brand name saw.

Considering the oregon 20" bar alone cost me $70 Canadian.. ..and the Oregon chain is 35....even with conversion the whole saw is cheaper than just to freshen up my 455 husky

[@xavierpendrag0n]

"Look at my Loctite, look at it..." Good review. How did the chainbreak issue work out? And you mentioned an Oregon full skip, would you suggest that overall for a good average chain?

[@matthewbrown2912]

Every time you test a "cheapest on Amazon", when I go to the link its always more expensive than you say you bought it for? Is it because I live in California?

[@themotuwolf]

Same here. It's $110 for me and I'm in Pennsylvania

[@Diabolus1978]

@@themotuwolf its because when he has it on video the seller raises the price cause his sub goes in a buys them.... this always happens with every object he shows of Amazon.

From memory California had the highest taxes on online sales...

you know its a great saw when it has "professional" written in big bold letters on the bar lol

The spongy feeling you are experiencing is a design copy most likely similar to Stihl's "Ergostart" recoil starters and Husqvarna/Poulan "EZ Pull"spring assisted recoil starters

[@mikeofmanymikes2630]

The cushioned recoil is actually an easy start feature.

3:39 that one cracked me up

[@dvldgz6306]

I'm happy you said it's good for kids. Too many people shelter their kids too much and you end up with someone who doesn't know how to use any power tool. Same with knives. If you don't teach your kid how to handle a knife properly you'll end up with an adult who accidentally cuts themself regularly

I recently learned the value of lock tight.. my favorite folding knife lost two screws..

The stuff coming out of china really has gone up in quality the past decade.

[@razvanlungu90]

I agree with you, I've been ordering from ali since 2012, nothing I've received was bad quality.

[@larryreno8293]

roflcopterkklol That is absolutely correct, because when you start at the bottom you have only one place to go and that is up. 😬

I start my new logging job in the morning. I'm glad I got this saw So everybody knows Im a *PROFESSIONAL*

[@MelikeKTMs]

All the other cutters thought Iwas super experienced thanks to my PROFESSIONAL CHICOM SAw

[@jaredwells8417]

Last weekend i found an old 1977 McCulloch pro Mac 555 I got it freed up and got it sparking again now I just need to find a rewind for it they don’t make saws like that anymore there isn’t a single piece of plastic on it

[@94SexyStang]

I have an old Homelite and Stihl, All Metal.........serious tanks!

[@allenhollenbach4692]

I bought a homeite 10 years ago because my dad has a super xl since the 1960's. I have replace carburetors multiple times among other parts....now the integrated plastic felling dogs are rounded off. This thing might be the replacement for the homelite.

[@802louis]

I bought one it’s seem to hold up all right so far

[@alexmiller657]

In Minnesota we got 10 inches of snow on Saturday and Sunday

[@miki09876]

I have this saw. It's a beast. The chain brake thing is a real issue though, and I would not recommend it with a faulty chain brake. Especially for kids.....
