18 in. 15-Amp Corded Electric Chainsaw

No, bought a small can and haven't had to refill yet even after frequent use.

No power. Returning.

18 inch, 2 cycle, 42cc Price 163? I would say probably not.

Mike, I picked up my Black & Decker electric chain saw at the store it was not assembled. The Box contained the body of the saw and the bar with a protective shield was separate. I am not the handiest person however the assembly was not to difficult. All you need to do attache the bar to the main body of the saw and adjust the chain tension. The saw works well for moderate sized jobs. The self oiling feature is very nice. This is my second Black & Decker saw the first one had an electrical failure, it would not repond when i would press the start button. Home Depot replaced the saw free of charge. I am happy with the saws performance.

My son and I were in the business of removing trees for 20 years. When I dropped out, I gave my four chain saws to my son. This chain saw cuts as strong as any gasoline chain saw, is lighter, doesn't need mixed gasoline, and easier to start than a gas saw when up on a 29 foot ladder. Go for it!

14.55 pounds, about half the weight of a similar gas saw

Gas

The plastic locking cap on the bar has a lot to do with this. I was in the same boat on first assembly, pull them back apart. If I am remembering correctly you can adjust the space of the bar first and then put the cover and plastic screw down lock on. Since then it has cut down a few trees and trimmed many others.

I think that would be both difficult and risky. Yes, you could do it, but you probably shouldn't. I cut down the 14 foot tall remains of a 20 inch diameter tree (after most of the tree broke off in a storm) with this saw. It took many different cuts from various angles repeatedly making extra cuts to relieve pressure on the places I wanted to cut. Most of that extra work would have been unnecessary with a higher speed gas chainsaw. Many of those extra cuts would have been dangerous with a taller, less predictable, tree.

Metal - aluminum. Works fine. Can be adjusted, without removing the plastic cover, by turning the plastic ring that surrounds the big "nut" that holds the cover on. Once you see it, you'll understand what I'm saying.
