BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Chain Saw Cordless Chainsaw, 10-Inch Battery Chainsaw, Tool Only, for Wood Cutting and Tree Pruning, Includes Guide Bar Scabbard (LCS1020B)

Frequency and Longevity I own several properties and use this to trim branches annually. I’ve used it about 20 times a year. Pros Quality – It may not feel as durable as some other chainsaws, but Black and Decker is my go‑to line for battery‑powered tools. I have about 10 of them and have only ever had to replace the weed whacker. It starts right up once you pull the trigger. It feels as safe as other chain saws I have used int he past. Size – It’s small but effective, and easy to load into your vehicle and go. Battery Life – I use an extended battery and have never had to switch it out during a job. Power – Not as strong as an electric chainsaw, but it gets the job done. Cut Quality – Great. I haven’t had any problems. The cut is sharp and comparable to other chainsaws. Cons None Value for the Money You just can’t go wrong with Black and Decker here. All I can say is: The PRICE is NICE.

I have a small yard with a giant oak. This little beast helps me keep up with clearing out the volunteer trees that inevitably pop up. Small and lightweight, and easy to handle for the small jobs that come along.

This is my first cordless electric chainsaw. I always thought electric saws were a joke and never considered buying one until recently. We were brushing out an old ATV trail and didn’t want to attract attention from the new, nearby homes by using a noisy chainsaw. We used hand tools and I thought how nice it would be to have an electric chainsaw for the larger alders. I tested it out today and was surprised by how long the 2.0 ah battery lasted. It was really nice not to deal with the exhaust and noise. The bugs also seemed to be a lot less noticeable likely due to the lack of exhaust. The chain doesn’t spin very fast so it cuts noticeably slower than a gas saw. It also bounced and chattered far more than a gas saw. That was really annoying. The saw wasn’t as light as I was expecting but it’s not particularly heavy either. It’s construction leaves me in doubt as to how long it’ll last. My B&D weed wacker is all plastic and it’s held up fine for the past 4 years so hopefully this saw will too. But a guy will need to be more careful with this saw than a gas model just because the flex in the bar is noticeable. In testing it out today I found myself cutting way more than I planned just because it was so easy. There were a number of branches I’ve been meaning to cut for years but never wanted to fire up my gas saw just for a few random things. This electric saw made it too easy. Grab the saw, gloves and safety glasses and away you go. The bar oil seems like it’ll last through several batteries as long as you are not cutting things horizontally as the oil leaks out of the vent hole in the cap. That was really annoying and a poor design. I’m glad I bought this saw, it’ll be perfect to carry on my four wheeler for small jobs or for some discreet ninja cutting of fatbike trails. Not having to pack gas and oil is really appealing. This saw isn’t going to replace a gas saw (unless you rarely cut anything) but is a nice compliment to it. I can see throwing it into a car if you were heading out wanting to have a small fire somewhere. It wouldn’t stink up the vehicle with gas fumes. In my photos I showed part of what I cut on one battery. I was surprised how long the battery lasted. I had to tighten the chain once, the adjustment system wasn’t as easy to use as I was expecting but not needed to bring a separate tool was nice. Be forewarned, this saw likes to pack up that area with debris far more than any gas saw I’ve used. You’ll need to pull stuff out from time to time. Yeah, overall it’s a nice, handy little saw that was reasonably priced and works quite well for what it is.

I love this little chainsaw! Its not super expensive, the batteries last decent for this unit. Great controls, design, bar chain oil functions, chain tightening control, has bar sheath, cuts great. The build quality is great. Have another one of these I used for couple years at home. Got another one for cutting wood in other locations. Its only a 10 inch bar, but works great for smaller pieces of wood. I would only buy Black and Decker batteries for it though. The knockoff batteries suck!

DeWalts, Milwaukees and Makitas must be nice, but as a new homeowner in sudden need of a whole arsenal of tools, they're out of my price range. Black and Decker is the low-budget alternative, and like all of the other B&D tools I've laid my hands on so far, they've outperformed what I expected of them. Tropical Storm Isaias took down a pair of trees, one of which measured about 12 inches wide at the trunk, and this saw dutifully hacked them apart. It wasn't lighting fast, it wasn't a glamorous montage, but over the course of a couple of hours and a few battery changes, the trees were steadily reduced to logs and branches. It does really suck the batteries down, but that's a worthwhile tradeoff to never deal with 2-stroke oil or gummed up carbs - or expensive service calls from an arsonist. With enough determination, it could probably slowly chew through thicker trees, but I felt that the thickest cuts on the trees I handled were the comfortable limit. The saw isn't super heavy duty, but it can handle abuse short of intentionally destroying it. The only flaw I can point to, is that it leaks bar oil slowly when it's not being used - no problem, it's so lightweight and easy to handle, I can just turn it upside down and pour the oil back into the jug. In just two trees, its already paid for its self and then some, and I see no reason why it won't last for many years - and many trees - to come.

I waited more than 2 years to write this review. This little chainsaw has cut a ton of wood!!! Over fifty trees have come down and been cut up. At one point in the high heat of summer I did have the poor little machine smoking form the inside. I thought I had pushed it too far. But after it cooled down it still runs like a champ. I have two negative things to say about it, 1) as lots of people mention the oil reserve is a joke and I don't use it anymore. I just apply oil myself when needed. 2) the chain traps a lot of debris inside the covered bar end. You need to clean it out every now and then. Overall I am very happy with it and would/will easily buy another when the time comes.

Love my mini chainsaw, works with all my other black & decker batteries, ease set up and storage, great for small to medium projects

I took this on a trail to remove a few deadfalls. It is light and easy to carry for miles which is why I bought it. However, it is underpowered and went through the two batteries I had with me very quickly. It is good for the homeowner who will occasionally want to remove or prune small trees. It worked marginally well for me as I did not want to carry my much heavier Ego 14". I suggest having at least 3 or 4 fully charged batteries handy when doing anything but small tasks around the yard.

Great 10" Saw, works great for medium to small trees. Prefect for around the yard work.the chain can bounce out a bit if you are not putting enough tention while cutting, or not holding it with a proper grip. It is definitely worth the price Pros: Easy to use , the machine is light weight, and the chain is easy to adjust. Cons: Will require the 5.0amp batter park for any use longer than 10 minutes the 1.5Amp batteries die quickly under load The oil leaks out of the pump if you put it in any weird positions, like upside down.

Se ve de buena calidad, llegó en el tiempo acordado; Buen sistema de seguridad para evitar el encendido accidental.

Been looking for an electric chainsaw to cut down small trees on trails on my property. Previously I bought a one of the low cost mini cordless chainsaw that are on Amazon the price was cheap but the batteries did not last that long and it was impossible to buy new or replacement batteries. The Black & Decker 20V Max Cordless Chainsaw, worked great and used the same batteries that my Black & Decker Alligator Lopper uses.. I was able also to buy extra high compacity batteries. The problem that I made was to save money I bought one of the used chainsaws that where offered on the sidebar for $96.93. To start the chainsaw worked fine but eventually it became weaker and did not have the power. One day I went out to the garage to get my equipment and put a new fully charged battery on it and the engine smoked. The upside is that Amazon.ca put me in contact with Black & Decker and being that it was only a month old they will be replacing it under warranty. I am now patiently waiting and hope the replacement arrives in time so I can do some clean up before the snow falls. October 25th, I received a replacement from Black & Decker and it included battery and charger. Yesterday I tried out the new BLACK+DECKER 20V Max Cordless Chainsaw to cut down a spruce tree by the road with an 8" trunk and it cut through it like butter. Used the Max Cordless Chainsaw to delimb the branches from the tree, Will keep you informed

Excelente producto, cumplió con mi expectativa, ideal para el Jardín

I have a gas chainsaw that I downgraded to a smaller one recently as I am finding them heavier now at 55 young. I also have the pole saw from this series which I absolutely love. This 10inch saw is the perfect complement to complete the toolset. Surprisingly powerful to cut larger wood than expected. It is the best tool to make a few cuts on larger branches once on the ground when pruning. Also very good if must climb to cut a branch. Wood not use this saw to cut a cord of wood! For some reason it tends to bounce when cutting if not very well positioned. It is lighter than the gas chainsaw but could be lighter. It is build much tougher than the previous 8inch model. I have one acre to maintain and very happy to have these toolsets to help me!
