Chinese Professional Chainsaw from eBay, review

[idiotwithasaw]

It was a Christmas gift from his dad, why wear that one out when he has other beater saws. Use it for big wood and go on.

I watched cl for a few months and bought a 'non running' 066 for $20... It needed a new master control lever (actually still does) and wouldn't stay in high idle. So you have to hold the the throttle after it pops on full choke to get it to start. Otherwise it was/is in good running condition.o

I also paid $47 for a good running 026 with almost new bar and chain. So for half the cost of one POS chi com saw I have two saws that can handle any tree that I will ever come across.

And I've actually scored better deals since then.

Moral of the humble brag poast: save your money, don't buy China *s-word and watch cl.

Yeah but, ... You're the GOAT!

Unrelated to the OP's saw, but thought I'll leave the following picture here as the builders don't want their customers to know that the Chinese are ahead of them in squeezing power out of cc's!



I wonder why I even bother hauling my PS-7900 around...

EDIT:
No, that saw is not made in Germany - the sticker might be though!

 

[Marshy]

Yeah I had one the same. Said it was 58cc. Did a gasket delete and timing advance and left the muffler. Like ya said chain was crap as. All over the shop. Resharpened it and was a fantastic saw for $60US delivered to my door!!

It appears we have all been mislead and should start acquiring Chinese saws. Good job on making that little POS run well.

I don't think I have seen that exact one, but scams like this (where the saw isn't a copy of anything, but has a "brand name" and/or model number + colors that resembles a well known brand/model) are fairly common in Europe.

What makes this one worse than many others is the blatant lie about 4.8 kW.

I'm not sure where the stickers are put on these scam saws, but believe the factories in china just sell them by the pallet in the colors the costumer ordered, and that the stickers (that is the real scam) are added later.

There's no doubt about the Chinese saws.
It's all about how long will it last like that.

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks to me like the Chinese saw is a clone of a box store remington. What do you guys think?

 

[nnero]

They are all clones lol. Saw a craftsmen pro grade or whatever at ACE Hardware and it look similar too.

WILHELM The sticker for that chinese saw should of read STEAL copied in china! HAHA.
Interesting review this is the only way I get info on a saw like this so thanks for the info. As expected basic copy of anothers product. I wouldn't want one especially for a business setting I hope if/when the saw fails or something breaks it doesn't get anyone hurt or anything damaged in the process.

CHINA SUCKS!!! (couldn't resist)

Sorry it has taken so long to actually run this saw in wood. I've been extremely busy lately and I'm not even in Georgia at present as I'm tied up in a conference all week. Just got finished with a 4 hour class on the Pratt and Whitney PT-6A engine. That was interesting.

Anyway, I will report in once I have a chance to cut some wood with this thing.

Regarding "cloning", this saw doesn't look like anything I've held in my hands, so not sure it's a copy of something.

My brother spent close to 20 years rebuilding PT-6's. They must be hundreds of thousands of them in service.

I was actually surprised how few of them were built considering how prolific they are, the materials I received today say "more than 44,000 produced and over 23,000 operating around the world". There was one impressive number though, "over 365,000,000 operating hours".
