Summary:
overall good for the money. I use it almost daily
Strengths:
Easy start , plenty of power
Weaknesses:
only the oiler ,,, BUT ! its a easy $5.50 fix that anyone that can turn a ratchet can fix its the same oiler gear that a lot of other saws use. sears part number 537252601 most sears parts have in stock. remove clutch cover, bar, chain, spark plug . fill cylender with nylon twine or roap, turn clutch wheel clockwise to loosen ( yes reverse Thread) and there is the gear . and i have fixed many of these mostly due to incorrect oil or running dry . if you ever let it run dry on oil it will strip almost imediatly.
Used product for 3+ Years
Purchased From lowes
Found this review on line. Been looking at these refurbished but have found a lot of complaints about the oilers not working, B&C wearing out from lack of oil. Has anyone tried replacing their oilr with this. I wonder if it is made of plastic too or if this is a better material. If you let it run out of oil it's toast immediately? Wow better make sure you fill the oil every time you gas up.
