Craftsman 18" Chain Saw —
I purchased this 18 inch Craftsman chain saw in Sept of 07. I got tired of paying someone to cut up medium trees that were being toppled after storms. I had previously used a 14 inch electric but it was just not powerful enough for all but the lightest jobs. The Craftsman 18 inch starts easily if you follow the instructions. If you already think you know how to start a saw and fail to follow the instructions you will have a hard time starting it. Saw cuts well as long as you keep the chain sharp. The fastest way to dull a chain in to touch the ground with the rotating chain while using it. I would guess that this saw would be at it's best in light duty around home use. The tool-less chain tension adjuster works well and is easy to use but after every use it would be a good idea to remove the bar and adjuster assembly and clean out all loose debris. The adjustment works much better the next time you go to use it. Remember this is not an industrial chain saw and neither is the price expensive either. Just be sure to be cautious with the use of this saw any any other power tool.Craftsman 18" Chain Saw
