Christmas ebay saw

At least it's not a Pistec Only thing I find with mine is the brake flexes a bit much.

 

OK for that price! The husky t425 which looks VERY similar is list £300+

Just noticed it is the same as this one here!

Looks like a $25 chainsaw?

Or Chainsaw 25CC(KXD-CS2500) (China Manufacturer) - Products

 

Wonder what a chinese £500 saw is like ?

I once had a 16" chinese chainsaw .. ran for a year with progressively more things going wrong with it .. mostly little things like the vibration mountings getting worn out .. then I was using it one day, got a bit of kickback and the chain brake handle just snapped clean off ...

Needless to say I got a stihl after that

Hi

 

Its an issue with cheap saws, unfortunately some not up to EU safety standards

The funny thing is it didn't even engage!

The saw seems to be working fine. When it warms up it is fine. Torque is not great but what do you expect from 25cc. It just makes my life easier

 

Plus I cannot think that a large German company would sell non approved goods. TUV is quite strict in Germany. The same as FR Jones would not sell something that is dangerous. It is not a Stihl or Husqvarna that is supposed to work 8h a day, but a useful tool for occasional use.

I agree, they're not all bad & as you say fine for occasional use.
