Comments about Homelite 12 Amp 16" Electric Chain Saw:

I cut down and cut up two small trees, cleared some brush, and removed some limbs. I found it easy to use, light, and powerful enough for my jobs, but the chain did come off several times. It was easy to put it back on, however.

Fine Product, easy to clean, and adjust.

Comments about Homelite 12 Amp 16" Electric Chain Saw:

Very easy to use and this is coming from a 50 year old female. The "tooless" features are great as you don't need extra wrenches to remove the cover, you can just twist a knob to remove it. Also the oil window is great as you can readily see how much bar oil you have without unscrewing a cap. Plus I love the ease of just plug in and go, no pulling a rope or getting it flooded on a restart.

pretty good!

Comments about Homelite 12 Amp 16" Electric Chain Saw:

I gave my Homelite 'gas powered' saw away, since I use it just a couple times a year. This electric saw worked perfect with no starting troubles like the gas one. I used the new saw to cut down and saw up a 12" in diameter windfall willow tree. The saw's rpm's are a bit slower than a gas powered saw but with NO hassles that a gas saw requires. Light in weight and easy to use for around the yard for trimming or firewood bucking.

Comments about Homelite 12 Amp 16" Electric Chain Saw:

Great saw but chain is a little on the cheap side, I have never bought an electric saw that had a great chain on it right out of the box and did not buy this one expecting anything different. Replaced the chain with one I had and no problems. Very powerful, lite and easy to handle. If you need a saw for around the house, this is a great one to have.
