Bucking logs, with a cord, a battery or gas · review
A low-cost gas saw, with a real 18 inch bar and a 3.8 star score from 265 ratings that warns you what the price buys.
VEVOR states 52cc, 2.55 HP, an 18 inch bar, a 16.93 inch cutting diameter and a 0.58 quart tank.
Cheap gas saws can run well, yet carburetor setup and chain quality vary.
Wear chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection and gloves. Keep the chain sharp, and cut on a sawbuck or log stand, never with a log held by a foot. Read the kickback section of the manual.

It has a similar engine size for less than a quarter of the price, with far less buyer confidence and no dealer support.
Up to 16.93 inches, according to the listing.
7.0/ 10
Cheap to buy. Budget for a tune-up and a new chain before you rely on it.
