Bosch Chainsaw UniversalChain 35 (1800 W, Weight: 4.2 kg, Chain Speed: 12 m/s, in Carton Packaging)

Great tool and great price.

I bought this having seen it in a DIY store, I'm not a lumberjack and I'm not cutting down loads of trees, just cutting up logs into smaller chunks for our wood burner. It was a little tricky to put together, mostly getting the chain on was a bit fiddley but once it was put together it worked very well and was more powerful that I expected. It might not be clear but I needed to buy oil as well (this is essential) and once I had it going it cutting up the logs with ease (I would recommend you fully understand the length of the blade). Every now and then I did need to stop sawing to clear the sawdust from the machinery but that wasn't a huge issue. The only other negative point is that the power cord isn't particularly long but I have a good long extension lead which solves that problem.

I've been able to cut down a huge overgrown apple tree in my garden with the use of this saw. It is not the biggest or toughest available but it is very capable of dealing with large trees. The height was about standard semi-detached sized house roof and almost twice the width of the saw reach. The key I found was take it slow, use the locating teeth to walk the saw slowly across the branches and trunk. You also have to adjust the tension often and keep it topped up with oil or you will have issues and you don't want a lose chain flying about. The light weight was helpful as the access to the trunk was not easy.

This is a great chainsaw. For occasional garden use, for managing a few overgrown trees it is perfect. I used it to cut down a few trees around 8-12 inches in diameter and it coped really well. I'd recommend wearing good quality gloves, visor and safety trousers, as any chainsaw is a dangerous. I'm a big fan of Bosch, having bought many of their products over the years. Great quality, feels solid, good instructions on assembly, includes power cord. It's still quite noisy, only about 25% less noisy than a chain saw, so try to use sparingly and ideally not at weekends. Only way it could be better is if it mentioned that you need chainsaw oil to use. I didn't order any, so that postponed my use by 10 minutes, I popped to Homebase and got some for £5. Great product!! highly recommend.

primarily bought this to cut some old sleepers up and a tree in my garden. had some issues with the chain at first but once it was tight enough it was fine. cut through the sleepers no problem, quite light and easy to use.

It's not so much the saw that's at fault but the chain's wear out very fast. Don't buy it. I couldn't complete one job.

First ever chainsaw so was worried this wouldn’t be good purchase.Used to remove 3ft off overgrown hedge that hedge trimmer couldn’t deal with.Quality and powerful, chain came off a few times but this was probably just me getting used to using it and having the correct tension on the chain. Stops instantly so very important for safety.

Had to return this item, it was my fault. I ordered an electric corded chainsaw instead of battery operated. It was returned with no dramas. Love Bosch tools.
