18 Inch Gas Chainsaw

Was looking for something smaller than my larger logging saws to do cleanup and small jobs. This one fit the I’ll for me. Lightweight, easy start, takes some wear and tear off the larger saws. Used for a few months now, seems pretty reliable so far. Good value.

Good saw for a good price.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE REVIEW!!!ORIGINAL POST:I followed the assembly instructions with ease. I go to start it up for the first time and notice a spot of oil on my driveway when I turned it off. I thought that maybe it's just a "break in" type of thing. So I take it up to my property (the reason for buying it) and the photos are from two different trips. I have to rest it on a T-shirt bag (like stores use) just to collect any oil that comes from it.I'm trying to return it and that is a joke! This is a 3rd party seller, so returns or refunds have to go through them. Shy of that, it works like a chainsaw.UPDATED POST:Like with many of us, we buy something on Amazon and trust that we got a good deal, a deal we could not get locally. So after reading the mixed reviews on this one, I gave it a try. So after all the joy(sarcasm) I had initially with the chainsaw leaking oil, and because this item is not returnable, this company did their best to provide me with photos of where I could make adjustments to eliminate that oil leak. This is above and beyond what their owner's manual provides. I'm guessing that's because the adjustment was probably something the consumer should not need to worry about.By the time I received their response with those instructions there was no more oil in it, or enough to create that drip. As a result, these guys simply chose to send me another one. The replacement is working as designed. It tells me that for whatever reason the first one had issues that were never caught before it was shipped. Now I can say that this is working nicely. This is the lowest price I've ever seen for a chainsaw and the 2nd time around these guys got it right!!So my take-a-way is... anyone can make a good product the 1st time. How a company handles things when their product doesn't perform as expected.... that really is the make or break with a company. This is no different than going out to eat. A bad server can still do a good job when everything with your meal goes as planned. How your server handles things when things don't go as planned.... that helps you see a great server shine!!! ... While I've never heard of this company until this purchase, they handled my complaint like a great server!!... For that reason I've chosen to update my post. I could have deleted the first part and gave you the same "great product" type of review others post. I chose to give you a real and honest review. This is why I give these guys an "upgrade" from my original 1 star review to a 4 star review. Thank you BILT for your great customer service!!

Good deal

Out of the box the oil fill screw was stripped, took six weeks to obtain a replacement. Saw saw cut great even with oil dripping from the oil tank. Next time I used it the automatic oil system would not work. Tried several cleaning of oil dispenser was unable to get it to feed oil. Called the 800 phone number listed in the manual, first I was told I had been selected to receive $100 dollars before I could talk to a service representative. After serval refusal to register I finally got a person and was asked for my credit card number or my checking account information. I refused this request and the was told I would have to paid $1.98 I believe was the dollar amount, I asked the representative as to why I would have furnish the credit card and checking account information or even pay to get information as to how to get service on my saw which is under warranty. I never got any information as to get repair. At this time I cancelled the phone call. I guess as they say, “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR”

This Built Hard saw has exceeded my expectations. Works very well, and is easy to operate. The weight is perfect for someone who has limitations due to a nerve dysfunction, but still are able to use both extremities. Would recommend this to anyone who needs a great working saw. The only downside is that it uses a little bit more gas, but the performance is great.

Used it twice-- Decent chain saw although it "drinks gasoline"--which would not be a huge problem; but once you to stop it to refuel-- it doesn't want restart! It doesn't start even when warm/hot-- You have to go through the "cold start" process and then it doesn't stay started, if it "kicks on" at all. Wait a long while-- I did overnight-- and got it started again, only for it to "not start again" when I stopped to refuel-- very annoying and unproductive! Otherwise I like it-- it is HEAVY but cuts well-- a little under powered going through OAK trunk a couple inches wider than the bar-- but really not an issue-- oilier works well -- about 3/4 empty when refuel was needed-- Would give it 5 stars if it reliably started!Update: Have had saw for 1 1/2 months now and have used it 5 times-- each time the "starting gets easier" and will restart now after a fuel refill. Saw still "drinks gas" but it works well-- am more impressed with it the more I use it. I still believe it is a bit "under powered" for tree diameters a little larger than the bar length-- If I were buy another saw I would buy this brand- but in their 22" (56cc engine vs this 46cc engine) size--

Work great
