I'm a novice with a chain saw and I just purchased this BD saw. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this review. Thanks. Michigan
Tom thank you for your kind comments.
Excellent video! This was really useful for me. I bought a B&D 40v recently and it came fully assembled in the box. I plan to use this to cut small branches. Thanks for reviewing!
@iddiyappam you are very welcome.
I have just bought the b&d 12” 36v chainsaw which came fully assembled and I’m hoping to cut my firewood so this video has been really helpful to understand it’s limitations, as I am a newbie. Thank you so much for making it.
Elaine you are very welcome.
Idle has nothing to do with the chain brake every chain saw has a hand brake the brake is for when you are at full throttle and you have what they call a kick back which in turns make the brake engage. A great video
Thank you very much.
Thanks, great job! Very professionally done. I will click on your affiliate links just because of your full disclosure, which is rare among UA-camrs.
Thank you for your kind comments!
Great video review on this product. I think this B&D is perfect for my camping needs. Thanks for the review, great in-depth one.👍
You are very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful.
This is a great video for this saw.
I have this saw and use it for Tree of Heaven (invasive plant) removal work. It is fine, as you say, for smaller 6-8 inch, branches but it does not have enough power for larger diameter trunks. I have found it is very effective for making the cuts in the trunks to spray herbicide needed to kill Tree of Heaven. It is much easier than using a hatchet. I can get into the center of a multi-trunk tree to make a cuts for the herbicide and I can't make a deep enough cut with other tools.
I'm a female and I carry this saw a mile or so out to where I am working and it is light enough to not be a burden. It also is quiet and I work in park lands so that is nice that the sound of a chain saw is not broadcast throughout the forest disturbing park users.
I learned things about my saw from your video. You have a very nice presentation style and are very thorough in your explanations. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind comments!!
Very nice video - Much appreciated. Bought mine new, so very happy with the outcome of your video ... lol .... It came assembled without battery and without oil. Mine was fully and very firmly packaged.
Donald thank you for the update!!
Awesome video! thank you for take your time to make this review.
You’re very welcome Victor.
Really well done, instructional video. Have a brand new Black and Decker which came fully assembled,; no chain oil included. I am planning on cutting aspen and downed wood and I think this will be just right for my purposes. Thanks!
Denise I completely agree. Aspen is a soft wood and this saw should have no problem. Thank you for your kind comments.
Was tryin to talk myself into this B&B and out of the Makita 14”, but think I will pay up for the Makita. Thanks for saving me from a mistake
You’re very welcome. I’m glad the video was helpful.
Excellent video, thank you so much.
You are very welcome. Thank you for your kind comments.
good quality videos. i hate battery tools but you did them justiCe
Thank you for your kind comments.
Amazing video man
Thank you so much!
Great video. My new chaisaw was purchased from Amazon, tool only, did not come with bar oil and the chain was installed. The item information said "new" and not refurbished.
Derek thank you for the update.
Excellent video! Really helpful for chainsaw newbies like me. Really appreciate the effort.
Nelson thank you so much for your kind comments!! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Great job.
Jay thank you so much!!
Very good video. Thanks. That log seemed to be very hard wood. Would have like to see a gas saw try it.
Having cut a lot of firewood with a gas powered chainsaw, I would say there is no comparison. Power-wise a gasoline chainsaw is far superior. You will sharpen or change out the chain more frequently with gas to keep it cutting efficiently. The advantage of a battery powered chainsaw is noise and winterizing. You don’t have to worry about the gas going bad
Fudge those 2 chainsaws is like a butter knife cutting a steak 🥵 hot dang
Brilliantly demoed and explained. You seem to have hit all the salient points. Plus, you are a great communicator! (But you probably already know that!) Really helpful video, thanks.
PS I was wondering if experimenting with a slightly more viscous oil might help with the machine's thirst?
Best comment of the day!! Thank you, Dave, for your kind words.
Cool. I have the 40v weed whacker, deck blower and hedge trimmer. Had them for a couple of years and was wondering if the chainsaw was any good. Seems pretty decent for the mostly light duty work in my 7000 sq/ft garden. Especially when you can buy it without a battery and I have two batteries interchangeable with those over tools already. Cheers!
I totally agree with light duty usage. I think it would be fantastic for hunting and camping to quietly clear trails and cut enough wood for your campsite.
I just bought a new one from Amazon, came with the bar attached....
Glad I saw this; I’ll rent a gas saw. Thanks
You’re very welcome
Lol. This log was very hard. I have watched other videos where both saws did better. The log looked hard as steel. But if you are going to cut a lot get a good gas powered saw.
A very helpful video. Thank you. What type of clamp did you use to secure the branch to your saw horse?
Peter I used “one handed bar clamps” like these: amzn.to/3y0Sg6K
They are also available at any hardware store. thank you for your kind comments.
@@houseonthemend Thanks for your prompt reply, that's great.
You are very welcome.
Would this be good for weekends at to camp or the quad trail?
I think it would be great to clear trails for camping or a hunting campsite.
@@houseonthemend Thanks!
Whats the name of the yellow thing he uses to hold the log? Amazon link?
I was using a simple woodworking clamp available at any hardware store. The specific brand in the video is Dewalt: amzn.to/43EchQ6
Did the saw come with the battery and charger or did you already have them?
I bought the saw “tool only” since I already had batteries. You typically get a choice.
@@houseonthemend Thank you that is what I thought. Do you know if the one in your link that cost $134.99 comes with a battery and charger? It does not make it clear.
I have this same model of chainsaw. I bought mine brand new and sadly it does not come with chainsaw oil. I love this chainsaw though.
I’m glad you like it. The saw has performed well for me.
@@houseonthemend I think this type of chainsaw is very good for people who only use it for home use. It cuts all types of woods and is decent in size. This chainsaw does a good job in terms of cutting branches or logs that are up to 8" in diameter. It'll take more time to cut anything bigger than that. If you are looking for a chainsaw that cuts wider than 8" I would suggest a bigger chainsaw. Sadly, Black + Decker currently doesn't sell any battery operated chainsaws longer than 12". I guess we'll have to wait unless you want to buy a gas or electrical cord chainsaw.
Agreed.
use same battery as the B m D mower??
Yes it does.
It's like a kid's toy 🤣. Seems more suitable for limbing 2" branches than actual bucking
With today’s impressive battery technology, I did expect better. Gas and 110volt still for the win.
Why is the chain of both electric saws blunt, it's hard to cut
As stated in the video, both chainsaws started the comparison with new chains. They were typical chains that were very sharp.
Hello friend, who wants a cordless chainsaw, what model and brand do you recommend that it be good?
Great question. If you have an existing battery platform you are using I would go with that brand if they have a cordless chainsaw. Most popular brands today make good tools for DIY applications.
@@houseonthemend I am not new and I want to start with a good brand that will work for logs, what would be the recommendation, friend?
Ok. Milwaukee is top of the line with durability and battery platform (also very pricey). Personally I would watch some Ryobi 40 volt chainsaw review videos and see if they can hang with log cutting. Ryobi makes great, affordable DIY level tools and their 40 volt battery platform has a huge outdoor tool lineup.
@@houseonthemend Thank you friends
You are very welcome.
Apa kelemahan chainsaw ini
Answer: please watch the pros & cons section of the video at 31:27
Translation: “What is the weakness of this chainsaw?”
My new 40v was assembled without oil.
Neil thank you for sharing your experience.
At first I thought you had your chain on backwards
Nope.
B&D wins
I like the video. DOnt really like the tool. It seems weak.
Thank you for watching and sharing your opinion!
That 40v Cahinsaw has absolutely no power one cut takes max 15seconds
Both saws are a joke I wouldn't cut firewood with that

Vegetable Oil based vs Mineral Oil based = ESG nonsense.
I didn’t take the recommendation to use vegetable oil based bar/chain oil as ESG. They seemed genuinely concerned for the health of the living tree properly healing from the pruning.
That chain is dull as hell!!!! I think you said refurbished? I would say who ever had it before you dulled the shit out of the blade!!
I completely disagree. That chain was new.
🤔 These saws seem best suited for small pieces of campfire wood of 6” diameter or less. I certainly would not use the chains that come with them. The chain that came with my Kobalt saw was pure garbage.
