You are the only person I know who is crazy enough to go out in the cold just to do a chainsaw review. Stay warm, stay safe, and don't catch pneumonia.
Good to see you. I have no need for a chainsaw but it looks like a great deal for the price. I bought a Vevor rock tumbler and it has been running non stop for three months now. It warmed up to 20 degrees here, Thanks for the video.
Mark I started using vevor products about two years ago, mercury outboard control, socket sets, punch sets and other pieces, have been very pleased with all of them so far, will continue to purchase, good tools fair pricing. That same saw in Stihl would be $400. As always enjoyable and informative vids. Rick S. in Snow covered panhandle of Fl.
Mark, the way you attach that bar and chain is pretty simple and easy. First: With the chain to the side, attach the bar with the cover nuts. The nuts should be directly on the bar and slightly loose. Second step: is to arrange the chain over the drive gear, with the cutting edge of the teeth facing forward on top of the drive gear. Third step: Pull the bar to the chain loose position and place the chain on the top of the bar, then rotate the chain around the bar keeping the chain on the drive gear and the drive legs of the chain in the groove of the bar on top. Once the chain has been fully rotated it will be around the drive gear and in the bar groove. Forth step: Tighten the chain using the chain tightening screw and the appropriate screw adjustment tool (the sparkplug/screw wrench or scrench). Do not over tighten, just firm and continue to hold the bar in place. Final step: While holding the bar in place, remove the nuts holding the bar in place, (do not allow the chain or bar to move) after the nuts are off, install the chain brake cover back over the drive gear, clutch, and bar connecting area and re install the nuts. The chain is now installed and standard chain tightening procedures should be used to adjust the chain. Remember that this is a new chain and will initially be tight, it will loosen and stretch as it is worn in and need continual adjustment during use.
It definitely sounded like the old school saws. Great review Mark. Thanks for sharing your true thoughts on this. I recently got a Vevor sewing machine for my leather business and the reviews were ridiculous. I have not had any of the issues the other people have… but I am not easy to quit on something I spend money on. Haven’t had any issues and it has worked great for everything I have e used it for so far. Thanks again Mark!
Bitter cold outside today, good day to stay inside inside the shop doing odds and ends and other assignments. I appreciate reviews. Its like taking a test drive without having to leave home. Sounds like it starts "old school" style. Personally, I like that.
Turn the bar right side up Mark turn the bar right side up Mark turn the bar right side up so the chain will fall on the bar and it will go over the clutch real easy mark right side up Mark
I have a Husky 261 dating back to the 1990's and this looks a lot like that with the exception of the fast idle on start when the choke is set. The Chain install is the same and takes some time to thread on the bar. Looks like a good saw for the money. Terry in MN
This was a great video, Mark. I enjoyed the review. This saw looks great aesthetically, and it sounds awesome. You were getting some great chips, and the cuts were smooth and, from what I could see, effortless for the most part. Years ago I had a firewood business and while my business partner used Stihl like you I was a diehard Husqvarna user. To those naysayers that may be out there complaining about doing reviews on products that are useful in your industry. I say pay no attention to them.
That looks like a decent saw for a homeowner to use for light duty use and at that price i think it would be handy to have around , it will be interesting to see it used in future vids - its nice to see that vevor picked your channel to send you the saw , hopefully the vids reviewing it will get your channel over the 100k subs 👍🇺🇸
Pretty nice saw. Starts easy enough. We have a couple Stihl Farm Boss. This would be good for the lighter weight sawing i believe. I'll look into it. Nice to have a back up. Thanks for the ride.
I am writing this while you are assembling the saw, I have purchased several Vevor tools,and for the money, I have been quite impressed! Looking forward to the end of the video for your reaction. Just remember it's not a Stiel nor priced as one!
I used to work on that stuff. If you want to not have to worry about what the fuel/oil mix ratio is supposed to be, you can now just get some 2-cycle mix oil that's labelled "Full Synthetic," and put it in however much gasoline it says on the oil bottle. Problem solved. You can use that Full Synthetic mix oil in any 2-cycle engine you have and it will be just fine.
@@markgalicic7788 That's fine...most things in the last 20 years or more run on 50:1 mix. If someone has older equipment or don't know what the mix should be, then just use the full synthetic. Works for any ratio.
@ Full Synthetic oil can be used for any air-cooled 2-cycle engine fuel mix, regardless of the original mix ratio listed by the manufacturer. It replaces all the mix ratios. Does that help?
Hello Mark enjoyed the video. I think that chainsaw would be ok for odd jobbing about but for that money you get what you pay for. I have been a big Stilh fan all my life but everybody to themselves. Take care stay safe. B. K.
petera.laceysr.28 an idiot knows which way to put a chain on a chain saw !!!! DUUUUHHHH!!!!!!! you know the saw on the bottom cuts when its coming toward the saw so DUUUUUHHHHHH !!!! You want the sharp part of the cutting teeth towards the saw, and conversly then the top of the saw chain then will be pointing away from the saw. Plus if you have no knowledge of how a chain goes on a saw you have no damn business messing with a chain saw !!!! Go figure !!!! geeeese ......
@@wilburfinnigan2142Geesh, have a little consideration for someone wanting to learn something new man. I'll guarantee someone taught you how to put a chain on at some point. You'd do well to lose the know everything attitude, because I'll also guarantee that you don't.
Dear dougrobison. I wouldn't want to use a stinking and loud chainsaw with an combustion engine. For 2 decades already I use a cheap (only 50 Euros ! believe it or not!) but great 220V chainsaw (Royal/Einhell) with 2200 Watt (= 3 hp and high torque right from the beginning). Enough power, very lightweight and really quiet. You don't even need hearing protection. Additionally: Absolutely no vibrations coming from the motor and of course no exhaust fumes! With such a saw it's absolutely no problem to use it the whole day. Maybe I will own a good quality battery powered cordless chainsaw in the future additionally. But only if they become a bit lighter and less expensive. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Mark, thanks for this Video.😎😎😎😎👌👌💯💯. There is a price-point-saw for every one and task. That said I think a logger would not be served with this but the occasional sawer it would be great.
Gee, I thought for a minute I had mistakenly tuned in to Buckin’ Billy Ray! That saw looks like a real bargain at $100. A good quality Stihl chain costs about $50 bucks! I doubt the chain would that comes with the saw will last like a first-quality name brand, but if you’re using it for occasional brush clean up and maybe clearing storm- dropped limbs in the back yard, that little guy’s a winner.
... cool spare saw I wore one out ten years ago when the 52cc version became available for $60 the fuel lines rotted off after two seasons and its been parked since I love those mixing jugs and still use them and may try to fix it if I need a spare again but prefer to use my real saw (Dolmar) with the better power band .. nice saw ..!
There are some screws and fasteners that you may want to put loctite on due to vibrations and such that one will encounter during usage. Seems they will want to loosen over time. idk 🙂👍
Mark most companies print the chain information on the bar look on the bar and see if the chain information is on the bar above the driveway links of everything else it needs to usually that’s where they printed is on the bar check that Mark
$129? Worth the money for your occasional user. Seems powerful enough for yard work or maybe medium size tree work. Will make good light duty around the house tool. Or maybe as an add on to hunting or camping trips. Life expectancy is a yet to be determined factor, but for the price 2 or 3 seasons of light to moderate use would be fantastic. About on par with some of Echo"s smaller saws. Had my doubt when Mark mentioned the price, but seems worth it even with the chain/bar issue.
Anything will run a bit when new. We'll see how long it'll last. My Stihl saws lasted 10 or 15 years and still ran till my neighbor killed it. It's like bus motors. They're supposed to be outdated but they're still the best powerplant you can get for a mill. God Bless Yall and it's 35 and sunny. The skiff of snow from yesterday is long gone.
Mark Unboxing: "This got the better part of me."......so what you're seeing before you now folks, is one hollow husk of a hunky human being after I was robbed of the 'better part of me', nothing but hunky husk left. Most people I know tell me its been a long time gone. What's that leave folks?

Looks like it has good power. Im Leary about reviews on product sent out specifically for a product review. Did that have some one go over the product with a fine tooth comb to ensure everything is perfect, better chain that usually ships with products. May not be the case?
Half past one in the morning looks a nice little saw maybe not professional but it would do a job for a small holder, I still have four saws oldest one is a fourty eight inch 090 sthil 1960s newest one is 16 inch sthil 2003-4 they all still work , I don’t use them very often now I can cut enough fire wood in a couple of days lasts me all year , anyway have a nice day

that saw is one of many Asin saws, they name them all different names, but that's funny to me. I've done reviews on many of the 62 cc models. the switch type yours has i stay away from. they fail to easy. but with all that said the saws do run well and i've been pritty hard on them. one more comming today to review. for the money you spend i can't see how you can beat them. great saws for bucking up off cutts and limbing. lots of power for the size and they sound like a hot rod. lol
@@markgalicic7788 as for the clutch they refure that as a external clutch drive, much like husky's. put bar on first push back all the way to the clutch then instal chain is the best way.. enjoy.

Hey Mark, thanks for venturing out in the cold to do this review! Stay warm and I look forward to seeing the sawmill!
sit the saw upright then put the bar on then put chain on the sprocket end first it takes all of the trouble out of installing the chain.
