93 total cuts avg of 1.5” diameter wood on 1 battery charge. This includes the torture test portion as well, very impressive!
The best review
and before you made the 93 cuts, you had cut 2 bigger trees, right? On the same battery?
@@josefinandersson7646yes all the cuts in the video including the larger maple cuts were on 1 charge!
@@daudrazaThanks! 👍
Wow awesome review 💯❤️ looks like after watching this I know what to buy 👍🙂 thanks bro....
I’m more confident to use mine now. Thank you
Great! Use it! Be safe!!!
ordered myself one. great video.
Thanks! Good little saws for sure! I haven’t worn it out yet! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I am so glad that you reviewed one of these because I wanted to get one and never did because I was concerned the reviews were not true on various kinds. Thanks!
Glad the review and test was helpful! I was skeptical too. It is perfect for small stuff around the yard.
Only downside is, my Fiskars pruners will probably get rusty from sitting. The mini saw will be my go to pruner from now on!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just got mine and haven't used it yet. First time I will have used a chain-saw, so your demonstration really helped dispel my nervousness. I'm much more confident. I can't wait to use it. It seems perfect for the work I need to do around our property. Thank you.
Glad you found the video helpful! I’m sure you’ll enjoy the saw! Just be careful and take it slow starting out until you get the hang of it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Me too! Thanks! Off to prune my snow damaged rhododendrons, snowball bush and lilac trees!
Good review video.
Even ‘newbies’ would understand your instructional skills.
Hats off to ya!🙋🏻♂️
I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Went to the links...
There’s a 6” version as well as extra chains, cases, etc for the 4” & 6” versions.
@@michaela.abbott222
Yes there are multiple configurations. Can’t provide any feedback on the 6” version.
The second link in the video description is the best deal on the 4” saw, includes the hard carry case, the saw, tools and 2 batteries.
I saw someone else review this and I bought one. Mine came with two battery packs. I used it to cut some smaller brush and limbs and it worked so well for what I needed. You sure did put it through the torture test!! I wouldn't use mine like that, but for reviewing you did a great job!! I used mine for a good while and still had charge left.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Since filming the saw has been used heavily. Over 50 charges on the battery and counting. It’s holding up well.
Fake
I've been using that 4:26 but after a year or two it's doesn't work as good any more and can't cut larger branches. Seeing you putting this little thing to work like that, I'm impressed. I think I'm in love with this thing. I appreciate how you keep updating us on the battery status, that's important for me. Never use a saw before but your video seem simple enough. Thank you.👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! The Saker saw is a tough little machine! If using saws for the first time, be sure to be extra careful! Stay safe thanks for watching and commenting!
That mini saw cut much better than I expected. I am impressed, especially with the battery life. That would make a great tool to have on hand for small jobs.
It really is impressive. No more needing to crank up a big saw to cut little 2-3” saplings. Save gas and time! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for doing this review. We have looked at these but just weren't sure it was worth the money. Will definitely look at these now.
You’re most welcome! Glad the review video was helpful!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow, awesome work for such a small unit. Great presentation ❤
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Brilliant tool. About to purchase one👍
Has been a good little saw! Hope you enjoy yours!! 😊
The best review I have seen of this saw. I might purchase either the next size - 6” or possibly even the 8”. I would love to see you test the 8” you certainly removed any doubt that I might have had on this model. I am 78 years so this would be the perfect saw that I might be able to use. Thank You so much sir
Thanks for the kind words! It’s a great little saw! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Thanks for the review. Looked at one at Home Depot that was a lot more cost. Enjoy your channel and good to have a local creator. You are very informative and explain "how to" very well.
You’re most welcome for the review! Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoy the channel/content! Thanks!
Great review!! Exactly what I was looking for!! Someone to test a bigger tree limb!! Other then branches!! Thanks!! I’ve had my Saker for about a year and haven’t used it yet!! Ready to go now!! All primed after a few good videos!!
Glad it was helpful! Tough little saw. Over 100 battery charge cycles now on the saw. Makes clearing underbrush a breeze! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you, I managed to tighten the chain as a result of watching your video.
This is the 2nd time of using my Saker mini electric chainsaw and I would highly recommend getting one.
Awesome! Glad you found the video helpful! 👍
this showed me how to use my new one!! thank you!!
Glad you found the video helpful! Hope you enjoy your saw! Be safe 👍
Those are handy for on the trail like you said. I have a Milwaukee m12 one that is good. They are very handy around the house. Thank you for review!
Very handy, glad I was able to test this saw. I haven’t used the Milwaukee brand chainsaw, I’m sure it rips! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice little saw, i never would have expected it to do what it did. & i have 4 chainsaws & have work with them my entire life. At the beginning i was thinking what a waste of money but I'd buy one
It was way tougher and more powerful than I ever expected. I could definitely see carrying this while cutting firewood to clear the small brush out around the base of larger trees. Save fuel and no risk of a dulled chain on your main saw.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks i just bought one 😊
Awesome, hope you enjoy! I’m still using my little Saker saw!
This was the really best review on this saw. So many other reviewers just showed either one drop of oil on the chain or a sprinkle on the chain for an inch or so. Then not move the chain completely for at least a full revolution. Did these other reviewers wonder why it is called "bar" and chain oil,.....no. As shown here correctly the oil must be applied between the chain and the bar to eliminate the friction. I was so impressed with this saw I bought here in UK, the same design model but as a 6 inch under another name and for half the price. My saw came in a hard case, two batteries and a spare chain. All parts look identical to the Saker one. After seeing this excellent review I searched on Amazon UK for the identical model. I hope it works just as well.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the review!
It really has been a good little saw! Still gets used, not broken yet! Hope yours holds up as good as mine has! Appreciate you, take care!
Thank you for the test and review. I just received this saw and tried it today. I learned here how to cut down about a 5 to 6 inch tree with your cut. So far, love the saw for I cannot handle large saws.
Nice work! Glad you found the video helpful!
Thanks for watching and be safe with your new saw! 👍
Great Video! I just got mine FedEx last week. Haven't tried it yet but this awesome video showed me what to expect. Thank you. 👍🤠🙏❤🇱🇷
Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s a cool little saw. Keep the bar/chain oiled well. Be safe! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great review.....its helped me make my mind up. Definitely going for one of these 😁
Wow, just ordered one. Thanks for the review.
Hope you enjoy it!
What a great review!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Thank you for this review. I have been considering getting one of these, but always had my doubts about how good it would actually be. I bought a cheaper version on Amazon which couldn't even lift the bark from a branch! I'll definitely take another look at this with a view to getting one. Cheers from the UK!
Glad you enjoyed the review! It has been a tough little saw!
Hope all is well across the pond! 👍
I been looking at this for a bit now, after this Im going to buy one, thanks for the review
Glad I could help! It’s a tough saw. I haven’t killed it yet! Over 100 battery charges and still ripping!
😊very good 👍 👌 👏 🙌
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this review. I sure can use this for the small stuff.
The saw surprised me with its cutting speed. Especially on sub 2” diameter. Can retire the Fiskars pruners now. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That's good enough for me. I'm going to get one for myself. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting! Be safe!
Thanks for the “torture test.” ❤
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I e got my 6” mini chainsaw on its way nice tool to have !! Thxs
Very handy indeed! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best review about this saw on yt!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 👍 👍
Thanks checking to buy for my 84 yr old and me 60 daughter
Glad you enjoyed the video!
So happy that your channel is gaining popularity and the vendors are reaching out to you. Thats all those bunny videos lol. Thank you for the review of this tool. I saw it on the internet and was wondering if it's any good.
So nice of you! I’ve been very blessed to have an outstanding group of supportive subscribers and viewers like you! 👍
Cute bunny videos maybe helped a little too!😊🐇
I’m very grateful to have a growing channel and for the opportunity to be able to review this saw!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for a great review. I have just bought this saw and having never used one before, I was interested to see how you checked the chain first and what to do if it was too loose.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looking for something like this for my wife. You sure helped me with my decision. I heard that using this on fruit trees you should use vegetable oil instead of the provided oil. Wouldn't that gum it up? Thanks again. Great video.
Glad you found the video helpful! Some recommended veg or mineral oil on fruit trees. Do what you think is best but I’ve used regular chainsaws and petro base oils without issues on fruit trees. YMMV
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just bought one of them chainsaw with a 6-inch blade and it is telescopic i can reach up into the tree and cut some branches with it its possible you can use Marvel's Mystery Oil to lubricate the chain
Awesome job on the review brother, very detailed and I really like the fact that you really put it to the test with some bigger trees like I did. I ran into the same problem with the chain guard on mine but man this little saw is a awesome little tool to have! It sure cut through that maple like butter lol.. Again great job on the review brother, looking forward to checking out some more of your content!
Appreciate the kind words sir! Tough little saw to say the least! Glad you like the content, stick around a while, lots more to come!
Whooo giddy up and thx 4 video
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Great demonstration of the Saker mini chainsaw. I am looking for a mini chainsaw and saw your review on the chainsaw. Yes, it was TORTURE TEST. I am leaning toward to buy this brand. It seems that you demonstrated the 4inch. My question is, would the 6inch do even better?
I can’t speak of the larger model. I’m unsure if they used the same motor and bigger guide bar or larger motor for the larger guide bar equipped saw.
Same motor and larger bar would be more strain on the saw. Larger motor to compliment the larger bar, one would expect better performance.
Hope this helps!
I was going to buy the Makita 6" at 200$😂, but after watching this I saved some money and got the Saker mini with 2 batteries for 58$ on Amazon.
I have a Saker Mini Chain Saw.and I am very pleased, I bought mine for $ 89.00 it came with two batteries a spare chain and cuts thru my garden debris like butter , just follow the manufacturers directions and you will also be pleased. Remember stay within the guidelines Don’t try to cut down an oak tree , Ha ! Ha ! . There are people out there that don’t think we’ll Saker again you did good
Definitely a tough little saw. Pushing past its limits still, has held up well.
Thanks for sharing your Saker experiences!
Wow that's an impressive little saw. That would be nice to take camping or clear out a shooting lane for hunting. Can't believe how long the battery lasted. Might even be nice to limb larger trees after you fell them with a large chainsaw.
Camping use or lane clearing are excellent use ideas! 👍
Also would be good for clearing brush around the base of large trees. Or keep in a car/suv during winter storms in case a small tree/limbs block your way home.
So many possibilities!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just bought this saw yesterday and am so glad to see such a positive review. It's my first power saw of any kind. I bought it to use around my garden. I've never handled any tool with a motor before, save for an old corded electric drill. So, I figured this little chainsaw is a good one with which to start. I bought it on sale from Amazon based on the ratings and reviews there. It just seemed like a very good tool for the price.
I'm now wondering if the manufacturer sells a 6" blade kit or the parts separately, should I ever want a slightly larger blade for that motor. I'm guessing extra and/or replacement batteries are available. I bought the extended warranty, should there be any problems.
It’s been a good little saw for sure! I have a 9000 cut update video on this saw as well!
Be safe with your saw! I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
PS; the motor will run a 6” bar and chain, lighter cutting pressure is required!
@@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Thank you. 🙂
Using a one handed saw, it’s easy to put the other hand out there to steady something or push brush out of the way. That’s an easy place to get badly hurt. Just remember, it doesn’t know if it’s hitting your hand instead of brush. Make a mental note of what you’re going to cut, and how, before you pull the trigger.
Chain bar oil works too! LOL!
Yes it does!
Just subscribed, we were just sent the same saw to review , Take Care 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for subscribing! Good that you got sent a test saw as well! Have fun, be safe!
I bought one of these. And it worked great, just like in the video. After about 6months it would run, then shut off, then run again and shut off again. It seems like a thermal protection thing. Annoying as hell. I tried to see if I could by pass the overload device. No luck. I bought another one, same thing. How about do an update video? My experience is these saws work great until they suck, which happens rather quickly.
Sorry you’re having trouble! Mine is still operating and is on its 2nd bar and chain
@@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Thanks for your reply. I use the saw for trimming palm trees while on a ladder. Which beats the hell out of the hand saw I used to use. The one hand operation is the only safe way to do that on a ladder. A bigger power saw is out of the question. Thanks for sharing your experience.
If you’re looking for a heavier duty option there’s always the Milwaukee hatchet. $$$$ but will cut and buck full size 8-10” diameter poplar and sweet gum trees on a single 6AH battery.
@@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Yeah, I am leaning in the Milwaukee direction. I just wanted to know if you had a similar experience as myself. I appreciate you sharing your experience. On the other hand what they charge for trimming my palms I would pay for the Milwaukee on the first use.
I like the electric chainsaws better, I have one, not the one you reviewed, mine is a skil, but it cuts like a champ too.
I thought the battery saws were a joke until last year and I got to try an Echo battery saw. Impressive for what they are.
Same with the mini saw, I got pleasantly surprised!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mine has been operating very well after 6 months. I am now interested in a replacement chain but am confused what length to buy. The saw is described as a 4 inch saw. The closest length from the sprocket to the nose of the guide bar is approximately 6 inches. The 4 inch description probably refers only to the exposed (cutting) section of the chain. The instrutions are of little help. So what chain length should I buy, 4 inch or 6 inch??
If your saw says it’s a 4” model, use the 4” chain. You are correct the exposed cutting area of the guide bar is the standard measurement for chainsaws.
Hope this helps! Stay safe!
If your cutting fruit trees use veg oil not mineral oil
Good point!
Ive never used a chainsaw on live fruit trees. I prefer bypass pruners sanitized with alcohol!
@@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Paulette is correct! The mineral oil can hurt the fruit trees!
About how long do you think the battery lasted in minutes? Thank you for reviewing this saw!
Not sure how long it would last in minutes. Cutting the large maple pieces is beyond the manufacturers recommendations. I would guess non stop cutting of smaller stuff at least 30 minutes. That would be trigger pulled/in the wood continuously.
Time is not a good measure for the saw battery capacity. Amount of cuts per charge is more accurate.
@@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD Thanks for the reply and answer
You’re most welcome!
I thought it was 38.00 last night my husband showed me the pink and I was going to get me one but now they are 89.00 😢😢😢
Amazon doesn’t like companies to sell out of a product. So vendors will often raise prices to slow sales! It will come back down!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It jams on every cut no matter the pressure or lack of pressure you use. I had it oiled, charged, could not get through a single branch--not even on butterfly bushes or rose bushes. Thought maybe I was doing something wrong, but obviously after watching these reviews, it's just junk!
Sorry you’ve had problems. Mines been a trooper. Check out my update video on the saw. ua-cam.com/video/ygRgkf1SdFs/v-deo.html
Did you return for a refund?
I am SOLD! 😃
I’m sure you’ll enjoy! Take care, be safe! 👍
Great review except price.
Check for sales, they will drop the prices every so often. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Timberrrrrrr!!
😊
Hey NEW FRIEND! I unboxed and reviewed this saw yesterday! Check it out. You did a great job brother!
Thanks for the kind words!
I just burned my wife's Saker..😢😢i should have never brought it to work...
Only used it twice
Great review! Loved the torture test to see what it's really made of! Not knowing much about saws, this was very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Just posted another video on the saw with an update!
