Am I the only one finding it ironic that its called Pinkway, but the saw is purple?
You read my mind.
It's pink.
It's what happens when you upgrade........
It's 2024 and this brave and stunning chainsaw has so much raw power it can identify however it likes.
exactly what I was thinking!! LOL
The reason the pull cord feels funny is that it has easy start. It winds up a spring with your pull then pops it all at once. If you try to start it like your arm is broken (pull like you can't start a saw without decomp) and it will start easy.
Nothing will beat the chainsaw chainsaw!
All hail to chainsaw chainsaw 😅
Never forget. 😂
True
HEAR, HEAR!!!!
Chainsaw Chainsaw ftw everytime.
This saw is an old Zenoah clone with lipstick. Pre emission era saw. They run surprisingly strong.
Clones are hard to beat for the money
@@ericharris893 i agree
Glad you helped him with the zenoah clone.
Was zenoah part of/absorbed by Husqvarna?
@@ethansmith9065 Zenoah was a japanese company, most likely absorbed by Shindaiwa and later by Echo, but I'm not sure.
You are going to be responsible for more Pinkway sales than any of their sales reps! You should be their spokesperson.
Already has every model they make is out of stock.
"I only needed 62 but 63 is even better" 🤣😂🤣
Said he only needed 19 but 20 is even better also 😂
This one goes to 11.
The image of Dean, the big tough lumberjack, running a purple saw from Amazon is hilarious. 😂
High vis orange spray-paint solves all identity issues.
its not about the color, its how you use it ;)
i've scratched my Cornea fuckin 2 times in the past 3 months doing treework, and here's Jacob who NEVER wears safety glasses doing full removals getting facefuls of sawdust, and then he doesn't even wear glasses grinding chain! i wish I had your luck Jake!
It’s all about the squinting technique
I almost never wear safety glasses, my bad luck has yet to come
All about the safety squints.
yeah, I literally have a brand-new pair of safety glasses on my face at all times. Because why not, I try to prevent things from happening if possible. I stopped working for this guy, because he never cared about safety he would literally flip out on me and call me a pussy because I wanted to tie a latter off when we were roofing a house. He said it would take to long, "your not going to fall'. Okay bud no buddy has ever fallen off a latter. Or working on electrical receptacles, I wanted to turn off the breaker. He once again flipped out on me. I said, 'well I'm not doing it then". Didn't have my multimeter on me, like who knows they could have it wired to 240v or worse ( I know unlikely) But you cant tell me that has never happened. Its not worth it. Especially when at the time I was making 15 bucks an hour. I will take calculated risks but only if I'm doing the calculations myself.
@@JakePlisskin12 I now work in Bulgaria doing construction/renovations, here in Bulgaria safety is not the number one priority, I do quite often have my concerns but just decide not to care, I am an 18y/o apprentice but I work with some guys who I trust my life to, especially a British guy who I work with is very involved with me doing sh1t safely. A few days ago we where working on a roof wherefrom the highest point was about 5-6 meters but there was no safety sh1t, if you slipped you’d slide down the boards and would have to be lucky to grab a crack between them if you don’t wanna kiss the ground. As you can see by this comment I lucky got down alive but it was my first time actually being on the roof of a house and that was quite scary. I normally am not to scared of risks and heights, I’ll even climb trees 5+ meters without being secured but on a roof there is little grip so it’s quite scary.
My point is:
Dangerous stuff will always be dangerous but only if you are uncomfortable doing dangerous things will they become more dangerous
I love when u do review videos with these cheap saws. Its crazy how some of them are actually good saws too
Good for a weekend warrior who cuts a limb a year
@@jnorth5689 That's probably most of his audience.
I ported the intake and exhaust on one of these and it runs even better. 50.1 ratio all the time. Cut the rakers down on chain and it will really cut. Also the pull start is a easy pull if you pull it hard it wont start pull it easy and it works everytime.
Instead of throwing things away donate them to a charity or thrift store that gives part of their money to charity or put them up for free on Facebook or something
Nice thing about you buying this saw is you’ll put three years of homeowners use on it in three months. So you can report back on any issues with wear, and if anything wears out, parts support
25 to 1 is for the parts of the world that they put used motor oil in the mix because that’s all they have
Never never put used oil in a 2 cycle it will kill it. Use oil has flanks. Also don't use bar oil either it good weed killer water down in. Sprinkler can .
That, and also for cheap oil like generic outboard motor oil
what "parts of the world" might that be? hmmm
Exactly. I run these 25:1 to break in then the same as my others with no problem
Yes, that is the reason for it. If you are using 2 cycle oil, 50:1 is universal and will work for pretty much anything. My 066 runs on C12 race fuel, so I mix it at 32:1 (half a bottle of dominator oil to a can of C12). Everything else get’s 50:1.
I'm not sure I've ever been more excited about a new Guilty video.
Gordy is gonna have to make a set of "Big Pink" 3 spike Dawgs for you!😅
One good thing is if you can't afford a stihl or Husqvarna this will be a good option for a homeowner
I have a tree business in Florida and I am also guilty of buying cheap off brand saws for good deals just to see what they can do.
And why wouldn’t you? 120 bucks for a bit of fun! And if it blows up, or a stick falls on it, its a lot less of a headache then when that happens to a 500I for example.
@@PimSchouten500 really don't break down often from my experience I have five of them three of them for 4 years old to or 2 years old I've never had a problem yet with them
@@br-dj2ti no I dont mean breaking down haha, I mean breaking it by smashing it with a log. It would hurt more then a 120 bucks saw from China
@@PimSchouten oh yeah you're definitely right about that buddy 100% LOL God bless
The ms 460 clones aren't bad
The recoil rope WILL break
50:1 versus 25:1 relates to the quality of the 2 stroke oil only and this is specified by the oil manufacturer. The fact that the saw ran fine on both without mixture adjustment is impressive.
Honestly even if the saw never ran again after that job, it did fine for what it costs.
I can't wait to see those "Best Saw Ever Made" on sale at Sappy Supplies. I would pay extra $$$ to have it ported and polished with a West Coast Saw bark box, 5 point felling dogs and foam filter. 😂
Jacob, you’re fired🤣 this is hilarious.
Your deadpan delivery is slaying me. 😂 Well done. 🎉
I ought a 58cc 20” bar last November for $85 on Amazon cause it was cheaper than a new bar and chain! That thing is a Stihl clone and it surpassed my expectations! I use a saw maybe 5 times a year so spending $400 plus didn’t make sense. I have had zero issues out of the saw and it starts every time on the first two pulls!
What was it
Can you tell us the name of the saw
Thanks for this great review! I just ordered one. What a great price! The reviews on Amazon were great. I just cut a few trees around my home. I only have four gas chainsaws and two electric, so I definitely needed another one. 😁 $130 with the tax, wow, can't go wrong! My oldest chainsaw is a Homelite Super XL that I paid $300 for new in 1984 (a lot of money at the time). My most reliable chainsaw has been a Chinese Ryobi that cost $130 about 10 years ago. It starts easily every time and always runs perfect. I love your channel. I love running a chainsaw and cutting trees. There's something thrilling about having all that power in my hands. It's almost like an amusement park ride.
The 25/1 ratio is usually for just their break in period Jake.
I have had a Chinese saw for 5 years, I took my regular 50:1 mix and added some cheapo two stroke oil someone gave me for the first few gallon of fuel, after that all red Armor 50:1 and she still runs great with less smoke.
Don't the Holzfforma clones call for 25:1 too? I think most people run 50 in those
@echocall they do, but running good 2-stroke oil at 50:1 has never been a problem. 25:1 just gets too smokey and makes my eyes burn ang gives me a headache.
I run my timberpro and parkerbrand 50-1 or maybe >40:1 and it's fine. Keep the chain sharp so you're not abusing the motor and they are well worth it for the 10 cords I fell and buck a year
so what you're telling us is that 99% of all average joe's who need a chainsaw a couple times per year DONT need a $2k+ Husqi or Stihl?!?!?!? Who could have imagined that would be the case.
CONGRATS ON 1 million by the way!!🎉🥳🎊🍾
I have to say from watching your videos from when you were work in east side to now I have learn a lot from you on felling trees and love watching your videos keep up the great work
That saw will get you lots of jobs in washington
bahahahah ....something like that
I’m traveling and came to WA for the first time. I drove through kings county, man it’s amazing! I’m from VA so we don’t have this beautiful scenery. But these trees are massive!
I have the same saw and its been going strong for over a year. The pull cord feels like a bungee because it has "easy start" you can pull the cord slow and it will still start (actually a great feature)
I've been waiting for this!
Very interesting! I might need one of those purple saws for my channel. 😊
I have been looking around for a good saw that I can use while out on the back woods jeep trails. I would love to see you use this over time and give it a review after a couple of months of use.
Awesome video Jacob you know they do a top handle hopefully thats next review 🏴👍
That exact same saw is $494.29CAD ($359.37 USD)on Amazon in here in Canada! What a rip for us!
I've got a Holtzforma, and they too suggest 25:1. Like you, I ran a few tanks like that and switched over to 50:1, and that was 3 years ago. It's still running fine.
Thanks for the review.
Reminds me of my Polen Pro Wild Thing. Still have it after 20 to 30 trees and the motor is still strong. Paid under 100 bucks at WallyWorld. The bar went toes up and was replaced.
As soon as I saw that ratchet scrench, I headed to
sappy supplies. Nice! 👌🏼
But sold out!
Yes… I had about $75 worth of crap I really didn’t need for free shipping too. 🥲
good job jacob. i just ordered the pinkway and the pinkway 25cc top handle. I like trying these low priced saws also.
I think personally I like these videos the most watching you do reviews on chainsaws from Amazon or wherever
as an overland beater saw on back of a 4x4... this saw would be a win! ❤🎉
“ the saws just get better as you go” lmao
Lies, everyone knows that the chainsaw chainsaw is the best saw ever made
Great to see guys enjoying their work>
I wonder how that saw will go with Australian Ironbark and Bluegum ??
Chainsaw Jenna has that same Pinkway saw. Maybe you all could do some videos together and learn some carving techniques.
Lifelong framer from Germany here, lived from 1996 til 2018 in Alaska. Came back to Germany and had to get a chainsaw certification 😂😂😂
The devil will be in how well the Pinky holds up over time.
I have a cheap 62cc Chinese saw too. I love it. Can’t kill it. Yet. And it’s incredibly reliable. These saws will never compare to the big brand professional saws but they absolutely have their place for the causal homeowner user. You can run them with 50:1 no problems but allegedly do better if run-in at 25:1 like you did.
in sweden we had 3 brands of chainsaw manufacturer.husqvarna jonsered and partner, husqvarna is as you know still around but the other 2 is gone and this pinkway is a copy off a old partner saw,this model is sold as a bunch of brands/names,
Partner only sold DIY stuff in UK.
It's actually a clone of Komatsu Zenoah G500 and Jonsered I'm pretty sure got bought by Husqvarna, Partner probably too.
Jake, last fall I got some little yellow saw just like that. It was 12” bar , crazy useless file etc. I fueled it up and put it through the ringer, fully expecting it to not hot start. Or even start at all again. I was wrong, the lil sucker is a crazy one handed tool and it is almost my go to for light work and even some extended firewood bucking. I put an Oregon 14” on it and it’s got enough balls to handle some leaning on it.
It was about $100 and it was a hell of a surprise.
My 14” husky battery is 2x that!
Qztodo? I have 2 (thats another story) of them and run them all the time for light stuff. The only functional problem I had with them was my fault -- in a rush cutting a tree top off a fence just before total dark, I got the bar pinched and ripped an AV mount (under the top bar). Ordered a full set of Zenoah AV mounts for $10 off ebay and fixed the problem when they arrived from China. I also have a 10" bar that I want to try on one, as well as a 14" bar, no reason in particular, just like messing with those little saws.
Yes, that’s the one. It’s a screaming beast. I thought my ancient Shindawa was high rev and it has a 14” bar on it and was my fastest, lightest saw until this guy showed up.
For those times when you don’t need the echo timberwolf , which is getting used less often as I get older and less enthusiastic about sawing in general. 😂 I think also a learning experience, see how much you can get done with the little buggers. Might be my imagination but I seem to get a lot of running time from a tank of gas too.
2 x 25 to 1 fuel = 50 to 1
Simple math
You just need 2 Pinkway saws
Out of the box a good carb tune as well amazing
Nice Purpleway. I see you got the upgraded bar.
Soon as the WCS Pinkway felling dogs come out, I’m definitely buying the Pinkway! 😉
I bought this saw for my channel a month or so ago, been using it for buckin'. So far so good
I ran my titan 49cc chainsaw in on idling 60°c for 3 hours before cutting soft prvi hedge and 40,-1 mix aspin and sthill ultra fully synthetic stroke mix
Great video, you truly put it to the test. How often did you have to sharpen the chain?
Pinkway saw sales about to skyrocket! Disturb the market! 💪😂
I have a neotec and garwinner. They start on the first pull every time, and my neotec top handle that was 100$ is a beast, I used it to cut down a 25ft walnut tree. They are great until they aren't.
cheaper saw + expensive chain grinder = good saw
Jake, you need to teach Tim at veterans tree service how to identify different trees. LOL. Great video.💪
At 8;20 that is what they call a square ground cutter on your chain. They run those a lot out west , they do well in large trees. Clean them selves out nicely as they go through.
I sharpen my saws by hand. Only time i use an electric sharpener is if i hit something and and round the tooth off then usually touch it up with a file. I have 4 saws and now this is making me want to get one and try it
I have a Dereal Pro 6220F, paid the same, and it is the same saw except mint green. It has been shockingly good, and starts like a champ every time. I've read/heard they are based on Zenoah design.
Backup saw for a guy starting out.
Saw for a homeowner cutting a few tree limbs
Camp owner doing 1 or 2 cords a year of firewood
Hard to fault these things.
I have a 50cc, a 365 clone and a 395 clone. Not replacing my old 272xp or my CS 2152 Jonsered but they work for the money
Idont know how they can even sell them for 122dollars thats crazy
When you pay your sweat shop employee's 20 cents an hr it starts to make sense
child labor is how
@@hillcresthayfarms9664 Don't worry someday those kids will become proficient and running sweat shops of their own and will have learned all the skills to operate at a young age
Its as with every niche product initially going cheap on amazon, they wait until popular channels gets one and praises it, then they up the price by 3-4 times and lower quality maximum.
Over 60% of the world's population lives off less than 2$ a day.
The main challenge with any cheaper gear is how well they will last in good working condition, not just a quick test run. May be fine for someone who want to get a small bit of firewood once a year, but for professional use, a risk, although a cheap one.
Cut firewood with carefully treated cheap saw, sell firewood, buy professional saw, Simple !
Love that smiley face on the helmet mate
Jacob that saw looks identical, aside from colour, to a "62cc" Giantz brand saw I bought a few years ago for $90 Australian, on eBay.
1 trailer load of firewood and they pay for themselves 😂
Yo Jake you should test Echo chainsaws next PLEASE
Best saws ever
My cs 310 is nice way past due on maintenance plus she runs off the top. I messed up a Stihl chainsaw at school. I had polen pro wild thing that sucks. Echo is where I am at. Oregon need to reinvent advanced cut S56 that dual out on me.
don't bother, just leave ECHOES ON THE SHELF, TRUST ME....
You don't see the Stihl and Husky zealots trying Echo saws because they know their hearts will be broken when they find out how much money they've been wasting all these years on the designer brand cool kid saws.
My Echo 400cs 18"is one of the most dependable chainsaws that I have ever purchased. I have cut right at 192 cords of Alligator Juniper Plus a lot of cords of Pine, Cedar and Pinon with it so far and never had the plug out of it yet. Works like a dream compared to my Six year old Stihl . Always starts on the first pull every time. Paid about $ 200 bucks for it about 14 years ago. I guess if it ever dies I might try that Pink Way.lol Keep up the good work Jake!👍
31:13 That's what she said!! Nice work
You can convert that to a side tensioner very easily. Look up 25cc chain tensioner on the jungle site. Trust me it fits. Remove the side cover / chain brake. Remove the 2 screws and plate covering existing tensioner and remove it. Take a 5/16rh Drill bit and run it through the side hole that is for the straight slot gear part of the tensioner. That will allow it to fit. Push that piece into place. It will be a TIGHT fit that is normal for that part. Install the adjustment nib / screw bit into place. Pro tip is to adjust the bit so that it lines up with the current adjustment you were using. Once you get it all in make sure there is plenty of grease all over every part of the tensioner including inside the plastic pockets. It will be VERY hard to turn at first. It should self clearance then work normally after you run it back and forth for a bit. I've done all of the chinese saws this way since I figured it out.
It's also safe to run these at 40:1 with high quality oil. That's what I've been doing without any obvious extra wear. That's my main complaint about these saws. They only have a 510ml tank so it goes really fast compared to at least 800ml on Stihl. It looks like yours actually got the 48mm bore cylinder (61.5 actual CCs FYI). That hump I could see on the side of the cylinder. It should have came with a small crappy but functional dog in the bag. Mine did. They have 4 actual sizes of these clones. Chainsaw Chainsaw (25.4cc) is the smallest Zenoah Clone. Then it goes 46.5cc, 54,5cc, and 61.5cc. The best power can be had from the first and middle sized units as the transfers really suffer trying to feed the bigger CCs.
Pinkway did well. For 120 even just last cut stump saw. Cheers
just found this video… a minute and a half in and i love this review already! making me laugh
That was cool. Good for the homeowner.
I can’t find it on Amazon, did so good with it no one wants us to have good stuff for cheap
Break it in with 25:1. Run it with 50:1 Surprise!
Enjoyed the video. Well, you got your $122 worth and then some on the first job. Too bad the chain break broke....something had to give. Let's see how long it runs for Kevin. Keep us posted. Thanks for sharing this fun video.
I just bout a yellow one to that in Jamaica called worksite same thing only difference is mine is yellow and the on/off button is a toggle switch same fill ports, choke handle and 25:1 fuel mix calls for 10-30 oil instead of bar oil
Wonder what a little minor porting and muffler work would do to that saw!! Pretty damn impressive for $129!!!
You should review the pink way top handel version
The lack of eye protection tell me everything I need to know.
Or hearing protection or chaps.
From the Amazon reviews it's a one-time use if you can get it started
It’s Like a Poulan But Actually Runs and Works 😮😀😮👍🏼
I picked up a Husky 543XP Clone (Neotec) for $109 and so far it's exceeded my expectations for a small cleanup saw. Shocking how good the cheap saws are.
You should try out the FarmMac (Neotec) F-380 (72cc Stihl 038 Magnum II clone). Mine came with 25” Bar and pulls like an old school Stihl 044. It’s a real Beast !! Only paid $350 free shipping. Walked right through several big trees and even cross cut the big hunks into small chunks throwing spaghetti noodles. Haven’t even needed to sharpen the chain yet ! I did upgrade to a better air filter than the one supplied however. Anyone with only a few big trees to handle occasionally would be crazy to buy an expensive Stihl or Husky in the 70cc range for well over $1000. The saw is now pickled with storage oil awaiting the next Hurricane or Wind storm mayhem occurrence.
Jake,
think that's a great saw for a casual, non pro
The way the bar bent and the weird pull make me wonder how long it would hold up
in pro use.
It's amazing for the size, but you have to wonder where the compromises are.:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
A 28 inch bar would be more suitable for them big wide tree turnks however for a small 20 inch bar better grese bar and sprocket and fit new chain to improve cutting time and use sthill ultra fully synthetic 2 stroke oil
Hey bud, I noticed your chainsaw chain sharpening tool and I was wondering where you got it and I was wanting one of them for myself.
If you are using stihl oil 50:1 it's the same as 25 :1 with cheap oil. 50:1 stihl mix will be fine for this saw
I looked at the reviews and more negative about not being able to start after first use.
along with chain stretching after a few cuts. other comments about missing parts and
leaking , I have a stahl saw probably 6 years now , use it at least once a year.
Jacob, did it leak any bar oil when resting?
"Nice user manual, throw that away..." 😂😂😂😂
You probably made your money back just using it on that one job for 120$ thats pretty sweet!
The starter cord may be a two spring system. They feel more elastic, but they are smoother and more usable. Just about getting used to them.
The average homeowner buying a 800 dollar stihl to use it maybe once a year or every other year is throwing money away. They would be better off buying one of these.
Totally different if you are using a saw to make a paycheck.
The same Pinkway saw is $494.29 on Amazon up here in Canada
I actually bought one because someone stole my Husqy. The chain broke on the second cut. Im going to slap a longer bar on it and see how it does. It seemed to run well but I never had an issue with my Husqy.
I love cheap chainsaw reviews 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 best wishes from germany
I run all my saws 1:50, even my 1:25 but i use special fuel (Aspen).
PS: i think its a Zenoah knock off. Zenoah is a japanese saw. Very often sold in Germany.
Hey Jake that saw is a knock off of a saw from a Japanese brand that is owned by husky so if you want to change that bar it will either be a K095 or D009 mount bar that will fit that saw
Looks really comparable to my 460 rancher. I buck about 4 cords of firewood a year and that saw is perfect for it. Damn you got that chain sharp as hell though. I've never pulled chips like the
