Got the chainsaw about a year ago, been using it to cut fire wood and stuff way tougher than what you just cut. Through the petrol saw away these cheap saws are outstanding. Mine has many hours of hard use and is still going strong, get the chain sharpener for $ 70 approx. it works great and keeping the chain in good shape makes all the difference. Good review.
I've got two of them now. I only use them for firewood collecting but last winter I felled fifty foot trees (40cm to 50cm diameter) from a friend's property. No problems.
Thanks to your review and another one, I got this yesterday - which will be used for firewood collecting in state forests etc, with a permit. I've also had the little 18V for ages and its great for small stuff as you can hold it with one hand when removing branches close to the ground. The great thing about the 36V saw is that it uses the same batteries (2) as the 18V. I have had an EGO 56V which is an amazing 18 inch saw but the latest generation batteries are just not reliable. Three returns in a year - and EGO are very evasive about the known issues with the new generation batteries. Also, no need for an electric sharpener at all - I just carefully file my cutters and rakers and get lovely chipped sawdust from really sharp chains. It doesn't matter how sharp your cutters are, those rakers have to be lightly filed below the height of the cutters to get a good chip out of the wood. But don't file them too low, as you will get too much kick-back in a smaller saw.
I was looking at UA-cam videos of the 18v Ozito chainsaw and saw your video, not knowing there was a 36v option. I am looking to get one for emergencies when I am working out in rural areas and would keep it in my trailer. Reason being was I went down a track once and 2 hours later coming back there was a windblown tree across the track. Lucky for us we went back to the farmhouse and found an old axe. I don't wish to be caught again. I think they should come in a carry case to keep it stored in the back of the ute or trailer but then again Bunnings have many plastic storage box options. Thanks for your review.
I've got this same chainsaw, the 2×18v blower and 2×18v hedge trimmer as well. With a set of the 5.2aH batteries, mate they are bloody awesome, gets through that same size stuff you cut without any stress. Once you invest in the top batteries, all their stuff goes bloody well actually.
Rubbish! The chains are completely useless they die after just a few logs, basically cannot cut through blood wood, just one cut blunts them. The batteries are hopeless and bloody expensive over $120 each for questionable 5.2 amp batteries given that Aldi sells them for $29.95 for 5.2 amp hour . I was only able to use ozito 36 volt for 35 minutes before both fully charged batteries died in the arse! My advice is stay clear. Buy a reputable German or Japanese branded petrol chainsaw that can go hard with no problems all day long
Thanks to ozito I have ozito power tools used them for 3 years with no problem the battery’s life is too long I used the 4mh battery for 3 years still work same cheap and power full
Haha. It was actually starting to rub up on the caravan so I had to prune a bit off that side. It's bushed out a fair bit since then so its not looking so lean anymore 👍
I sold my nice little echo petrol saw. This Ozito 36V saw outperforms it. As long as you sharpen the cutters regularly and occasionally file the rakers, it cuts beautifully. I've been felling 50 foot dead gums with it. I love it so much I bought another one.

Good review.
Agreed.
A saw is only as good as it's chain!
They are great little saws especially for the low cost compared to other brands.
Cut a Ute load of lengths of gum or box with it alright?
send me all your petrol saws...

Thank you 😁
Hope you found the 18v version

Nice as!
I have the same 3 but the hedge trimmer is only the 1 x 18V version.
Cant fault them and i use the blower daily.

I use AEG at work (love them) but at home I use Ozito as they are cheap and easy to get skins etc.
Ozito definitely has a place in anyone's garage
Thanks so much for much for the review , on my way to bunnings right now 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Ive used this as camp saw and have cut 1.5 foot round logs with it no issues
They go really well!
Such a handy tool around the garden and camping.
Stupid question but if u buy it brand new does it come with oil or gotta buy that separate
Gotta buy it separately 🙂
To all the would be pruners and tree choppers make an undercut first dont just start sawing.
I own the smaller version and with a sharp chain it has no problem taking down trees to
They are decent as.
Since the review I've also taken down a very large apple tree and a few large yukkas.
It's very good with a sharp chain!
Prices
Good review of the saw but not sure if you should have lopped off a tree on the nature strip lol..
Haha.
It was actually starting to rub up on the caravan so I had to prune a bit off that side.
It's bushed out a fair bit since then so its not looking so lean anymore 👍
Only need to order it. No need to order it in!!
Look like- Einhell chain saw.
Thanks.
Einhell owns Ozito
@@zeniktorres4320 In Russia we have no Ozito ). But i can buy Einhell.
It's the same,..in Europe it's Einhell
Wow not bad
Since buying ive used it a lot and still loving it!
Send me all your petrol chainsaws people..
