Bosch Cordless Chainsaw UniversalChain 18 (battery 2.5 Ah, charger, SDS system, blade length: 200 mm, 18 Volt System, in carton packaging)

Great little saw,works really well & designed really well,with simple operation.Has not leaked oil & being electric the noise level is much quieter than a petrol version.It's compact & easy to store when not in use.I'd say great value for money & I'd recomend it for small jobs.If you are considering this item, have confidence in it,it's a great little saw.

So, if you accept that this isn’t going to be felling General Sherman for you, you should find it is a great bit of kit.It’ll take down boughs and trunks of decent girth, and you get a good number of cuts from the 2.5 amp hour battery supplied. With care, you’ll be able to deal with larger diameters than claimed, but be sensible with it. Even though there is minimal kick back given the small bar and the tip protector, with a bit of experience and confidence you can be felling larger sized trees than you might expect - and there’s the risk for the amateur…Benefits - lightweight, easy to use, more powerful than expected, battery lifeCons - none. I cleared a very large area of mature rhododendrons in a day with no problems (albeit with several batteries as I’ve bought into the Bosch 18v ecosystem)

Brilliant little saw ideal for pruning

Great piece of kit! First point - I removed the tip guard (see pic). Anyone removing safety equipment clearly does so at their own risk and I'm not recommending it, but it is easy for a competent DIYer (just drill out the soft metal rivets) and the resulting tool is hugely functional. Used with two hands I think it very safe anyway - although the handguard isn't linked to the brake, the saw doesn't have much of a kick and stops instantly when you release the trigger. It's light and easy to wield even at your feet or above your head - much more so than a full size chainsaw - and the resulting 8" blade is great both for proper cutting (>8" fenceposts and logs) and cutting a path through dense rhododendrons. The 2.0 Ah battery lasts me an hour of intermittent use when brush cutting, but you want a spare. I have one from my Bosch PSA 18 LI 18v sabre saw which I like but the chainsaw is far more usable. I only use the sabre saw now where access is tricky and only its long narrow blade can get in there. I've owned the UniversalChain 6 mths and no problems so far - It feels well made and robust, like the Bosch green kit generally is. Enjoy.

Brilliant and easy to use! Thank you

Very good product easy to use very satisfied

So far so good.all works fine

Compact, neat and efficient. It works well but is borderline on some things; patio, decking. Takes a number of runs and a fair bit of time for these areas. Could do with a bit more power to be up there with the best
