About CRAFTSMAN 42cc-16 (2020 Model) S165 42cc Full Crank 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw-16-Inch Bar and Automatic Chain
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
69% liked the safety features
The chainsaw has a perfectly functioning chain brake safety.
69% found it easy to maneuver
I can handle the chainsaw easily, even though I am a female.
The chainsaw is not too heavy for me to use for long periods of time.
70% were satisfied with the chain type and sharpness, but 30% weren't
The chainsaw's chain is razor sharp and adjusted perfectly.
When I used the chainsaw on larger diameter trunks, the blade softened and became a powder maker instead of a wood cutter. It is unclear whether it overheated or hit a rock. The engine, on the other hand, continued to run smoothly.
73% liked the engine power, however 27% raised concerns
The chainsaw's engine revs quickly and is not too loud for a 2 cycle chain saw. It cuts beautifully and has plenty of power for home owner wood cutting tasks.
I gave the chainsaw 4 stars for its power. If I try to speed up the cutting process, it will bog down or bind up. However, using proper cutting technique, it works like a champ.
I wish for more power when cutting 14” trees, but it still cuts well.
When I used the chainsaw on larger diameter trunks, the blade became a powder maker instead of a wood cutter. This could be due to overheating or hitting a rock. However, the engine still ran fine.
