Compare this chainsaw to the others that I tested and you’ll see that it’s one of the most expensive. However, for what you’re paying, you’re getting a fantastic machine that’s not only suitable for light garden work, but can also be used for heavy-duty tasks. That said, as I mentioned earlier, this chainsaw is very similar to the P1PE that I tested. If you’re on a tight budget, then the P1PE, or even the ParkerBrand, is the one I’d recommend. However, if you’re willing to spend just a little bit more on a reliable and trustworthy brand, then the Hyundai is more than worth it. The automatic lubrication system ensures that the chain is always lubricated while in use to minimise on downtime and keep the chain in good health. Petrol powered chainsaws are usually the heaviest of the 3 types, but this doesn’t mean they need to be hard to use. A shoulder strap will help to lighten the load while you work, and the right handle can also make a huge difference. Handle Comfort and Ergonomics In terms of performance, this Einhell chainsaw shines. It starts easily and was able to slice through everything that I asked it to. Due to the length of the bar, the maximum trunk diameter that I used this chainsaw on was around 80 cm (32”), and it cut through those without any problems. If you have larger trees that need to be cut, then you’ll need a larger chainsaw, but, for the average home user, this one should be able to handle everything that you need it to.

Not familiar with the P1PE brand? Neither was I, until I tried their impressive 62cc Petrol Chainsaw. Turns out, P1PE, which is short for Position One Power Equipment, is well-acquainted with producing power tools and garden machinery, with all of them being powered by Hyundai engines. So, having recently tested out Hyundai’s 62cc petrol chainsaw, I was curious to see how this lower-priced alternative would compare. It’s aimed at people who need to carry out both small clearance jobs as well as heavy-duty tree felling, making it seem like the ideal machine to help me tidy up all of the damage that Storm Arwen had caused around my farm. Arrived within a few days. Took 5 minutes to put together just added petrol and oil it started within 3 pulls. Very pleased seems to be well built. The minimal assembly required for this chainsaw left me impressed right from the start. It only took about ten minutes in total to fit the bar and chain on, and then another few minutes to pour in fuel and oil. The fact that ParkerBrand has included a comprehensive tool kit with this machine makes the assembly process much faster. It surprised me to see how similar this chainsaw was to the Hyundai machine that I also reviewed, especially when you take the big price difference into account. This one costs quite a bit less, with the only real difference being that it doesn’t have a decompression button, which the Hyundai does. Is a decompression button worth paying the extra money for? In my opinion, no, which is why this machine really does offer amazing value for money. The fact that it comes with two chains, a carry bag, maintenance tools, and a two year manufacturer’s warranty adds to its value even more. Fortunately I stumbled across this online on sale. Thought I'd take a punt and was not dissapointed.Excellent quality product supplied with two saw chains, easy to assemble started after three attempts

Most petrol chainsaws will be designed with a comfortable, grippy handle. You should also look for anti vibration to minimise discomfort. Fitness to Operate a Petrol Chainsaw

This chainsaw comes in at a pretty low price, especially when you compare it to some of the other options out there. However, Einhell is known for producing quality tools at affordable prices, so a budget-friendly cost is expected from the brand. The fact that this chainsaw is more than capable of carrying out the majority of tasks needed by the average home user, coupled with its high-quality Oregon bar and chain, makes it great value for money. My first impression of this bright orange chainsaw was that it looked like a very solid and professional piece of kit. One of the first things that stood out was the big “powered by Hyundai” text splashed across the bar. This then made me compare the two machines side by side, after which I realised that, in terms of design, the two are almost identical. The P1PE chainsaw has the same shape and style as the Hyundai, along with the same primer bubble, choke button, and 20” bar . Both also come with a canvas holdall-style carry bag, which is ideal for people like me who often take a chainsaw to various locations. Bought this for my husband his old one as died, for the money, fabulous, does the job very pleased with it Finally, it’s worth mentioning that, when you pull the trigger, the choke automatically comes off, which prevents you from flooding the engine. Although not a safety feature related to the user, this does help to keep the engine safe, therefore prolonging the lifespan of the machine.
