The Kraft chainsaw operates with a 21-volt battery, does not produce exhaust fumes, and allows you to move freely as it is not dependent on cables and sockets. The working duration depends on the battery and how charged it is. With a weight of kilograms and a bar length of 18cm, it is ideal for tree pruning and wood carving.

It's worth every euro of its purchase. I cut everything from branches to small trunks with a diameter of 15 centimeters. No difficulty at all. The battery lasts and endures. After 3 hours of continuous use, it still held up. The downside is that when cutting thin branches with pruning shears, you feel intense vibrations. So, you have to chop them on the trunk. If you cut the branch and then try to cut it into smaller pieces, then there's an issue. I highly recommend it.
Very good product, I have had it for a year already. It does a great job without the noise of a chainsaw. It easily handles branches up to 15 centimeters (and even more if needed), so no problem with garden trees, etc. This year I tried it in the field with the olive trees to chop the branches for the fireplace, and it handled them easily.
The battery lasts for 3 hours of work for sure, so for the work I need it for, a second one is not necessary...
The instructions say that the chain needs to be lubricated before each cut by pressing the button, but this is simple and easy.
Overall, I am satisfied for amateur use, it is definitely worth it.
I will also share my opinion about the battery-powered chainsaw from Kraft with its 20cm blade. I have used it for two days, pruning olive and almond trees, and cutting trunks of pine and almond trees (the largest being 20 centimeters in diameter). It did not get stuck anywhere, it is quite maneuverable. I cut everything I needed with ease. After every long break, I sharpened the chain for better performance. Be careful to always have oil in the reservoir. I have been using a gasoline chainsaw for years, but this one is much easier to use, especially for high branches, due to its lightweight. I would highly recommend it. I avoided buying a cheaper no-name Chinese one. Okay, the battery lasted for an hour and a half of use (not continuous) and it still had another line on the indicator before it completely discharged (3 lines).
It is relatively lightweight and the battery lasts quite a long time, but it is better to charge it when it falls below half because if it gets too low, it stops working. If you don't use it for a few minutes, it shuts off and you have to press the power button again. In order to see how charged the battery is, it needs to be placed in the tool.
What is written in the description about the LCD battery indicator is not true.
I agree with what george t wrote! Although I bought it for olives. Also, I am quite a beginner!
Of course, you need to have a gasoline chainsaw (we have an echo) around for thick branches for faster cutting. It is user-friendly, quite safe with the necessary attention of the operator always, but it can be a bit tiring due to its weight, not to a great extent of course. Definitely, after a full day of pruning, you realize that you used it!!! It tired my wrist when I used it!
The chain needs to be checked to see if it is lubricated and also to make sure it is in the right position. I would suggest lifting the chain and if there are more than 3 visible teeth, then it needs tightening! I also didn't understand if the chain is lubricated too much or too little, and of course, the bubble had oil inside. Although it was not necessary, I pressed it occasionally out of insecurity!
The chain came off twice, but it is very easy to put it back in place if you unscrew the cap (a screw). (the screwdriver inside the box is double-sided, it comes out of its base and becomes a crosshead).
The batteries charge together, but it takes several hours, it also suggests one by one if you want it a bit faster! With another person pruning simultaneously with the gasoline chainsaw, it lasted me a day of work and there was still one-third (1/3) of energy left in the second battery.
I believe it is worth its money!
After 1 day of use for pruning almond trees (6 years old), I have the following to say:
Positives:
1) Compared to a larger gasoline chainsaw, it is incomparable.. By far better for this job.. You don't even need the scissors for the small branches..
2) The 1 battery 4.0Ah lasted for over 3 hours of continuous use, even though the branches were mainly small..
3) Sometimes it has vibrations, but for me it mainly depends on the branch..
4) For its size, it has very good rotations and doesn't get stuck anywhere..
Negatives:
1) I'm not sure how well it lubricates the chain on its own.. When I check it, sometimes I see some signs of oil and sometimes not.. When I press the bulb, it seems to be lubricating properly, but I'm still not sure if I need to press the oil bulb somewhere or if it does it on its own.. Time will tell..
As a first impression, it seemed very good to me (I haven't tried any other battery chainsaw).
I bought it for cutting dry wood for the stove and I am very satisfied!!! I cannot say anything about its durability over time because I have used it very little, but compared to other fifty-euro ones, it is in a completely different league, it is superior. I had bought one for fifty euros and honestly, I wasted my money until I bought this tool and calmed down. It has a very good chain speed (11 motors and 7.4 meters per second chain) the measurements have been made at the dealership and they are absolutely accurate. So, with 7.4 on the chain and with the power of its brushless motor, it is perfect for cutting dry wood for the stove (dry wood is harder than green wood) the cutting is very good, it has not jammed on me, the batteries are quite good in terms of duration and overall I believe it is worth its money and I do not regret buying it at all. The only thing left is to see its durability over time.
I just received it. When we say "just," we mean JUST!
I only saw that it works and (most importantly for me), its batteries fit in the Kraft pruner I have. See photo.
They are the same, fortunately. I will be able to work with the saw for more hours.
The 5 stars are clear because I was happy about the batteries and didn't question the previous reviews. (At first glance, it seems like a sturdy tool - a bit heavy if you use it continuously).
I will return after using it to a degree where I can leave a proper review!
Very good and sturdy construction, from the very short period of time that I have it (I received it the day before yesterday) it seems very good. It will show in the future.....
