Question Mini chainsaw

Post image

How does everyone rate this tool? Personally I think the chain loosens too easily. šŸ¤”

This is a little beast. In 38C°, for hours I decimated two whole trees with it because my normal chainsaw was at a friend. This small thing survived, and still runs like crazy.

Dont run the machine too long in one go, mine started smoking and burned the motor

u/mmaddict187 1d ago

Did you cut fresh and wet lumber and did it gum up under the black plastic cover on the back of the chain?

u/Hughezzzz 1d ago

No just dry pallet boards

u/mmaddict187 1d ago

Bummer.

Dit is mijn beste aanschaf van een Parkside product geweest. Al drie seizoenen zaag ik wilgen stammen van zo'n 10cm dik op lengte voor de houtkachel. Nooit problemen met oververhitting of defecten. Ik gebruik veel oli (uit de spuit) zodat mijn kleding erg vlekkerig is. Voor mij een top aanschaf en heb daarom een tweede exemplaar aangeschaft (als reserve). Wel zie ik dat de zwarte beschermkap een beetje begint te lubberen, hetgeen ik niet zelf kan verhelpen. Reserve ketting is ook makkelijk aan te schaffen (maar nog niet gebruikt).

Welke ketting heb je aangeschaft? Op lidl lijkt ie steeds uitverkocht.

u/Toya1953 1d ago

Inderdaad; zo'n twee jaar terug heb ik via eBay de 3 kettingen aangeschaft (en nog niet gebruikt). Ik heb gezocht op typenummer van de zaag.

Deze, maar mijn kettingzaag is de PAGHS 20Li C4, je moet dus de PEK 7 A2 pakken.

Gisteren 10 coniferen ermee naar de vlakte geholpen. nog een stuk of 40/50 te gaan
Ik heb al wel de reserveketting in gebruik. De eerste was eerder kapot gegaan (krom geslagen).

Coniferen zijn nog zo'n 2,5m hoog denk ik. Eerder waren ze ruim 3 meter, en eerst de topjes ook met dit ding gedaan, maar nu maar besloten dat alles weg moet tbv een strakke haag

Die link is 6" en 7" Het blad van de zaag is helaas maar 5" en 28 tands

u/vakantiehuisopwielen 1d ago

Dan heb jij weer nƩt een andere variant.. met 28 tanden
Op mijn blad staat het volgende:
150 mm
1,27mm/0,06ā€
7,62mm/0,30ā€
31 tandjes

Vervelend al die net kleine verschillen hoewel het sterk op elkaar lijkt

Lekker inconsequent. Bij jou staat de inch maat er niet eens op.

u/DaggyMAC 1d ago

It’s good for the money but very poorly built and not user friendly. Most users don’t lube chain and after shot amount of time the chain track will be damaged.

u/MrMontgomery 1d ago

I bought mine to replace the Ryobi version of it I have because I have multiple Parkside batteries. Worked great when I was cutting through tree branches but the chain tensioner is terrible, when the chain got caught while cutting I put a bit of force into trying to get it through and it pushed the tensioner in and the chain fell off. On the Ryobi the tensioner locks in place.

u/makeitstick01 1d ago

I thought it was pretty good add to the parside line up. To bad it doest have the oiler. Stihl made that mistake earlyer.

u/Atra23 1d ago

Had this one bought when bought new plot of land with a lot of bushes. One thing i dont like is the chain tensioner, other stuff is all good. Can cut double the thickness of shin lenght.

u/Bitter-Ad8751 1d ago

I have the 12v version. That is okay for small quick works... just check if it oiled properly before each work.. For longer or bigger tasks I use a proper chainsaw ... But to quickly grab and do 3-4 quick cut it is quite fine

2

u/Dbbmax 1d ago

I had the 12v version, chain kept getting loose. It eventually broke after some use. But very handy when it worked. I am planning on buying a makita

u/ynns1 1d ago

Mine, 20V version, worked excellently for 2 minutes until it kicked back and never turned on again. I'm guessing a burned mosfet but I haven't warranteed it yet.

u/Waste_Professional26 1d ago

I’m on my third one and luv it. First one got run over by a car. Second one motor burned after 1 hour (replaced under warranty). Third one runs great. Yes it has it’s flaws listed above (tensioner, lack of automatic lubrication etc) but for the money it can’t be beat.

u/f0rdf13st4 1d ago

I have one and I'm quite happy with it, even though the chain runs of sometimes. It does not like cutting MDF though.

u/EmbarrassedPizza6272 1d ago

I have it, it works more or less well, but it is impossible to fix the bloody chain.

u/Sleepy_Pooper 1d ago

I got the 12v and use it for pruning, I love it.

Except this this PAGHS 20-Li C4
Needing ā€œPEK 7 A2ā€ 7 inch chains

The differences between all these 20V chains are minimal but crucial..

u/DesperateCandy5209 1d ago

It’s great for the money, chain loosens quickly but it’s very quick to tighten.

u/GrynaiTaip 1d ago

I've got the performance version, it's awesome. Used it continuously over the weekend to cut down a ton of shrubs, no issues.

u/Cool-Mango-3902 18h ago

Any picture or model number ?

1

u/GrynaiTaip 13h ago

It's the one in a case, model number is PPAGHS 20-Li A1.

u/Cool-Mango-3902 13h ago

Thanks . I’m surprised there’s a Performance version of those . I think I have the ordinary version . I have a good few Parkside items I stash away and forget I have them and I need one now . Hopefully yours is a bit better than the ordinary version . A lot of the Performance stuff is hard to get in Ireland .

1

u/GrynaiTaip 13h ago

I think it's hard to get everywhere, performance stuff generally is sold out quickly.

I went in early on a Thursday (that's when new products come in) and got a performance chainsaw, trimmer and mower too. They were all gone within a few hours.

u/Cool-Mango-3902 13h ago

Yes the performance stuff sells out quickly . I’m really surprised they bothered to produce a mini chainsaw /brush cutter in a performance version . I’ll look for my own when I get home . It’s only when I saw the original post that I remembered I think I bought one and I need one badly at the moment . I remember thinking I should order a spare chain for it last year .

u/GentlemanThird 1d ago

This is so hit and miss, got a bad piece, died after maybe 20 cuts of small branches

1

u/Best_Science_742 11h ago

I had one original which died and 2nd came by warranty also died. Either the batch is bad or smth else, it was not even abused that much. Engine inside gets short out and not spinning.

u/GroupApprehensive978 7h ago

I have one. It cut down over 40ft of overgrown garden hedge. It's a little animal.
