SKIL PWR CORE Brushless 40V 12-inch Chain Saw , Tool-Less Chain Tensioning, 2.0Ah Battery and Charger, TH1200C-11

Worked excellent for what I needed it for. Went through 6-8 branches quick and easy. Battery lasted about 30 minutes before it started to sip. I recommend this highly for smaller yard jobs , maybe not if you're going to do some logging but worked great for me.

This chainsaw is the best for small maintenance around the yard! Perfect for trimming scrubs or little branches on trees! Love how it runs on battery and lasts a long while. Easy to move around as it's small and light weight. Had a really smooth cut and didn't overly vibrate my hands.

Surprisingly easy to use and feels lightweight without lacking power. It handled small branches and yard cleanup really well, and I love that it starts instantly with no gas or complicated setup. The battery life held up nicely for basic outdoor projects, and the top handle design made it comfortable to maneuver. Overall, it feels like a great option for homeowners who want something convenient, reliable, and easy to store.

Absolutely awesome ! This is lightweight and easy to use. Perfect for smaller cuts but it does do an 8-10" log! It's easy to maintain, I just use vegetable oil. The battery charges pretty fast considering . It doesn't vibrate and shake too badly when doing smaller stuff. This is perfect for most around the yard work needed.

This chainsaw is powerful and lightweight. Its effective and gets any cutting done. I was able to cut down a mesquite tree without the job being too laborious thanks to this chainsaw. It charges quickly and is very quiet compared to other chainsaws that I have used.

The Skil PowerCore 40 Top Handle Chainsaw was incredibly easy to use right out of the box. It's lightweight and well-balanced, which made handling and maneuvering much more comfortable, especially for longer jobs. The battery charged quickly and lasted more than long enough to get everything done without needing a recharge. I was also impressed with how reliable and powerful it felt for a compact cordless saw—it cut smoothly and consistently with no issues. Great option for anyone wanting a dependable, user-friendly chainsaw.

My use these days is mainly pruning and cleanup. For those uses this is the handiest saw I’ve owned. Powerful and lightweight. Battery life is not an issue, but then I do have a second battery.

Super happy with this chain saw! It's compact and lightweight, so it doesn't tire me out. Also, the smooth cuts are just what I needed for my yard work. 😄

The SKIL PWR Core 40 40V 12 in top handle chain saw kit is just what you need to get small limbs out of the way. Don't expect to cut down a tree, it is meant for the little things around your yard. The noise is what you would expect of a chain saw cutting thru hardiness items. It did smoke when you continue non stop cutting an item so I would suggest doing 10-20 seconds at a time and letting it breath for a second or two. You do need to charge it, the battery life is pretty good size for the tool and should give you ample time to complete any task around your yard. It is relatively light weight (including battery attached).

Using this saw is straightforward. The tool-free tensioning is a real time saver. It's light enough, but rly wish the handle was a bit more comfortable.
