KIMO Cordless Mini Chainsaw: Battery Powered with 2.0Ah Rechargeable Battery & Fast Charger, Lightweight & One-Handed Electric Chainsaw (3.1Lbs)

James: This is an excellent product, and I wish I had one a long time ago. After some time, though, the battery failed. However, Kimo was very supportive and provided a replacement battery very promptly. My experience with their customer service has been phenomenal. I highly recommend their products based on their support. I will be purchasing more Kimo products, and have encouraged family members to do so also!

JeremyJeremy: I recently purchased the KIMO 6-inch mini chainsaw cordless for some much-needed yard work. I have a small but growing collection of KIMO tools, so when I started looking for a cutting tool, I wanted to stick with the same brand. Not only are they great value and work very well, but the batteries can be shared between all tools. As someone who doesn't have a lot of experience with powered cutting tools, I was nervous about using a full-sized chainsaw. However, I found this smaller version to be extremely helpful and easy to use.

What I loved about this chainsaw is its lightweight and portable design, weighing just a bit over 2 lbs and measuring less than 1.5 feet. This made it perfect for getting into hard-to-reach places and especially for ladder work, where a large gas chainsaw would be difficult to carry and start.

This mini chainsaw is also very efficient. I was able to run it for about 30 minutes, providing plenty of cutting time. It was also straightforward to install, with only one screw needed to adjust chain tension. I thought it would be way more complex than it actually, which is a relief. Even though I'm a beginner, I had no problem using it, and it made...

Desert Bill: I purchased a larger, gasoline chainsaw when I lived on a large lot. I since moved to a patio home with only a half dozen larger bushes and trees. At this point, a smaller, electric chainsaw appeared to be a more appropriate tool.

I had assumed it would arrive with “some assembly required.” I was happy to find it came ready to use right out of the box, after just applying some lubricating oil. It is compact, lightweight and sturdy. It is comfortable to hold, and nicely balanced.

Given my smaller yard, over the last few years I have converted from gasoline or electric devices powered by a long extension cord. Previously had I purchased a Kimo blower, and hedge trimmer. They were very good so I thought I'd try this one. No more bulky extension cords, which I occasionally slice with the trimmer. They are so much more convenient to grab and use versus the old-fashioned way.

This chainsaw fits into that category. It makes yard maintenance so much easier and faster. I will now be disposing of my smelly, bulky gasoline chainsaw, now that I don’t have large jobs to tackle. Although, if i had been aware of the Kimo chainsaw, I would have bought it sooner and used...

Rahul A.: I bought this to prune some bushes and shrubs, and it works great. It easily cuts through branches up to a diameter of 4-5 inches, and is light enough to operate with one hand. The battery holds a decent charge, and will last for most major jobs.

The only negatives are that the instruction manual indicates you need to oil the chain after 3 minutes of use, which can get annoying (and messy) if you’re doing a big job. Also, if you’re located internationally, do note that the charger is 110V so you’ll need to get a voltage adapter (it’s a 55W charger).

However, the main issue I faced was that the SAFETY DOES NOT WORK! The chain moves if I press the trigger without pressing the safety, which is a huge design flaw and a safety issue. Granted, the chain doesn’t move at full speed - but still fast enough to do some serious damage.

RJC: Not a bad little saw. I was a little put off that it didn't have an automatic oiler system but adding a couple of drops of oil to the chain with the provided bottle wasn't as big a nuisance as I thought it would be. The chain tensioning method is easy to do. One gripe is that the power lock button is a bit difficult to use with leather gloves on but that may just be me. The other gripe is that the little protective bar at top of blade sometimes interferes with up cuts.

Cuts well. Used it to prune the bottom branches on some small spruce trees in the yard and it zipped through them fine. Did six all together and still had plenty of battery power left. Also, to see if it could be useful in my wood shop, I tried it on a piece of 3 x 6 red oak scrap and it cut through that just fine in about 15 seconds so I'll definitely be using it to rough cut large boards into more manageable pieces rather than my miter saw.

Henry: Wanted a small chainsaw to do trimming of branches and to shorten some previously cut firewood that was too long for our smaller fireplace. Looked at many small chainsaws on Amazon and decided on the KIMO based on reviews (mostly of their other power tools). It works GREAT! It exceeded my expectations. The chain is good quality and cut right thru seasoned firewood like a champ! The saw is light and nimble, easy to use, and the battery lasts long enough to do what I want. My only gripe, if I were to change anything, is the trigger safety could be improved (easier to push and better location). But that’s just my opinion. It may work fine for other people. Overall a great saw for the price!
