I have a little chainsaw much like this one, although it came straight from China via the big river and not from HS. Can vouch for the writeup sentiment, it’s not heavy duty but it’s pretty damn useful for pruning little stuff.
If you spend the extra (currently $10) bucks at HS directly, you get a lifetime satisfaction guarantee… But what the normal life of a baby chainsaw or circular saw is is not defined, so YMMV.
In related news, I made my first Hammacher Schlemmer purchase today.
Looks like you need to manually oil the chainsaw chain. More serious saws have a reservoir but they also leak if you don’t pour it out when you’re done.
I’ve got a couple similar to these mini chainsaws. Definitely useful (as long as battery is charged when you decide to fetch it). Yes, frequent manual oiling is required. Also frequent retensioning of the chain to keep it on the sprocket. But would still buy another if lost mine.
WARNING! These are not toys. Replacements fingers not included.
Got a similar mini chainsaw from the the jungle website for the RV about two years ago. The idea was if it worked out and lasted a trip or two I’d replace it with a “real” one but it’s still going strong (and it’s used A LOT). It’s definitely not a Milwaukee but for what it is, it does great job at a tenth of the price. Just a few drops of oil and adjust the chain before use and good to go.
It’s always fun at campgrounds hearing others chopping away at firewood with axes while I’m already enjoying the campfire after only a few minutes of quietly cutting with the little mini chainsaw.

Standards have indeed fallen at Ham/Shlem…
I don’t think these would qualify as THE mini chainsaw or THE mini circular saw…
No poll today? I won’t make a pun about one of the saws cutting the pole.

If it ever dies, I will definitely get another.
@BioBill here is your chance, you know that they will be gone soon.
I picked this up the last time it came around. Works for pruning and cutting up branches, at least.
I got this last time and I appreciate the chain saw, but the circular saw is not good at all. It burns the wood for any cut past a quarter inch.
