Negative Positive
Title: Negative!
Review: I bought this tool 2-3 years ago, unsure of whether I really needed a chainsaw long term. As I have trees on my lot and feed a woodstove, I have found the tool indespensible. However, I am not at all happy with Remington's version of a chainsaw. The positive, and the negative, is simply: this tool is cheap. I liked the fact that it is quiet and emits no pollution at the point of use. The power was always acceptable. The problem comes at the point when you (inevitably) need to adjust the tension in the chain. The tensioner is worthy of a matchbox car, not a power tool. The adjuster travels a plastic track, based on your turning of a thumbscrew. The mechanism bent at first stress, and works no more. Too bad, as the motor and chain are still as good as ever. As they say, the bitterness of low quality lasts longer than the sweetness of a low price. This function could have been more robust. The tool is worth less without it. Spend the extra money to get a real tool.
