I have a number of trees in my garden and need to continually cut the branches back to allow light into my garden. Previously I using an hand saw with took me a vast amount of time. I wanted to speed up the process of maintain trees and so opted for a chainsaw.

I did not want to break the bank so looked at the cheaper options available. This is when I came across the Einhell Chainsaw for just £50 (I think it was reduced from £75) from DIYStores.co.uk. To me this was a great price especial as it was available at Amazon for £71.99.

To be honest my purchase was based purely on price. When the chainsaw arrived I was impressed by the size of the blade. It was 40 cm which is large. The usually size for home chainsaws is 35cm. The blade was sturdy and well attached to the machine without any flexing.

I plugged the machine in a got to work taking on a few small trees. The machine is very powerful and easily cut through the trees in an impressively quick time. The machine roars (like all chainsaws should do) so I would not advise using early in the morning as your neighbours may become peeved.

The machine is safe to use as when you release the power the blade becomes instantly still. The chainsaw is electrically powered and comes with a cable to plug into a socket. The cable is a bit short for my garden but an extension cable easily rectifies this problem.

The chainsaw is easy to use (and I am a simpleton when It comes to things like this). All you have to do us plug it in, pull down the power and press the connection button, then you are off.

It is a great chainsaw that serves me well every time I take on my ever growing trees.
