Mini Chainsaw for Pruning tree branches and shrubs, cutting up firewood, garden waste and general wood. - The BSC Brand A 175 is essentially a 12V mini chainsaw sporting a 4-inch bar for pruning work. - Its 12V battery power source is very similar to other stick pack batteries such as Milwaukee’s M12 line. - Unlike most chainsaws we come across, there’s no auto-oiling on this model. Instead, you need to manually apply oil to it every few cuts. - As you cut, a protective guard over the top of the chain glides up and springs back into place once the bar is clear. - The overall design is reminiscent of a one-hand reciprocating saw. However, we recommends you cut with two hands to reduce injury risk. That said, it is controllable with one hand and the handle shape feels comfortable in the hand. - In practice, the A 175 cuts very well and it’s certainly much easier to use on 3-inch branches than even a 12-inch chainsaw. It’s also just plain fun to use. - LED light display provides the charge level and status of the tool. With a battery, charger, multi-oil, and even a transport bag, the A 175 set comes with everything users need to take on a variety of landscaping tasks.
