Life on the off-grid homestead sure is tough, but it's a lot easier when you have the right tools
for the job. You've been watching me clear all this off so that I can enjoy this phenomenal view
when I get the tiny house built, however, you don't always need a monster chainsaw
to do a small job it's important to have the right tools for the job but, will this
tiny battery-operated chainsaw actually do some work? We're about to find out.
All right, so my new chainsaw from Amazon just came in and I’m
really excited to try this thing out so let's take a look and see what we have.
With everything intact it's lightweight but it feels solid.
All right now this is great now you're probably already wondering, this is a portable
chainsaw and you know it's not meant for cutting down big trees you want to have the
right tool for the right job I love that it comes in this handy case that way I can put
everything up and I can find everything when I need it the next time I need to use it.
All right we got our instructions everything that we need to know about it before we start using it.
Now, this is great, now this is lightweight it's only about 2.2 pounds so it's kind of rated for
cutting you know trees about six inches around hey we're going to put it to the test and find
out now, what I really like about this already it has an automatic oiler now obviously we need
to fill this thing up with oil before you use it, most important thing you need to know about
cutting with a chainsaw is you've got to keep that chainsaw oiled, with an automatic oiler you don't
have to remember about pressing squirting it's automatically oiled which is going to make sure
that when you're cutting your chain doesn't wear out and it stays sharp. We immediately
have safety glasses that come with it that's great I don't have to go buy any got some here.
Now, this thing comes with two and I’m talking about two
powerful 21-volt batteries I like that already with the adapter.
Now, got a little toolset right here so, I’ve got a little brush help keep everything clean
whenever it's time to actually do any kind of maintenance it does come with an extra chain
now that's great I don't have to go and try to find one or buy one I already have one included.
Now, I’ve got this handy wrench and I’ve got this multi-purpose tool it's got a fill up on one end
standard screwdriver on the other you're going to need both of these when it's time
to adjust the chain and the tension on your chainsaw, it's important to know every chainsaw
brand new even used once you start using it once you notice that that chainsaw is
getting loose it's always best to take time to tighten your chainsaw, don't want it too tight
not too loose I’ll do another video showing how easy it is to do that.
Included is a file now that's perfect okay
because you have to have the right size file when it comes time to sharpening your blade.
And there's a nice little guard here so there's a guard that you can install on there
of course we've got to install it properly and that way you know there's no mistake and
a big chainsaw you can have some kickback well, this way you've got a guard there you're safe.
So, right now it looks like we have everything that we need now, what I do like about this,
and one of the reasons I got it is that on the listing it says that it's brushless and that's
important for me because I don't have to worry about something wearing out, so it's brushless,
it's got an automatic oiler on there very important, and it's got some very powerful
21-volt lithium batteries the listing says should last 50 to 60 minutes of continuous cutting. Hey,
we're going to charge these up and then we're going to come back in a few minutes and we're
going to put it to the test we're going to go and clear some stuff now remember
ideally this is not meant for cutting big trees it's meant really for you're going camping you're
going to cut some firewood or you know you're going to cut and do some clearing of just some
small brush, we're going to find out how well it stands up to the test so I’m already excited
about this it really does look good I mean it's it's lightweight 2.2 pounds but it feels solid,
so in just a little while we're going to come back and give it a try. While I’m waiting for the
batteries to charge I went ahead and assembled my chainsaw now, I read the instructions thoroughly
okay and I’m glad that I did always important to read the instructions because I told you not
to cut more than a six inch tree well, I assume because the listing said is six inch well, it's
a six inch blade okay reading the instructions it says don't cut more than a four inch tree so
it's important you know that, now also I installed the guard right here and the guard is great now,
keep in mind I didn't find anywhere the instructions on how to assemble the guard
but it's easy doesn't take a rocket scientist it's one little screw that goes there and there's a
little bag here that has two screws in it in case you drop it or lose one put the screw in there,
use the tool that's enclosed be careful not to over tighten because it is plastic so
I’ve assembled it now, also I put oil in here very important to put oil so so far I like what I have,
so far it's been all pros one con so far the only thing that I don't like
is that hey this is so small it was very difficult for me to find a funnel now,
I did eventually find a funnel but it was difficult it would be great,
and this is just a bonus but it would be great if a small funnel was already included
in the kit now that would be awesome because I’d have the perfect funnel that would fit in here
I found this one didn't quite fit but hey I got all in here now the important thing, when you
do put oil in here you have to first prime it with that priming bulb so you can see that it's
full okay, and when you first start you'll have it full and then you'll start pumping and you'll see
that oil going through the tube okay, and once you have the bulb full then you can refill this
because it will use a little bit but now we want to make sure is it working properly take
a little bit of cardboard or a piece of paper hold your chainsaw close to it and let's take a look.
You can see it's slinging the oil onto your cardboard chainsaw is working great and it's got
an automatic oiler on there so you shouldn't have to keep pressing that bulb, you should be able to
start cutting trees now, we can't start now I got the battery charging and it does have a little
charge, but I want it to be fully charged so we can put it to the test. While I was charging this
I looked all over now I did read the instructions it says there's an indicator light and I’ll begin
to worry because I could not find the indicator light anywhere on here well, took a little bit
longer but there it is the indicator light is on the adapter itself when plugged in, so red it's
still charging, and when it turns green it's ready so I wanted to be sure to mention that because
well it kind of threw me for a loop because most batteries indicator light is on the battery,
but no big deal at least now you know where to find it. Got my batteries all charged up really
I think it only took a couple hours for each battery, so I’m excited and I’m ready to try out
our new brushless electric automatic oil in mini chainsaw, so this is going to be really neat.
All right now, before we get started wait wait wait wait wait big app I told you if you're gone
if I’m gonna help you produce these movies you got to give them some more information hey, I’m RNCJ
and you know these are some words of wisdom okay, for every job that you go to you got to
know these three things right here okay. Now, number one when you go to the job you need to
be prepared you need to know everything about the job, and you got to be prepared to do it,
number two see two, two you gotta make sure you got the right tools for the job, you don't wanna
go to the job what a big old sledgehammer and all you gotta do is put up a tiny little finishing now
sometimes if I’m in a hurry I just grab a butter knife and I use the other end of the butter knife
tap tap tap tap and I’m done. Now, where'd I leave off that that's right two and one cut r n c j.
So you gotta know these three things for the job. Now, number one
you gotta know everything about the job, you gotta make sure that you're prepared for the job,
know the job so that you can do the job, and number two see two,
two number two, you got to have the right tools for the job, you don't wanna go out to the job
but a big old sledgehammer and you're putting up a little finishing now, now big house said
I can't tell you that tip I told you but if I hope you caught it the first time anyway,
you got to have the right tools for the job, and most importantly number one is safety you want to
make sure you're prepared because you never know something jump up up poke in the eye so, make sure
that you're safe when you get ready to do the job now, that's your words of wisdom from RNCJ.
Before we get started just kind of let you know you've been watching and my tiny house
is going to be right here and I want to enjoy the view that I have down there and that's the
reason we've been doing all of this clearing well, I’ve got some of these trees right here
and they are some pretty trees, however, there's too many of them and since there's too many of
them well they're kind of starving themselves you see I need to actually call or I need to
uh cut a few of them down so that the other ones will thrive you see there's a tree that's
similar to this over here and it's beautiful because it's not crowded by the other trees
so, I need to thin some of these out a little bit that's what we're gonna do today these are
some small trees which is gonna be a good thing to test out our new chainsaw, so we're gonna
thin out some trees and that's gonna help the other trees that are there to really
thrive, so that's what we're gonna do so hey let's just go ahead and get after it.
Wow this chainsaw is pretty powerful but, take a look you see it's brand new and you see
but every new chainsaw will do that see it's loose
so now we have an unsafe environment so I need to take a moment I’m going to tighten that chain
and then we're going to start seeing how long will this battery last.
All right that didn't take but just a second and you chain
whenever you pull on the chain just a little bit there you go
you want to have that little bit of tiny slack right there you don't want it to be too tight.
Great, let's go see if we can cut up some trees.
All right it only took me just a few minutes and I got a nice pile of firewood right here so,
I can see how this mini chainsaw would be perfect if I’m going camping you know I
want to head out to the beach or something and I want to cut some firewood there's
always some dry wood somewhere and you know it's a pain trying to break it taking a machete well,
with this I break it out of the case I can quickly cut it all up and I don't have to bring
big containers of gas all I need is just a little bit of oil and wow I can really have a great time
and have a campfire so I’m really loving this already let's get back after it.
All right I have to admit, this cordless battery operated mini chainsaw
packs a powerful punch, I would not have expected that from a battery-operated saw,
but with two powerful 21-volt batteries and look I cut up that whole pile of trees
in just a few minutes and it didn't let up so, I’m impressed I really like this chainsaw
and I put it to the test I think you know some of these trees was a little bit more than four inches
but follow the guide, and do what you're supposed to do because this is a tool that I can't wait to
carry with me when I’m going anywhere where I need to do a little bit of clearing up a brush making
poles for my garden anything I need I believe this chainsaw is the right tool for the job.
