I have a vintage WEN tool when they still manufactured in the USA. It's constructed of classic polished aluminum and a beauty.Fast forward to today- this WEN tool feels like all around plastic, made in China, but a BEAST!I have sliced up to 12" diameter logs of both pecan and mulberry. I could barely feel the difference in density and time it took between the two types of wood.The chain didn't slip once! I made sure to tighten the chain according to the manual (because yes, it was my first time using one but this may be standard or universal)You can see from my photos that I was able to cut through with one pass without rotating the log to cut from the other side.Since it was my first time, I had my father give me a quick run down on tips, tricks, and how not to lose an extremity.I also asked him to test it out for a comparative opinion up against his gas powered chainsaw that every man probably has in his garage.He stated "it cuts really good... because it has a new chain. Just wait until you wear it down." followed by more typical dad advice. "I wouldn't use it in the rain." (My logs were damp from yesterday's rain btw but I insisted on testing this thing out today)Dad continued to advise, "you'll wear the chain out faster."I wanted to cut logs into full boards, "I wouldn't do that if i were you. Take it to a saw mill."I'll take Dad's advice when it comes to handling something with teeth.The one thing I was certain about was getting an electric one because I'm tired of the maintenance with storing gas powered tools and the yanking arm workouts with pull-starts.Lifting a tool without the added weight of a gas tank makes me feel like Kitana cutting fruit."I'd try to sit it up right when you store it so it doesn't leak oil." - DadWhen cutting- "Don't force it. Let it do the work." - Dad"I would've pull the guard off before you plugged it in."- DadBut dad, "there's a safety on it!"Chinese tool but the manual is very comprehensive.Does not include dad advice in the manual.For $54, I now have a working 16" chainsaw and I'm looking for more reasons to use it.
