Electric chainsaws can be good, but usually nowhere near a petrol saw.
They should be powerful enough for small logs smaller than 8"
Budget for a spare chain, these saws have a hard time when the chain dulls.

alibabba · 12-03-2009 10:39am

then again, I might go with this one, tis a bargain !!!!

I'd say any of them would be fine for home use, but a note of caution: Chain saws are very dangerous indeed and people have killed themselves with them when they weren't used to them. If it slips or cuts through the workpiece and hits your leg, you will be minus a leg before you can blink. Professionals wear overalls that have thick padding on the legs that will jam the saw if it hits there, and steel toe capped boots to protect their feet. If you haven't used one before, read the instruction manual and do exactly what it says;)

Thats one of the issues I have with electric saws, due to the way an electric saw works it has huge torque and chainsaw safety pants which stall petrol saws don't work very well on electric saws.
It is unlikely that you will cut your leg off, you are far more likely to cut a hole in yourself and bleed out.
Steel capped boots are a very good idea though.
I think Lidl had chainsaw boots on offer a while back worth checking out.

alibabba · 12-03-2009 12:45pm

also on sale today

Lidl, on and off, have had the complete works, i.e. boots, kevlar trousers, gloves and helmet available.

fergalfrog · 12-03-2009 6:35pm

If anyone gets that Lidl chainsaw can they post back here on whether or not it's any good. Thanks in advance.

builditwell · 12-03-2009 9:36pm

I bought and returned one today for various reasons, the main one being I value my own safety and hands and after a near amputation of 2 of my fingers I boxed it u and sent it back. The torque is dangerous as with the electric motor it is releases by a trigger button making it jump which is far from smooth. The chain left the running belt 3 times so I had it checked by a friend who works for a local tool hire company.He laughed at me but reset it and gave it a few practice saws but with exactle the same effect.

I followed my intuition and his advice and got rid of the thing asap. I am not LIDL bashing because they do have a great range of products for good value products but "DIY'ERS beware this is not a safe item to buy". As Art6 said please use extreme caution with this product.

niceirishfella · 12-03-2009 9:42pm

Thanks Builditwell,

Give the electric one a wide birth.
However, when the petrol "florabest" chainsaw comes back into stoack and on offer in Lidl - snap it up.
It's made by Husquevarna and a bargain!
I'll be keep me eye out for one.

It is not made by Husky, it is made in the Italian factory which produces McCulloch and the cheap Husqvarna saws 142 etc.
It is a reasonable saw but not what I would call a bargain.
How do you get parts for it? Mail order?

Nobody seems to have raised an eyebrow at the 14K price tag on the chainsaw in the linky :eek: Typo or is it Ultra special?

You were told wrong

Have a look at the sticker next time they are in stock.
Husqvarna is part of the Electrolux group, which also make Partner, McCulloch, and Jonsered.
The factory is in Valmadrera in Italy.
They assemble all the consumer saws for Husky.
Some of the parts might be made in Sweden, but they are assembled in Italy.

CJ - calm down, breath in and out.

I'm saying and stand by what i said "what I was told" - don't shoot the messenger - and regardless of who makes it,its meant ( I'm told,geddit)to be good for the price and I'll take that advice from the person i know in the trade and not a faceless person on an internet forum using a dead politicians name, trying to brow beat me down with a "I know it all and you're wrong styleeeeeeee" End of.;) LOL

AckwelFoley · 15-03-2009 4:03pm

Electric chainsaws.. hmmm..

Ive got a husquvarna chainsaw, petrol - great machine. Having said that we'd have alot of work for it.

PLease be careful with chainsaws, there are very dangerous to work with, but most accidents happen due to complacency or not knowing how to use a cainsaw properly.. Never ever use the tip of the saw for cutting, keep the branch clost to the base of the chain bear the grip teeth

Firstly I am calm.... just taking my medication

Secondly good man, go and buy the saw, just don't cut your leg and bleed out.
I couldn't give a monkeys whether you think I am trying to brow beat you or not, what I do care about is accuracy of information.
You have provided nothing but "a mate told me that this saw is a husky"
Anyone else reading this thread that thinks the Florabest is a Husqvarna think again, it ain't orange and it ain't a husky.

gsxr1 · 16-03-2009 10:43am

I got the petrol chainsaw in Aldi. Tis a little cracker. I have cut down 4 big trees and stocked my shed with winter heat for next year. .

Its put away now with the cylinder full of two stroke for storage.

Hopefully it will be ready for action next year again.

. I did need to buy a file for sharpening as the one that came with it was no good.

alibabba · 18-03-2009 11:10am

Update

I picked up the electric chainsaw in LIDL and have put it to serious work over the last week. I agree with the great advise not to cut using the tip, keeping the log close to base during cut will increase safety.

The chainsaw itself is great, allot of umph n power (2200W). and its great not to have to mess with topping up on petrol all the time and flooding it the odd time. im afraid my petrol chainsaw will stay in the loft for the time been.

Thumps up for this chainsaw for me anyway.

tinofapples · 09-08-2009 6:16pm

Lads, rather than start a new thread was wondering what are peoples opinions of the McCulloch petrol saws:

€149
http://www.woodiesdiy.com/productdetail.aspx?pid=1980&loc=P&catid=102.12
€199
http://www.woodiesdiy.com/productdetail.aspx?pid=7767&loc=P&catid=102.12
Same as above but Tenner cheaper
http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/7303755/Trail/searchtext%3ECHAINSAW.htm

Around €199
http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=20001&partNumber=1728044&Trail=searchtext%3ECHAINSAW

Are the McCulloch reliable ?

I had an electric one either Aldi/Lidl up till recently was working fine but ain't working anymore. Might consider the petrol this time due to portability restrictions with electric ones.

Alternatively are Spears and Jackson any good ? I'm not really interested in the more expensive ones (Husq/Stihl) as it's not for heavy use. Bit of log cutting and such.

Gautama · 28-08-2009 8:14am

Lidl are selling their Florabest petrol chainsaw from Monday, €100.
http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20090831.p.Florabehainsaw
I was going to get a McC for €175 in B&Q but I think I will get this instead. It's got good HP and a longer blade, and costs less.
The chain sharpener is €25.

I have a S&J brush-cutter, I wouldn't buy one again.
It's just a generic tool with the S&J brand on it. S&J make good quality hand tools but their brush-cutter is just a poor re-brand.

alibabba · 28-08-2009 8:19am

As already mentioned, I got the florabest electric charinsaw 2200W version, a mighty saw i tell ya.
I've a full shed of timber all cut up and she still going.
So I would have to recommend the florabest

That that money you cant go wrong

niceirishfella · 28-08-2009 10:34am

Thanks for the heads up on this - I'll be grabbing one of these too!

Greenman · 29-08-2009 12:07am

For me there is only one brand for a chain saw and thats Stihl. Bought mine

about 5 years ago, its a MS 180 I use it every year for getting in my winter wood supply. Its starts everytime even if its been lying idle for say 3 months. I use the Stihl file set to keep the chain sharp. Maintainence is easy an basic and if I really have a problem I can go back to the dealer and his workshop to sort it.

I was so happy with Stihl I bought the petrol domestic strimmer plus they're electric hedge trimmer.

:):)

CJhaughey · 29-08-2009 6:06pm

The MS 180 is finished, the new MS181 is a different design with the stratocharged engine.
I would agree that the MS 180 is a good little machine and was very reasonably priced(in other countries).
I am hearing good reports about the MS211 also stratocharged,apparently after about 10-11 tanks they start to run very well.
Stihls strength has always been it's dealer network.
I wouldn't get one of those electric sharpeners they will reduce the lifetime of your chain considerably, learn to file and you won't look back.
The chain they use on those saws is either 91VX or 95VP and a loop of it is about €25 ea.

Good post CJ re the sharpening this a good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qhwQy8jTHg&feature=related

I think I paid €225 4 years ago here in Belgium and its paid me back many times, very handy kit.

Cutting down trees takes a bit of thinking especially if you're close to electric wires and/or houses but thats another story.

All I can say I'm very happy with my MS 180.:):):)

After doing a bit of research I've decided that "you pay for quality"! In that case I may give Florabest a skip.

Also, I did some googling and there are a number of posts where people have had trouble finding Florabest parts.

I have an electric McCullock that I haven't used that much and it's given me no problems. However, I need a petrol one so I may buy a Husquvarna or a Stihl.

Where's the best place (in the Dublin area) to buy one? If memory serves I can't recall seeing one in Homebase or B&Q. Am I better off going to Atlantic or Woodies, or a Builders Providers like Brooks?

I look at it like this, you probably need a 30-40cc saw for small work nothing bigger than 16" dia. Can you sharpen and maintain your own saw? clean the Airfilter? If you can then buy from Ebay. If you aren't sure and need to be walked through the process, find a good local dealer either Stihl or Husky.
There are a few good dealers around but also a lot of them are just interested in getting money out of your wallet and into theirs.
I wouldn't buy from those big stores they will be not much cheaper than a dealer and give as much backup as an Ebay seller.

Stihl look at MS181-211
Husky 435-440 not the 235 series.

They are much cheaper in the UK.

Well, The Florabest is a Husky, so it is quality and you've missed a trick imho. I bought one today, and its got Husky written on it, a comprehensive manual and 24 month back up by Husky themselves here or in the uk(all the contact details are in the manual)
I've asembled it, and its working well - and for €99?
It's near disposable at that price.
Ohhh, and I picked up some nice croissants whilst in lidl, they'tre in the oven now, Mmmmmmmmmm.:D

alibabba · 01-09-2009 7:14am

Take it from me ... regardless of whether it says florabest nor not, these chain saws are quality, you'd know it straight away adter using it for a couple of times.
Mighty kick in it, powerful (and dangerous) and works every time.

CJ, how do you rate the Husky 445? Just ordered one with 18" bar.

CJhaughey · 02-09-2009 11:04am

They are a good saw for light general use,limbing etc.
I would think 18" could be a little long for the saw, can you change it for a 16" The smaller bar would be better but if it is mainly smaller stuff that is being cut then the 18" may save bending over too much.

the watchman · 26-04-2010 10:13am

The electric saws are in lidl on Thurs. I want to cut new softwood sleepers 8"x4" for garden - very few. I am only hobyist /will rarely use it. So many diff opinons.
Whos got one and how did they fair with it.
The kick in it wouldnt worry me now I know its coming. Does it come with a sharpener
Fingers crossed here (while I still have them lol) for hopefully positive replies.

Answeres before thurs please . Incidently how quickly do they sell out?

Thanks.

alibabba · 26-04-2010 10:25am

I am on my second LIDL chainsaw, the first one I really over-used it. I had a full shed of timber logs to cut up, took a few weeks on and off. In the end, the 1st chainsaw was still cutting away no bother. But the safety cut-off brake on it started to give way, prob from the over-use of it. (When you let go of the power switch, under normal conditions the chain would stop instantly while the electric motor would slow down gradually to a stop).

I brought the chainsaw back to the store with the receipt. I didnt have the original box so I had it in a bin-liner bag. Went to the check-out with it, told the girl I need to return it because the brake was faulty, she didnt even blink, just gave me my money back. When it came out again I bought a new one because I wont be over-using it again so it should last a long time.
Standar usage will mean you have a three year warranty on it !!!

It will slice thru those railway sleepers no problem. I cut up some serious big logs with it and it didnt seem to have trouble. There is a max rec size on the box so I'd stick to this if I were you all the same.

Mine didnt come with a chain sharpener, but a round file will do the job no problem.

Remember, there is a serious kick out of these chainsaws, its really surprising how powerful it is for an electric chainsaw. Keep the cahin sharp and it cuts just as good as any good petrol chainsaw.

Happy cutting and stay safe.

the watchman · 26-04-2010 1:47pm

Thanks for that Alibabba. Perfect detailed answere. I also just happened on a nieghbour this morning who has vast experience of chainsaws and he told me virtually the same, that 'for my particular personal needs' the Lidl electric would be just fine. He also pointed out no petrol cans or mess to store away etc.

So there we have it folks, its horses for courses. Get a mini car instead of a ferari for nipping down to Lidls in. lol lol:D.

Thanks again Ali, I was kinda hoping it was gonna be you replying.
Cheers.

Ps. I hope I'm still able to type on my keyboard after my use of machine LOL.

Hi Alibabba, me again lol.
I know it's been a while since you got you electric chainsaw but I hope you can remember when you first uesd it.

I did purchased a florabest electric chainsaw from Lidl. Not used it yet but have read manual through twice.
I have one query. It says to tention chain before first use. And that apart from obtaining the correct gap you should be able to "pull chain around with gloved hand"..
The next bit might sound stupid, it does not say 'in which direction'. I naturally assumed it was the cutting direction but unless chain is really very/too loose I can't pull it round (in that direction). But I can pull it round 'in reverse so to speak when tention is right judging from the gap.

Am I worrying too much or missing something here.
Safety first !!!!!

If you have the chain too tight you won't be able to pull it round easily. Doesn't matter in which direction.

Safety first indeed.
The chain should not be too tight, I had the same problem you describe above with mine, but I found that I had the chain too tight. When tightened, you should be able to pull the chain away from the guide bar a few millimeters, any more than that its too loose. And with the extremely good safety brake inside the chain saw, sometimes its hard to pull the chain thru.

Well Guys,
Thanks for comments.
Gave it a go today. As you can see I still have a few fingers left lol:D.
After some small test cuts I cut my first sleeper. Very nice:).
There seems to be a bit of a spray of oil but I think thats probably is usual.

alibabba · 31-05-2010 3:56pm

you prob know this already, but you can tweek the amount of oil been discharged.

one other thing i notcied, the chain needs regular sharpening

tmcw · 10-08-2010 11:10pm

Has anyone had any trouble with the oil dispenser on the Florabest?

My Dad has one, and the oil isn't coming out. We took it apart, and the mechanism appeared ok. Would the oil type make a difference? I think he was using a mineral based oil SAE 30W, IIRC, so fairly thick (I think). With the chain off, and the motor running, we were able to use positive pressure to suck it up with a syringe to the chain chamber, but it still wouldn't flow after removing the syringe.

Saw is well out of warranty, so can't go that route. Great saw too, has certainly earned it's keep over the past 5 years or so.

You will see from my previous posts that I have a Florabest electric chainsaw about 3 months now. It is my understanding that you should use the special 'chainsaw' oil as this is thinner than normal motor oil. Not saying that this is your problem but its worth thinking about!.

That is his problem, he needs to use chain saw oil for the reason you stated.

Also, the oil dispenser my possibly be clogged with dust from cutting, but this doesnt usually happen for a good while

tmcw · 11-08-2010 9:00pm

So, ye reckon the oil is too thick? We were thinking that, but didn't have anything else to hand at the time. The same oil works fine in his petrols, but maybe the delivery system is more powerful in those. He tried thinning it down with diesel, but it didn't help (lots of places online say to use 30W though; maybe that's more for petrol saws).

The system is definitely not clogged with dust, as we had the plate under the chain drive open, disconnected all the tubing inside and blew through them all, and primed it with the syringe, so no dust in there, and we now have intimate knowledge on how the dispenser works.

Also, no leaks from any of those connections for the tubing under the plate.

I'll say to him to have a look in the manual, see if it specifies any oil type that should be used, and take it from there.

Go to a lawnmower shop and ask for Chainsaw bar and chain oil.

JimmyTee · 05-09-2013 11:28pm

lidl electric chainsaws were out again today, i got one and i must say I was surprised its got loads of torque nothing seem to slow it but maybe thats down to a nice new sharp chain.

The lead is a bit of a pain alright, but i suppose so is messing with 2 stroke and petrol.

GavPJ · 31-08-2015 11:39am

The electric ones are on sale again towards the end of the month in Aldi.
€69

Ill chance one of these, I'll be just using it for cutting up old pallets in work that I bring home to burn.
Mate of mine has a Black and Decker one so we'll do a comparison and report back.

I bought one last week and so far its been great! cut off a few low hanging branches and chopped up 5-6 barrows of wood from bits lying around. Nice and light compared to a petrol, good long 10M cord too.

LIDL Electric chainsaw ?
