the truth is what he says at the end , at the moment they`re about £16 on auction sites , a PROPER 2nd hand chainsaw from the same site BIN is about £20 ...... for £4 do you really want to take the risk ????
No. It's quite safe. There's no kick back chain effect. But at first, I was skeptical. Gas power chainsaw have more kickback. Managed to chop down 10 18-24" diameter trees before the front bearings got destroyed. It cost only $5 USD in my country now. Last year price was $25. Have ordered 2 sets more and extra 3 chains. 3 chains ia also the same price. Safer if use a trigger type switch and not the normal type usually found on cordless grinder. But the grinder wire need to convert into a longer 10' ones. All my power tools did that
I just wanted to add, you don’t have to buy a new angle grinder if your spindle is 16mm & the sprocket it comes with is 10mm you can buy on eBay a 16mm sprocket £1.17 free delivery I know as I’ve brought one, it works a treat ( bloody dangerously mind ) you have to be quite brave/ stupid to use one mines working well 👍🏼
Interesting, thanks for this useful information, ill have a look for that now. Totally agree with the 'stupid to use one', but they are absolutely spot on for a bit of quick cutting action.
If this is used on a battery operated grinder like a dewalt with the trigger, I can see some use for it. It’s basically a battery operated chainsaw without chainbreak at that point, and it’s small I think it’ll be a little useful tool for very small jobs.
Someone on one of the UK groups had done that, they might even have commented here, It was a while ago and I think they actually destroyed the gearbox on theirs, pretty sure it was a Makita as well. Im leaving this on a cheap corded grinder and nothing decent. You are right it is a very useful tool as it is though.
Thanks I enjoyed watching your video clip, I bought a chainswa five years ago but forgot how to assemble it, I was able to do it again after watching your vedio review.. thanks!
In reality, much more safer. Thumb must be near switch. So impressed, I bought another two. Those who were skeptical like me thought it was scarry to use but not so. Just like getting a pit bull dog with feared reputation. Actually there are awesome lap dog!
Hi, I bought one.. Great concept, however, mine came with a plastic chain tensioner, at least yours was metalic. Mine appears too dangerous and has become a dust gatheror on the shelf. I agree with your final point - Get a purpose built electric one.
Mine is all metal. Five bucks per kit. Five bucks for three extra chains. Much more safer than gas chainsaw as no kickback. Better if it have trigger type switch. Last up tp 10 medium size trees before front bearings got destroyed. Bought another two. I'm not easily impressed. Type of person.
Was thinking of buying one thinking it was kool and unique, but now watching your video I don't think I'm gonna purchase one. Don't wanna end up in the Emergency Room .Thx....
You are the only one who gave the real truth about the high risk come attached with this kind of attachment which is not made to suit various types of hand grinders . No guarantee of matching it to your tool.
As a qualified chain saw user for over 30 years I wouldn't go anywhere near that thing Bongo. Lethal is the word that springs to mind....Be safe dude...
As a qualified chainsaw user I agree. Good idea but theres no lubricator for the chain, proper handguard or chainbreak. Your hands are too close to the chain.
Not sure but have you been looking at chainsaw videos and doing searches for that? I think google provides adverts specific to you based on what information youve been searching for.
Perhaps you could take the gearbox off the grinder, rotate it 180 so the switch is on top. Some grinders will allow you to do this. It would be a lot safer to use then.
revb0 yep 👍🏻 but who you talking to .! The guy open his parcel with Rambo machete 😂😂😂😂 don’t think his IQ is in that level. while that plastic handle designed to left hand side but he put on wrong side..! This chainsaw grinder adopter designed just like real chainsaw..!! Real chainsaw holding grip stays on your left hand side and your right hand holds the switch and bottom .. But what he did he wrongly positioned plastic handle to his right hand and switch on/off with left hand which totally wrong. I have one on those bought in AliExpress works fine .! It’s designed for small branches not for heavy duties.. he cuts logg 😂😂 even in the package says it’s designed for branches maximum diameter 8cm or 3”.... he cuts 6” or 8” thick logg with it and complains...😂😂 made and design China what he expect more 😂😂😂
Trust me, it's much more safer than gas pedal chainsaw. Use on cordless trigger type for safer work. If wired, need to modify to 30' for safety. The power is much more controllable than the gas powered one. For five buck for the kit, managed to cut down 10 trees before the front roller bearings got destroyed. So good, I bought another two.
I have one ordered and on the way from China :[ on the plus side it was £7.61 (if it ever gets here:) and I can't see any electric grinder lasting too long:] As an entry into the crazy world of chainsaws I'll report back later if my fingers survive the imminent ordeal:]
Thepoultrypeople, i think you've overtightened that chain a bit too much in that video. Just my opinion. Generally, a rule of thumb when it comes down to how much you should tighten up the chain on your chainsaw is: if you pull down on the chain, it should leave about a millimeter to two of a gap between the chain and the blade it runs along, but not so much that it exits the groove of the chain run.
Sigh.........you aren't left handed so why don't you re-mount the handle on the left side......this will enable you to hold the angle grinder body in your right hand.....where the on/off switch is....... and the handle in your left hand where you will have much better control of it. I bought the 12" EBAY one, sold by Simply Homeware, it comes with 2 chain drive sprockets, and the OZITO cordless grinder with 5 amp hour battery to go with it.
For anyone who doubts the ability of this cordless angle grinder chainsaw/setup to be any good.....I have been using mine for the last couple of months down the garden chopping up 75-100 mm tree branches for the recycle bin and I can definitely state that it's one of my go to tools for garden tree branch clearance. The battery lasts for several hours between charges......the big advantage is that you can hold it in one hand while using it to saw even the 100mm thick branches.
Thanks for the review.. I've just had an idea of buying one but I was intrigued with safety concerns. Stumbled upon your video. Agree. That's way too dangerous. The blade rotating at 12000 rpm should not be that close with the hand without proper protection shield.
More dangerous on gas powered chainsaw. It got kickback. But not this one. Safer if the grinder is trigger type switch like on the cordless. So safe and highly impressed that I bought another two kits
I know this is an old post but they sell two versions, one for a 4" grinder and one for a 4-1/2" grinder. The sprockets are different sizes. I'm guessing you bought the one for the 4".
I will stick with a proper chainsaw thanks for the review. I have seen some nasty cuts with chainsaw's when i worked as a contract fella in the Scottish Highlands , let alone that death trap Thanks for the review.
Gas powered is more dangerous. Chainsaw on cordless grinder with trigger switch is more safer. On normal grinder, your thumb needs to be near switch for easy switch off power supply. Five bucks now. Used to be 25 last year
I’m as fond of power tools as the next person, but that looks scary as hell. As you said in the video, a cheap electric one would probably be a better bet.
Look must be deceiving. It's safer. All power tools are dangerous to idiots. But thumb must be near switch at all time unless it's a trigger type. So safe, bought another two
Thanks for the Idea I'm going to convert one of these things into a Space Marine Chainsword for my channel, check it out i can prob do it within a month with my current projects going on, special thanks to you for the idea, if you wan't one after mines made let me know. For the Emprah!
Thanks mate, appreciated. Theres a comment from a while back by a guy who did this to his Makita grinder and shortly afterwards it destroyed the gearbox on it. Im using it on a cheap performance b and q grinder which is proving a decent bit of kit, the grinder I bought from the Range recently for £15 literally and i meant that lasted less than 4 seconds. I wish I had filmed it, I also wished id kept the receipt. How to lose £15 in 4 seconds....
There is no oil tank for chain lubrication as is standard on electric chainsaws. Reckon an electric chainsaw is a better bet. I see load of these grinder chainsaw on wish as well as a proper 4800 wat electric chainsaw, has anyone got one of those.
Im surprised the Chinese spelled chainsaw on the bar correct! Lol That thing looks a bit too shady for me to try... I use my hands on a daily basis. Lol Good vid my friend!
Safer. No kickback like gas powered ones. Surprisingly, very goog. Bought another two. Five bucks per kit. Much safer if have trigger type switch like on cordless grinder. If wired, wires should be at least 30' so less distraction
Bongo, the song Bronski Beat, Smalltown Boy - chorus "Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away ..." comes to mind. Since I live outside of Toronto, Canada do you mind if I store that tool on your shelf in Wales where I might be safe - Thanks.
Oh, no, Bongo I'd enter your 50K giveaway and that should occur soon enough - you just keep it and continue using it - I can live vicariously through your efforts and still count on my fingers - 1 ... 5 ... 10 - yep, all's good.
I'd be interested in buying this, to build a fixed sawmill type setup where I wouldn't be holding the device. But every review I read of all these kits say it doesn't fit any North American tools. I guess it's not meant to be!
I know what you mean, mounting it in a frame and turning it into more of a mitre saw. Id be careful of believing what you read, we put a man on the moon, im sure we can fit a chainsaw attachment to most tools with a bit of thought.
If I walked into the yard where the guy who taught me how to use a chainsaw to City & Guilds level (I wanted to be sure to do the thing right so I learned from a tree-feller expert and trainer and did the exam) with that in my hand he would put me out. But, people will buy them and there are bound to be accidents and regret.
I bought the same as i had 3 small grinders knocking about thought repurpose one into a saw sad truth it fitted none of them one was an aldi brand the other a 4 inch hitachi and a 4 1/2 inch hitachi commercial heavy duty
I got two wired grinders. One cordless. My kit is slightly better than this reviewer. Put it into wired grinder. Works like a gem. All my powered tools have. 10m cables. Shorter cable is troublesome and distracting. It's only five bucks and bought another two. Powered tools or cars are dangerous to idiots
Safer than gas powered chainsaw as the chain is only 12".No kickback like the gas powered ones. Thumb must be near switch. Or get the trigger type grinder.
+thepoultrypeople I've been toying with the idea of buying one to have a play with, I'm glad someone posted a video. It seems to cut really well. You need oil the sprocket at the tip of the bar. There is a tiny hole where you are supposed to use grease, but bar oil will work too.
i've seen what grinders can do to people without putting that thing on it!! good idea in theory i guess but not when like you say you can get a proper one for not much more!!
Thanks for risking your digits in the interests of research. I think I'll stick with my budget electric chainsaw, that handle is waaaay to close to the chain for me!
Actually it's really safer than gas powered chainsaw. No kickback. Better if the switch is trigger type or thumb must be near the switch at all time. So good for five bucks per kit, bought another two
Hi Bongo, that thing is scary as, on the Amazon page you gave a link to you can get an electric chainsaw for 39, much better option I reckon, keep up the good work man.
Sorry pal, you put plastic handle on wrong side.! Unless you’re left handed.! That plastic holding grip stays on your left hand side as you would use as exactly on real chain saw.! So once you put chain saw adaptor on grinder it’s not grinder anymore so you can’t operate as you would hold grinder so why kept handle like grinder side.! Secondly when you ordered you should habe read description.! You should have ordered M16 .! Look like you ordered M10 chain wheel. Anyways you saying it’s dangerous but depending on what you use it for ... it’s not for logging or heavy duties. it has designed for small branches keeping garden trees trimmed ... I have one & put on my battery Grinder and works fine without glitch... At the end it’s Chinese made don’t expect more than what you get.. I have one I know how to use it and I knew what I’m ordering..!! So if you concern about health safety so my advice don’t get near to any tools like this.! Buy one regulated safety proved .. €C
Look must be deceiving. I was like you until I tried it. It's safer than the gas ones. So impressed that I bought another two. But thumb must be near switch. Power tools are always dangerous to lunatic people or idiots. Or overzealous clueless reviewer. Trust me. It's safer than gas powered ones and can cut down many treed
Five bucks for the kit now. Put on my Makita cordless, grinder, more safer than gas powered ones. Grinder with more injuries when used with cheap 4" disc cutting wheels. Quality disc wood cutting wheel will cut hardwood like butter. Cheaper ones will make it jump and smoke
That means the your holding the saw with the chain in total alignment with your body? Ill stick to the way I set it up, if it kicks back or the chain comes off it wont be cutting off my dominant hand or belting me in the face.
Don’t do it my Daughters father-in-law Has just nearly lost his left hand as this thing kicked back on him 3 surgical procedures and several pints of blood transfused and he is doing ok Luckily Neighbour got him to A&E he was unconscious from blood loss in the short time it took him to get there these things are really not worth the risk get a proper chainsaw
Five bucks. Works like a gem. No kickback. Fell many trees. But thumb must be near switch unless it's a trigger type. So impressed, bought another two.
Folks - As a public service I'll link this Wikipedia page: list of emergency telephone numbers by country en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emergency_telephone_numbers and in the meantime while you await the emergency responders arrival look around to see if you can locate where your fingers and bits have got to.
Good review, they do seem quite lethal. I bought one to trim some high branches and didn't want to climb the tree, so I attached it on the end of a 18 ft pole. (even more dangerous I know) lol I watched this video before attaching it as the installation pictures were too dark to see. You have installed the handle on the wrong side of the grinder.check out this video for installation, hope this helps. czcams.com/video/jve-J_-3ux8/video.html you are
You have no idea about using a chainsaw. While your tool procedure seems good, have the plug in sight on the bench, your chain saw knowledge is zero. Do not use one without instruction again. The side handle is for horizontal cutting, post top for example. You have no power in your grip sideways, it is the death grip. While there is no chain brake in this case, the top does give some minor added strength. You will only get kickback from driving the tip directly into the wood, top first. If you have to bore cut, start the cut with the bottom of the tip and turn as it buries in. Never ever use a welding glove, it is too thick and if you do get a kick, no way will you control it. Bare hands are safe and strong. Stick to what you know, or ask someone who does. You are giving advice to people that trust you.
Chuck the damn thing in the bin. Chain saws are dangerous enough. In all my yrs using chain saws i've seen some nasty injuries but just imagine if you weren't an experienced trades man etc and put this piece of shit together. Should be banned. Folks should be thankful for this vid.
Wow, that thing sounds good in theory, but not everyone would use the common sense needed to make it even remotely safe. Ha, you'd give yourself a close shave with that tool.
In theory, it look dangerous. I was also scared to use at first. Since the chain is small there is no kickback like the gas powered ones. But thumb must be near switch. Never use on the rolling end. Safer if switch is trigger ttpe
don't buy one. i got one to prune some trees after about 1hour and a half, My dewalt grinder went up in smoke waste of money. Grinders aint designed to have hevery loads put on them. and yes they are pretty sketchy i think if the chain did come off it would tear your hand up pretty good
Im inclined to agree, it seems like a strange badly thought out product, the fact that you have to use it on a smaller shaft grinder for a start isnt good. I was really worried about the chain coming off and the best i could find was a leather welding gauntlet.
the truth is what he says at the end , at the moment they`re about £16 on auction sites , a PROPER 2nd hand chainsaw from the same site BIN is about £20 ...... for £4 do you really want to take the risk ????
No. It's quite safe. There's no kick back chain effect. But at first, I was skeptical. Gas power chainsaw have more kickback.
Managed to chop down 10 18-24" diameter trees before the front bearings got destroyed. It cost only $5 USD in my country now. Last year price was $25.

Thanks I enjoyed watching your video clip, I bought a chainswa five years ago but forgot how to assemble it, I was able to do it again after watching your vedio review.. thanks!
Try installing the handle on the left with the loop on top
Proper no nonsense demo 👍
In reality, much more safer. Thumb must be near switch. So impressed, I bought another two. Those who were skeptical like me thought it was scarry to use but not so.
Just like getting a pit bull dog with feared reputation. Actually there are awesome lap dog!
Was thinking of getting one for some small stuff...think ilk stick to my reciprocating saw with Makita pruning blades. Thanks for the review.
Hi, I bought one.. Great concept, however, mine came with a plastic chain tensioner, at least yours was metalic. Mine appears too dangerous and has become a dust gatheror on the shelf. I agree with your final point - Get a purpose built electric one.

@@mattseymour8637 if the mentioned features is there. Would u recommend it?
Interesting that YT picked a Sthil chainsaw advert to show before your video would play Bongo,
clever the way these things work
Not sure but have you been looking at chainsaw videos and doing searches for that? I think google provides adverts specific to you based on what information youve been searching for.

Real chainsaw holding grip stays on your left hand side and your right hand holds the switch and bottom ..
But what he did he wrongly positioned plastic handle to his right hand and switch on/off with left hand which totally wrong.
I have one on those bought in AliExpress works fine .!
It’s designed for small branches not for heavy duties.. he cuts logg 😂😂 even in the package says it’s designed for branches maximum diameter 8cm or 3”.... he cuts 6” or 8” thick logg with it and complains...😂😂 made and design China what he expect more 😂😂😂
Great review. I was going to buy one but after seeing this I realsie it's not a good idea. I'll go down the cheap electric chainsaw route. Thank you
I think that is a much better and safer option.
Trust me, it's much more safer than gas pedal chainsaw. Use on cordless trigger type for safer work. If wired, need to modify to 30' for safety.

I'm surprised Mr. Butters didn't get in your way while trying to assemble it. My cat sure would.
No, Mr.Butters doesnt like power tools much. Yours does?
I saw a website where a guy made one of these from scratch. Can't remember what site it was though. Wish I had recorded it.
I have one ordered and on the way from China :[ on the plus side it was £7.61 (if it ever gets here:) and I can't see any electric grinder lasting too long:] As an entry into the crazy world of chainsaws I'll report back later if my fingers survive the imminent ordeal:]
What a chump I am to even order it, let alone to think it might, got my money back from piepull though:]
Did you get it ? It costs like $35 in Australia.
no, never even got delivered, probably saved me at least a few fingers:]
And I think we’ll leave it right there! Nice work buddy.
Put a long pole behind the grinder. Less dangerous may be.
You're a braver man than me, have you still got ten fingers and no stitches?
All good, i gave it a hell of a beating recently on a carving project, multiple kick backs the lot, i was quite impressed. Ill upload it soon.
Maybe not the safest, but it's amazing fast!
Put into cordless trigger type grinder, you can control the power and easily stop the machine
Thepoultrypeople, i think you've overtightened that chain a bit too much in that video. Just my opinion. Generally, a rule of thumb when it comes down to how much you should tighten up the chain on your chainsaw is: if you pull down on the chain, it should leave about a millimeter to two of a gap between the chain and the blade it runs along, but not so much that it exits the groove of the chain run.
Thank you, thats great advice.
Your caution is true , same happened to me and I injured my hand . It is unsafe chainsaw accessory for angled grinder.
Gas powered is much more dangerous. Grinder wire need to modified onto longer 10m wire. Go cordless with trigger switch, more safer.
رجاااا اريد واحد وين يباع
Sigh.........you aren't left handed so why don't you re-mount the handle on the left side......this will enable you to hold the angle grinder body in your right hand.....where the on/off switch is....... and the handle in your left hand where you will have much better control of it.

Awesome video!!
I bought 1 wont fit any of my grinders here in Canada...was excited to try lol sucks
I know this is an old post but they sell two versions, one for a 4" grinder and one for a 4-1/2" grinder. The sprockets are different sizes. I'm guessing you bought the one for the 4".
Safer than gas powered chainsaw but thumb must be near swit h unless it's a trigger type. No kickback unlike gas powered ones if use correctly.
I will stick with a proper chainsaw thanks for the review. I have seen some nasty cuts with chainsaw's when i worked as a contract fella in the Scottish Highlands , let alone that death trap Thanks for the review.
Gas powered is more dangerous. Chainsaw on cordless grinder with trigger switch is more safer. On normal grinder, your thumb needs to be near switch for easy switch off power supply. Five bucks now. Used to be 25 last year
It is a good idea, but I guess it makes me nervous too. For the money I’d probably look for one at a boot sale.
Good advice, as long as you can test it, i had argos challenge chainsaws for a while and the safety break failed on my last one.
Hard to find a grinder that stands up to hard normal use i dont see the motor lasting to long
Nope, theres someone on here whos used a decent grinder and his has broken I think., the grinder isnt designed for this at all.
I’m wary using my trusted Husqvarna. I wouldn’t dare to run that lol.
from were can get a bigger attachment as the arbor is small to fit in my grinder. i need one with a bigger hole
Cool knife
I’m as fond of power tools as the next person, but that looks scary as hell. As you said in the video, a cheap electric one would probably be a better bet.
No. Small chainsaw have no kick back like the gas powered ones. Thumb must be near switch
Bravo
Thanks for the video. I wanted to buy one. But now i save my money and buy an elektrik one
Ya not sure about that tool Bongo.......but dang thats the most words I heard you spout yet....lol.....keep up the good job Bongo..
In America we can buy a brand new, proper, corded 14-inch chainsaw for $40 which seems like a safer option.
Five bucks. Tried it. Safer than gas powered ones. Only idiots will make it dangerous when doing silly stuff.
It should come with a suit of armor!!! Dude even the Butterman wouldn’t come near that thing!
Look must be deceiving. It's safer. All power tools are dangerous to idiots. But thumb must be near switch at all time unless it's a trigger type. So safe, bought another two
Jesus Murphy, that thing should be in the Warhammer 40K universe and not for purchase by people!
Thanks for the Idea I'm going to convert one of these things into a Space Marine Chainsword for my channel, check it out i can prob do it within a month with my current projects going on, special thanks to you for the idea, if you wan't one after mines made let me know.
For the Emprah!
Hay thanx for this video but my question can we use this tool as a concrete cutting chain saw
No
Nice review, I guess it would be ok if you were in a need be situation.
من اين نجيب التعديل ده؟
teşekkürler
Is that knife big enough to open that package 😊
Yet again another great piece of kit ,it performs awesome
Cheers
Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
I thought that bit of kit was for cordless grinders,!? Good video though 👍
Thanks mate, appreciated. Theres a comment from a while back by a guy who did this to his Makita grinder and shortly afterwards it destroyed the gearbox on it. Im using it on a cheap performance b and q grinder which is proving a decent bit of kit, the grinder I bought from the Range recently for £15 literally and i meant that lasted less than 4 seconds. I wish I had filmed it, I also wished id kept the receipt. How to lose £15 in 4 seconds....
There is no oil tank for chain lubrication as is standard on electric chainsaws. Reckon an electric chainsaw is a better bet. I see load of these grinder chainsaw on wish as well as a proper 4800 wat electric chainsaw, has anyone got one of those.
There are on most model. Safer than g as powered ones. Five bucks last up to 10 trees of medium size. Front bearings destroyed. Bought another two
Im surprised the Chinese spelled chainsaw on the bar correct!
Lol
That thing looks a bit too shady for me to try... I use my hands on a daily basis.
Lol
Good vid my friend!
Safer. No kickback like gas powered ones. Surprisingly, very goog. Bought another two. Five bucks per kit. Much safer if have trigger type switch like on cordless grinder. If wired, wires should be at least 30' so less distraction
Groovy
We groove all night baby x
Bongo, the song Bronski Beat, Smalltown Boy - chorus "Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away ..." comes to mind. Since I live outside of Toronto, Canada do you mind if I store that tool on your shelf in Wales where I might be safe - Thanks.
So you wouldnt be entering a giveaway for one :) Might do that at 50k ha ha ha its all good until it isnt 😉
Oh, no, Bongo I'd enter your 50K giveaway and that should occur soon enough - you just keep it and continue using it - I can live vicariously through your efforts and still count on my fingers - 1 ... 5 ... 10 - yep, all's good.
i have seen a chainsaw attached atached to disc, I thought that was lethal
i think id have to wear some chainmail ha
I'd be interested in buying this, to build a fixed sawmill type setup where I wouldn't be holding the device. But every review I read of all these kits say it doesn't fit any North American tools. I guess it's not meant to be!

the link for the 10 mm ,please.
10mm arbor
Well for me I need the power of a petrol engine and the durable build of a stihl so prubably not.
Where did you find a grinder with a 10mm spindle shaft?
This ones from B&Q, youre looking for a 4inch grinder not a 4.5 inch one. Trying to find something now, not many list the spindle size.
I bought the same as i had 3 small grinders knocking about thought repurpose one into a saw sad truth it fitted none of them one was an aldi brand the other a 4 inch hitachi and a 4 1/2 inch hitachi commercial heavy duty
I got two wired grinders. One cordless. My kit is slightly better than this reviewer. Put it into wired grinder. Works like a gem. All my powered tools have. 10m cables. Shorter cable is troublesome and distracting. It's only five bucks and bought another two. Powered tools or cars are dangerous to idiots
No place for bar lube..... that bar and chain will burn and you will wreck them when they get too hot
Its got a small hole for you to drip it in, its easier though to just pour on engine oil between cuts.
Not for me, petrol chainsaw from eBay for £80 with a break attachment included and log spikes on the side.
Safer than gas powered chainsaw as the chain is only 12".No kickback like the gas powered ones. Thumb must be near switch. Or get the trigger type grinder.
+thepoultrypeople I've been toying with the idea of buying one to have a play with, I'm glad someone posted a video. It seems to cut really well. You need oil the sprocket at the tip of the bar. There is a tiny hole where you are supposed to use grease, but bar oil will work too.
El guante va en la otra mano
Belinya dimana ni indonesia ada ga
di Tokopedia
Thanks for the advice by testing the tool, so i dont have to kill myself for that...
Stay save....
i've seen what grinders can do to people without putting that thing on it!! good idea in theory i guess but not when like you say you can get a proper one for not much more!!
Try putting the handle on the left hand side 😂
No, that puts the position of my body directly in line with the blade and without an adequate safety brake thats asking for trouble.
Thanks for risking your digits in the interests of research. I think I'll stick with my budget electric chainsaw, that handle is waaaay to close to the chain for me!
They should remake a new movie
🎥 Self Chainsaw Massacre.
LOL
Saludos
Great Video. Yikes! Run Away! Run Away!
ha ha ha :)
I have got one And it works very well it is safe to use like it
Actually it's really safer than gas powered chainsaw. No kickback. Better if the switch is trigger type or thumb must be near the switch at all time. So good for five bucks per kit, bought another two
Great review man, a suitably dangerous bit of kit !
Hi Bongo, that thing is scary as, on the Amazon page you gave a link to you can get an electric chainsaw for 39, much better option I reckon, keep up the good work man.
Really? At that price its a no brainer.
Sorry pal, you put plastic handle on wrong side.! Unless you’re left handed.!
That plastic holding grip stays on your left hand side as you would use as exactly on real chain saw.!
So once you put chain saw adaptor on grinder it’s not grinder anymore so you can’t operate as you would hold grinder so why kept handle like grinder side.!
Secondly when you ordered you should habe read description.!
You should have ordered M16 .!
Look like you ordered M10 chain wheel.
Anyways you saying it’s dangerous but depending on what you use it for ... it’s not for logging or heavy duties.
it has designed for small branches keeping garden trees trimmed ... I have one & put on my battery Grinder and works fine without glitch...
At the end it’s Chinese made don’t expect more than what you get..
I have one I know how to use it and I knew what I’m ordering..!!
So if you concern about health safety so my advice don’t get near to any tools like this.! Buy one regulated safety proved .. €C
Exactly
that knife is compensating for something.
No way bloody hell mad. I don't think l would give it go , and l am not right lol
Ive got two, we could have a sword fight with them? ;)
Ye that would make a great video mate.
Look must be deceiving. I was like you until I tried it. It's safer than the gas ones. So impressed that I bought another two. But thumb must be near switch. Power tools are always dangerous to lunatic people or idiots. Or overzealous clueless reviewer. Trust me. It's safer than gas powered ones and can cut down many treed
14" Electric chainsaw in the US cost 45.00,
Five bucks for the kit now. Put on my Makita cordless, grinder, more safer than gas powered ones. Grinder with more injuries when used with cheap 4" disc cutting wheels. Quality disc wood cutting wheel will cut hardwood like butter. Cheaper ones will make it jump and smoke
Thanks for the test but no chance. Imo if you the throw caution to the wind bongo has concerns about it then it's defo not safe lol
and i saw it deadly. . thanks for the review. i will not anyway
I think you install the handle wrongly.
SHow me how dude.
The C shape handle supposed to be install at the left side of the tool.
That means the your holding the saw with the chain in total alignment with your body? Ill stick to the way I set it up, if it kicks back or the chain comes off it wont be cutting off my dominant hand or belting me in the face.
dont think I will be going out to buy one
Don’t do it my Daughters father-in-law
Has just nearly lost his left hand as this thing kicked back on him
3 surgical procedures and several pints of blood transfused and he is doing ok
Luckily Neighbour got him to A&E
he was unconscious from blood loss in the short time it took him to get there these things are really not worth the risk get a proper chainsaw
Nhieu tien
I like the tool revieuw but don't like the tool. I wouldn't feel safe using it
We have Rambo here
Rambo got no balls. Used this, it's much more safer and sharp. But thumb must be near switch unless it's a trigger type
It's not the best tool but it does the job. For it's price can you complain much?
Five bucks. Works like a gem. No kickback. Fell many trees. But thumb must be near switch unless it's a trigger type. So impressed, bought another two.
Good review bongo definitely wouldn't buy one to dangerous
Blimey mate, not for me. Ill stick to the real deal. Cheers Moose.
Folks - As a public service I'll link this Wikipedia page: list of emergency telephone numbers by country en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emergency_telephone_numbers and in the meantime while you await the emergency responders arrival look around to see if you can locate where your fingers and bits have got to.
bollocks ,fucking hell ,plastic banana I do like the Brits swear words HA HA HA Enjoy and do take care Matey !
No kick back protection ? Dodgy as fuck. I wouldn't go near it
Good review, they do seem quite lethal. I bought one to trim some high branches and didn't want to climb the tree, so I attached it on the end of a 18 ft pole. (even more dangerous I know) lol I watched this video before attaching it as the installation pictures were too dark to see. You have installed the handle on the wrong side of the grinder.check out this video for installation, hope this helps. czcams.com/video/jve-J_-3ux8/video.html you are
You have no idea about using a chainsaw. While your tool procedure seems good, have the plug in sight on the bench, your chain saw knowledge is zero. Do not use one without instruction again. The side handle is for horizontal cutting, post top for example. You have no power in your grip sideways, it is the death grip. While there is no chain brake in this case, the top does give some minor added strength. You will only get kickback from driving the tip directly into the wood, top first. If you have to bore cut, start the cut with the bottom of the tip and turn as it buries in. Never ever use a welding glove, it is too thick and if you do get a kick, no way will you control it. Bare hands are safe and strong. Stick to what you know, or ask someone who does. You are giving advice to people that trust you.
Nice April Fool gimmick..Also FAOL no kitties.
Chuck the damn thing in the bin. Chain saws are dangerous enough. In all my yrs using chain saws i've seen some nasty injuries but just imagine if you weren't an experienced trades man etc and put this piece of shit together. Should be banned. Folks should be thankful for this vid.
Noooooooo way....what a horror! 😦 Always enjoy your videos though, so thank you.
Wow, that thing sounds good in theory, but not everyone would use the common sense needed to make it even remotely safe. Ha, you'd give yourself a close shave with that tool.
In theory, it look dangerous. I was also scared to use at first. Since the chain is small there is no kickback like the gas powered ones. But thumb must be near switch. Never use on the rolling end. Safer if switch is trigger ttpe
you knife is to small , you need bigger.
Mike Kamenski 👍🏻😂 next time he will open with samurai sword 🗡 😂😂😂
don't buy one. i got one to prune some trees after about 1hour and a half, My dewalt grinder went up in smoke waste of money. Grinders aint designed to have hevery loads put on them.
and yes they are pretty sketchy i think if the chain did come off it would tear your hand up pretty good
Im inclined to agree, it seems like a strange badly thought out product, the fact that you have to use it on a smaller shaft grinder for a start isnt good. I was really worried about the chain coming off and the best i could find was a leather welding gauntlet.
It's a 'no' from me ❌
Dogde proper dodge
Totally, need to tighten the chain ;) its gone a bit slack now.
