Husqvarna445 Gas Chainsaw, 50-cc 2.8-HP, 2-Cycle X-Torq Engine, 18 Inch Chainsaw with Automatic Oiler, For Wood Cutting and Tree Trimming

This chainsaw is honestly amazing and I say that after having a less than stellar first impression. The chainsaw arrived with the original Husqvarna box simply thrown into a larger, oversized box with no other packing material. On top of that, the Post Office delivered it with tape on the box indicating it had been handed off to the Post Office in damaged condition - shame on Amazon! Thankfully the chainsaw itself was undamaged inside. The next issue I had, and I don't know if it was my fault or not, is that it wouldn't start when it was new. It would cough then act like it lost all compression. After trying a few times over the course of a couple days, it finally fired up and has started easily and run great ever since then. Let's just assume I flooded it... In terms of design features, this chainsaw is excellent. I love the caps for the fuel and oil tanks; they have integrated levers that flip up for leverage and click in place - very user friendly. The choke/start/stop switch is well placed and intuitive to use. The side for the bar has the tensioner built into it (as opposed to built into the saw itself) so it releases chain tension when removed, making maintenance easy. It has a window into the fuel tank so there's no question how much is left. Overall, the saw is thoughtfully designed. Actual performance is quite good as well. It is possible to bog the saw down with heavy cuts, but it cuts quickly and easily when allowed to cut under its own weight. There's really no reason to be hard on it. Between the excellent cutting performance and the "low vibration" design - which really works - this chainsaw is a joy to use. It doesn't beat you up the way older designs do. I highly recommend this model as a general use, homeowner saw.

Starts first time, easy chain adjustment, very powerful, feels like it'll last a lifetime.

Love it

I received my Husqvarna Chainsaw 345 (18” to 20”) bar. Im very impressed how it starts easily and it runs great!!. My previous Husqvarna 350 was purchased over 20 years ago and Im keeping it as a spare. I decided to go with a slightly smaller chainsaw however I still wanted the ability to cut larger trees and brush on my property which it does well.. I really like the fact that it’s slightly lighter yet powerful enough to get the job done.. My Husky looks well made and also comes with a great warranty for power equipment.. I hope I get another twenty years use with this chainsaw..I definitely would give this chainsaw 5-plus stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️+

Great saw no issues!! One mistake I made, when you go to clean it make sure the saftey latch isin the right position or you wont be able to get the cover back on!! Very durable,,cuts fine!! Ahand I wish they furnished a more complete manual in larger print so old folks like me can read it!!lol

This saw loves to eat wood....hour after hour.....i had a older model that i ran over by accident and was heart broken..till i found this one..for a great price ....they have improved the gas consumption...its light enough to chop up all the wood i want to do....and keeps on running....as i said i dont usually give 5 stars but this saw does all i ask it to do and more....its light enough to get into hard to get spots on a log or in a standing tree..with plenty of power to get the job done quickly

It was only $60 more than a Ryobi which died on me after 2 years of occasional use. This is Solid, Solid, solid.! Not light weight but for me (70 year old man) was easy to use. Very powerful, easy to start, and Swidish made! Go for it...

Adjust the chain tension when you receive it. I started it on the second pull and let it idle for 5 minutes while putting on safety gear. It had caught fire. My fault, I shouldn't have left it alone. The friction ring for the centrifugal clutch was very hot. I bought another one and the same thing. On this one you couldn't move the chain when it wasn't running. At idle the chain did not rotate. Loosened the chain and all is fine. Cut like a knife through butter and made short work of a dead cherry tree.Properly check and adjust your tools before using them - rely on only yourself to ensure it's done correctly.

Got it for cleanup after Fiona.. Works great. Starts every time and has perfect power to weight. Love the flip up levers for opening fuel and bar oil caps.

Tres bonne scie pour les bûcherons amateurs. Je suis tres satisfait de mon achat, seul bémol la chaîne n’était pas embarquée et j’ai du ajusté la clutch pour qu’elle tourne. Je recommande à 1000 à l’heure

It's a Husqvarna need to say more, excellent engine, reliability is very very good starts on second pull everytime plus customer support is way better than Sthil

All ready to use

T screw was loose and got lost but we were able to find a replacement
