BLACK+DECKER Electric Chainsaw Corded, 18-Inch, 15-Amp Lightweight Chain Saw with Automatic Oiler

This 18-inch corded electric chainsaw provides a straightforward way to handle yard maintenance, tree pruning, and cutting branches up to 18 inches thick. Powered by a 15-amp motor, it eliminates the hassle of mixing fuel or waiting for batteries to recharge, making it well suited for homeowners managing seasonal yard cleanup near an electrical outlet.

Starting the tool is simple thanks to the push-button ignition, which gets the motor running immediately. During operation, a low-kickback bar and chain design works to minimize the force and frequency of sudden kickbacks. The built-in auto-oiling mechanism keeps the chain continuously lubricated, and an integrated oil level indicator window lets you check your fluid levels at a glance without opening the reservoir.

Maintenance and handling are designed around user convenience. The tool-free tensioning system lets you adjust chain slack quickly, helping to prevent unnecessary wear or damage. To keep your work uninterrupted, an integrated cord retainer secures the connection to your power source so the plug will not pull loose during use. When your tasks are complete, the included guide bar scabbard covers the blade for safer storage and transport.

As a corded electric model, its primary limitation is mobility, since you must remain plugged into a power source with an extension cord throughout your work. It is also limited to cutting wood up to 18 inches in thickness.

Verdict: This chainsaw is an excellent match for homeowners who need a dependable, push-start tool for trimming branches and general yard cleanup within reach of an outlet. Backed by a 2-year limited warranty, it offers straightforward maintenance and reliable power for everyday property upkeep.
