Boat Anchor
Date:January 13, 2012
If you plan on doing some fishing and need a 10 pound boat anchor then this is the saw for you. My previous saw was a wildthing and for 12 years it cut at least 10 cord per year so i bought another 1 but right from the start it would bog down, stall and spit and sputter and the tension adjustment screw bent in the first week. Poulan was nice enough to redesign the saw so parts aren't interchangable either. Spend the little extra and buy a better saw because you really do get what you pay for.

Didn't work

Followed the instructions. Saw started, but would only run at half throttle. After warming up, if you let it idle it would die after a few seconds. If you used full throttle you could hear it was barely able to maintain it, and as soon as you touched wood it died. Sounded like a carb adjustment issue, but I won't touch that on a new saw. The pull start was also short and jerky (maybe many newer saws are like this) and I didn't like it. I understand you get what you pay for, but it has to at least run for a little while. I didn't buy a paperweight. Luckily I took it back with no issues. Now I'm trying to figure out if it's better to buy cheap saws every few years or if I can get a mid range saw that will actually last like my older saws used to.

Not reliable
Date:November 19, 2011
I bought a "Wild Thing" after my old chainsaw bit the dust. The first Wild Thing would not even start new out of the box, so I bought it back for a replacement. The second Wild Thing started up and I cut a few 3" branches but seemed to overhead and cut out. Long story short, with only about 90 minutes of running time, and it cut off frequently and restart was a hassle, the second saw now will not start. Save yourself the frustration and buy a higher end saw, you may actually spend more time cutting wood than trying to get a Wild Thing to run. Very disappointed. I'm now looking at a Husky or Stihl at 3x the price.

Severely dissapointed
Date:November 4, 2011
My background: 32 years USMC, aircraft mech, automotive mech, quality assurance inspector and more along same lines. Short and sweet; used for less than 3 hours on 4 separate occasions over a two year period. Died while using and took to chainsaw repairman. Repairman didn't even want to waste his time "they're cheaply made and cost more to repair than buying a new one". Still waiting to hear back from him however if it's more than $40 to repair, it's not worth it. Carburetor/clutch cost to repair double the cost of saw. If you need a chain saw, put out the extra hundred and get a brand professionals use. Some things you just can't trust in "homeowner" size.
