Mcculloch CS 42S Petrol Chainsaw, 42cc, 16 Inch Bar Length, 56 Drive Links, OxyPower, Soft Start, Anti-Vibration System, Fully Assembled

Absolute brilliant saw, can use it all day with no problems and very easy to use and the chain lasted a very long time as long as you sharpen it properly. Only real problem is the petrol tank is a bit small and you need to top it up every 30 minutes or so other than that there’s nothing wrong with it.

Brilliant - the only niggles at new ... 1. is that the claw is not attached, which makes no sense, Only takes a couple of minutes to fit though 2. on the first startup, it would not run at full speed, and I had to semi-squeeze the trigger, but after a while, it sorted itself out and is now perfect However, they always good are when they are new - time will tell if it is worth it. For £130 I would be happy for it just to last 5 years, but it does feel quality and I suspect it may last longer

I bought this small chainsaw for diy use to cut logs for a woodburner. It is a replacement for an 8 year old McCullock chainsaw which sadly died. I have just used it for the first time and found it very easy and comfortable to use and efficient for the required job. It seems quite powerful for a small machine. So far very pleased.

Where to begin. Was recommended this product by an agent so bought the 42S for personal use. Very easy to start and get going for the first time, but then everything started to go wrong. The saw got through 3 litres of oil in a few hours. The oil was coming out the saw spitting on everything in site...including myself. The saw dust and oil then create a paste which stops the saw from working correctly. I then started to experience issues keeping the saw running and would regularly cut out whilst up a tree (the saw was full of fuel before anyone asks). The chain was cheap and wore after one cut of an relatively small conifer. It's since been in for repair, after 3 hours usage, and still isn't correct. Good value but I'd rather have spent more on a chainsaw that would last. This thing is poor and will be thrown away after a few hours of usage. Shocking quality. Cheaply manufactured and no adjustment available. AVOID!

Went for this as my frst chainsaw due to price and name, I have a 20 plus year old McCullough 2 stroke strimmer that still works fine. OK, the bodywork is plastic rather than metal on more expensive models, but at the offered price this is a real bargain. It comes with an Oregon semi chisel profile chain which cuts very efficiently. It is really easy to start and when warm requires only about 1/4 of the cord pulled to jump into life. Only things to be aware of (1) the fuel tank is quite small, so you will be refilling quite often (likely more than 6 times in a full day's work) (2) the air filter doesn't seal on particularly well, so you can get dust sucked in underneath that then lodges just above the choke valve, so clean with care. It can take a 16 inch bar as well. Overall very pleased. Please do get proper training and all the necessary PPE before using any chainsaw!

Great little saw. Ideal for cutting wood for our log burner. Never fails to start.

Bought this Chainsaw in June and had used twice before the Carburettor developed a fault leaving the chainsaw inoperable. Contacted McCulloch who referred me to their local service centre who were able to repair under warranty (12 month warranty applies), however given the problem experienced within a short timeframe and with such limited use, I don't have much faith in the quality of the chainsaw. I wouldn't reorder another McCulloch product, this was bought as a replacement for a previous Black and Decker chainsaw which I had used for many years, and consider to be a better product.

Great saw. I wanted a good value saw and didn’t have the need for the high end Stihl or Huskie brands, which are excellent top notch saws, but well outside my budget. I wanted something with a known brand name, as safety is a priority with chainsaws. McCulloch is owned by Husqvarna, so that ticked the first box. The bar length and engine cc were decent and suitable for all round use on the small farm I have. I’ve had the saw now for about 6 months or so and it’s been epic! Never once failed to start, build quality is decent for the price and it powers through the small and medium sized stuff I throw at it. All in all, a great buy.

Ottimo prodotto per la sua fascia di prezzo. Non è ovviamente una motosega progettata per un utilizzo intenso ma più occasionale. Se il vostro intento è quello di curare il vostro giardino con lavori di potatura e saltuariamente di abbattimento di piccoli alberi è perfetta. Se l’uso che intendete farne è più gravoso consiglio di orientarsi su qualcosa di più potente e con una barra più lunga. Nonostante ciò l’ho usata per abbattere tre alberi malati di 15 metri di altezza per un diametro di circa 40/50 cm e con la dovuta pazienza sono riuscito a finire il lavoro senza problemi. Diciamo quindi che è perfetta per l’utilizzo per cui è stata progettata ma anche per qualcosina di più! Unica nota dolente è il filtro dell’aria piuttosto costoso come ricambio e che si sporca facilmente rendendo la carburazione non ottimale e causando perdita di potenza, tuttavia si smonta molto facilmente e basta lavarlo con un po’ di acqua calda e sapone per farlo tornare pulito quasi come nuovo! La catena è di ottima qualità e non necessita di essere affilata quotidianamente anche se mantenere sempre affilati i taglienti aiuta ad effettuare tagli migliori con minor dispiego di enrgia.

springt gut an und hat eine gute Leistung für den Holzschnitt.

Tras mucha tralla sigue igual de bien. Compacto y fiable

Très très bien pour 10 stères a l année

Ottima motosega a prezzo conveniente, macchina superiore alle mie aspettative: ideale per piccoli e medi tagli; partita al primo colpo é anche relativamente poco rumorosa; un consiglio prima di usarla: rabboccate l'olio lubrificante per la catena e regolatela, poiché viene consegnata con la catena lenta e pochissimo olio.
