Cordless home chain saw

The Bosch UniversalChain 18 cordless chain saw belongs to a range of DIY tools designed for use in the home workshop or in the backyard. It is compact and light (a weight of 3 kg for a chainsaw is considered very light). The tool has a well-thought-out design and excellent ergonomics. It is convenient to hold it with at least one hand, at least with two. Thanks to keyless chain tensioning and blade attachment systems, as well as automatic and precisely metered oil supply to the chain, even those who have never had experience with such equipment can easily handle the maintenance and use of this tool.

Features and Details

Although the chain speed is low (4 m / s), the tool cuts live branches well without getting stuck in wet wood. The secret to reliable operation is a high-quality Oregon chain. It is chrome-plated and well sharpened, and if you do not “kill” it with nails or other hard objects, then the chain will last a very long time. Saw equipment of this size (for 33 links), by the way, is not very common on sale - another reason to take care of the chain that comes with the saw.

At the tip of the bar there is a protective tip with teeth to grab and hold the branch while sawing it off. Thanks to its presence, it is very convenient for the user to work in the garden, and damage to trees during the pruning process is minimized. But it should be noted that the tip reduces the working length of the tire, which is already short - only 200 mm. Therefore, the maximum diameter of a log that can be sawn with this tool is 135 mm. That is, there is no point in buying a Bosch UniversalChain 18 saw to fell trees or work with large logs. But it does an excellent job with the vast majority of tasks on a smaller scale. With its help, you can cut firewood for a boiler or potbelly stove, saw boards and beams for building a gazebo or building a bench, as well as take care of the orchard near the house and in the country.

Options for different wallets

The tool comes with a charger and battery. The capacity of the standard battery (2.5 Ah) is enough to cut wood with a diameter of 75 mm 40 times in a row. If you already have a Bosch battery from the Power for ALL family in your household, then you can buy a Bosch UniversalChain 18 saw in the version without a battery and save a lot of money.
