Expert opinion

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the WEN 4017 Electric Chainsaw. I was looking for a reliable and efficient tool to help with my landscaping projects, and I found it in this product. The motor is a 12A that rotates the Oregon chain at up to 44 feet per second, which is impressive. I like that it has a lightweight design that doesnt cause fatigue when working with it. This is great for those of us who are not used to working with heavier tools.

The auto oiling system lubricates itself, so you dont have to worry about manually doing it each time you use it. This helps extend the lifespan of the saw and makes it easier to use over extended periods of time. I also appreciate that tool free chain changes make for easy and fast chain replacement. Its great not having to constantly change out chains when they get worn down or dulled from use.

The size of this saw is great for smaller projects such as pruning trees or cutting up logs for firewood. Its also powerful enough for larger projects such as clearing brush or trimming hedges. The included components are a chain saw, power source corded electric, gasoline powered, 2.2 horsepower and item weight 10 pounds. All these features make this saw perfect for anyone who needs a reliable and efficient chainsaw in their arsenal of tools.

I think the best feature about this chainsaw is that it requires no gasoline for emission free operation. This means that you can work without worrying about polluting the environment with fumes from fuel burning engines. Plus, you will save money in the long run because you wont need to buy gas every time you want to do some work with your saw!

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to anyone who needs an efficient and reliable chainsaw for their landscaping projects or other tasks around the house or yard. Its lightweight yet powerful enough to get whatever job you have done quickly and effectively while still being easy on your wallet due to its emissions free operation. If youre looking for an economical solution that will last longer than many other chainsaws on the market today, then look no further than the WEN 4017 Electric Chainsaw!
