About this deal

Very surprised at the build quality and features of this chainsaw, it's German designed and built in China, but don't confuse it with some of the unbranded Chinese throw away machines available.

Compare this chainsaw to the others that I tested and you’ll see that it’s one of the most expensive. However, for what you’re paying, you’re getting a fantastic machine that’s not only suitable for light garden work, but can also be used for heavy-duty tasks. That said, as I mentioned earlier, this chainsaw is very similar to the P1PE that I tested. If you’re on a tight budget, then the P1PE, or even the ParkerBrand, is the one I’d recommend. However, if you’re willing to spend just a little bit more on a reliable and trustworthy brand, then the Hyundai is more than worth it. Before I could get started, I had to assemble the chainsaw. Fortunately, this didn’t take long – I had it all put together in less than ten minutes. All you need to do is insert the bar and chain, which was made easier by the fact that this chain didn’t need to be unravelled. All the tools that you’ll need for assembly are also supplied with the chainsaw. The minimal assembly required for this chainsaw left me impressed right from the start. It only took about ten minutes in total to fit the bar and chain on, and then another few minutes to pour in fuel and oil. The fact that ParkerBrand has included a comprehensive tool kit with this machine makes the assembly process much faster.

This chainsaw is very similar (almost identical) in design to the P1PE chainsaw that I also tested. It has a large trigger, an on/off button, a choke button, and a primer bubble. However, the Hyundai does also come with a decompression button. I loved that this chainsaw had a 50 cm (20”) bar, along with a chain that felt much sturdier than some of the others that I’ve used. This isn’t a chain that’s going to stretch easily. Most petrol chainsaws will be designed with a comfortable, grippy handle. You should also look for anti vibration to minimise discomfort. Fitness to Operate a Petrol Chainsaw I found this chainsaw to be comfortable and easy to use. At 7kg, it is noticeably heavier than some of the others that I reviewed, but this is down to its large engine and long bar. If you’d prefer something lighter and easier on the arms, you’d need to sacrifice one of these. It surprised me to see how similar this chainsaw was to the Hyundai machine that I also reviewed, especially when you take the big price difference into account. This one costs quite a bit less, with the only real difference being that it doesn’t have a decompression button, which the Hyundai does. Is a decompression button worth paying the extra money for? In my opinion, no, which is why this machine really does offer amazing value for money. The fact that it comes with two chains, a carry bag, maintenance tools, and a two year manufacturer’s warranty adds to its value even more. Its high performance capabilities are likely down to its exceptional power. It has a 62cc, 3.5HP 2-stroke petrol engine. Again, this puts it right up there with many of the higher-end and pricier models, such as the Hyundai that I also tested.

You can tell that this is a powerful chainsaw as soon as you start to use it. This is all thanks to its 62cc 2-stroke petrol engine, which has been designed to be eco-friendly and fuel-efficient. It gives the machine a rapid cutting speed, pushing it into the professional realm. Design: A well-crafted petrol chainsaw prioritised ergonomics, offering users a comfortable handle and grip. Models equipped with anti-vibration or cushioned handles received top marks as these features enhanced user comfort during extended use. Balanced weight distribution plays a crucial role in manoeuvrability and control, so models that considered and executed this were given better marks. The first step is to ensure you’re wearing the right clothing. Protective clothing such as appropriate trousers, ear defenders and a helmet are essential. Petrol powered models are very loud and can damage your hearing if used for too long. Machine Mart offer a range of petrol chainsaws, ideal for felling small trees, cutting logs for the fire, or for pruning jobs. We have more heavy duty models suitable for heavy duty domestic and light trade work. We also offer an electric chainsaws, that are lightweight and comfortable yet still able to cope with demanding jobs and a wide range of chainsaw chains and other accessories. In terms of performance, this Einhell chainsaw shines. It starts easily and was able to slice through everything that I asked it to. Due to the length of the bar, the maximum trunk diameter that I used this chainsaw on was around 80 cm (32”), and it cut through those without any problems. If you have larger trees that need to be cut, then you’ll need a larger chainsaw, but, for the average home user, this one should be able to handle everything that you need it to.

Durable. Petrol chainsaws are designed with durability in mind. They tend to be very long lasting provided they are properly maintained and cleaned. This chainsaw comes in at a pretty low price, especially when you compare it to some of the other options out there. However, Einhell is known for producing quality tools at affordable prices, so a budget-friendly cost is expected from the brand. The fact that this chainsaw is more than capable of carrying out the majority of tasks needed by the average home user, coupled with its high-quality Oregon bar and chain, makes it great value for money. Once assembled, I could clearly see that this was an Einhell product, simply because there aren’t many other brands that use such a distinctive red colour for their products. The design of this chainsaw is well thought-out – from the Oregon bar and chain, which is a sign of top quality, to the size of the bar, which is 41 cm (16”) long but slightly narrower than the other chainsaws that I reviewed. The only potential flaw that I could see was the old-fashioned metal on/off switch – all of the other chainsaws that I tested had an on/off button instead.There’s no chance you’ll accidentally slice through the cord – which can happen a lot with mains powered chainsaws! Easy to use. Once you’ve mastered starting your chainsaw, you should find it relatively easy to use Einhell is a brand that I know and love – I’ve used several of their power and garden tools before, including their electric scarifier, cordless leaf blower, and cordless chainsaw. However, no matter how good their cordless chainsaw was, I needed something a little more powerful to cope with the large trees that Storm Arwen had toppled around my farm, which is where the Einhell GC-PC 2040 came in. According to the brand, this chainsaw was made for hobby gardeners. The work that I had set out for it was a little more than “hobby”– it was a job that I would usually turn to one of my professional chainsaws for, but I had high hopes that this Einhell would be up to the task.
