 Good piece of equipment for the price |
| Review Date: January 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: James Harris, St. Louis, MO |
Bought this about 6 months ago, have used it only once for about an hour. Works well on fallen limbs. I look forward to when the weather warms up when I can attempt to fell a tree with it.
Only drawback is the manual oiling mechanism. One must pump a button once every minute or sooner to keep bar and chain properly lubricated.
Not a bad piece of equipment for the price.

Bare-Bones Chainsaw
|
| Review Date: March 26, 2008 |
| Reviewer: typicalcustomer, USA |
The Poulan 1630 is an absolutely bare-bones chainsaw. This tool has no frills or extra features. It is just a simple little chainsaw.
At the time of this posting, the Amazon product description claimed the Poulan 1630 chainsaw has an auto-oiling system. This is not true. The Poulan 1630's chain must be oiled after every ten seconds of use by holding down the oil cap button for three seconds. This is an inconvenience that distracts the chainsaw operator. I think we all agree that distractions should be kept to a minimum when using a chainsaw.
The designers of the Poulan 1630 must have spent very little time on ergonomics. The chainsaw's left-hand grip is very small and may cause hand cramping after several minutes of continual use. The safety switch is awkwardly located, forcing the right thumb to thrust forward during operation.
Safety features are minimal, and the hand guard is too small.
The Poulan 1630 is inexpensive, but still fails to provide much value for the money. For 50% more money, you can probably find a much better chainsaw. (Just don't make the mistake of buying a McColloch.) |
