Top 5 Chinese chainsaws

On farmer forums, the topic of reliability of Chinese chainsaws is discussed until they are hoarse. Some argue that it is better to spend money once and buy a good device from a proven brand, while others object to them that for home use a reasonably inexpensive chainsaw of the same Chinese production, but without the untwisted label. Of course, no one advises in reviews to take cheap counterfeit, openly imitating the products of famous European factories - it does not even work out the cost that is asked for it. But why not save a certain amount and buy a chainsaw from one of the Chinese state-owned manufacturers?

As shown by official and user ratings, the level of confidence in products from the PRC is constantly growing. The reason for the growth is the clear progress of its technical and operational indicators. This means that under normal working conditions and honest service, there is every chance that an inexpensive chainsaw will work out both the overhaul and the full resource up to the time specified by the manufacturer. In addition to price moderation, there are other factors that are increasingly inclining consumers towards the purchase of Chinese tools:

• a large assortment of saws of different power categories;
• excellent choice of affordable consumables and spare parts;
• the unification of the majority of spare parts, allowing you to quickly put a faulty saw into operation.

However, the best evidence that petrol saw equipment from China can serve as a good tool at hand for several years of operation, are reviews of real users. Based on them, and compiled a rating of the TOP-5 of the highest quality chainsaws created in China.

Top - 5 best Chinese chainsaws

5 FORWARD FGS-4504

The place of honor in the top five is occupied by a chainsaw of a young Chinese company. Inexpensive unit gained popularity due to not only the price, but also promising performance: 45-cube motor, the presence of inertial chain brakes, anti-vibration and Easy Start systems. Another good thing: despite the low price, the tool is equipped with a Japanese carburetor Walbro with fuel injection.

However, the main points had to be removed because of the ambiguity of the feedback from the owners of this model on the forums. Most of them are pleasantly surprised by the “vitality” of the device with sufficiently high operating loads, although there are also those who complain about frequent malfunctions. However, the manufacturer honestly warns that the saw is designed exclusively for ordinary tasks, so it does not meet the extremely high expectations.

4 Huter BS-52

Another Chinese chainsaw, which, due to its powerful 2.4-strong engine and the presence of an anti-vibration system, has semi-professional status. The tire length (50 cm) and its ergonomic position on the handle of the start buttons and progas. The list of advantages can be supplemented with good balancing, automatic chain lubrication and a comfortable noise level.

In the comments on the forums, the unit is praised for its unpretentiousness to the quality of the fuel (someone even works with it on used oil) and ease of starting. There are a couple of shortcomings: an impressive weight and leakage of oil from the tank. However, hands, after working with a chainsaw, judging by the reviews, practically do not get tired, and small leaks are eliminated by proper storage of the tool or, in extreme cases, by installing seals.

3 CHAMPION 237-16

On the forums of the entire Champion lineup, the 237th model scored the maximum number of reviews. It is characterized by the simplicity of the carburetor device and an efficient air cooling system. Thanks to the well-chosen component, the chainsaw does not require time-consuming service and money and can be used in conditions of increased loads.

If the device is properly adjusted and ready for use, it is able to perform work on stalltrees up to 30 cm in girth, preparation of logs for the installation of log cabins and sawing wood. Owners also note the good availability and interchangeability of spare parts, but complain about the fragility of regular tires and chains. However, this disadvantage is easily compensated by buying an inexpensive replaceable headset with improved performance.

2 PARTNER P340S

The company, despite its Chinese origin, originated in Sweden, and is currently in the group Husqvarna and specializes in the manufacture of low-cost (up to 15 thousand rubles) household models of chainsaws under the control of the Swedish giant. This fact clearly affects the quality of all components, ranging from plastic case and ending with a removable headset.

What users especially like is good reliability. Gas powered tools withstands most of the operational flaws and easily cope with bucking logs 25–30 cm in diameter in diameter and sawing 10–15 cubes of fuelwood. Of the relative shortcomings on the forums indicate a large number of fakes from unofficial sellers and a lack of rich equipment (it includes only a rolling rare-toothed chain, no dimensional capacity).

1 Forte FGS 5200 Professional

This chain saw took the lead due to the impressive power (3.1 kW) of the engine and an impressive amount of positive feedback on the build quality. Among the advantages of this model - equipment economical carburetor Walbro, a 45 cm long tire and a chain of an American company Oregon. For the safety of the worker, the handbrake is installed, which will stop the chain in the event of a kickback.

In the forums about the chain petrol saws "Forte" speak of inexpensive, but sturdy tools that fully cope with their tasks. Thus, when filling petrol and oil according to the instructions, the chainsaw does not smoke and economically consumes fuel. In its work, its weight (5.8 kg) is practically not felt in the hands, so the unit is used not only in everyday life, but also in small wood-processing shops.
