Good little saw.

I am an experienced professional chainsaw user, now retired.
Honestly can't see how they can produce and market such a useful little saw for the price.
Easy to assemble and starts well from cold as long as you follow the instructions.
I've used it to reduce the height of a couple of tall hedges and small trees as well as cutting firewood for the woodburner and for restoring some neglected coppice.
The saw works well although you need to check the chain tension regularly as it appears the chain is prone to coming loose.
Sharpening file isn't worth using but you can buy a really good quality replacement one for under £2 at any good hire shop or garden machinery dealer (also available on eBay!).
Don't expect Stihl or Husqvarna build quality but a perfectly functional saw and comes with a two year warranty. Fine for the occasional user or as a back up saw for a professional.
Would I buy it again? Yes. Recommend to a friend? Yes, but better suited to someone with chainsaw experience or training. Only use it if you are competent, chainsaws can be dangerous. Use appropriate hearing/eye protection and safety clothing.
Only thing stopping me giving it five stars was the fact that the seller dropped the price significantly just after I bought mine. Just my luck!Read full review

Disappointed

The instructions were sparse and virtually unreadable. I asked if there was a you tube video, got no response. Emailed again, then told an engineer would ring me. Never heard anything. Found a you tube for similar chainsaw which helped me but found it very difficult to set up without proper instructions. The chain continues to slip off regularly. This may be due to me not setting it up properly or a fault. With a lack of information I do not know which is true. Read full review

Another Parker Gem

Saw was put to use straight away hours after delivery. Simple to put together, although I know my way round a saw. The only thing I did was sharpen the dog spikes (very blunt and rounded), personal preference really, but handy in the wood I was climbing in. Works fine, no complaints at the price. Pull starter went limp a few times on max pull (jiggle about and the spring worked), got the feeling it wont last long. to be seen. Oil pump not amazing did have to check twice as the chain sounded dry, but it does oil. Ran a little fat out of the box, didn't effect use ran but a small tweek it was spot on.
Two chains is nice, not sure of quality but sharp, done a couple of full tree limbing jobs already without re-sharpening.
Nice light weight saw great for climbing especially a second or spare top handled.
Its not top brand but then your not paying top brand prices, so cant really be compared to those saws (Its blatantly not top brand quality) . Absolutely wouldn't think twice about buying another at the price and it does exactly what its meant for well so far!Read full review

Wow

Struggling to get my hands on a top handle saw I turned to ebay il be honest I had some doubts after using brand named big saws but I thought I would risk this as it was cheap and has a decent warranty so glad I bought this and didn't spend the money on a stihl well done parker I will be buying more of your products.
First impressions were a little doubtful but I have tested this beast today and it is an animal perfect for real work this is more than a hobby sawRead full review

Back up chain saw

Brought this to take over from my still while it is being repaired.
Cool little saw seems great for its price. Ideal as a part time saw.
Only 4 star's because I haven't put it through its paces yet.Read full review
