I can't seem to find the weight of this item. I'm a small woman, but do a lot of outdoor work. Have a B.& D. tiny chain-saw I use. Will this be too much for me?

It is not really heavy, trick is hold the pole straight up, than it's not so easy. Taking brakes between each branch/cut may help. My daughter used it and it was easy for her, I used it and had to take break after just one branch. Bottom line - it's managable if you take your time.

I bought this item about a year ago and it is light withought the pole. I am about 6 ft and with the pole was cumbersome for me and probably more for a female. If your going to use it alot with the pole then yes a great product.

Dear Judy, This tool is not easy to maneuver. The chainsaw weighs about 20 lbs. and the pole is long, w/c makes it even harder to maneuver. I would strongly recommend you to hire a gardener to do the job. Hope this helps.

The saw weighs about 5 lbs. and the fiberglass pole extension another 2 or 3 lbs. for a total of about 8 lbs. It is quite light for this class of saws. If you hold it vertically it isn't much of a problem but the more you reach with it the harder it gets due to leverage. I put the saw on a branch and let the weight of the saw do the cutting. I bought it because of it's light weight and I can't handle heavy things due to a bad shoulder. It does cut beautifully though as long as you have your feet on the ground. I would not use it on a ladder though. Ro

the chainsaw by itself is light but attached to end of pole can be sort of heavy but a lot lighter than a gas one. It says it weighs 14 pounds total but most of it is in saw--lay on branch first .then cut--not too heavy that way

if you do a lot of outdoor work you will can use it, i am a small men and i use it, some times its a little bit difficult but just sometimes

Attempted to weigh it, and I come up with something around 2.5 lbs. for the upper (dark colored) motor/grip part attached to the blade assembly (the long, lower metallic piece). It is substantial feeling but pretty easy to handle. You could (and should?) use two hands while operating it.

This was a gift for a friend who was doing the same thing. I don't know the weight or size, but from what I can remember it is very lite wt & sm enough for a survival kit. I will get this same one when I put mine together! I hope this helps.

My girlfriend weighs 100lbs and she didn't have any issues with the kickback cutting some trees in the back, honestly I can't think of any reason to go with a low kick back chain if you need any serious cutting done. My saw came with a low kickback and I couldn't get anything done. Replaced it with one of these and cut through several trees in the same time it took to do one with the low kickback and I did it with less effort because you are holding the saw a lot longer per cut with a low kick back chain. Low kickback chains make the work exhausting, I hate em. If you're elderly or a small child, maybe low kickback is the way to go, but then why are you using a chainsaw lol.

Hi Annebear,I wish that I could respond to your question the truth is I returned it because it was not the design that I expected. But if I remember correctly I don't think it weighed very much. Hope this answers your question.My apologiesMarifa58

The chain is made of a heavy gauge, I don't know the exact weight limit but I believe it would hold a lot. I can tell you it will hold an adult with no problem because I purchased this swing for myself to use as a tree swing. I use it regularly and I like that the lower part of the chain is coated in plastic making it a comfortable hand grip.

I would say that the chainsaw weighs 6-8lbs. My wife handles it fairly easily and for me it can be a one-handed tool if I wanted to be that stupid. It is not heavy enough to wear you out quickly so it can be used for a long period of time. It is very easy to use and does a great job. We have cut 4 trees down, 8-12" diameter, plus cutting all of the wood in small enough pieces that our town will pick it up and I haven't had to sharpen the chain but once. The tightener works very well so you, as the user, don't have to work so hard maintaining the saw.

It's a bit lighter than 65lbs. Definitely need some muscle to move it, though. This table saw is designed as a portable saw. The alleged 123lbs would disqualify it as a portable saw.

It's two pounds anyway, and if you've hiked any distance with a 50+ pound backpack then you know that weight is everything. Items like this add up, I really like to have a shovel around while camping but if this one gets to heavy then maybe i'll leave it in the car next time. Only time will tell. The construction of this particular shovel is very good and I'll update my review if heavy use takes its toll on it. Good Luck.

It weights 7 pounds. It's light, however with the pole you get tired (I'm a woman). I loved it anyways. It is a lot faster to trim branches from the trees and I don't have to claim ladders ... I recommend it to you :)

I haven't weighed it, but weight is one of the factors i considered buying this. Using it one handed was no problem at all. I checked it out in person at lowe s before i bought. 7 pounds or so sounds about right.

I have had the chain come off once since I owned it. It was my fault cutting a limb too big for the saw which it got caught and knocked of track. Also, just remember after use check the tension with the easy to use tool provided. I should also mention the chain did not come off when I cleared a whole front yard with thick limbs and vines and a backyard with large shrubs and tree limbs.

I am not sure how long the chain is but we have hung the swing from a very tall oak tree branch. I don't know the manuf. recommended weight but I know it will hold at least 350 lbs. hung from a strong tree branch. Probably best to contact the manufacture for answers to both questions.

I'm sorry. I just purchased it and have not had the opportunity to try it. I do however like the weight of it. Not too heavy, not to light. Should be great to work with.

Weight should be listed in the description,but I can carry it around all day.It is light as a feather as far as chain saws go...

I'm not sure what it weighs, but I'm a 66 year old woman who carried it to the car when I had to have it fixed. I do however think it would be awkward to carry to worksites.. They do make this saw on wheels specific for worksites, might be a better buy.

Sorry, I threw out the package and have no way to weigh it. However, I'm an active but not strong 78 year old woman. I could not handle our big weed blower any longer. This one is very light and manageable and I love it. Cleans off my porches and leaves on the patio, has 2 speeds. Hope this helps.
