Good value, Great machine
I live in a rural area of southern West Virginia on about 30 acres of woods. I need a chainsaw primarily for cutting up dead trees and clearing storm damage. My old chainsaw died after cutting a lot of wood and it was time to get a new one. After reading the reviews online, I purchased this chainsaw at Walmart yesterday. I spent the afternoon pouring over the manual I downloaded from the product page at Walmart.com, which gives more detailed information than the paper manual that comes with it. I tried the chainsaw out this morning and found that, of all the different models I have owned, it is the easiest to use. It started up with very few pulls and cut through some fairly large logs like a hot knife through butter. The controls are ergonomically placed and the machine is well balanced, making precise cutting very controllable. I was able to carve out a channel to place one log on top of another to form a bench. I like the nose guard and it will definitely help with cutting stumps close to the ground. Its also a benefit having an included chain shroud, which makes carrying it safer. I included the saw in the pictures to give a sense of scale.

    Good for the Price - Youtube Review Available
    I found this chainsaw to be a good deal for the price. The vibration reduction was a particularly nice feature. Check out my review and tree cutting test on my Youtube channel DavidCanMakeThat.

    Good but poor chain not reseat into bar.
    Seemed good for small shrubs, etc. Only used a couple days when chain came off. When trying to fix realized the chain may be very poor quality as noticed one section of it would not reseat into bar. Was very surprised by this but is why returned but also may want to get a bigger one later on.

    Best purchase made
    There wasn't anything to dislike about this product besides being sent in such a huge box. This thing gets the job done chain may come off every once and a while. It's lightweight and gets the job done. Have been using it to cut down trees of all chainsaws to get this is the best one.

    Don't waste your money
    Only used two times since purchase and the plastic housing just outside the chain has broken. Now it won't hold the chain properly and can't tighten it down. Chain now either seizes or falls off immediately after cranked. I could have purchased wood already cut for me at this price.

    Worth buying
    Great saw for after storm clean up. A little challenging to start but runs and cuts smooth. Good size, plus guard on tip is a nice safety feature for inexperienced users.

    Great features, great price
    The Black Max 38 cc 2Cycle Chain Saw has great features. The non vibration feature is great when using this chain saw for an extended period of time. Our hands didnt get tored when cutting and taking down bamboo trees. The safer system, the brake is a great feature for quick shut off. The plastic sleeve for.rhe chain, I will reused when storing. This isnliggt weight in comparison to other models. The size is perfect for cutting down trees. Well built amd sturdy. Did need too much gas to get our bamboo tree down, cut it down fast. Fits good in the hand.

    Nice saw to have around
    The Black Max Sixteen Inch Chain Saw is a nice Saw to have around for your cutting needs,it is a two cycle,Thirty Eight CC engine for the ultimate power,it has Anti-Vibe System for increased user comfort.It is an automatic oilier to help extend the bar and chain life.It has the chain brake and the tip guard for a safer use.It came with the Two cycle engine lubricant,combination wrench,Blade cover,Scabbard,and the operations manual.We have an old pear tree that is in the back yard,the fruit on it is not tasty to eat and it has a lot of damage to it from storms and insects and is splitting in apart,which is common for these types of trees so this saw was a good choice to take it down and it worked very well on this job,on the trunk with cut it in smaller sections to keep the saw from having to over work the saw and put it in a bind,did great now have some extra wood for the fireplace,we still have some stump to finish off but we have not had a problem with it,this spring we will use it to cut some of the limbs in the pecan tree that got some storm damage.We had to vary on the starting instructions it would not start after trying several time my husband tried a different method and it cranked right up,but i think that is a given on any gas powered chain saws.I like this very much and a great saw to have in the shop.

    Handy chainsaw for work around the house!
    I just recently recieved the "Black Max 38cc 2-Cycle Engine 16-inch Gas Chainsaw" from the wonderful sparks program! I was soo excited to get this product and I'm so glad I did. I have been needing to clean up some trees around the house so this was the perfect time to use it! To start off it is a 2 cycle gas powered chainsaw as the title mentions. It did really well cutting just about anything you would want chopped up. Since it isn't the best chainsaw out there though it does tend to bog down if you strain it pretty good. But it works really well for small brush, chopping up wood, cutting down smaller sized trees or simple things around the house of that sort. If you have to get a chainsaw and use it all day everyday this is not the chainsaw for you. The Black Max chainsaw is good for simple homeowner stuff for cleaning up the property but not to rely on for heavy jobs. If it is an emergency this would be something decent to have nearby, it is better than not having anything at all. It just doesn't have the power or ease the top brands have. Also the nose guard at the end of the chainsaw gets in the way of cutting sometimes and can get you hung up depending on what you're cutting. It is not cheap quality, I actually am surprised of how well it is made. Starting it up didn't take long at all and after warming it up it ran for quite awhile. On one tank of gas I think I was able to chop up 4 or 5 dead standing trees and also get about 4 or 5 hours of work out of it. The chain and bar stay lubricated well while working as long as you keep oil in it. I only had to fill it up the first time before using it. The size and weight of this chainsaw isn't bad either. At 11lbs it isn't too difficult to handle and maintain while working. When you purchase this it also comes with a 3oz. bottle of oil to mix with a gallon of gas before you use it. And a spark plug wrench and also an adjuster all in one to tighten the chain when needed. So overall I think this chainsaw did pretty well with the work I needed to get done. It's no top notch brand by any means but it gets the job done and it's reliable when you need it.
