Excellent disposable chainsaw Jan 05, 2007 By Kurt Johnson
This chainsaw has worked out well for us on our Avocado ranch. We bought 5 of them and let abusive employees use them on and off for about 5 years. We're down to three that still run. You can buy a replacement bar and a few chains for them and the engines will run for quite a while. After the engine goes, just toss them. We used to have an expensive Stihl which lasted even less time and then would have cost $250 to rebuild. We just threw it away and started using disposables. If you're not going to use it for a while, drain all the gas out or you'll be sorry.

A great little saw Dec 13, 2007 By D. McCue "Bigskeeter"
It's a Poulan. It has a powerful, but compact 34cc engine that didn't complain too much starting for the first time in 28 degree (F) weather. The instructions for starting the chainsaw are in pictures by the handle. The instruction manual was a little more technical, but cold starts are a snap. You pull the handle five times, then pump the little primer bulb 6 times, then pull till it starts.

It's got an Anti-vibration handle on it that really makes for comfortable operation of the saw. It is small, but you can feel its 11.8 pound mass after welding it for a couple of hours. The vibration is very low. The "sweet spot" on the cutting chain is right where you'd expect it to be. It is noisy, so wear ear plugs. The operation of the saw is cleaner than I expected. It directed saw dust away from me, but some dust did accumulate in the area where automatic chain oiler works - not an excessive amount, but it was noticeable. You definitely want to wear eye protection when using this or any saw. The instruction manual spends a lot of time discussing kickback. If you are careful and pay attention to your technique, you can minimize kickback and other problems. There is an inertia activated chain brake on the saw just in case though.

This saw is small and inexpensive. It's got plenty of power too. It fits well with the type of work that I need it for. I cleared the very large Bradford Pear tree in my front yard that was split open by an ice storm in just an hour and a half.

Highly recommend it for odd jobs and occasional work. Mine came with a one Year Guarantee too. The Poulan Chainsaw is Made in the USA.

Praise for Poulan chain saw Jul 03, 2008 By NativeTexan "David"
Still own one of these saws, bought back when it was called a "Woodsman", nearly ten years ago. Have cut I don't know how many large trees down (some I had to walk around with it) since we moved to the country, and had many Live Oaks that developed oak wilt. Not light duty work, I've worked the heck out of it, cutting those large trees all the way to firewood. Still running, still strong. Have replaced the bar twice, the chain three times. Used it yesterday and it was leaking chain oil. Took it apart and cleaned it, think I fixed it. Will find out later today. If I didn't, I'm glad to find that I can buy another one like it right here on Amazon.

Wouldn't consider buying another brand, after the success I've had with this one.

Complete waste of money May 02, 2011 By J. Deweese
The Poulan P3416 16-inch 34cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw was shipped on Mar 28, 2011 and received about Apr 4 or 5. After reading the instructions I used the enclosed can of oil and mixed with 1 gallon of premium (no ethanol) fuel. Filled chain oiler and was pleased to get it started exactly as advertised.

I happily used the saw, refilling the chain oiler with each re-fueling. On Apr 20th it started to quit in mid use. By the end of the day I could no longer get it to start.

The following Monday I took it to a Poulan service and today they called to report the cylinder scored. They also noted that warranty would be refused. Repair will cost more than original cost.

I'm very unhappy! Didn't even use the original gallon of fuel! A total waste of money!

Update, May 4, 2011.
Imagine my surprise to find a brand new chain saw sitting on my sidewalk! Turns out that, even though I had no communication from Amazon (I had left them an e-mail with the above facts) they responded by replacing the saw! I'd sure give Amazon a 5 star rating for customer service.

I'll wait, if the saw performs as expected and without destroying itself, I'll update this review. (Haven't even tried to start it yet!)

Great saw for the price Jun 16, 2009 By Rabid consumer "Woo hoo!!!!!"
This is the first and only chainsaw I've ever owned. I bought it in 1999, I believe from Home Depot when they still sold Poulan in San Diego. I used it for clearing an easement that was heavily overgrown with sucker trees, and for lots of tree trimming and clearing of downed branches.

I've run through 2 blades, so it hasn't been VERY heavily used, but for the average homeowner I can't imagine you needing anything more than this saw. For the money, it's a bargain. Definitely drain it for storage as others have mentioned. I'm currently in the process of hunting down replacement fuel line, as it has crumbled after a few years of improper storage. I had to fully dissasemble and clean the carb and the rest of the unit, but it still works (well, it did last summer so I'm sure it will still run with the new lines installed). Highly recommended.
