Black&Decker GKC1825L20

Cordless saw for home or garden

If you need a good tool for home use, then Black & Decker products should be considered first. This postulate can be proven using the example of the Black & Decker GKC1825L20, a small chain saw powered by batteries. It is high quality and very user friendly. Judge for yourself: the tool is compact and lightweight (the device weighs only 3.1 kg), it has an automatic lubrication system (you just need to remember to add oil to the tank), a keyless mechanism for adjusting chain tension and a tire fastening unit that allows you to install and remove the blade without the use of wrenches and screwdriver. The tool is equipped with an Oregon saw set (it is believed that the tires and chains of this company are of standard quality and are perhaps the best in the world).

Nuances and comments

Let’s dilute the compliments with a couple of comments that should be taken into account by those wishing to buy a cordless saw for their home and garden. The fact is that this tool has a fairly short tire - only 250 mm. That is, this saw is not for lumberjacks. However, a 10-inch cloth is quite enough to care for the garden and prepare fuel for a wood-burning or pyrolysis boiler. The speed of the chain is also small - 3 m / s. This speed is enough to avoid “shaggy” living branches when pruning trees and shrubs, but you can’t count on particularly high productivity.

Advantageous option

By the standards of good cordless saws, the price of the Black & Decker GKC1825L20 is considered low. Moreover, this cost includes a charger and battery (such equipment is sold in online stores, as a rule, without batteries, which must be purchased separately for an additional fee). The complete battery has a capacity of 2 Ah. The manufacturer claims that on one charge you can make 220 cuts of branches with a diameter of 35 mm - you can trim almost the entire garden in one go.
