  • Our take on the Craftsman CMXGSAMY462S

    The Craftsman CMXGSAMY462S is a 46cc gas chainsaw with a 20-inch bar, aimed at homeowners clearing storm damage, cutting firewood and felling small trees. Its 2.8 cu in two-stroke engine and anti-vibration handle put it in the same class as other 45–50cc homeowner saws, but it is heavy at 15 lb and has small fuel and oil tanks. Reviewers treat it as a capable occasional-use saw rather than a pro tool.

    Best forHomeowners clearing fallen limbs and storm debrisCutting firewood from medium logsFelling small to medium treesBuyers who want a 20-inch bar without pro-saw complexity
    Pros
    • 20-inch bar handles logs and trunks that smaller saws stall on
    • 46cc engine gives enough torque for bucking medium hardwood
    • Anti-vibration handle reduces fatigue in longer cutting sessions
    • Kickback guard and chain brake add a safety margin for casual users
    • Straightforward two-stroke setup familiar to anyone who has run a gas saw
    Cons
    • Heavy at 15 lb, so overhead and limbing work tires you quickly
    • Small fuel and oil tanks mean frequent refueling and bar-oil top-ups
    • Gas engine needs mixed fuel, a choke ritual and seasonal maintenance
    • Louder and smokier than battery saws; hearing and eye protection are mandatory
    • Cold starts and tuning can be fussy for first-time gas owners

    What reviewers say

    Owners describe it as a solid value gas saw for occasional yard work, with enough power for a 20-inch bar. Complaints center on weight, frequent refueling and hard starting after storage.

    What people mention
    • PowerPraisedOwners say the 46cc engine pulls a 20-inch bar through medium logs without bogging down.
    • WeightCriticisedAt 15 lb it is tiring for limbing and overhead cuts, and several owners mention fatigue.
    • Fuel tankCriticisedThe small tank forces frequent refueling during longer cutting sessions.
    • StartingMixedIt fires easily when warm but can be stubborn on a cold start or after storage.
    • VibrationPraisedThe anti-vibration handle keeps hand numbness manageable on longer jobs.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Craftsman CMXGSAMY462S good for a homeowner?
    Yes, for occasional storm cleanup, firewood and small felling. It has enough power for a 20-inch bar, but its weight and gas upkeep make it a poor fit for light trimming.
    How does it compare with a smaller 16-inch saw?
    The 20-inch bar cuts larger logs and stumps in one pass, but the saw is heavier and thirstier. If most of your work is limbs and brush, a smaller, lighter saw is easier to handle.
    Does it need mixed fuel?
    Yes. It is a two-stroke gas engine, so it runs on gasoline mixed with two-stroke oil. Buy pre-mixed fuel or mix carefully; straight gas will damage the engine.
    What safety features does it have?
    It has a chain brake with a kickback guard and an anti-vibration handle. You still need chaps, eye and ear protection, and a helmet.
    What comes in the box?
    Typically the powerhead, bar, chain and a scabbard, plus a tool for bar nuts. Fuel and bar oil are not included, so buy two-stroke mix and bar oil before first use.
    Where is the Craftsman CMXGSAMY462S cheapest?
    At Ace Hardware, for $249.00, as of our latest check.
