- 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.
