- Is the Garvee 58cc chainsaw worth it at $60.28?
- At $60.28 at Walmart it is one of the cheapest ways to get 58cc and a 20-inch bar. Expect to spend time on tuning and maintenance, and do not count on dealer service.
- How does it compare with a name-brand 50cc saw?
- It has more displacement and a longer bar on paper, but brands like Stihl and Husqvarna add chain brakes, anti-vibration and dealer support. The Garvee wins on price only.
- What fuel mix does it need?
- A 58cc two-stroke like this typically runs a 40:1 or 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mix. Check the manual that ships with the saw before the first tank.
- What comes in the box?
- Usually the powerhead, bar, chain, bar cover and a tool kit. Confirm the listing includes the bar and chain, since some gas saws are sold as powerheads only.
- When is the price lowest?
- This saw is already discounted 40% from Walmart's $100.28 regular price. Gas chainsaws tend to drop further in late fall and winter, outside firewood season.
- Can a homeowner handle a 20-inch bar?
- A 20-inch bar is fine for felling small trees and bucking firewood, but it is heavy for limbing overhead. A shorter bar is easier to control for beginners.
