Our take on the Husqvarna 120 16-inch 38 cc Gas Chainsaw

The Husqvarna 120 is a light gas chainsaw for homeowners: a 38 cc engine, 16-inch bar and about 10.7 lbs without the bar and chain. It runs an automatic oil pump and a 3/8-inch mini pitch chain, so it cuts firewood and trims limbs without the weight of a pro saw. It is simpler and cheaper-feeling than Husqvarna's 400-series saws, with no tool-free chain tensioner and no decompression valve. Owners treat it as an occasional-use saw for yard cleanup, not for felling big trees or all-day cutting.

Best forHomeowners clearing storm limbs and small treesCutting firewood from already-felled logsTrimming branches around a yardBuyers who want a light gas saw, not a pro model
Pros
  • Light enough to carry and use one-handed on small limbs
  • 16-inch bar handles logs and branches up to moderate size
  • Automatic oil pump keeps the chain lubricated without fiddling
  • Simple two-stroke engine with easy starting procedure
  • Widely supported chain and bar sizes, easy to replace
Cons
  • No tool-free chain tensioner; you need a wrench to adjust the chain
  • No decompression valve, so pull starts take some effort
  • High vibration at the handles compared with anti-vibration pro saws
  • Small oil tank means frequent refills on longer jobs
  • Loud at 95 dB(A) at the operator's ear; hearing protection is required

Questions and answers

Is the Husqvarna 120 good for felling trees?
It can drop small trees and buck limbs, but 38 cc is modest for large trunks. For bigger felling jobs, step up to a larger-displacement saw.
What bar and chain does it use?
It ships with a 16-inch bar and 3/8-inch mini pitch, .050 gauge chain (S93G). Bars from 14 to 18 inches are listed as compatible.
Does it have a tool-free chain tensioner?
No. You adjust chain tension with a wrench on the bar nuts, so keep a scrench with you.
How much does it weigh?
About 10.7 lbs without the bar and chain. With the bar, chain and fluids it is heavier, so plan for that when carrying it.
What fuel mix does it take?
It is a two-stroke engine and needs gasoline mixed with two-stroke oil. Use fresh mix and follow the ratio in the manual.
Is it a good first chainsaw?
Yes for occasional yard work and firewood. It is simple and light, but the vibration and manual chain tensioning suit casual use better than daily cutting.
Where is the Husqvarna 120 16-inch 38 cc Gas Chainsaw cheapest?
At eBay, for $200.00, 17% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Husqvarna 120 16-inch 38 cc Gas Chainsaw?
10 stores we checked sell it, including Tractor Supply Co, eBay, nantzmowerandsmallengine.com, Brand New Mowers, JAX.
