Using this on my 18volt cordless chain saw, it's a low kick back saw, and cordless chain saw are low rpm to begin with, so I guess that " MADE IN CHINA" part doesn't bother me, keep it well lube, before during and after each use, put ptfe dri-film on it befor putting on new sets, for around the house maintance, not a professional saw for sure. And remember to clean it up, it do get stuck easily when batteries are low.

I have both the 8 inch B&D chain saw and the pole version. The new chain is easy to install (B&D has PDFs of the users' manuals at their site if you can't find the one that came with the saw). I like having an extra chain so I can swap them out when they get dull, and sharpen the dull one when I have the time. Beats having to stop working because of a dull chain.

The B&D products, while very portable and handy for small pruning jobs, are not all that powerful even with a fresh battery charge. A sharp chain makes all the difference in getting the pruning done quickly even if the battery charge lags a bit.

For some reason, it's hard to find this at a store. Amazon comes through again!

The Black & Decker CCS818 18 volt battery powered chain saw is extremely handy. Granted it will not replace my gas powered chain saw, but I find it is very useful in places/situations where I cannot effectively use the gas powered saw. The major use I find for this product is cutting small (3" or less) branches into stove length pieces. It is great in this application. It is small and light enough that I can hold it in one hand, the branch in the other and saw. The chain that comes with the saw has remained sharp, but I know it will eventually become dull.
I have used the saw and current chain for about 6 months now; cutting Manzanita, Madrone, Oak, Cedar and some pine without any problems. The largest diameter trunk that I've cut with the saw was a 7" diameter pine that had died last summer. (Even though the saw and chain completed the job, I don't think I'll try that again).
I will be buying a replacement chain, so if the current chain becomes dull in the middle of a cutting session, it can be replaced and the job continued, then the dull chain sharpened that night. The only problem I have had so far, is finding a spare chain to have available when needed.

Wasted my time trying to find this replacement chain at my local stores plus amazon had the best price I could find on the web. Installed the new chain and my 2 year old chainsaw in like new again! Thanks Amazon!

The little Black and Decker saw wasn't sawing as well as it used to so I finally got around to putting on the new chain. It feels like having a new saw now. Installing the new B&D chain was easy; in an ambitious mood I also changed the chain on a 16" electric saw and found the Black and Decker change much easier.

I have noticed that the new chain needs to be retightened more often than an old chain. This is a small price to pay for the added sharpness and ease of cutting.
With the recent spate of high winds, I've got lots of fallen limbs to cut, and the cordless chainsaw is perfect for the job.
For those of you who are handier and more patient than I am, it would be cheaper to just sharpen your chain, but that's a job I've never tackled with any success.

What do you say about a chain for a chain saw? They look good and if they fit my saw when I make my first change they will be fine. The saw only came with one chain installed so thought it wise to have a couple on hand.

I ordered my chainsaw chain and quickly recieved saw blades for another type of equipment. When I reported the mistake the chainsaw blades were sent out immediately and my shipping charges refunded. The vendor was excellent. These are back up blades and haven't been used yet but they are the manufacturers brand and I expect them to be exactly what I need.

I installed the replacement chain on my Black & Decker pole saw and it fit perfectly.The chain cuts just as good as the original one it came with and it was a good price.

quality chain and well designed..cuts very fast and clean..this chain makes the tool..teeth on chain is very aggressive and that's whats makes this chain outstanding

Easy to install, lasts a long time, and Amazon always has it at a great price. If you own any B&D cordless saws that require a 8"'er Amazon is the only place I can find that sells them at a reasnable price and you get it in 2 days w/ prime.
