Nice inexpensive chainsaw
As stated in title - this seems to be a nice inexpensive chainsaw, my reason for purchasing. Price from Amazon was less than I found elsewhere. Case was smaller than other brands for this size saw (desired); the other major comparable brand was an ugly slime green color. The saw starts easily, runs smoothly, etc. Anti-vibe handle is uncommon in this price range. My only...

Quality of saw is marginal.
Just got this McCullough saw today. It is a replacement for a 2.0 cuin. Homelite I have had for 12 years. Observations:
Packaging of saw is poorly done with it (the saw) being fully assembled and the bar sticking out (cardboard covered) to where it could be warped during shipment. Mine seemed ok but time will tell on bar wear.
Plastic covers and things like...

Nice inexpensive chainsaw, January 19, 2008

This review is from: McCulloch MCC1635A 16-Inch 35cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

As stated in title - this seems to be a nice inexpensive chainsaw, my reason for purchasing. Price from Amazon was less than I found elsewhere. Case was smaller than other brands for this size saw (desired); the other major comparable brand was an ugly slime green color. The saw starts easily, runs smoothly, etc. Anti-vibe handle is uncommon in this price range. My only caveat is the cheesy plastic choke linkage. When it breaks (and I suspect it will) it can be replaced easily with some coat-hanger wire.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: McCulloch MCC1635A 16-Inch 35cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

Just got this McCullough saw today. It is a replacement for a 2.0 cuin. Homelite I have had for 12 years. Observations:
Packaging of saw is poorly done with it (the saw) being fully assembled and the bar sticking out (cardboard covered) to where it could be warped during shipment. Mine seemed ok but time will tell on bar wear.
Plastic covers and things like the choke are really crude compared to my inexpensive old 16in Homelite that was plastic as well. The gas and oil fillers have small openings and are placed side by side which I also do not like. The caps and stays are just poor quality.
After fueling and priming, saw seemed to start ok though it was hesitant to throttle up but being as it was 33F this might be the reason. Just did not run perfect during cutting some trees (oak about 10in thick) away from their stumps due to hesitation of pickup. Though with warmer weather this may improve.
Bar is not very good quality and might need replacement with a good Oregon manufactured one.

It is too bad that things just get poorly built these days. I had looked at comparable priced chain saws and they are worse than the McCullough in terms of quality. I would only recommend this saw to the hobbyist and not to anyone needing a production saw. I doubt it will last the 12 years my old Homelite did and the 30 years my bigger 24in Super XL Homelite is still going (not used as much the last few years). New Homelite chainsaws are not worth looking at. Oh well, I never had luck with Stihls in the past so not to many brands to choose from other than the real expensive saws.

Easy to Handle, May 29, 2008

By	A. Barela (New Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: McCulloch MCC1635A 16-Inch 35cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

This chainsaw is light weight and very easy to handle. It is good for small jobs like cutting off branches and cutting down small trees. If you need a chainsaw to haul wood, I think a bigger one would be necessary.
