Craftsman S205 Chainsaw Review

Craftsman, S205: Features

As with all gas-powered chainsaws, you will have to top up the fuel but the Craftsman S205 does come with two-cycle engine oil when you purchase it. Although some gas-powered chainsaws can prove difficult to start, Craftsman S205 is easy to use with its pull start technology and Easy Start Technology. This means that this chainsaw should be relatively simple to operate.

This 20-Inch gas chainsaw packs a lot of power and durability. The 46cc 2-cycle engine powers the chainsaw. It pumps plenty of fuel through it to keep the motor running. This chainsaw can easily cut through large logs.

The downside to having so much power in your chainsaw is the noise. All of the power is accompanied by plenty of noise and you can expect this chainsaw to be pretty loud.

However, the chainsaw’s cushioned handle with five points anti-vibration and five-point anti -vibration are great additions that make it more convenient to use. You can cut through any wood with ease thanks to the low kickback.

For better safety and control, you can expect an automated oiler, bucking spikes and an auto chain brake. This will ensure that the chain lasts longer.

Craftsman S205 has been designed for large-scale wood cutting.

Users on Lowe’s generally rate the Craftsman S205 very highly. Some of the comments include “impressive cutting abilities”, “easy to start”, and “well balanced.” According to one reviewer, it was a simple four-pull operation that started the chainsaw. Some customers commented about the durability of the box and the convenience of the ready mixed oil, which allowed them to start the machine immediately. Some negative comments came in the form of suggesting this chainsaw is quite heavy and ‘the chain needs tightening often’.
