Hyundai HYC1600E Review

The Hyundai HYC1600E Electric Chainsaw is a well designed tool which is highly functional, practical and convenient to use. It's a medium-duty chainsaw which is ideal for small to medium sized trees and logs, cutting them with its 14 inch bar and chain speed of 13 metres per second. It's an electric tool with a powerful 1600W motor. It can be assembled without the use of tools and is easily maintained. One feature of interest is its automatic chain lubrication which is extremely convenient.

In terms of features, the Hyundai HYC1600E Electric Chainsaw has many. We like its steel spiked bumper which makes the tool more stable and, as such, allows for more precise cutting. We also like its soft-grip handle, lightweight (3.9kg) design and cable loop facility which reduces cable wear and tear around where the cable enters the handle.
