McCulloch CS50S Review

The McCulloch CS50S Petrol Chainsaw is a lightweight, powerful and innovative tool which is specifically designed for thicker branches and larger trees. It has a 18 inch bar, a fast chain speed of 24.1 metres per second, and an ultra-lightweight (5.9kg) design. The chainsaw also has a powerful 50cc petrol engine which utilises McCulloch's innovative OxyPower technology which reduces both emissions and fuel consumption.

From a usability standpoint, the McCulloch CS50S Petrol Chainsaw has soft-grip handles for secure and comfortable gripping, and an anti-vibration design which lets you use it over long periods of time without discomfort. In terms of safety, it has a chain brake which can easily be used in case of kickback. We like the chainsaw's air filter which removes dust and debris via centrifugal force.
