NEO-TEC 12 Inch Top Handle Gas Chainsaw 25.4cc 2-Stroke Portable Small Gas Powered Chain Saws Motosierra De Gasolina for Tree-climbing Tree Pruning Wood Cutting Firewood Preparation Yard Maintenance

This is an awesome little saw - I’m shocked at how much I did with it and how well it handled cutting things bigger than probably should be. Right out of the box it fires up super easily and I did the break in process for a new chainsaw and it’s just great. I will say for me I put a new Oregon brand chain on it, I wasn’t sure how good their chain is but I’m working up in a lift and I wasn’t in a position to experiment easily. I have used them and like them but their chain looks good too- just haven’t tried it. Some feedback is the clutch slips easily I think by design to save the saw compared to a 460 rancher but it’s understandable given its design. I also use ethanol free gas and I mix it 24:1 with vp 2 stroke oil- personal preference. It’s a thirsty little saw but I think it’s awsome- very affordable compared to the other brands and so far working very well. I think out of the box the oil setting is a little high it does seep a bit but so do all my other saws - bar oil is cheap chains and bars not so much. I highly recommend this and be aware they call for 25:1 fuel oil mix which a change from most out there calling for 50:1 (less oil). I highly recommend ethanol free gas and when u store any saw follow that- on utube every where will make ur life so much easier when u need a saw the following season.

Update 6-10-2025: First things first- this saw is truly a little beast. I thought I ruined it with the wrong fuel mix. NAW! Just mixed up the correct flavor and she fired right up and now runs perfectly. Easy starting and has gotten more powerful as it broke in. Second- Ecotech mailed me an air filter cover, from China, for free. They just asked for a photo of the broken part. Took a while but who cares. This is WORLD CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE folks. BTW, and I don't use this saw every day, but it has at least 10-12 hours on it, and I'm still running the original chain! Pretty sweet saw for $135 or whatever. Don't miss out on getting one. Raised to 5 STARS! I got this saw for light work. At first it cut pretty well and I was happy with the saw. Unfortunately I didn't realize the saw wants 25:1 gas/oil mix and used standard 50:1. My bad, but I didn't think any saw makers were requiring 25:1. Anyway, saw now is very hard to start and won't idle. Did I ruin it? Don't know and I don't know how to contact the maker. Also, I dropped the saw and broke the retaining screw off the air filter cover so now that won't stay on unless I tie it on with string. I'd like to buy a replacement cover if possible. Ecotek, if you're reading this, can you supply parts to the US market? Thanks

Good saw for the price. Has mostly standard parts (uses 25:1 gas:oil tho). Only issue is that it doesn't idle well. Engine will start fine and fast-idle well, but most of the time after running the blade it will kick off and need a single pull to restart.

I ordered this chainsaw on Wednesday because it said it would be delivered on Friday. Friday came and it didn’t arrive. Saturday, no saw. Sunday, no saw. I contacted customer support and they said that they would give me a refund. I still wanted the saw though. So after about a week it finally arrived. Customer support allowed me to get a refund and still keep the saw. Now for the saw review. At first glance it was very cheaply made. I had to install the chain, bar and side cover. The side cover didn’t fit correctly and it was a pain in the neck to get it on. I mixed the gas accordingly and gave it a few pulls and it started up. I’m usually pretty hard on equipment so I wasn’t expecting much. I cut a ton of wood with it. Probably 8 facecords and it worked flawlessly. As of now, I’m pleasantly surprised. However due to the amount of plastic used, I expect breakage in the future. Especially where the chain adjustment is. It is all plastic. The saw has plenty of power. It starts up no problem. I also expect to be adjusting the carburetor in the future. The last time I ran it, it died twice on me. The problem was that the gas cap is not vented properly and it created a vacuum. If you’re looking for a cheap saw to use as a backup (for when you make mistakes and get your saw stuck in a tree lol) I’d suggest getting it. If you’re going to be hard on it, I doubt it will last long. However, if you get it for free like I did, you can’t go wrong.

Not sure why I waited so long to buy a small saw. This is hands down a great purchase. It started and ran great right out of the box. It is light weight and starts with a couple pulls each time. I own other Neo-Tec saws, and they are all really good saws for the homeowner.

So far great bang for its buck! I haven't got a lot of time on it. It feels good for the price. I use much more expensive saws. I got this and figured why not. Its built decently and runs, cuts good. Time will tell.

This is a neat little chain saw! Started right up and so far it’s been running great. It’s a nice light one hander but definitely not cheap feeling. I wanted something small for the quick trims and to throw on the ATV in case a few quick cuts needed to be done to clear a trail. So far it’s definitely exceeded expectations. The ONE critically important thing to remember with this saw is the mix ratio is 25:1 not the normal 50:1 seen on most newer 2 cycles PAY ATTENTION MIXING and use a good quality synthetic oil or you’ll fry this engine in short order. It also says use 5w-30 engine oil for the bar oil, so far that’s been working fine as well. Definitely would recommend this one

Great saw powerful cuts really well and even on the bigger logs has no problem love the power and its size but I was using this at -5 f and was performing fantastic till the handle broke cold plastic easier to break
