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

Starts right up every time cuts like butter plenty of power did have to idle it down just a bit simple with a screwdriver great price great saw

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.

Bought this chainsaw because my 14in ryobi couldn't take this 22in wide tree. Was gonna go to my local hardware store for a chainsaw and was stunned to see 20in for $700 🤯. Immediately came to amazon and found this chainsaw. Had hope and it exceeded my expectations! Instructions slightly confusing but get you to running state. This thing eats! Definitely a gas guzzler but it does the job! Took this tree down and handled all the cuts I threw at it! Would definitely buy this again.

First off heres some background. I have a small tree business. I was going to get a Stihl 194T which was around 450-500$ and I found these little saws which had good reviews. I have a lot of experience with the 194T working for large tree companies and they seem to last under constant use about 2 years on average. If these Neotec saws will last just 6 months they will pay for themselves. So i ordered 2 of these saws for 280$ so two for about half of the cost of a single 194T. They came packaged well. One of the funnels were cracked but hey its a cheapy funnel who cares. I installed the spikes, bar, chain, then side plate. The chain was sharp and the saws dont feel (cheap) weight and plastic feel wise IMO. I already had 1:50 fuel for my Stihl 250. So i just took a little bit of it in and added it to the Neotec Mixer and added bout half the labled oil to it. Should be around 1:25 ish for the first fuel tank lol. I then filled up the fuel and bar oiled tanks. The two saws fired right up in about 2 or 3 pulls each. I let them idle on the ground about 5 minutes then cut an 8"palm stump in my yard down that i had just for these saws. The first saw was weak because it needed a carb adjustment badly. The second cut well but needed slight adjustment. I adjusted them and they then cut perfectly even for 1:25ish fuel. I cut the stump flush to the ground and then let the saws idle another 5 minutes and then shut them off. After a few minutes i fired them back up in a single pull each then let them idle another 5 minutes and then shut them off and put them in the shop on some cardboard to check bar oil leaking and sure enough way to much bar oil. I turned them almost completely shut then 1/4 of a turn. Ill come back in a month or two for an update. ------------------------------------------------ It has been a couple months now coming back for an update. After a few uses of the saws which both work well btw the choke lever feels a little flimsy but have had no problems with them. After turning down the bar oil it is pretty much perfect. They are light and they start up after just 2 or 3 pulls still. They have both payed for themselves already multiple times. My only real complaint other than the flimsy feeling choke lever are the fuel and bar oil caps. They are annoying to get started to tighten down and difficult to losen. But it can be accepted, i mean these chainsaws are currently 129$ so I can live with that. Id rather buy 4 of these instead of 1 stihl of same size and type. When i got much more money rolling in I may switch to Stihl but honestly dont see it for a long while. Ill be back for a 6 month review.
