Specifications

Same summary

The Bosch UniversalChain 18 cordless chainsaw is a suitable choice for home users who need a simple and effective tool for pruning smaller branches, bushes or fruit trees. With a combination of an 18 V battery and a bar up to 200 mm, the chainsaw is best suited for light and medium-demanding work around the house, where mobility and quick handling without annoying cables are important. With its smaller dimensions and the included battery, however, it is not the best suited for those who often saw thicker trunks or prepare larger firewood. The tool stands out especially if you already use Bosch Power For All cordless devices, as it allows compatibility with the same batteries.
