How it works

The Zeeksaw six-inch mini chainsaw packs a powerful punch with its pure copper motor and high-efficiency lithium battery. The chainsaw has two 5C 20V rechargeable batteries, delivering a runtime of up to 60 minutes. When the batteries need a boost, they take between two to three hours to recharge fully.

The low-kickback chainsaw boasts a chain speed of 32ft/s, and at under three pounds, it's lightweight enough to tackle high-up branches and awkwardly placed shrubs. Small but mighty, the Zeeksaw mini chainsaw can cut through a six-inch-thick branch in seconds — making quick work of your fall and winter backyard projects.

When you buy the mini chainsaw on Amazon, you'll also receive a handful of accessories, including a screwdriver, carrying case, oil bottle and protective gloves.

"I can’t wait to do more pruning next sprint," writes one customer.

A shopper shares they were "so impressed" with the chainsaw they bought one for each of their kids. "They all love them and find it handy for yard work and even take them camping to the wilderness," they write.

Others say it "gets the job done" "fast and effectively" and that "the lightness is really appreciated," particularly when you're in a tree and need to balance.

While the vast majority of reviews give the mini chainsaw a five-star rating, some note that the product does not come with a manual and that the oil leaks more than expected.

The verdict

Whether for future summer gardening or fall and winter backyard projects, Amazon reviewers recommend adding the Zeeksaw six-inch mini chainsaw to your outdoor tools arsenal. The mini chainsaw can cut through small trees and shrubs "like a knife through butter" and is loved for its lightweight build and easy-to-use design. However, some note that the oil leaks — something to keep in mind when adding to your cart.
