A couple of folks have reached out to me asking if I had any experience with Vevor chainsaws.

I actually thought Vevor only did hand tools. I have a pretty extensive socket set from them that is 3 or 4 years old.

So when I did some research, I was surprised to find that Vevor has branched out into all kinds of product categories.

They basically buy products from other manufacturers, do a bit of testing and sometimes ask for some customization, and then market it under their Vevor brand.

Their 62cc saw is amazingly cheap on Amazon right now (hint: think one crisp hundred dollar bill), so I figured I would buy one and put it through its paces.

Setup

What do they say, “some assembly required”?

Nothing special. You have to install the bar and chain, setting its tension which is not difficult.

You can use the cheap little mixing bottle they give you to pre-mix the oil and gas. It’s a 40:1 ratio. You’ll want to fill the bar/chain oil up. The chain oil tank capacity is 260ml (.07 gal).

And don’t forget to grease the sprocket!

My Review

It was very warm out when I was using the saw. It took me a few tries to get it started, but that was because it did not want much choke at all.

If you are used to starting carbureted chainsaws in various weather conditions, you shouldn’t have a problem with this saw.

It has some heft to it, at 16 lbs it’s not light. It’s fairly well-balanced.

It has good power. The noise is average. And the vibration is about as expected.

Even after several hours of use, going through 3 tanks of fuel, the chain was reasonably sharp and after making one minor adjustment once it wore in a bit, I had no chain tensioning problems.

There were a few things I didn’t like.

The top handle felt a little too lightweight and flexible.

The knobs feel kind of cheap. I mean, they work, it just feels like cheap plastic that nobody cared about enough to design out the charp corners and the burrs.

This is a good saw, but it’s cheap and in some ways it feels cheap.

I would definitely compare this to the Supmix 20″ 62cc saw.

The Supmix actually has the Vevor beat on power, as it has 0.4 hp more. And at least according to the specs, the Supmix is actually lighter (14 vs 16 lbs).

Right now, Vevor has Supmix beat on price, as it is a good bit cheaper. You can check the latest pricing here.

One more thing, Vevor might be one of the opening price point brands, but they tend to do a good job with service parts. If you search for parts for this saw, you’ll find that Vevor spells out all of the necessary part numbers and makes sure they are made available.

I’ve talked about this in posts before. Service parts are important. If you use a saw long enough, you’ll need at least a chain, a bar, maybe even a carb or a handle. And I trust Vevor to make the parts available and affordable.

So this is a solid saw and such a low price point. If you want a bit more performance, you could go with a Supmix. Or if you want to err on the side of safety for parts, you can go with Vevor.
