Good Points: Price is low.
Bad Points: hard to start (sometimes impossible)!Poor build quality.First one literally had pieces fall off after just a week!Replacement worked for about 3 days, now it just wont start full stop!
General comments: I bought an Ryobi PCN-4545 chainsaw locally, it worked fine at the start, I didn't use it much about 3 times in a week, then I noticed the bolt holding the safety bar was missing and some other parts were loose!I took it back and it was replaced with an 18 inch, the replacement worked fine until about a week after, I have tried everything to start it, I haven't had any problems starting other makes and the use it got was very light, I am going back to the retailer and looking for a full refund, I will then buy a well established make, pay a bit more and get reliability!

Overall this Ryobi PCN-4545 is well worth the money, although I did have some trouble sourcing parts. The On/Off switch failed after one use, however, the machine was returned to Ryobi and this fault was repaired & the machine has been working well ever since.
Obtaining spare parts is almost impossible as Ryobi Direct pass the customer on to another company called augmented spares who in turn don't seem sure of the product as they appear to lack product knowledge.
Recently I endevoured to order ...

I have used this saw for a year now on oak, beech and ashtree trunks and found it to be very reliable.

Nice balanced machine. I have had 2 of these in the last 6 months and each has started to over rev after about 3 hrs work in total.
The first one was changed by Ryobi for an updated model as the first one over revved which cause the chain bar to warp with heat, the brake to burn out and the oil pump to cease up! The second one has just started to over rev for no reason , so I am sending that back for repair. The second one has done 2 hrs work. Cheap for DIY use only. Nothing else to add

The Ryobi PCN-4545 chainsaw is as good as some of the established names at a competitive price. It is lightweight. Has low vibration. It is very quiet for a petrol saw, and it feels secure.
