435 Husqvarna Chainsaw Unboxing and Review 

lol I was thinking, going to lose his sight and his hearing and probably a few limbs

Starts saw up instantly starts cutting and holding throttle wide open no blow up if it was me the saw would have been toast

Well, it's the "word of advice TV" channel, not the "picture of advice" !! LOL

vinnydapooh 😂

How big of a tree can you cut up with a 16" bar

32"max, but 16" dia, no problem , if properly maintained and run with care.

Word of Advice TV it's called a "bar" not a blade, hence the bar and chain lubricant. And yes, a tank of bar and chain oil per tank of gas is average. Good call on the ethanol free gas

YES, that is completely normal. Whenever you add gas.... you should also be checking and adding chain/bar lubricant. Very nice saw!!

If I could chime in? The person I learned about chainsaws from was well experienced and very committed to safety and getting many miles out of everything he owned. A lesson I have never forgotten is whenever you go to fill the fuel tank, fill the bar oil reservoir first. This way you won't forget or run the tank dry while you still have gas to "burn", only after the bar oil is topped up add gas. Second item, if you have a lot of saw dust built up in the channels that deliver the bar oil from the oil pump to the chain, some of this oil will saturate the sawdust, then as it sits on the shelf it seeps out onto everything. WORSE: that oil is not getting to the chain, putting the chain and bar at risk or maybe you have turned up the pump to compensate. Taking time to clean the saw and bar will prove helpful in any case. Third, you speak of the stock chain but is it possible the chain was not sharp. A Forrester/ Feller will touch up his/her saw at Coffee break and swap it out at lunch, then touch up the second one at afternoon coffee. A lot of people are out there buzzing around with saws that desperately need a filing. I have said too much. Be safe! Maybe attach a updated (ppe included) video to the original.

Steven Chagnon its a pro saw not a homeowner say

@@jacobsmith2722 nowhere near pro saw

@@villeparviainen3929 Nowhere near a 50 max hour big box store disposable junker either. You don't need a $1,500 saw to be professional quality or heavy duty. My Stihl MS-391 and Echo CS-490 hang tough for under $600 for each of them.

Thank you for your concern! I would like to think that I have gotten better since then, got the right safety PPE, and don't do stupid things. :) Thanks for emphasizing safety!

Lol! Yep.. probably not the best choice

Олег Наговицын how do the warranties compare to the stihl. we've been having trouble with the warranty for stihl they don't want to cover anything that happens to the saw. we even bought the 1 gallon oil for extended warranty and they still have not covered anything.

A poorly run machine will fail regardless of how good, so it's hard for the manufacture or rep if a saw has been abused, hopefully a good company will work with you but it is not always their fault especially in cases of abuse neglect or lack of operational knowledge. I am an engine rebuilder and equipment specialist, so I buy used and fix. I may never buy new, too many poorly maintained saws for cheap, this is my point.. Why should they have to pay for someone's lack of maintenance knowledge. I see both sides.

Had it for over a year now! It's been great! No problems with it at all. Just add gas and oil ;) Though the stock chain wasn't very good against large pieces. I ended up getting a "non safe" chain instead which works very well. (Oregon 16" chainsaw chain 95VPX066G narrow kerf .325 .050 66 DL G66 H30-66) Also, since making the video, I have acquired the proper PPE as well. Don't forget to be safe and hope you enjoy your new saw!

Word of Advice TV if it's in your budget, opt for A second saw for cutting the larger stuff. Use that little saw for limbing and cutting smaller trees. The 435-445 saws are made for small-medium sized trees. I recommend A Husqvarna 460 or A 465. Expensive, heavy, and large but they're made to cut larger firewood for longer intervals. The smaller saws can get the job done but you are making it earn its keep for sure. It'll burn that saw up after A couple of years simply because it isn't made for that much cutting. It's only my opinion and I'm just trying to be A little helpful :-) I'm 37 and grew up with A saw in one hand and axe in the other. Gotta stay warm! I have A video of my 460 if you would like to check it out. I recommend A saw that has an oiler adjustment on it. If it doesn't have an adjustment and you cut stuff larger than your bar length, there won't be enough oil flow if you do this often. Thanks for sharing! I just picked up another saw yesterday, A Jonsered 2255, used about 1-2 winters, and its A good saw. Let us know if we can be of assistance. :-)

Now go watch videos on how to sharpen it. There is a lot of non-sense out there on how to do it - might want to check out Billy Ray and go from there. My favorite hand file so far is the one that files the depth gauge (some call it a raker) and the tooth at the same time. Granberg also makes a couple nice ones - again, some people gripe about the Granberg stuff. To each their own... Use the specs on the chain box for both up/down angle (10 deg?) and side to side (LGX is 25 deg as I recall). Wear gloves when you do it. I had mine so sharp last time, I sliced a finger open and had to get stitches. =O

Oiler adjustment? Do you mean a manual plunge oiler to add more bar oil than the metered delivery or are you referring to adjusting the automatic oiler to supply more oil.? Thanks for you work and be safe, appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

lmfaoo savage

Thank you for that! I just used it the other day and did it the wrong way. I remember thinking that something may be off about the way I'm doing this. I will now do it properly! Thanks again good sir!

Wow, I just got my 1st, used off craigslist. Any advice as I restore it back to working condition? I got it for 25 as it needs lovin, cleaning, etc, maintenance. Thanks, I figured after 14 yrs, you know the secret. Thanks in advance. John..

@@johnkomosa4089 bad decision

@@rk22cc I have finished the saw and it is real nice, it runs excellent and I am glad I purchased it. It was a fun project and restore. Next, I have a Stihl 009 to restore if anyone has any tips for me on the 009 Stihl. Thanks. John

I have had the same experience l do have a few Sthils but my go to saw is my 455 just got a 435 to put on the job too .

Thanks man! Since the making of the video I have already gotten all the proper PPE :)

@Bango Bang personal protective equipment for example chaps, helmet etc. Always a good idea

Husky are nice for sensitive guys. But the Big Dogs use Stihl. Even Buck'n's Macs are better than being so sensitive. I hope I don't hurt your feelings... Just kidding, keep safe and keep cutt'n Keep Rock'n AC/DC Or do you like Elton. .. Ah ha ha

Thank you!! It hasn't disappointed me yet! :)

Thanks for saying that! I got a few comments razing me for not being sure if how I was saying it was right or not. Good to know!

Can confirm

Hisquarna

Not much kickback on homeowner saw. They come with safety chain reduced kickback

Thank you for the suggestions! I did get some PPE after I made that video :)

Depends what bar you got, could be an 18”

~slaps my forehead~

@ you have a point there didnt think about i that way

So far it's still working like a champ! The only little problem I have is that sometimes it leaks bar oil. So I started keeping a rag under it when I store it.

@@WordofAdviceTV thanks

Luckily I haven't needed mine repaired yet but thank you for the heads up!

Thank you!

I am from Sweden. You are closer to pronounce it correct than most. It's more like Huuskvarna. The u is long. And the u sounds like the u in Julia. Never ever Hus-ka-varna.

Get a Stihl and you don't have to worry. They're better anyways. Just kidding... Ah ha ha.

Now that you say that, I have noticed that there was a little oil puddle under my chainsaw too! I thought maybe it accidentally got tipped over on it's side or something. Well that's annoying. So the darn things leak..

Mine leaked bar oil for a while. A deep cleaning solved that issue, but i always keep a rag under it when its stored.

Had for years. No problems. One of the main saws on a working farm that heats home with wood stove. Would research that issue if I were you.

My 455 (bought used) would leak the entire oil reservoir when left sitting... long story short, there is a little rubber tube that plugs into the bottom of the tank that wasn't sealing. I pulled that out, cleaned everything with brake cleaner, and pushed the tube back in place with a very small amount of black RTV to help it seal. Hasn't leaked a drop since! There may also be some leaking past the oil pump - assuming it's like the 455, there is a clam-shell design where the tube from the oil tank and the tube to the bar meet, and "clamp" around the pump. That can leak as well, but that's a lesser leak than what I had. That might be resolved with a small amount of hylomar, or equivalent gasket dressing. Another possibility is just that the remaining oil left in the tube from the pump to the bar is draining out (if it's just a very small amount after running). Some people say that cracking the seal on the oil reservoir after operation (and then closing tight before storage) helps relieve pressure build up from operation that may push bar oil out. All said, I'm really happy with the 455 (and square chisel chain), but my 021 hasn't leaked a drop in 18 years.

Wow, your 021, that's a Stihl correct? I had an 025, it was my favorate, I fix and sell them. One tip is keep a rag or cardboard under the saw and change it out from time to time, I have considered emptying the reservoir for long storage and fill when in season. Can't leak what is not there. I think the constant warming and cooling day night temps milks them out, most all my saws drool and I work on them all, I just tolerate it and put cardboard under. I have a burn from time to time, campfire. If you have a saw that doesn't leak consider yourself lucky, I like the old saws, so I tolerate it as long as the saw is operating good and sharp. I might run them dry and fill b4 use, where in the past, I always top them off, so they are ready to go, then the hot cold cycle (pressure, expansion, contraction) milks out a lip valve (like a check valve), Just a thought. Do what works for you and makes you safe and happy.

Thank you for providing the right pronunciation! I will see what I can do about never mispronouncing this awesome brand name again! :)

Ken Quesenberry thanks

Thank you for your concern :) Since making the video and reading comments similar to yours, I have gotten ear muffs, safety glasses, gloves, chaps, good boots, and I don't drop start the thing. I would like to believe that I do things safer now heh

Music to my ears :) Its fun as heck running a chainsaw, but its not worth risking your life over it. I just hope more people was open minded and actually listened to advice like you do. Happy new year

How do we flag this video unsafe for viewing? He shouldn't be running a chainsaw. My ten year old daughter does way better.

All good points! I have since gotten better about that... The only thing I am lacking is the ear protection. I am planning on getting some soon though because my ears do ring after cutting for a while..

s1914 that saw I small it would kill you if you're cutting that little twig

Take some advice... Do NOT cut things half way down the bar.. ALWAYS have the teeth on the front of the saw body up against the thing you are cutting. NEVER cut anything with the tip of the saw, you will be asking for the saw to fly back in your face.. NEVER EVER EVER cut things with the top of the bar.. Yes, you will see loads of people on youtube doing it, yes, loads of people will now come on here and tell me how clever they are and that i do not know what i am talking about.. Now ask yourself why so many people are injured with chainsaws.. Trust me, do not listen to the idiots..

An experienced sawer will use every part of his bar including his tip, your advise is good for the beginner such as this video author, however, an average sawer will cut with the top of his bar quite often. There are some very good videos out there, and some great sawers, I encourage folks to watch the videos and pay attention to the comments made by the pros, lots of folks like to help. Be Kind, call Noone idiot, we are all learning. I love to teach beginners how to saw, they are not idiots. Be a nice guy. Be kind..

Husky Just like the dog. Ah ha.

Do you go to all husqvarna review vids and post the same comment in each? Idiot.

@@TomYearg and there was i thinking De je Vu !😂🤣☝️👌

I don't know, I see alot of pros using Husky and Stihl, but never seen a pro use a poulan. Friends don't let friends use Poulans. It is the only saw, I shy away from , I had a few and would be fine if I never see another poulan again, and I am an engine rebuilder, Technician. The last one I had, I couldn't sell it fast enough. I sold it for parts after I serviced it to preserve my reputation, even though it fired up and all my saws are sharp. Simply, i don't like them, poor design, unreliable. My experience.
