Lightweight, reliable saw. Just right for a pensioner.”

About the Brait brand
The company began delivering the first batches of its products to Russia about 5 years ago. Since then, she has not only continued to work, unlike many emerging and quickly disappearing brands, but is also actively developing her activities.
The promotion of Brait chainsaws to global and Russian markets is comparable to a full-scale offensive on all fronts. Today on the Russian market, Brait offers several dozen models of chainsaws. Including new items with the most advanced developments in this area. This is only possible if there is a powerful production base and serious plans for development.
Homeland of the brand and country of origin
Brait are completely Chinese chainsaws. The birthplace of the brand and the country of origin is China. We employ Russian companies called Brait. But these are not manufacturers, but trading companies engaged in wholesale supplies of gasoline equipment from China to the Russian Federation.

- The build quality of the devices is slightly inferior to similar ones manufactured in factories in Europe.

- an economical Daewoo engine installed in all models;
- housing made of impact-resistant plastic;

Saw Daewoo Power Products DACS 4516 reviews
It cuts perfectly.
Powerful. Very gluttonous, the original chain is not so hot. The engine does not start the first time.
In principle, drinking a saw while working in the garden caused positive emotions.
Beautiful, powerful, starts well.
Every 15 minutes of work you have to tighten the chain. The chain tensioner is very flimsy. The tire is pressed with nuts through a plastic side cover, so it always slips and the chain begins to sag. Chain brake. I have never seen a worse design. The plastic of the cover is very flimsy and as a result, after cutting a couple of dozen trees, the brake mechanism fell apart. The spring, which is inside the mechanism, broke the wall of the compartment in which it was installed.
What to say. The first time I made a mistake, buying something based on reviews in Yandex Market. In general, a good and new product went into the trash because of a poorly designed and manufactured part. I didn't see the point in buying a new side cover. it will be the same. And will such a brake help in case of kickback? I don’t want to waste time running around shops and workshops. Looks like there's a saw. but it seems not. Threw it to the e. pits
And there is a good assistant at the site, and you can take it with you, it doesn’t take up much space.
Protective screen - one name.
In one day I cut firewood for the whole winter - I wasn’t even particularly tired, because it cuts 30cm of wood like soft butter. If you need to do something on the site, it also helps out: it’s compact, lightweight, so you can even cut down branches or fell trees. I went on an expedition to the north, there was a lot of off-road conditions - I took it with me, threw it in the back and that was all, but I helped out three times: twice I cleared the road from fallen trees and once I sawed logs to cross a ditch. I won’t even talk about making firewood - I saved a lot of time.
