Owners reviews
Victor, 42 years old:
Bought the Kalibr EPTS-2500, has been sawing for 8 months, I do not work often. Saws trunks up to 30 cm, lightweight, but the processing quality is weak, as well as the chain. The chain was replaced immediately, the tension nut broke on the 3rd saw. It took a long time, more than a month.
Advantages: affordable, works well, simple.
Disadvantages: poor workmanship. unreliable chain tension nut, spare parts take a long time.
Dmitry, 56 years old:
A woman gave the EPTS-1800 saw as a gift, the saw lasted a little over two months and ran out! The body is made of plastic, gears, what can you expect from such quality? Didn’t return it to the store, so I’m wondering if I should return it for repair or buy something more serious.
Disadvantages: everything else.
