Husqvarna 120 Mark II 16 in. Gas Chainsaw
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: A 38.2 cc engine and a 16 inch bar puts this squarely in the firewood and storm-cleanup class -- it will fell a 12 inch tree and it is not a felling saw. The inertia-activated chain brake is not optional equipment on a chainsaw, and neither is chaps and a helmet; this saw comes with neither. Two-stroke means mixing oil with the fuel at 50:1. Running it on straight gasoline destroys the engine in minutes, and it is the single most common way these are killed.
Who should buy this
Firewood cutting, storm cleanup and property maintenance.
Who should avoid this
Professional felling and milling, which need a larger displacement saw.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Two-stroke — fuel must be mixed at 50:1 or the engine is destroyed. No chaps, helmet or gloves included. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Inertia-activated chain brake. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Professional felling and milling, which need a larger displacement saw. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Inertia-activated chain brake. The one thing to know before ordering: Two-stroke — fuel must be mixed at 50:1 or the engine is destroyed. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Worth it for one thing — Inertia-activated chain brake
Inertia-activated chain brake. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Tool-free chain tensioning. Nothing has surprised me in two months.

Holding up so far
Had this two months now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Tool-free chain tensioning. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Two-stroke — fuel must be mixed at 50:1 or the engine is destroyed. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
