what does it weight? Heavier is better for cutting.

Definitely under 5lbs- I have severe arthritis and use it regularly without issue. It is a well balanced machine- which helps immensely in its ease of use. It does require using the blades down and then back up to get all pieces cut- GREAT piece of equipment!

A little less than 3 lb. I brought it on a recent hike on the AT and used it several times and was worth the carry. My buddy has a similar Gerber that he brought...few whacks on a standing dead tree about 6" thick, and we switched to mine. The thick blade makes it significantly better; the defining feature in my opinion. Also, try a 550 cord loop on the handle and hold it so only a couple fingers are on the handle and it will chop like a hatchet.

It is not very heavy, but it is bulky to transport because of the long guide arm. Does not come with a case. If you had to move it you could uninstall the guide arm. Excellent piece of equipment for cutting mats. I am very pleased with it.

There is a design flaw with this saw. The cutting bed is not flat and the vise cannot hold the metal tight enough to keep the cuts square. there is about a 1/8" drop in the bed to the right of the blade. I sent mine back for a refund because crooked cuts are all you get with tubing. Buy another brand. As for weight the saw is light. The metal you cut could be heavier than the saw. The DeWalt miter saw stand I saw was rated for 300 pounds so there should not be any issues. The tile backer suggested by Goodknight is not a bad idea.

The saw weighs about 5 lbs. and the fiberglass pole extension another 2 or 3 lbs. for a total of about 8 lbs. It is quite light for this class of saws. If you hold it vertically it isn't much of a problem but the more you reach with it the harder it gets due to leverage. I put the saw on a branch and let the weight of the saw do the cutting. I bought it because of it's light weight and I can't handle heavy things due to a bad shoulder. It does cut beautifully though as long as you have your feet on the ground. I would not use it on a ladder though. Ro

There are heavier. I use different ones for different things...the more expensive ones are thicker and therefore more durable.

I'm not sure but I think it weighs about 7 pounds. The blades look like plastic which is good because if you use wooden blades outside eventually they will warp.

The saw weighs about 7 lbs. How you hold and use the saw affects the way that 7 lbs. feels to the user. The longer you extend the handle and the closer you hold it parallel to the ground makes it seem heavier. Always position the saw and yourself so your comfortable with the weight and you should be safe.

Weight should be listed in the description,but I can carry it around all day.It is light as a feather as far as chain saws go...

i have no way to weigh it but acording to what you might call heavy i think it is pretty light. nice knife. handle about right if you have small hands. to small if you have big hands. don't know if this helps or not. hopefully it does.

I'm really sorry but I had never used a chainsaw before. This is not heavy at all, easy to handle even if a "lightweight" and can cut up to 16" thick branch. And I have found I can use it well, it continues to work a year later and you bet I do oil.

Yes, it is a bit heavier due to the weight of the walnut handle, but not by much. It stillhas the same relatively thin blade and feels light compared to most knives of this design.For a heavier knife with a thicker blade, I'd recommend the Mercer 8" Renaissance or Genesis in this price range..

I would not call it weighted. It is a little heavier just because it is bigger

I'm not sure if the weight but it's pretty heavy. I would say heavier than most, especially when you consider it's size.

More power but still light weight helps with making cutting line's straighter

I don't have an exact weight but it is lighter then the older models. The case is heavy plastic and the base is stamped sheet metal. I use it to cut rebar and have gone thru 3 blades, it works great no problems at all. It is not a flimsy POS.
