It Rips

I have ran quite a few saws in my life and nothing compares to the throttle response and power of this saw for the size. Absolutely can't beat it. Runs like a champ. Customer service is top notch. Added something to my cart that I didn't notice was not needed and got a phone call to let me know and used that for an extra chain.

500 RipSaw

This 500 is extremely impressive. WOW! It’s like night and day difference compared to the stock 500. Lots of torque and power. It rips through wood like a mad gorilla. I purchased a 201 T from you guys 4 years ago and she is still running strong and I run the mess out of that saw 4 to 5 days a week. Same impressive power from day one. Also I purchased a 261 from you guys 3 years ago and it is also still running strong. I’m definitely on board with Team RipSaw 🤙

Ripsaw 500i, First thoughts....

I unboxed new 500i. Well packaged for shipping. I like that the box does not indicate what is inside. No damage during shipping.
I started it late afternoon for first time. It was 12 degrees out. Brrr.

I noticed right away the compression is higher when pulling the start cord. It surprised me.

It started first pull and ran perfect.

That's as far as I got. If the weather warms up a little next week, I'll take it out and cut a few rounds.

Awesome work on my 500i

Ordered the 500i based on Buckin Billy Ray’s recommendation. Saw came in and I love it! Great work!

500i

Excellent hotsaw, rips through trees faster than my other saws and starts way easier, no matter the ambient temp.
Will be buying more hotsaws as needed from these guys. Thanks!
