Renowned for its reliability and efficiency, this model stands out in the competitive market of outdoor power tools. One of the main features of the Poulan 178249 is its powerful 18-inch bar and chain, which allows users to tackle a wide range of cutting tasks, from firewood preparation to tree trimming.

Equipped with a 42cc 2-cycle engine, the Poulan 178249 provides ample power while maintaining a manageable weight, making it easier to handle for extended periods.
