What’s green and purple and cuts through small trees like a hot knife through butter? It’s the distinctive Wild Thing 2375 chainsaw from Poulan, and because it’s so easy to use, it’s a great choice for light to medium cutting, especially for first-time saw users.

The Wild Thing’s 18-inch bar and chain and high-performing engine provide plenty of power and bite, but it’s the saw’s user-friendly simplicity that makes it so attractive. A unique air filter system helps the filter last longer to cut down on fuel consumption, and a larger-than-most gas cap means less spilled fuel.

Safety measures include a throttle lockout to prevent the user from accidentally squeezing the trigger, wide handle spacing for good control and to accommodate step-through starting, and a chain brake activated by a nicely sized front hand guard. Note: This item is not for sale in California.

From the fact that it comes fully assembled in a sturdy carrying case (with an extra chain), to its automatic gear-driven chain oiler, to its easy-to-follow instructions, the Wild Thing 2375 is a perfect starter saw.
