Walmart might not be the first place you think of when shopping for deals on tools , but the retailer has been making a strong case lately as a go-to resource for all kinds of useful implements—everything from full tool sets to portable inflators and even giant tool chests in which to store them. It's not just hand tools, though—one of the best deals you'll find is on this miniature chainsaw that was recently marked down by more than $200.

The Nexpow 6-Inch Battery Powered Mini Chainsaw is on sale at Walmart for $50, a huge 81% discount on its normal price of $260. This highly portable handheld chainsaw has earned over 600 five-star ratings from Walmart reviewers who say it's "super easy to handle."

This portable chainsaw is battery-operated and perfect for day-to-day yard work and light brush clearance. The chainsaw features a powerful brushless motor and a hardened chain that spins at 6,000 rpm, which allows this tool to cut through a 4-inch log in just 5 seconds. It’s also super easy to operate: An ergonomic non-slip handle makes it comfortable to hold, and at just 12 inches long and 1.5 pounds, it’s very compact. It includes two rechargeable batteries for up to two hours of runtime, and the chain is pre-installed. It even ships with a bottle of chain oil to keep the tool running smoothly.

Shoppers report the Nexpow Mini Chainsaw offers excellent cutting power, and unlike bulky full-size saws, it’s a cinch to use. "Cuts tree branches like butter," a shopper said. "Trimmed my trees very quickly and easily. I wish I had gotten it a long time ago."

Another shopper agreed, noting the chainsaw's ultra-light weight. "So lightweight and super easy to handle," they said. "Used it to trim trees and my hedge already and absolutely love it…I honestly don’t know why I waited so long to jump in and try it."

If your yard is a little overgrown, this mini chainsaw from Nexpow makes tidying up your outdoor space quick and easy. And, at just $50, this powerful tool is a worthy investment—but act fast, because this flash deal will disappear soon.
