The TB4218 is a compact gas chainsaw that stands out as a strong value for homeowner cutting, especially when more reach and power are needed than a corded or battery saw can offer. It is described as a Troy-Bilt built by MTD and closely related to the Craftsman 18 inch saw, with praise for easy starting on non ethanol gas, solid performance on yard work, and a surprisingly low price versus $219 to $229 elsewhere. The main cautions are gas saw upkeep, including stale fuel, carb tuning, leaks, and occasional defects or chain issues. It looks like a practical small property saw when weight and price matter.

Common Questions (5)

  • At $98 with free shipping, it is widely viewed as a strong value, especially since similar listings were cited at $219-$229 elsewhere. It is a practical homeowner saw for limbing, bucking, and occasional firewood work, though electric or battery saws are still preferred by some for lighter, infrequent use.

  • It can start right up and run well with non-ethanol gas and proper chain sharpening, but there are also reports of units starting and then immediately dying or leaking bar oil. If it acts up, carb adjustment and fresh fuel are the first things to check.

  • Yes, it has been used successfully on larger tasks like processing around 20 ash trees and limbing/bucking a large maple bough. It is still a homeowner saw, so it is better suited to standard yard and firewood work than professional daily use.

  • The listed weight is about 12.2-12.26 lb on Troy-Bilt and Home Depot, despite one comment quoting 26 lb. For a gas saw, that puts it in a relatively manageable homeowner range.

  • It is built by MTD and is the same platform as the Craftsman 18-inch saw. That makes parts and design comparisons easier if you already know the Craftsman version.

If I didn't have a boat load of gas chain saws already I would be in for one (probably 2, I like having spares on hand when I find a cheap deal). I bought a few of those cheap import saws back when they first hit the market a decade or so back, and they have been beast. This seems like a good deal for a name brand saw. Been buying up electric saws lately, but this one is tempting.

It is a decent chainsaw. I wouldn't say it's a Stihl. I have one. It cuts. I prefer my Echo chainsaw. It's good backup. I keep non ethanol gas in all my lawn equipment. This will keep this cheap chainsaw running good.
lol it's a 98 dollar 18" gas chainsaw, not a 400 stihl. Of course it isn't a stilhl

In for 1, couldn't pass it up for a cool $100. It's like in the top 6 best for gas powered saws at Consumer Reports.
