The ParkerBrand PCS-2600 is a 26cc petrol top handle chainsaw with a 10" bar and chain, listed at £95.19 with a 4.1 out of 5 rating from 73 ratings. It finishes tenth in this guide, and it carries the most aggressive power claim per cc on the list.

That claim is 2.7 horsepower. It is printed in the specification table, which works out at roughly 2.0 kW from a 26cc engine. Higher up this guide, the 38.2cc Husqvarna states 1.4 kW, and another 26cc saw in the same article quotes 1.22 HP. Two engines of identical displacement, two figures that do not agree - and here the smaller engine is the one claiming the bigger output. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself, not from any testing we have carried out.

## Questions people ask

**How much is the ParkerBrand PCS-2600?**

The listing price is £95.19.

**What does the ParkerBrand PCS-2600 include?**

The bullets list a 26cc engine, a 10" bar with chain and cover, a toolkit and a fuel mixing bottle, with CE / GS and EU-II approval.

**How much power does the listing claim?**

The specification table states 2.7 horsepower, which is around 2.0 kW. The bullet points only say "High-Performance Engine Output" and give no figure at all.

**Why is 2.7 HP worth questioning on a 26cc saw?**

Because it converts to about 2.0 kW, more than the 1.4 kW stated for the 38.2cc Husqvarna further up this guide, and well above the 1.22 HP quoted for another 26cc saw in the same article. Same engine size, very different numbers.

**What do owners say about the ParkerBrand PCS-2600?**

It holds 4.1 out of 5. The listing states 73 ratings, but the star breakdown counts 100 in total, including 8 one-star and 59 five-star. The two totals do not match.

**How heavy is it?**

The listing gives the item weight as 4.72 kg.
