I was convinced all chainsaws were junk and expendable. I had about 6 that worked for awhile and quit. Chains fall off, won’t idle, won’t start, etc. This one changed my mind. I get tons of use on my property and very rarely run down my battery. When I do I just clear brush for awhile, get some water, and I’m back at it. Runs smooth and very rare chain adjustments. Well worth it.
I've always owned a gas saw (a great Stihl 025 that has lasted over 30 years) but I wanted a saw I could just go out early and cut up fallen trees or limbs without waking up the neighborhood. I read the reviews and when Lowes offered a 30 day no questions asked return, I jumped. I was not disappointed. The saw cuts great, is very quiet and the battery does seem to last as long as advertised (for now). I had a problem - the chain tension screw either stripped or a gear broke inside) so Greenworks directed me to a repair shop for evaluation. A week later a new 60 volt 16inch chainsaw was on my porch. Can't ask for better performance or service.
We have had issues with ours. We had it replaced once less than 90 days after purchase due to the chain slipping off because the bar wouldn't tighten properly. And now not even a year later the replacement has cracked on the chamber that holds the bar oil. It works fine other than it is clearly cheaply made. In hindsight I am not sure I would have wasted money on it
This saw kicks some serious butt! Whether it’s smaller branches or larger trees it will rip through anything you throw it’s way. Advanced safety features prevent it from accidentally turning on, and it’s self lubricating so you don’t have to keep stopping to prime the oil up to the chain. So much power from a charge it just keeps going and going and going and...
I purchased this 10-inch brushless pole saw 6 months ago. I had no idea how truly helpful this would be around our property. Trimming hedges and branches off trees has gone from being a tedious job, to something I really enjoy. Easy to set up and use, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a helpful alternative to using a handsaw or hedge clippers.
