When I got this, really wasnt expecting to be impressed as it is battery powered but boy was I wrong! For home owner use, highly recommend this tool! Keep it sharp and it will take care of your cutting needs!
I bought this 6 months ago and love it. I like that when I need it, check the oil, put in the battery, and I'm ready to go. It's good for cutting/trimming medium size trees. The battery tends to overheat with cutting larger stock.
I received the GreenWorks 80v for my birthday a couple weeks ago, and boy, what a gift! I'm no "tree-hugger", but inhaling the exhaust fumes from 2-stroke power tools just about makes me sick for the rest of the day - dizzy & weak! Not to mention, your clothes smell so bad after running one that you have to change them too. So, I've always been interested in the concept of an electric chainsaw, but was too skeptical of the power to buy one for myself. Now, I'm kicking myself for not having one sooner! My new GreenWorks turns a dreaded job into a pleasant one. Press a button and pull the trigger. No more "won't start" or "dies idling" frustration! Oh, and it makes less noise as the kitchen blender making a milkshake; so you don't wake up the countryside when you want to cut wood at 6:00 A.M.. It can really cut some wood too. I can get my tractor cart to overflowing just with the standard 2 AMP battery. I immediately put my battery back on charge at the "beep alarm", and by the time I stack my cart-load of wood, get a glass of iced tea and go back out; it's ready to go again. I'm so impressed, I think I'm going to buy the 80v Pole Saw so I can not only trim some limbs, but have a back-up battery for going deep into the woods.
This 16 in cordless chainsaw is a WORTHY investment for anyone who would rather do a job themselves. Whether you're clearing some thick brush or getting firewood ready for the winter, you won't be disappointed. I love the battery life this beauty has. No gas fumes to deal with or a cord that only takes you so far.
’m no stranger to Greenworks products, so I knew when I pulled this new chainsaw out of it’s box that I would be impressed.. and let me tell ya, I WAS! I’ve used a ton of their products, dating back to the early 2000s, and it quickly became the brand of choice for me.
Let me go into detail more: The materials used feel much more heavy-duty than a few of the other chainsaws I’ve sampled. It’s VERY well-balanced, and feels rock-solid. The look and feel of the Pro chainsaw makes you realize this tool is the real deal and not some cheap electric spin off of a gas saw. It handles the job with ease! I had a skeptical buddy borrow it and he said he had NO issues running through the lot of trees and broken limbs that lay before him. He did note that he powered through one battery rather quickly…. he noted some of the dead trees were almost like rocks, and he was very surprised when he had plenty of power to make it through the first few of them without a problem. He said at some point he forgot he was using an electric and thought he would be needed gas soon (mindset you have to overcome when switching to electric)! I found that funny being he’s the mister tough guy type, a no-nonsense sort of fella who has every tool imaginable, this was a whole new experience for him, and I think it sold him on getting his OWN Greenworks equipment! Again, coming in after using a power tool and not stinking of gas is such a HUGE BONUS!
I highly recommend this saw, but I would recommend buying more than one battery! It’s a load of fun!
Used this to clear my driveway after a 30ft hackberry fell during hurricane Harvey. Was able to cut everything up to around 10" diameter with ease. No fumes, and very quiet compared to gas. Just remember to keep the chain sharp, and it won't let you down.
This chainsaw is amazing. It cuts great, and the battery last longer than I have ever needed. Also, you can charge the battery and it will hold that change until you need it again. No gas, no oil, no smell, and I don't have to fight it to get it started. I should have bought one sooner than I did.
I Love my 60V 16 In Cordless Brushless Chainsaw. It is light weight and easy to use. Has more than enough power to get the job done. The battery keeps a good charge for a long time. Easy to maneuver and use even for women. A lot easier to start than one you have to pull on a cord to get started. No hassel with gas or mixing gas/oil. Quieter than a gas chain saw also.
