Pretty happy with this chainsaw, used it to cut up a dead 16" diameter pine tree, it bogged down at times but overall did a good job. Liked it enough to get one for my dad.
Seems to have lots of torque, not supplying any oil to the chain

Hello Not to happy,
Happy to hear you are pleased with the torque for this chainsaw. Sorry to hear of the issue you are experiencing. The most common reason a chainsaw oiler stops working is that the oil hole gets clogged. Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from impurities. If this does not resolve the issue, please use the customer contact page on our website or contact us directly at 1-8888-909-6757 for further assistance regarding this matter.
Love the chainsaw, but will need to upgrade the battery for longer continuous cutting life. This is my first battery powered chainsaw and thus far (one month and several big jobs in) I’m quite impressed with quick delivery and design, function and durability of the saw.
It would warrant 5 stars but for the 2.5 ah battery paired with this chainsaw, which has proven to have too limited a use-per-charge for my first several jobs, which included cutting down several 8-12” trees over several days. Exacerbating the matter, my work was a good distance from the nearest charger outlet, and the battery typically required 20-30 minutes of cool down time (in 30-40 degree weather) before the charger would allow charging. If I had it do do over again I should have upgraded to the 5 or 6ah battery, or invested in two 4ah or higher batteries from the start. I’ve learned my lesson, and now realize a greater investment in battery power will be called for with future cordless lawn and garden tools. I do have confidence in Greenworks, and I hope to benefit from building my 60v tool inventory in the future.
Highly recommended! Don't wait, make your life easier today!

This is a fantastic tool to have! So quick, easy, and reliable with all the power you need. No gas, no pull to start, no keeping the chainsaw running between cuts. When your ready to make a cut, just pull the trigger and it's that simple. I have a full set of Greenworks tools and batteries and it has made my life so much easier and cleaner. This is a game changer, and I'll never go back.
I needed something to clean up a couple of acres of deadfall and this turned out to be just the tool to do it. I already owned a Green Works 60v weed eater so the batteries work for both and I can keep going all day with either one.
Great saw, great value. Capable for maintenance, not a commercial tool, although someone who knew how to use a saw could probably get years out of it. There is a YT video of the saw disassembled, well made.
