I now have the Greenworks 60 volt weedeater, blower, hedge trimmer and chainsaw. They are all quality build, easy to setup & use. Great set of tools. I have not used the chainsaw yet, but slipped the battery in and fired it up. The other tools all get 5 stars and after using the chainsaw I expect the same, but since I haven't actually used it to saw, I got to go 4 stars until tested. Nothing like not having to mess with gas & oil, instant start and all the power you need.
Amazing to not have to worry about pull starting an engine that has sat for a year. Starts with a squeeze and cuts like a dream. Very impressed with a battery powered chainsaw, I was skeptical at first but was very surprised. The only thing i would do was have a bigger AH battery. I have a 5AH battery from my blower so I used that. You will definitely need another battery if you plan to cut into a bigger tree.
This is my second chainsaw from Greenworks - The fist saw I had 2 problems with #1) the saw would leek oil, when I asked about this they told me I was to remove all of the oil when not in use - very impractical ! #2) the screw / gear to tighen the chain was misformed and would not move - Finally Greenworks replaced my old saw with a new one, I truly apricated that but soon after my saw was stolen from my yard I baught a new saw and noticed some great improvments, hopfully the oil wont leek, the screws to the chain cover stay on cover when opened, the wrench is now separte and dosent slide out of the handel, I used my new saw for the past 2 days cutting 3 piles of debris for bulk trash and it cut through everything like it was BUTTER!
Received the saw in a timely manner and it works great - had to tighten the chain once already --great saw for us elderly people.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello karensuec,
Thank you for your positive feedback! We are glad to read that overall, you have been enjoying this Chain Saw. We pride ourselves on creating long lasting tools that have great use and function. Please keep in mind that new chains tend to stretch; so be sure to check the chain tension frequently and tension as required. However, be sure to never tension a warm chain before storing as chains shrink when cooling and this can damage the chain, bar and saw.
