Great for tree trimming

Bought this for trimming small branches from a variety of trees in my area. Seemed to works great. Later used it to cut large overgrowth trees of very soft wood, had a problem with the chain keep coming off. Later removed the chain and bar and examined and discovered the groove in the bar was full of green pulp etc. First used a flat screwdriver blade to circle the groove to get the gunk out. Later discovered the screwdriver was not thin enough to get all the way down in the blade, so used a utility knife to dig all of the gunk out, that that seemed to solve the problem of chain coming off for me. Saw works great cut several limbs up to 6" diameter. I was using 5 amp hour battery as I already had 2 for my 25" lawnmower which I just love. Great Power
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tough, well built workhorse

After complaining about the problems starting my gas chainsaw, I was given this Greenworks chainsaw for my birthday. It has taken a chore and transformed it into a pleasure. This saw has the power it promised and cuts timber as easily as the 45cc unit it replaced with none of the noise, fumes and cord pulling. Remember to adjust the chain tension after about 5 or 10 minutes of cutting and you will have no problem with the chain coming off the bar as some have reported. The 4 amp hour battery will last through more than 15 cuts through 15 inch pine or 12 inch oak .

This chainsaw is light, no as loud as a gas operated saw, very easy to operate, performs like any other gas chainsaw without having to deal with adding gas. The 16” is great for all those small jobs you have around your house. I have purchased 8 different Greenworks tools in the last two years but was reluctant to buy a battery operated chainsaw. I’am very happy that I made this purchase.

Wielding a 10-ft chainsaw is no picnic, but this one’s more nearly cake

I just added the pole saw and trimmer to my Greenworks array (mower, snow blower, other bone fides). So far I have used the saw for branches up to 3 inches in diameter and the trimmer mainly on an ungainly thicket of forsythias. Afterward, I used the trimmer “off-label” as a weedwhacker to clear weeds and tall grass, thanks to the articulating trimmer head. The trimmer works surprisingly well in this way, cutting a wide swath that line trimmers can’t. The work took hours, not because of the tools but because of the scope of the project. All this was possible with a 5-amp battery on a single charge. That battery is heavier than the included 2-amp one. But that’s an advantage, as it is a better counterweight to tool head, especially the saw when fully extended.
The tool heads (saw and trimmer) work as well as you can expect. The saw cuts like butter, as they say. And the trimmer is sharp and doesn’t clog. But there are several minor ways the base and extensions could be improved. The base features a fixed, extensible pole. If that pole were detachable and the tool head could attach directly to the base for a shorter tool, that would add versatility and maybe even eliminate the need for a conventional trimmer or saw. Also, connecting the fixed pole to the tool’s shaft (or the accessory extension in between) is made tedious by two-inch threaded connections. A bayonet mount would be faster and easier, although the threaded system was likely chosen as more robust and because it helps alignand cinch the coupling. That tight fit also means the sections are hard to separate, however. Something might have been added here for leverage or grip. As with other Greenworks tools, the shoulder strap is rudimentary, and its clasp is easily bent and won’t stay on. What this tool really needs is a harness that attaches to a fulcrum so that you could better put your back and shoulders into it. As it is, using this device is an arm workout, made none the easier because the lower handle offers little purchase. (How’s your backhand?)
These are quibbles. This kit solves a lot of problems for me, affordably and, I trust reliably.

Great chainsaw! Really good power and just the right size. I have been able to tackle several projects helping people clear tree and limb debris from their yards due to past storms in the area.

Poor Clunky Top-Heavy Design
on June 6, 2022
Posted by: Mike yo
Really disappointed with the design on this Greenworks product. It's very top-heavy - almost unusable at full length. It has a 3-piece shaft which suggests lots of lengths available, but in the end, the only option is full length, or removing the center section to reduce a couple feet. Even this sounds easier said than done - the interface between the sections is poor, requiring delicate work to get them assembled and brute-force to pull them apart. Highly impractical to adjust length in the field. It's so unwieldy I actually couldn't find ANYthing in my yard to trim with it. Very disappointing. I'm going to find a telescoping pole-saw that is infinitely (and easily) adjustable and has better balance with more weight at the hilt and much less at the tip - even if I have to go corded or gas-powered.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is a very good product and powerful, unfortunately the connection to put the poles together is kind of hard to remove and it is kind of heavy to extend all the poles to used.

Purchased 16" bar with 60v battery. Very convenient to use. Purchased 60v as I also have 60 self propelled lawnmower. Rating would have been a '5', however discerning that when saw is stored the chain bar oil leaks-yes cap is securely fastened. How can saw be stored without leaking oil.
