I love all of my GreenWorks Power Tools, They all use the 60V batteries and I can simply swap out the battery with which tool I am using at the time. Works great, easy to assemble and Arrived in under a week.
i am very pleased with this pole saw so far using it for delimbing ponderosa pine trees with 4" limbs reaching 8-10 ft up the tree. im 5'7" and using the pole w/0 the extension piece works well and will probably work well for taller person. it does use oil so need to keep watch on that and battery is easy to put in and take out with the clip. thank-you...instructions were good for assembly and just had to tighten the chain a few times at the beginning. the 10" saw blade is better than the 8" for what i need done.
I bought this primarily for my woodworking hobby. But also plan to use it for taking down some small trees around my business. It is a cutting machine so far!!!
I'll try not to blow smoke up your bum, but this thing is pretty freakin' awesome. I was worried about the power of a battery operated chainsaw as well as the longevity of the battery when out in the woods. Happy to say it cuts like a hot knife through butter. The 18 inch blade made quick work of 6-8" cuts and then handled a 12-14" cut quite handily. As for the battery lasting, the beauty of this thing is that it doesn't keep running like a typical gas saw; you press the trigger and the power is almost immediately on...and then immediately off - kind of a nice safety feature too. Which, again, helps with maintaining battery life. I'm definitely happy with the purchase. Best part, I can leave it in the utility room of my house without having to smell gas fumes, like I did with my old one.
If you're curious, give it a shot. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Happy cutting!
I have used the Greenworks chain saw extensively since receiving it. It has worked well and exceeded my expectations in all categories. It has ample power and the battery life allows for plenty of work to be accomplished.
Worked great and lots of power, but overheated a little too quickly and shut down. Had to let it sit quite a while in order to use it again. It also ate through the 2.5 Ah battery very quickly. Needs to be paired with the 6.0 Ah battery for optimal performance.
