This 80V chainsaw cut trees and 6x6 posts like a hot knife through whipped butter! I will never go back to gas again! Great tool for around the house or around the forest!!
Just used it for the first time today. I cut down a branch the size of my outstretched hand with ease. Pretty happy with the product. Have used Husky products in the past, but shifted over to full electric
I have been using the 80v line of tools for some time. I recently brought a house and needed to clear the yard of some small trees. This saw worked perfectly for my application. Nice quiet operation and simple to use. You need to practice safety precautions of course while using the saw. I didn’t have any issues or any close calls, no kickbacks while using the saw. The included 2ah battery lasted a decent amount of time. I was able to cut down a small apple tree on one charge. The included charger charges the battery in 30 minutes. The saw is built well and I feel it will last for years. I am enjoying using this saw.
I like the power , the quick start , stop operation . I like the ease of the battery power , no messing with two cycle engine . But after a half hour of operation the chain pops off the bar from cutting branches, even if the correct tension is on the chain !! I've cut down an estimated 200 trees every year for the past 20 years, so I'm experienced at operating a chainsaw , but keeping the chain on the bar is very difficult with this saw !!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your honest review! We are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with the chain not staying on. Its important to remember 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. Please ensure that when you remove the side cover the following parts are there and in order: sprocket (chain wheel), chain wheel washer, and finally the c-clip/retaining ring. These parts are imperative when it comes to keeping the chain on. If you notice any of these parts missing or you are still experiencing issues, please contact our helpline at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We would be happy to look into this!
I was thinking of buying a gas operated chain saw but after further consideration bought this saw for a number of reasons. 1 it was battery powered, 2 it was quite, 3 it had an extension that allowed me to reach out if reach branches, and 4 it was provided me the most powerful saw all wrapped into these attributes. It so easy and safe to use. A great purchase that paid for itself because hiring a contractor would have cost the equivalent of the saw.
The product description includes the following: "8' extension pole for a maximum reach of 11 feet." However, the "extension" pole IS NOT an extension pole, it is a fixed length pole. The "maximum reach of 11 feet" implies there is a shorter (minimum) reach -- there is not! There is no way to remove any section of this pole (the wiring runs through all 3 pieces). Really misleading!!! This is an 11 foot pole. Period.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello LLAN,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We are sorry to hear that you felt the description misleading. The extension poles only have a fixed length and are not adjustable. While the handle on this model cannot be shortened, we would like to refer you to our 40V model, 20672, or our 60V model, 1405602 as they have a removable middle extension. See links below.
Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please feel speak to Greenworks Customer Care directly 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). They're always happy to provide help.
Pole saw works great to clean up dead branches on the edge our my property. I purchased it because I needed to create a fire break and trim up to 10' vertically. This Pole Saw fits the job perfectly.
