don't buy the chainsaw.. buy this little thing it is just as powerful and you can cut from 14 feet away. This honestly changed my life. I did 9 hours of cutting on one battery with some to spare.. I cut a mountain of trees down with this thing.
Have switched all outside tools to Greenworks. Having a heck of a time finding 10" 1/4" low pitch ,58 tooth replacement chainsaws for their pole saw. The new one uses 3/8ths pitch apparently. Also several of their chainsaws I've purchased are wearing out the soft metal motor sprockets and hopefully not difficult to buy replacement parts.
Construction & Appreciation: The minute I constructed the Greenworks 80v Cordless Pole Saw, I knew I would like it. The instant it’s assembled, added oil, and inserted the battery with a snap, you know it’s made right. The balance is incredibly evident and appreciated. I am lucky enough to compare both this new 80V version, and an older Greenworks 20062 Electric Pole Saw with a detachable electric chainsaw (which has been PRICELESS for many years now). Sure, the detachable chain saw works well, but the ability and dexterity of this new 80v pole saw to thread through every branch on it’s way to it’s intended target branch is clear… it’s so much EASIER TO manipulate!
Satisfying Operation: Once you pull the trigger, the satisfying ‘whirl’ sound of the brushless motor is like cutting with a laser. It made minced-meat out of the branch I haven’t been able to reach for years. Within seconds, that troublesome branch was no more and headed for the recycler. Battery/Charger: I appreciated the simplicity of the alignment rail on the 80v battery. It makes easy to match up the battery to the charger. It slides down with a satisfying ‘thud’ as it gets into charging position. The larger LED clearly indicates whether it needs a charge or not. The battery’s test button to show battery charge level is also a nice touch! No More Sore Back: My work was quickly over as I searched through neighbors yards for potential jobs :) . I will have to offer up my services now that I have this lightweight pole saw, and my back isn’t aching from using it.
I don’t plan to stop here, Greenworks’ products are so well-made, I will continue to add more fantastic equipment to my already GREEN collection of very capable tools!
This case fits the saw perfectly and even has enough room to carry a pint of bar oil. Provides excellent protection for the saw in storage or transit and is easy to carry.
Easy to use, maintain and ready to go at a moments notice. If you use a gas powered saw this will be very familiar except for the spark plug, gas/oil mixture and noise. Only recommendation is if you have a lot to cut keep a second battery on charge so you avoid any downtime.
The pole saw is awesome, works great! However, there is no place on the website or other sites showing what type of chain we need for replacement? I have purchased 3 different 10” chains & non of them fit properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there,
GreenWorks appreciates your positive review. The chain on this pole saw is an Oregon brand chain. Here are the specs:
Oregon 40DL 3/8 low profile 1.58 Gauge
Oregon chains are stocked in many home improvement and hardware stores. If you wish to avoid the hassle of locating the chain yourself, please contact GreenWorks part team directly at 1-888-909-6757 and we will be happy to help you place an order.
WE have three products that use the 80v battery and I love them all. We have had electric and gas and this is so easy. The extension pole is very long and heavy, so its a little awkard. I am a 5' 4 48 year old female and I can use it with the support shoulder strap but I do tire out using it. my friend who had never use any power tool before used it and loved it so much she put it on her christmas list.
