Anyone who buys this chainsaw needs to buy two batteries. The standard 2 Ah battery for cutting the tree down and limbing and then the 4 Ah for cutting up your saw logs. They work in perfect combination because the 4Ah is too heavy for cutting the tree down and limbing purposes. The 2 Ah doesn't have the endurance for cutting all of the logs you want to split for firewood like the 4 Ah does. The heavier weight of the 4 Ah is not a big deal for cutting all of the logs because the saw is resting on the tree laying down. So they are a perfect combination. You can also cut some logs with the 2 Ah. A good size tree maybe 4 logs. So with the 4 Ah you can add another 8 logs for a total of 12. By that time your tired anyway. Load them up and take them to the log splitter, put the batteries back on charge and have a drink. I also recommend that you get the Oregon Power Sharp chainsaw chains with the stone which allows you to sharpen the chain in the woods in about 30 seconds. Greenworks should add this high tech option to their line as another environmental saver. Remember that with an 18" bar you can cut a 36" tree.
I bought this chainsaw several weeks ago and it has been great! Uses the same battery as my other GreenWorks tools through a 10" diameter log with ease. Love the fact that I don't have to deal with gas and oil anymore (except chain oil). So far the cutting will last past the time it takes to charge my second battery.
Just bought the pole saw and used it once to cut down small limbs overhanging driveway, which is .6 miles long. it worked great and held a charge for a couple of hours of work (on & off). Only issue was chain get jammed and coming off, but it was easy to put it back on.
This is the third Greenworks 80V tool that I've purchase this year (also have a string trimmer and blower). I needed something to cut dead branches up to 3 inches in diameter. I used it last weekend for the first time and it's a beast. It cut branches like butter which saved lots of time over a hand saw. Be aware, it is a little heavy (why I gave it 4 stars). There is not much Greenworks can do (weight driven by motor and battery), but it is something you need to be aware of.
I purchased this tool, and immediately put it to work on a large fur tree. The 80v pole saw did an amazing job, even making short work of largest limbs that I could find. The only problem is that it's so much fun to use you might find yourself over trimming the tree, just for your own entertainment.
