Prior to purchasing this chainsaw, I had borrowed a Greenworks trimmer from a neighbor, as my old one had finally bit the dust. I was apprehensive with using battery-powered yard tools, but upon using the trimmer, I was instantly sold. I dropped it back off, thanked my neighbor, and promptly purchased the trimmer.
Shortly after ordering the trimmer, I decided to order the chainsaw, as I have wanted one but hadn't previously purchased one.
I don't really have a need for a chainsaw on a regular basis, but there are times when these old trees fall in our neighborhood and I feel useless because I can't help move them from the streets.
No more. Since purchasing the chainsaw, I eagerly awaited the chance to use it. Lo and behold, I was given that chance a few weeks back after a gnarly windstorm knocked down and old tree behind a couple of our houses.
I promptly chugged my coffee and got to work. Using the chainsaw to trim the tree was like cutting through butter with a knife made of lava. It was dreamy. It was perfect. And oh so quiet!
I am sold on Greenworks. These tools are rad, and I will be recommended them to everyone forever.
I swapped from a gas powered chainsaw and I have been very pleased. Great power and I love the quiet use. Doesn't disturb the game on my hunting property.
Have had gas chainsaws over the years and was a bit hesitant to go battery. But I have been pleasantly surprised. The power and agility of this saw is great. No drop in function from the gas units.
The chainsaw worked great right out of the box so I headed out to our forest to take down a dead fir tree. Needed to adjust the chain tension but that was simple to do.
I bought the pole saw which I love but it was too long at nearly 11 feet?! So I removed the extension piece and rewired the battery to the saw head and now it is 6 feet long and very easy to maneuver and cut with !! This saw will cut through anything and the reduced length makes it a breeze to handle. I know I voided warranty but I’d rather have a saw I can handle than a guarantee from the company about a product I know works great!
Does not come with installation or operating instructions.
I would recommend this to a friend!
