I love this chain saw and my other Greenworks products. I also have ave a leaf blower, string line trimmer and tiller attachment. No more throwing my shoulder out trying to start the gas powered tools. The battery powered tools are even more powerful than gas ones. Im very pleased and would recommend Geenworks products to everyone.
I got this after having an amazing experience with my Greenworks 60V Pole Saw. The 80V Pole Saw has an extra foot of reach (9 feet), and extra power. This has worked amazingly when dealing with dry, dead branches. Moving from hard woods to dead palm fronds, this saw cuts like a warm knife through butter. It is also quite easy to use, and my neighbors have benefited from both the quietness of the tool, and also from my volunteering to help them with trimming their trees. As an added bonus, it is extremely to break it down to fit in a truck bed or car trunk; loosening a couple of nuts with the included tool and the saw folds up into small sections. I love this tool, and anybody in my neighborhood just needs to ask and I'll gladly help trim your trees for you!
A friend of mine bought me the 18" Pro 80V Cordless Chainsaw as a 'relief' gift when we were hit with Hurricane Laura in late August. It took out 10+ very tall trees in our yard. This chainsaw was a Godsend! It cut through the trunks like they were butter, held it's charge for a good amount of time and the rapid charger charged in about the amount of time it took me to rest. I would highly recommend to the novice (like me) or a pro. Good sharp chain too.
Power seems equivalent to a gas powered saw. We cut down a tree about 14" in diameter, delimbed it and cut into about 18" sections and still had juice to spare.
I have not had the chance to use my saw to cut down any trees yet. But I have used it for pruning limbs and brush around the place. I really love the fact that I don't have to carry around a running saw or try to start a saw on a ladder or in a rough place. The balance is good with a 2 AH battery in the saw making it easy to control. Glad I bought it looking forward to trying it out on something lager.
