I seldom used our gas-powered chainsaw, maybe because it was scary but also because it was difficult to start and often needed carburetor repair from non-use (My bad!). So the Chainworks 80-volt is just what I needed: easy to start, no carburetor, and powerful enough to cut up large trees and cracked branches. After a heavy and wet snowstorm, I can go out and cut the broken limbs. After a windstorm downed a large tree in our front yard, I could cut it up into split-able pieces for firewood. The pile of dead branches is easily split for burning. No muss. No fuss. No gasoline-mixing. No fear.
So much easier to use. This is my sixth Greenworks tool in the 80v line and I’m all in! I have the blower, the mower, the tiller, the hedge trimmer, the edger, and now this!
So far, I have used it for about an hour and it worked very well. Light weight easy to turn and maneuver around thick branches. Only disappointment is that the on/off safety handle in the front seems to be light weight plastic, not sure how durable it is going to be with extend use of the chainsaw. Time will tell.
