Love this chainsaw!

Haven't used a chainsaw in about 25 years. Bought the chainsaw and mower, so I have 3 batteries and 2 chargers. Used 3 batteries to limb and cut up the tree in the photo before my thumb started to cramp. Next weekend I finished the job with less than 2 batteries. The saw is very easy to use and went thru this tree like butter. There is a little noise from the gears and chain, but it is much quieter than a gas saw. And the sound is lower pitched and constant. None of the high pitched revving of a gas saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A few years old now. Started right up this spring.2years Ago I cut 30+ Dead ash trees avg 80+feet tall. I cut one down the year before. After realizing i had to take 30 down I bought a 2nd batter. I cut almost all threes down 1 after another. Delimbed. Cut trees in 8 feel lengths dragged into piles. Gave half to my neighbor and cleared tree area in a few months Working full time. Cut ,cut , charge , move stuff and repeat.

This saw eats trees! I am so happy with the performance and how quiet it is. I cycle through three batteries and never have to stop. The only nitpicking "issue" is the string that holds the oil cap. It is too long/flimsy and is annoying to get back into the oil reservoir. My mother-in-law even took it for a spin and loved it!

I am the owner of a Christmas tree lot. We trim and put a fresh cut on every tree we sell. In the past we have used gas operated saws, which have been problematic for employees to start, when you have a line of customers the last thing you want is a chainsaw that will not start. I was considering other options, when a customer / friend asked if I ever considered a battery operated chainsaw. I had not and was honestly a little skeptical that a battery operated saw would handle the demands.
I was wrong, the 80V 18 inch battery operated saw was easier to use than the gas saws, no priming, no choking, no fueling, no pull starting, it was safer to use than gas, when you let go of the trigger the chain stopped. The limits of the battery was never tested due to it lasting the entire day of on and off use, it never got low on power. We used this saw on rainy damp days, cold days and the performance did not falter. I would not make any changes to this saw, it is a quality tool that far exceeded my expectations and did not fall short in any way.

Cutting son of a gun
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: JuanLesKar
I've had this saw 4 years or so. I have a sawmill and use it to cut trees down, trim logs, cut firewood, slabwood and branches. Mostly Doug Fir but cut all types. Biggest tree I cut was 24" Pine. I've gone thru a few chains and just put a new bar on. My charger quit working and was promptly replaced, just under the warranty period. Customer service has been great, I love the saw and folks are usually impressed how well it works - its all about keeping the chain razor sharp! Great tool - just noticed the 60V saw is rated more powerful??Might have to try that next!

I have used this for almost 1 year.Felled some large Eucs and a few smaller oaks.
I have 3 batteries and keep charging while sawing.Use lots of thin bar oil ! Buy some spare chains,spare bar and the trick sharpener file .Use a depth gauge for the rackers/depth.
A big advantage seldom mentioned is the very low noise level. It won't annoy your neighbors but fr more important if you are felling - you can hear the tree start to crack and bail .With a gas chainsaw ,the falling tree can be an unannounced surprise ! I also use a huge kinetic recovery rope to ensure the tree falls in the right direction. A huge Jameson slingshot on an 8 ft pole is another useful tool.

Initial impression.

I first used this 80V saw to cut up some juniper for firewood, and was impressed by the overall performance of the saw. After about eight cuts of average 20" rounds that took about 15 minutes, the fully charged 2 Ah battery still had two lights showing. At 14.6 lbs with the 2 Ah battery the weight is very manageable, and I believe would be even with the 4 Ah battery. Battery recharge time is less than 30 minutes for the 2 Ah battery.
Unlike the 40V #20312 Greenworks saw I have had for several years, the 80V saw does not have a variable speed trigger. This is disappointing to me because in some situations it is nice to be able to slow the chain speed. The tool in the handle is a loose fit and may fall out, should be a more positive "click in-click out" fit.
Cannot comment on durability at this time, as I have not had a chance to use it much. Will leave more feedback after I have used the saw more extensively.
