What Customers Are Saying
The Kobalt 80V cordless chainsaw is a powerful and convenient tool for homeowner and light-duty use. It is praised for its performance, handling medium to large branches and trees with ease, while being lightweight and easy to use.

Would Not RecommendI really like my Kobalt tools – I have numerous 80v devices which includes the self-propelled mower, blower, and 10” pole chainsaw. The pole saw is amazing so I had always wanted their 18” chainsaw and when a pine tree fell in my yard I decided to purchase one online. I have a gas powered saw but I’m a disabled vet with some spine damage so I can no longer pull start those tools anymore… especially when they don’t want to run. That is why I had high hopes for the Kobalt 18” chainsaw. I didn’...

Buy yourself some chain bar oil - NOW !
Would RecommendIts very strong and powerful. My only complaint is that it needs chain bar oil, but thats not included in the box. And the oil well is dry when it arrives. Seems to me a simple, easy, customer friendly thing to include the oil. Otherwise its a formidable tool.

Chain kept popping off
Would Not RecommendThe saw did what I needed to; however, few minutes into sawing the chain popped off. After two more times of the chain popping off I decided that I had cut enough limbs away from the roof of workshop. Haven't used the saw since, not sure if it was saw dust getting in the mechanics and causing the chain to pop off or if it was something I was doing. I made sure the chain had tension before running between each attempt as well.

Cordless Chainsaw Works Well
Would RecommendWith only using the chainsaw once, the chainsaw had much better power than I expected. It did a good job on the small job cutting up medium size wood. A negative is that the chainsaw was fairly heavy with the large battery and battery life is short, but having a spare battery is a plus. The batteries do charge within 30 minutes and the batteries are interchangeable with other cordless kobalt products.

Heavy, but that also adds stability when cutting.
Would RecommendVery powerful and cut through pine and oak trees easily. So easy to use with the battery powered motor.
