What Customers Are Saying
The Kobalt 80V cordless chainsaw is a capable tool for homeowner use, with customers praising its power, battery life, and ease of use compared to gas-powered models. The saw effectively handles medium-sized trees and branches, with the battery lasting 20-45 minutes depending on the wood thickness. Users appreciate the lack of fumes, noise, and pull-starting associated with gas saws. However, the saw may struggle with very thick or dense wood, and the chain can sometimes come off during aggressive cutting in brush or with smaller branches.

Would Not RecommendI purchased my first Kobalt 80 v. 18" chainsaw three years ago, but within a month I couldn't adjust the chain tension. The screw was obviously stripped--I brought it back to my local Lowes hoping for a repair part, but the salesperson said parts were unavailable and just gave me a new saw in the box, battery and everything. Now, that saw has developed the same problem and while you can turn the adjustment screw all the way to the end without the bar or chain attached, the minute there's any t...

Great for what I need!
Would Not RecommendSo far so good the batteries lasted for 40 ft tree and still had a bar left. Good for what I need but a professional would need a couple of more batteries.

Plenty of power, perfect blade length
Would RecommendFor an electric chainsaw it's more than powerful enough to do just about anything you need to do I was really amazed. Even my friends are considering giving up their gas sauce to get an electric saw.

Great addition to 80-volt tool set
Would RecommendI had two 30+ft spruce trees die a year ago so wood was dried and seasoned. A recent storm uprooted them so I had to finish taking them down. I was able to fell both trees before my 20 year old gas powered chainsaw gave up on me, but I still needed to cut up the downed trees and clean up all the branches. After reading numerous reviews on several different chainsaws (paying attention to the negative reviews for consistency in complaints) I settled on this product. True to the reviews the 2 AH ba...
