What Customers Are Saying
The battery-powered chainsaw is praised for its performance, power, and ease of use.

The saw has ample power to handle cutting logs and branches, with the battery lasting a good amount of time before needing to be recharged. Customers appreciate the intuitive start-up process and the ability to quickly swap out batteries. Some minor drawbacks were mentioned, such as the chain occasionally coming loose and limited battery life for more intensive jobs, but overall the consensus is that this is an excellent battery-powered chainsaw that delivers great value.

Would Not RecommendI have used this saw once, the oiler leaks profusely, there needs to be a fix for this, as the saw is new, everything was clean in the oiler area. A catch tray under the oiling mechanism?

FUTURE USE
Would RecommendI bought the 40V chainsaw because it was on sale and have not had a chance to use it yet. I expect it to perform like other 40V chainsaws. I wish there was a carrying case option to purchase and not sure why one is not offered. It would be a lot easier to transport with a carrying case.

Chainsaw
Would Not RecommendDifficult to tighten chain. Once you take the cover off the first time, it seems like the gear to tighten the chain doesn’t work.

Hmmmm.
Would Not RecommendBought this saw two weeks ago after using my friends 40v Greenworks saw. The power behind this saw is unmatched. I was very surprised at the power. I have a large amount of saplings and small trees to cut and was excited have such a strong tool to do it with. HOWEVER: The plastic "nubs" that hold the bar in place were incredibly weak and have already worn through and no longer hold the bar in place. The bar swung upward......spinning the chain at my hand. So the saw can no longer ...

Battery dies right after warranty expires
Would Not RecommendBought this a couple years ago. Nowhere near as powerful as a real gas saw but was fine for doing basic cleanup of small branches. First, even when new, the battery never got anywhere near the advertised run time. But like I said, it was fine for periodic yard cleanup. Then, literally a month after the 2 year battery warranty expired, I can't even cut through a 4" log with a full charge battery with it stalling out and blinking red with no power. New batteries for these things are almost as muc...
