24V 10" Cordless Compact Chainsaw (Great For Storm Clean-Up, Pruning, and Firewood), 2.0Ah Battery and Charger Included

4/3/18 Update: Unit passed an extreme durability test! We were affected by the wine country fires which decimated our trail system. We have been using this unit as our go-to chainsaw for trail repair as it is small and light and works great for cutting steps and side stabilizers as well as clearing downed trees up to 8 inches or so. We were traversing a gnarly section of destroyed trail over a very steep slope. I set the saw down for a second to clear some debris and it slid off the rock I had set it on. It proceeded to bounce end over end 80 feet down the 55 degree slope before disappearing over a set of cliff bands. I was pretty sure I was going to need a new saw. We headed up the canyon and made our way down to the creek where I found the saw wedged in a stump. The blade was a bit bent, not surprising after its 150 foot tumble over rocks. I disassembled the blade and tried the trigger. It fired right up! I then pounded the bar flat with a rock (you do what you can :-) and reinstalled it. I proceeded to use it for the rest of our trail work that morning. Unbelievable. I think I will treat it to a new bar and chain though! Original review: I just gave the saw a nice workout doing some trail clearing. The summary is that it worked great. A huge advantage for trail work is that it is light so you can carry it in a ways. I was mostly cutting Manzanita (which is a very hard wood) limbs up to about 2 inches in diameter. It cuts quite well with some caveats. First, it operates at a much slower speed than a gas unit. This means as you start a cut it can tend to chatter a bit. You have to get into the cut carefully and then let the saw do the work as it cuts. You can't really press through it like you can a gas powered unit. The second thing that I noticed is because of the chatter, it is much harder to cut with the top of the bar. The third issue is that it really doesn't cut as cleanly as a gas unit, so I would be reluctant to use it for garden pruning. It may be my technique, but some of the cuts were pretty rough. I cut about 20 limes and still had 2/3 of the (large) battery left, so the battery life seems quite good. It does (as others have said) go through a lot of bar oil. If i had a lot to do I would bring an extra battery and a cup of bar oil with me. I have also cut some fresh doug fir with it. The diameter was around 8 inches and once you get into the cut, it is smoother cutting this softer wood. As I said before, you just let the saw do the cutting and don't bear down hard on it or it will chatter. In summary, I will be keeping my gas unit, but this is our new trail maintenance saw. Light, good battery life, it should go through anything we need in the way of small trees and brush. It is also nice that it doesn't get hot like a gas powered saw, so there is reduced fire danger, and you can toss it in a backpack without waiting for it to cool.

I have been skeptical about cordless outdoor equipment like chain saws, trimmers, and blowers. My bias kept me from even considering cordless equipment for my outdoor work for years. I ordered this chainsaw since I could not find a reasonably priced gas powered chain saw that was 10". This Greenworks chain saw has changed my mind. I have over 100 trees (walnut, hazel nut, pine, black locust) to prune every spring. Over the last 2 days I 'tried out' this little marvel. I was not tender with it. It has worked flawlessly with power I never imagined a cordless tool could generate. If I had gotten this gem a couple of years ago, I could have saved about $500 dollars and still gotten my work done. If it holds up, this will be the best piece of equipment I have ever bought. The chainsaw is light. I can maneuver it into very difficult places for equipment without effort. Part of what makes this so easy is that the machine is not running, unlike my gas powered saws, while I position myself to prune 'tricky' branches in a crotch of the tree. The chainsaw only runs when I want to prune. My gas powered machines are always running as I move from 1 location to another and as I get the right angle on a branch. The money saved on gas and oil may not be enough to pay the debt obama ran up, but it does save me pennies, and keeps the air a whole lot cleaner without generating the exhaust and smoke from my 2 cycle machines. So far, the chainsaw has had more than ample power for the pruning jobs I have this spring. I have cut a sample of the largest branches I will need to prune this year. The little wonder performed as well as, and perhaps a lot better, than my gas powered chainsaws. I am not cutting down whole trees but I do need to trim branches of substantial girth. Part of the reason some of the branches I need to prune are so big is from my not being able to work outside for the last couple of years due to medical problems. This is part of the reason I like the machine so much it is light enough and powerful enough for me to use as I rebuild my strength and stamina. It doesn't take tools to tighten the chain. What a time and labor saving benefit this is. A couple of turns on a couple of knobs and the chainsaw is back in service. The price I found on amazon with others it offers as well as other non-amazon sources is the best bargain I found. Some of the other chain saws list for a lower price but they don't have the battery and charger included in the offer. Amazon customer service is confused about whether or not some of their deals include a battery and charger. This Greenworks chainsaw page is clear: chainsaw, battery, and charger are all included. Some of the other brands mention battery but nothing about a charger and some of the other brands left me uncertain about what was included in the price. I called customer service but got nothing from it that clarified exactly what was included. Unless this chainsaw disintegrates on the next branch I try to prune, this is one of the best purchases I have made at amazon. Update: 3/21/18 I have been using this chainsaw for about 2 weeks now. When I get paid in a couple of weeks, I am going to buy another 1. It has performed so well, I want to have a replacement on hand in case something goes wrong. By going wrong I mean if I drop it or get it caught in a tree as it falls down and breaks or if I run over it in my car. I noticed some reviewers were not happy with the machine and I can only guess there was a problem with quality control at the factory. They must have taken all the bad hits because I can only report amazing performance from mine. I have double purchased a few remarkable items like a vacuum cleaner. I learned a long time ago that some treasures of manufacturing are only good for a little while as the companies go for up grades that are not or modifications that ruin the item. This is one of the best tool purchases I have made in 30 years on my little farm.

Got this because the lady wanted a lighter-weight chainsaw—something that won’t leave her needing a nap after pruning or storm cleanup. Spoiler: it’s way more manageable than those beastly gas chainsaws, which means less “where’s the nearest bench” and more “I got this.” It’s compact but packs enough punch to handle branches without sounding like a jet engine taking off. Perfect for storm cleanup, pruning, or pretending you’re a lumberjack without the lumberjack back pain. Bonus: cordless means no cords to trip over, and less chance of accidentally spraying yourself with gas. Win-win.

It works for cutting small limbs off of small trees. I actually have cut down moderately sized tress with this chainsaw. I cut down two purple-leaf plumb trees with this tool. They were diseased and needed to go. My BF and I tackled the problem with this 10-incher. Easy to use, easy to maintain and powerful enough for small jobs.

I bought this two months ago to use on fallen limbs from storms, not to take down large trees. It looks like a tinkertoy version of a chainsaw, but it does the job perfectly. I just finished a day of cleanup from the remnants of Hurricane Michael. I had several tons of tree limbs to deal with, ranging from 1-2 inch thick limbs to 6-8 inch ones. The chainsaw performed superbly. The battery impressed me. I did two hours of work in the morning, recharged it over lunch (it doesn't take long), and then worked another two hours. The chain came off once, but it was super easy to reinstall. You just need to remember to add chainsaw oil now and then. Overall, this is the perfect chainsaw for someone who only occasionally needs one, and then only needs it for light to medium duty. It is lightweight and can be handled easily by seniors. I would heartily recommend this to friends.

I started buying greenworks about a year and a half ago. When they were not nearly as expensive as they are now. Tariffs are just about to start but these tools have doubled in price in the last year and a half. I bought my 16" chainsaw for the same price as this 10" chainsaw. If you can afford greenworks, it is decent for battery operation and batteries are interchangeable. I love that they are from Canada, which I have dealt with customer service on a few items, at greenworks, and they were helpful and pleasant. Only wanted to help. A lot of places accross seas only make excuses. I have the 16" and the 18" greenworks chainsaw. I also have a couple of 6" chainsaw. I wanted something that wouldn't be a burden to carry around on 40 acres. I absolutely love this little chainsaw. It does the job without worry of hurting yourself. 12" around trees-no problem. It has no tightening mechanism which doesn't hinder it. I can use all the batteries that come with the other greenworks tools. It's not loud at all. Nice little machine.

This saw is best for limbing and not good for cutting notches and back cutting to fell trees. This things jumps around a lot and kicks because it's not going at or above 10k CPM and that's dangerous! Do I recommend this saw to anyone? NO! Even if you're a professional arborist... NO! To Greenworks You need to up the speed of the motor, the torque and the horsepower of this saw. The motor needs to run with a bigger ampere hour battery and the motor need to be sufficiently cooled. This saw goes through chain lube like a sailor goes through liquor. (An update... October 2022) After letting it sit over the winter and summer, I take it apart to clean it make sure the lubrication holes are clear, fill the chain oil reservoir with oil to the exact line, close it up, reassemble it, tension the chain just right. Put the battery in that is fully charged (I've always taken it out when it's fully charged, otherwise you can damage NiCad batteries), put the battery firmly in place, as it click. Click the safety switch then the trigger, runs for about 8 seconds and turns off. That means one of two things, either your battery is no longer good (it should work) didn't work it hard before. Or the motor is overheating because of too much resistance on the chain. Double checked the chain for oil, it was present and clear of debris. It was able to do it's job but it kept stopping, thankfully I was doing a quick job outside where stopping wouldn't be a risk to injury but I'm really starting to regret getting this saw.

I added this to my collection of green works products. It cuts very well and battery life is good. It's light weight and perfect for small cutting jobs. Chain adjustment is easy, and it's low maintenance. The handle is very comfortable and it functions perfectly.
