Greenworks 24V 6" Mini Chainsaw Cordless , Small Cordless Handheld Saw, 2.0Ah Battery and Charger Included, for Tree Trimming and Pruning

Update 6/8/2025: The chain tensioning knob broke! It had actually broken last year, but I was still able to work it with pliers; but now it’s more broken and I can’t even make it work with pliers. Bummer! I love this tool! But the tensioning knob is plastic, and not well made enough to resist the force required to tension the chain correctly. I’m not sure if I will buy another saw; perhaps, knowing this weakness, I’d be able to avoid it breaking again? Incredibly useful tool! Lightweight, easy to use, cuts quickly through any vegetation up to 2 inches, can take down trees up to 5 or 6 inches. Get a couple of batteries, the larger capacity ones, and extra cutting chain, be sure you have the right size file for sharpening, and for tree trimming, brush clearance, and a million cutting chores, it’s fantastic! The only drawback is that there is not automated chain oiling mechanism, so you have to carry a small bottle of chain oil (provided) and oil the chain fairly frequently. Also, the plastic handle for the chain tightening knob broke, so I have to use pliers to turn it now. Be careful with the knob, knowing it’s a bit flimsy. But overall, an incredibly useful tool! So, a further update: I searched the Greenworks site for replacement parts: None available online. So, I can customer service. I sit on the phone for 2 HOURS!!! No answer; and no other way of contacting them. No email. Of course the Chatbot is useless. Now I’m annoyed, and would bring my rating down, except for the fact that the tool itself is incredibly useful. 3rd update, 6/10/25: All’s well that ends well! Today I called customer service again. After a long time—maybe 45 minutes (with my phone on speaker, doing other tasks) I FINALLY got through to a person! She told me “it’s our busy season”—right, got it! So I explained my issue; and, long story short, they are sending me a replacement saw!!! 3-year limited warranty covering defects in workmanship—which I would say this was. They don’t even want me to send back the broken saw. Needless to say, I am very happy with this. And, I will be careful when tensioning the chain.

love this little saw, works perfect as advertised.

Of the many gardening purchases I've made over the years, the Greenworks 24V 6" Brushless Mini Chainsaw is one of the items I wish I had invested in sooner. The chainsaw is easy to operate, runs on a single charge for much longer than I need to cut tree branches with, and it's highly effective at cutting through branches cleanly. The set comes with everything you need to get started, including the chainsaw, a battery, a battery charger, and a storage bag. It doesn't take very long to charge the unit, and once fully charged, I was able to prune several trees without having to take a break. The handheld chainsaw is much lighter and easier to handle than the large corded chainsaw that I used to use, and I was able to operate it while perched on a ladder without worrying that I would accidentally drop it or injure myself. The unit does not heat up while in use, features safety mechanisms to prevent accidental start-up, and is compact enough for even me to use for extended periods without getting tired. It's a garden tool I should have bought years ago, and something that I find myself now using every winter season when I need to prune the trees and ready them for spring.

Used it to cut back a couple of feet of overgrown evergreens that act as a hedge. Did the job nicely. Had to tighten the chain a couple of times in an hour and a half but no big deal. Ve Ty light weight and beats the hell out using a lopper especially for the thick branches. Definitely worth the bucks

excellent product, easy to use, cuts well, design is good, battery life is really good too. Fit is good too. A small adult would be able to handle it.

Makes quick work of trimming bushes and plants around the garden

I really liked the size of this saw & felt like it would be easy to use to trim lower limbs around the yard. However, I believe there is a flaw in the product. We ordered the saw plus an additional larger battery to use as a backup. Once we received the products, we charged the battery & tried out the saw using both the included battery & then larger (Greenworks brand) battery backup. It was as if the connection wasn't good. It would power on for a few seconds & then off again with both batteries. We assumed we got a dud & ordered a replacement. The replacement did the exact same thing.

5 stars for this little workhorse! It will cut through medium to small branches quickly and the battery life is impressive.

Its ok but hard to press the button and hold
