Greenworks 80V 18" Cordless Chainsaw, Battery Not Included GCS80450

Prior to purchasing this chainsaw, I had borrowed a Greenworks trimmer from a neighbor, as my old one had finally bit the dust. I was apprehensive with using battery-powered yard tools, but upon using the trimmer, I was instantly sold. I dropped it back off, thanked my neighbor, and promptly purchased the trimmer. Shortly after ordering the trimmer, I decided to order the chainsaw, as I have wanted one but hadn't previously purchased one. I don't really have a need for a chainsaw on a regular basis, but there are times when these old trees fall in our neighborhood and I feel useless because I can't help move them from the streets. No more. Since purchasing the chainsaw, I eagerly awaited the chance to use it. Lo and behold, I was given that chance a few weeks back after a gnarly windstorm knocked down and old tree behind a couple of our houses. I promptly chugged my coffee and got to work. Using the chainsaw to trim the tree was like cutting through butter with a knife made of lava. It was dreamy. It was perfect. And oh so quiet! I am sold on Greenworks. These tools are rad, and I will be recommended them to everyone forever.

I quite like this chainsaw, especially as it is not gas driven. The chain did come off rather early in my usage of it, but the hardware store fixed it quickly. I also like that the batteries that power my Greenworks mower also power this chainsaw. What can be better!

Handy for stop and go work but some flaws. Despite tightening chain jumps more easily than on my gas saw (which never jumps) - mainly when cutting small diameter branches (<1 inch). Wrench was not included. Oil cap has two parts and outer part keeps falling off.

I love this chainsaw! I already had 2 80v batteries, as I have a Greenworks snow thrower, which I love also. So ordering the tool only, was perfect for me. I am a 65 year old female, 5'1", and 100 lbs. This chainsaw is light enough that I can use it with ease. No gas to mix, and no struggling with a pull cord to get is started. I have cut logs up to 8", with no problem. The 18" blade is a big plus also. All around a great tool to have! I love my Greenworks products!

To be able to slide the battery in and immediately go to work cutting is great. No pull starts and fuel and fumes, just powerful cutting where you need it. I used this to trim several trees and the only issue I had was the chain was not tight enough, so I had to put it back on. Make sure you check before use and you won't have this problem. I let a buddy borrow it and he loved it so much he said he was going to get one since he couldn't get his gas one to even start!
