Greenworks 48V (2 x 24V) 16" Brushless Cordless Chainsaw (Great For Tree Felling, Limbing, Pruning, and Firewood / 125+ Compatible Tools), (2) 4.0Ah Batteries and Dual Port Rapid Charger Included

This thing is a beast with 2 of the 8ah batteries. Cut cleanly through a 2 foot pecan tree and through the metal ladder that was resting on the tree.

Great saw light weight no gas no pulling a cord to start

This item lost a star from me because the directions about filling the oil reservoir were vague. It said "remove the cap," but I tried pulling and unscrewing and neither worked. I decided unscrewing had to be the answer, but the cap refused to move, and I worried about breaking it. I finally used a pliers and gingerly applied pressure--and it unscrewed. If you buy it, beware of that problem.

Works great. Thank you.

Was really impressed with how much it could cut between charges

I ordered this to cut up a tree that had fallen. I read the directions fully, noting that it said it required an oil refill with each full use of the battery. I thought that was unusual but noted, nonetheless. It made quick work of the fallen tree and I was done in about 10 minutes. I went to use it again for the 2nd time in 35 days to find a pool of oil had leaked from the casing (the split down the middle, not the plug) all over the drill case it was sitting on. It functioned ok, but this is NOT something I would expect from a new chainsaw. I don't have a problem if it is going through oil because of discharge, but to simply leak from the case is not acceptable. Unfortunately, the return date was 5 days ago, so now it is a manufacturer warranty issue. I recommend using it purposefully multiple times during that first month. If it is defective, you have a simple return method. Maybe mine was the only one, but I don't think it is.

Tired of constantly rebuilding carburetors on my gas saws I got this 16" 48v batter version. Was not sure if it would be up to the task, but I was pleasantly surprised. Cuts through live or dead wood very cleanly, even logs wider than the 15" recommended max. Broke a couple logs down and took an old pine tree down (10 cuts total) and lost maybe one notch of battery power. If I had any complaint, I wish they offered one with the 5amp batteries, as those are what I use in my Greenworks lawnmower (and they hold enough charge on turbo to do my whole lawn). The 4 amps might not last as long and I would have gladly paid the difference in price (Note, got this during the Spring sale, perfect timing).So far works like a charm. We'll see how long before I need to replace the chain or how often I need to sharpen. I'll update if there are any long term issues. My mowers going on two years without an issue so optimistic.

Out of the box this thing looks like it will be a beast. I typically keep my craftsman battery powered saw in my off road vehicle. that one was great but it failed after 10yrs of solid use. I thought i would upgrade to a bigger saw for both home and trail use. that's when the greenworks entered the mix. Initial use was great, put just enough oil in reservoir to get it running, cut down some 2" thick weed trees in my yard and went to the next pile and thats when the problems started. Oil is now coming out around the chain faster than needed and the next cut resulted in the chain jumping off the bar. Take it apart, put the chain back on and 5 seconds later the chain is off again. Upon closer investigation i see that there is an excessive amount of oil building up around the bar/chain tensioner, its so bad that you can see the tension screw start to back off with no possibility of it ever staying tight again. Basically its a great motor attached to a bunch of plastic garbage. this thing is not safe and definitely not worth the price tag. Unfortunately i bought this in the fall on sale and only used it recently, so that puts me well past the return window. I'll hang it on the wall with all my other junk art
