80V 18" Brushless Chainsaw (Tool Only)

The chainsaw I bought was under warranty, and my complaint was that it consistently leaked oil. It was determined that there was no defect, and therefore no replacement was going to be provided and no service was going to be approved. I was told that this is normal and between uses the oil reservoir needed to be drained. That’s an unreasonable request and constantly cleaning up my garage with something I wasn’t going to do anymore. They refused to accept it back so I returned it to where I bought it and thankfully Costco has a generous return policy.

I bought this to go along with my other Greenworks tools and to replace my gas chainsaw. I opened the box put in chain oil dropped in the battery and I was up and running and cutting large branches. Another great tool from Greenworks

I normally try to saw limbs and prune by hand but after a storm left me with a mountain of large broken limbs and trees I needed a chainsaw. I already have the 80V Greenworks lawn mower which I love so it seemed logical to get the chainsaw. It's plenty powerful. I sliced thru some 12 - 16 diameter trunks and limbs with no problem. The chain is low kickback which I guess isn't as aggressive?? I had to readjust the bar a couple times within the first hour of use because of chain slack - not sure if that is normal or not. After about 2 hours of use I resharpened the chain - but I also used it to remove a stump and was cutting into roots. Time will tell how durable but it is convenient to just plug a battery in and go. Weight is similar to gas chain saw of the same size.

I have had my chainsaw for over 2 years and can say it has over preformed my expectations. This saw has been used a lot since I have been clearing land for pasture with it. This includes cutting trees down limbing them and cutting trunks into pieces for burning. The quiet run and ease of operation is great.

We live and operate a business in the Pacific Northwest. We have a lot of trees on both our home and office properties. Every winter there are storms that knock down some trees or cause limbs to fall creating dangerous situations. Needless to say having a good saw is vital to live and work here. I've personally owned seven saws over my fifty-some years of living and working here; this is by far the best saw I've ever had.Why?1) It always starts and runs. Always. Every time. No repeat-pulls no flooded cylinders no clogged fuel filters. It just runs. Consistently.2) 'Winterizing' (or in our case Summer-izing)? Easy. Clean it keep it lubricated sharpen the chain periodically. That's it. Next season it works as it did last season.3) Torque. Nice thing about electric motors - the torque band is flat. No matter how fast or slow I run it it always provides the same angular force to the spindle. Starting a cut continuing a cut ending a cut. No big. Stops instantly. Super-safe.4) QUIET. I was cutting firewood in the back yard and my wife didn't even know I was outside. That's what I'm talking about. I can use it at midnight and no complaints from the neighbors.5) Weight. Even with a 4A·h battery it's lighter than the Kioritz gas-chainsaw that it replaced. Well didn't actually replace - I still have the Kioritz I just winterized it and put it away and I never took it back out again. That was three years ago. If this one ever breaks I might use it again - but I'm not holding my breath.So that's it in a nutshell. Love this saw. You may be able to pry it from my cold dead fingers.

I love my chainsaw it works great and all the tools that I have are great.

When I received my chainsaw it arrived well packed in it's original Greenworks box (from a 3rd party website). All the items listed in the manual were included. Initially I thought they had forgotten the wrench for the saw but it comes neatly tucked into the underside of the handle of the chainsaw. They should have had an arrow in their parts diagram showing where the wrench was located (rather than have to search through the entire manual to find out it's location).The big 80 Volt battery charges up quickly in the supplied charger - seemed to be less than 1/2 hour to get a full charge. It's simple to snap the battery into the saw and power the machine up. I loosened my chain a tad before putting the battery in since it felt a little too snug on the bar. After adding the supplied bottle of bar/chain oil and lubricating the chain I powered up the saw and started to cut up a few dead trees and branches that had fallen on my property over the winter. The saw cut quietly and smoothly and with a lot of power. I thought the saw might be too heavy to operate (since the battery is bulky) but it felt like the perfect weight and was quite easy to maneuver. I was very pleased with my purchase and the effectiveness of the lithium powered Greenworks chainsaw.UPDATE: I have been using my Greenworks 80V 18-inch chainsaw for about a year now and overall this saw has been really great. The saw is very durable and has held up well during my months of cutting up numerous trees. The original chain was a little less aggressive at ripping through trees than I wanted so I upgraded to a newer chain that cuts like butter and dulls less quickly. If you are looking for a quiet and top quality battery powered chainsaw the Greenworks 80V 18-inch chainsaw definitely fits the bill. I certainly would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to a gas powered chainsaw.

Purchased saw and 3 x batteries about a year ago. Worked well untill auto chain oiler stopped working. Stripped saw down and found cheap plastic oil pump with metal worm drive cog from main motor shaft. Cog had teeth missing.Cannot find any spares listed for saw here in englandLooks like its destined for the bin.The saw still has origional blade hasent done a lot of work only sharpened it a few times my husquvarna 536lixp 3 years old 2 bars and 20 chains and still going strong.

Don't let the 18 or 80v fool you. This thing is a fantastic size for an all-purpose chainsaw. It's light has all the power you would need and is amazingly quiet. It does just as well as my previous name brand gas chainsaw. I have done tree work at 7-8 pm in the summertime without bothering my neighbors and that is a true joy. I'm a musician too so having quiet efficient tools is so refreshing. No gas to mix no adjustment tool to lose or remember (its neatly tucked inside the handle) unlike gas chainsaws where you have to bring your mix gas and tool into the woods. Not sure what else to say. It's a great tool and won't let you down. You can use the 2 AH battery to make the saw lighter for limb work or you can slip a 4 AH or higher for a little more weight to help with cutting and longer run times. Run time is very efficient. Chain automatically stops when releasing trigger this is really nice if your constantly putting the chainsaw down on the ground. No idle chain still moving and vibrating and getting dirt in it like a gas chainsaw. Oh also it starts every time ;).

I bought this chainsaw several weeks ago and it has been great! Uses the same battery as my other GreenWorks tools through a 10 diameter log with ease. Love the fact that I don't have to deal with gas and oil anymore (except chain oil). So far the cutting will last past the time it takes to charge my second battery.

I have always used gas powered chainsaws in the past and am thoroughly impressed by the performance of this product

I bought this a month ago and have only used it on small limbs and it cuts through them like butter. Weighs about the same as a gas chainsaw.

I BOUGHT THIS SAW ON A MONTH AGO AND WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH IT I BOUGHT TWO MORE AND A HAND HELD 80 VOLT BLOWER . I NOW HAVE 3 GREEN WORKS 80 VOLT SAWS. 4 CHARGERS AND 4 BATTERIES . THEY ARE SO EFFICIENT AND MAINTENANCE FREE . AND I LOVE THE FACT OF NO FUMES AND NO GAS TO LEAKS. I CAN STORE THEM INSIDE MY TRUCK WORRY FREE.
