I have one. It's dangerous. Where there should be metal there is plastic. Bar mount is plastic with cheap machined metal mount. I have several chainsaws and electric is more dangerous than gas. DC Motors are more powerful than Gas. Electric chainsaws have more power and speed. I work on E-Bikes and build my own batteries. Greenworks Jib you on the battery Ah. This is because the battery is 2/3 empty. They use single cells to get the voltage instead of a bank to create more Ah. This means the battery will not endure long. As soon as I bought one I could not believe how cheap it is. They make it look cool and modern but under my testing it fails safety. All they had to do is make 1 thing out of metal and deeper machining on bar mount..... This is unsafe. It feels like a toy. All the Walmart brands are safer than this chainsaw. Whoever is dropshipping and selling these chainsaws you may be taking peoples eyes and throats with your sales.
I just bought the 40v 16 inch Greenworks model for a $187.00 tried it out today and it worked great I’m getting a extra battery for it and a extra chain just in case.
The chain coming off had nothing to do with the saw. Every single new chain will need adjustment frequently till it breaks in and then should still be checked and adjusted periodically.
I've had a Greeworks 80v with 16" bar for a few years now and I won't buy another gas powered chainsaw for just using around the farm. I've felled and cleaned up over 250 trees ranging from 3" to 18" in diameter. With a good sharp chain, it has tackled everything I've thrown at it with ease.
Bought the 80volt Greenworks Leafblower at Costco for $199 a few years ago. It came with two 80v batteries which made it a really good deal. Wanted a chain saw and this was perfect because I already had the two batteries. and only had to buy the chainsaw.
We have 2 of these 80v saws, and they work great. They don't have a very fast cutting speed, but we're not trying to win any constest either. The 80v in this video I feel has the most *premium* feel of all Greenworks 80v saws, and it has quite a bit of torque. It's definitley harder to stall out than some of the other brands. The oil tank is also very generous, which I like. I run mine with two 2ah batteries, and like you implied, as you stop to clean up, it adds time to charge a battery. Having two batteries means that I am never without a fully charged battery ready to go. We liked this saw so much, I ended up getting a 40v and the (seems to be disontinued now) 60v Xrange. The Xrange can take advantage of the newer batteries with the 21700 cells in them, and boy oh boy is it powerful! Greenworks makes excellent chainsaws.
Looks great working on a birch tree 60V is what I would need in the future. I have the 40V chainsaw and I work with juniper … all I can say is it would cut 2 tree’s down before u have to re-sharpen the chainsaw Chain again it’s ok for the help out of a gas chainsaw.
Yeah honestly it seems like if you got a second battery, you wouldn't ever have to wait. Pretty good and with a sharp chain, the reduced speed didn't seem to hinder it.
Great video Jon. The important thing to remember those are just as dangerous as gas-powered. Here's a tip. Make a couple of bore cuts down into your stump in the center then knock the piece out you bore cut. When fall hits put some charcoal down into the hole and light it. Watch the stump disappear.
Impressive battery life. You got an amazing amount of work done with that cordless saw. Our local Costco had a couple of pallets of Greenworks cordless yard tools--I'll have to give them a closer look.
I have the smaller 48 v saw and am impressed. At some point, I'd like to get this one. What would really impress me is if Greenworks came out with a 24 inch (or larger) commercial saw. I could get behind that!
Looks like a very nice battery operated chainsaw Jon! The Greenworks 60V chainsaw received a decent rating on Consumer Reports. I assume that the 80V is a much improved chainsaw overall. Great review Jon! 👍👍👏👏
Yeah, pretty good, I wouldn't have thought it. A small concern; a loud two-stroke always seems to put me in a safety-conscious defensive mode; with this quiet electric saw, I'd be tempted to let my guard down, since it just doesn't seem to be that scary. Don't let that happen!
Just curious, when you fixed the chain, why did you re-install the chain bar upside down? Then at the end of the video, you obviously had taken it apart and turned it right side up again. Wouldn't having the chain bar upside down make the saw cut "backwards?"
He did this to allow the bar to wear evenly. As you cut, think about what is going on: you're pushing a non continuously shaped, sharp edged chain along a metal surface (the rail of the bar), and you're putting uneven pressure in, generally, the same areas as you make a cut (the place a log is pushing is cutting into the rail more). If you only ever cut on one side of your bar, the chain will carve a little divet into the guide rail of the bar, and the dip will cause your chain to pop off. You'll need to replace the bar by that point. If you flip the bar, the wear on the rail is shared between the 2 sides, so it will take twice as long to form a divet in the rail that lets the chain pop off. The best practice is every single time you need to make a real adjustment to the chain, you ought to flip the bar, unless it's a new chain, then do it every dozen or so cuts, between series of cuts, etc. as new chains will expand with use quicker than an older chain
Wow! If Robert Blake and Charles Bronson had a love child! ;-) Thanks for doing that demonstration. I'm now trying to figure out which is better, this Gen 1 version or the newer, Gen 2 version. The specifications are not clear. I'm trying to figure out the electric motor in each and the gearing.
Your saw looks identical to my Kobalt. I have (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and use (2) 5 AH Batteries. I’m 79 and love NO more having to pull a cord to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021. it is still being sold on the Lowes website as of 5/26/2024 - I use them on our Southeast LA farm of 18 acres of tall large pine trees that were devastated by a Hurricane and tornado. On 10 acres of the property, nearly all the trees are down or dead. My chainsaws have been working great and cutting huge logs and trees and logs up to 20"+ and it works great. I also use the 80-volt 10” Pole saw, lawnmower, and Leaf Blower.
Very impressive, Jon! Also good to see you wearing the standard protective equipment (chaps, etc.), which are critical to staying safe. My gas-powered 20" saw still runs well but after seeing your demo, I would definitely consider this as a future purchase. Thank you!
I've got a Ryobi 18v small chainsaw, and BIL has their newer 40v larger 16" one. Both are nice, and the electric has full torque instantly. Have to say though, the Poulan Pro 16" I got 5 years ago for $89 has dewooded a good portion of my 1.4 acre property. I either just wrecked it, or the centrifical clutch is bad, but for all the bad rap they get its done a lot of work with little complaint. I think unless you're buying the newer, more expensive ones which are brushless, you're probably getting brushed ones at lower price points, which need brush replacements if you can find them.
Great video. However up at the cabin we don’t have a power source to charge a battery this means one would need at least one more battery possibly two.
I would imagine I seen this same model saw on Amazon and the battery and charger was included I have the 40V 16 inch Greenworks model and the battery and charger was included also.
Excellent video iam looking to get rid of my gas power I only need a saw for emergency really in case a tree falls on my property so this will be perfect and since we just purchased a green works 80 /82 volt mower and it has 6 batteries this will be great to add to my shop
I could see at one point when you stopped that the chain was loose and hanging too loose on the bar shortly before it came off. Take a look at the video again. I would not care about anyone supplying extra chains. I have now purchased carbide chains for all of my chain cutting tools/chainsaw and have never looked back. They last for a long time and never need sharpening, they cut better, and you can hit dirt, stone etc with no affect. They have been demonstrated by cutting multiple cinderblocks and then cutting wood like they are new. I am not sure why for years every chainsaw operator would not have been using only carbide chains and why anyone else would use anything else again. My cost online for the carbide 16in was around $50, for the pole 10in was around $35 and for the handheld hatchet 6in was around $25. Not overly expensive.
I've got a Greenworks 40V chainsaw and it is a real POS. It only does a few cuts before it dies and it lacks enough power to do anything other than small branch trimming.
How heavy is this saw. I am a pettite lady; and I wondering if I can carry this tool by myself? I need to send it to south America. We need to cut down two tall trees. 10 feet each. Great video. Thanks.
Hate it when you think it's going but then need to hit it one little bit more! I'm a lineman working for a multi trillion dollar power company and they recently started buying us electric saws. Kinda p.o.ed at first, but for topping poles they're mostly fine. Still need gas for some situations, but agree that electric is adequate for most home tasks.
I would like to know if there is a 20” battery powered saw but I don’t know if they make them that big and as far as putting a 20” bar on the 18” 80v saw it would all depend on if it fits since saws are different models.
@@corygriffiths4394 I have this same Gen1 Greenworks 80V saw and I run a 20" bar & chain on mine. Any bar that uses an A041 tail mount and 3/8" x .050" chain will work. The 20" bar makes it easier to limb & buck with the saw.
Why everyone is complaining that the chain keeps popping off on this particular unit? I literally just got this unit sitting in the box, but if that's the case, this is a HUGE injury hazard.
It has nothing to do with the "unit." If your chain pops off, you're using the saw wrong. New chains need to be retightened every 5 cuts, or every time the chain is loose enough to be pulled over a rail tooth width from the chainsaw bar. If you don't retighten a new chain on any saw, it will pop off after a few cuts.
Could be some nice pieces to turn with the “fungus infected” areas I think I saw. It looks like Black Knot Fungus but I believe that only infects fruit bearing trees. That might be Sooty Mold on there. The grain in those areas is usually pretty wild (particularly in the crotch) but the structure of the wood in fungal areas can be a gamble; there are ways to mitigate that though. Nice chainsaw as well.
Congratulations on your Partnership, Jon! ‘Wedge time’ @ 01:15! 😳😆 Your videos and Craftsmanship are most always without reproach, but I think you did your viewers and Greenworks, a slight slight disservice by the Fast Fwd’g in the video. I get it, but in this case, we couldn’t really see and hear how the saw is bucking and pruning up the felled tree? Forgive my negativity, but I’m just calling it like I see it. You’re a Class Act, with Great content, and I feel bad making this comment. The saw did sound good when you first started using it. A lot of Battery chainsaws tend to sound lousy, and cheap. This Greenworks did not, from what I heard. But why cant these manufacturers put a better gauge on their batteries? Really now, three bars? I digress Thumbs up and thumbs up on safety gear you had on. I’ll have to send you a Forestry helmet Jon! 😉 Stay Safe and Healthy! 👍👍✌😊
The days of battery electric equipment having lackluster power for the job seem to be in the past, hell if you look at the large scale version aka battery electric vehicles they usually have better performance then the traditional option Now really the largest issue they have is runtime yet even that has been improved dramatically the past few years in the end the future looks quite bright for battery electric One thing to know though on safety for electric chainsaw is the normal safety chaps might not clog up and stop the saw, I've seen warnings about it in the past
The Stihl MSA 300 has high chain speed but no torque. If you dig the 'dogs' in and push the still it stall out. The Greenworks Commercial saws are far more capable than the new Stihl MSA300.
“Safety never takes a holiday,” as my brother always says. I also find that taking a break to clean up is smart for recharging the brain. Staying too long on a task can make me get careless.
That’s the power button if you don’t use the saw for a minute or two it will shut off and whenever you go to cut again you just press the button to turn it back on that’s just a safety feature
@@corygriffiths4394 hilarious 7 months ago I commented then 6 days ago you replied, looking back where's the timeline what I'm asking to? 🤣 Hilarious I already forgot this. Thank you for your answer even I don't understand! 🤣 Didn't notice your reply haha
I was going through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this before I said anything. Real time is the only way to know if upgrading from my 40v would be worth it.
Chains running a bit of slack. Good way to ruin a chain or at best cause a lot of work sorting it to make it slide through the bar again. Oh, wait you threw it. Hope you didn’t mushroom the guide teeth otherwise you ruin the tolerance on the guide slot. Not a firewood saw unless you haul 8’ logs at about a half cord load or you have more than one battery. Packaging says something like 120 cuts. Must mean the limbs. They’ve been on sale for less than half price in Alaska as they haven’t been selling well.
The fact that you didn't say timber!!!!!!! when the tree fell...seems like a missed opportunity and leaves really unsatisfied. Other than that good video
Am I First?? Oh snap, RESPECT!! Nice way to wake up. I'm dragging ass today Bud. And still gotta go into work at 12p.🤦🏻♂️. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
All around great job Jon. Invaluable advice about doing the cleanup as you go!! Man, tripping & getting snacked in da face bye small twigs is no fun (don't ask me how I know😂🤦🏻♂️).And... if you had a helper they could been doing the cleanup & trimming of all the smaller stuff with a battery Sawzall & 12" pruning blade most likely allowing the saw to finish without needing a charge. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out again 👍🙏
Hey Mike, absolutely!… I tackled this job on my own but I’ve had one or two of my sons help me with others and the job gets done so fast. Walter will help me split the logs this fall… Going to rent a splitter, splitting birch is horrible with a mall
Another Greenworks success, it seems. I found their lawn mower and hedge trimmer to both be great products. Thanks for this, Jon.
Thank you for showing the chain failure, even though Greenworks sponsored the video it shows your integrity and honestly I still want one of these
That wasn’t a part failure. That happens when you don’t check and properly adjust your chain tension.
I have one. It's dangerous.
Where there should be metal there is plastic. Bar mount is plastic with cheap machined metal mount.

This is unsafe.

That’s for sure, always need to pay attention and respect the saw
Have to admit i am surprised how long that battery lasted. Very good job.

Thanks I’m not sure
If it’s a Greenworks 80 volt battery, yes. I use batteries between mine interchangeably with no issues.
What was the amp hr. Raiting on the battery ?
Thanks for review. How much are the 80v spare batteries?

These saws weigh about 13 lbs dry with the battery installed. If I count the weight of the oil, probably about 14 lbs.
I bought 2 of these, and let the batteries charge over night and they only last about 5 minutes while cutting?! They are to last about 2 hours right?

How does this compare to a Husqvarna 540i XP?

Which kind of battery did you use (Ah)?

Could be some nice pieces to turn with the “fungus infected” areas I think I saw. It looks like Black Knot Fungus but I believe that only infects fruit bearing trees. That might be Sooty Mold on there.

I was going through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this before I said anything. Real time is the only way to know if upgrading from my 40v would be worth it.
Very irritating that you do not mention what Ah the battery is.
Just one battery?
The saw comes with one battery but I’m sure you could purchase another one
There very exspensive in uk i went with makita
Chains running a bit of slack. Good way to ruin a chain or at best cause a lot of work sorting it to make it slide through the bar again. Oh, wait you threw it. Hope you didn’t mushroom the guide teeth otherwise you ruin the tolerance on the guide slot. Not a firewood saw unless you haul 8’ logs at about a half cord load or you have more than one battery. Packaging says something like 120 cuts. Must mean the limbs. They’ve been on sale for less than half price in Alaska as they haven’t been selling well.
The fact that you didn't say timber!!!!!!! when the tree fell...seems like a missed opportunity and leaves really unsatisfied. Other than that good video
Am I First?? Oh snap, RESPECT!! Nice way to wake up. I'm dragging ass today Bud. And still gotta go into work at 12p.🤦🏻♂️. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
All around great job Jon. Invaluable advice about doing the cleanup as you go!! Man, tripping & getting snacked in da face bye small twigs is no fun (don't ask me how I know😂🤦🏻♂️).And... if you had a helper they could been doing the cleanup & trimming of all the smaller stuff with a battery Sawzall & 12" pruning blade most likely allowing the saw to finish without needing a charge. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out again 👍🙏
Hey Mike, absolutely!… I tackled this job on my own but I’ve had one or two of my sons help me with others and the job gets done so fast.
Walter will help me split the logs this fall… Going to rent a splitter, splitting birch is horrible with a mall

It’s bad for the batteries to put them on the charger half charged or hot.
Good to know👍
This company is a total rip off outfit selling cheap chinese products with cheap chinese level service. AVOID THIS RIP OFF COMPANY
