40v Atlas Chainsaw Review

- Here is my Atlas Chainsaw (spoiler alert) i keep calling it an ALL-tus chainsaw. i have no clue why.
this is my opinion of this tool and in no way sponsored by Atlas. although if they wanted to send me some more tools to try, i'd be glad to use them and review them lol. thanks for watching
My dad bought his at the age of 88. He wanted something easy to use on small trees. It worked great for him for what he wanted it for. He said it would last about 30 min, which is all he had the energy for himself. He wouldn't recommend it for serious wood cutting, though.
I would agree with that, It works for what I use it for, but it is not an every day saw. Thanks for the comment.!!
Thanks. The comparison to a gas saw is all I needed to know. Will do anything I'm going to do. Sick of trying to start my gas saw.
I’m right there with ya. I’m not logging for a living. So this will do me just fine. Thanks for the comment.
What about chain sprockets? I know you can order them from HF but. time and I don't know the cost. I would like to convert it to a floating sprocket like my gas saws but I doubt that is possible.
That’s a little over my head to be honest. Id love to shed some light on that but I’d probably lead you astray lol. Thanks for the comment though!!
Great Review! I bought one a few months ago with two of the 80V 2.5 Ah 40V 5 Ah batteries and then upgraded to the high speed charger as the standard charger's 2Amp output was too slow. The gear's been working great! Are you using the 80V 2.5 Ah 40V 5 Ah battery? Or, the 80V 4 Ah 40V 8 Ah? The video didn't mention which specifically.
Off the top of my head I don’t remember. I know i bought the cheaper of the two, I’m assuming it’s the 4ah.
@@westtnliving2222 Yup. As I recollect, you did mention in the vid that the battery was around $100. That would be the 80V 2.5 Ah 40V 5 Ah (which is now going for around $150 unless it's on sale. The bigger battery like $250! Borrowing from my comment to your other Atlas review: the 80V Blower's adjustable Cruise Control feature is really nice. When set low it optimizes the battery's run time. Plus, the Turbo Boost button instantly kicks it to full speed as needed. Really impressive! Grab one. You're likely to enjoy it. And, as you pointed out, once you've bought into the battery and charger eco system, the tools are priced reasonably.
The 80v battery will put out 40v @ 5AH, to meet the demand of the 40v saw.
@@echohotel1094 Yup! The higher Ah capacity 80V battery will power any of the 40V ATLAS units for approx 2x the duration of the lower Ah battery. The only downsides are that it's a significantly heavier, larger and more costly battery, and will take longer to charge -- even with the higher speed ATLAS Charger. The larger battery might make sense for the lawnmower units, but for the handheld chainsaw, pole chainsaw, hedger, pole hedger, and blowers, and rotary trimmer units, the larger battery noticeably added to the weight and changed the balance of those units (when I tried them in the store). YMMV.
@@musiclaw1486 yes, it's definitely a heavier power source. My trimmer and blower are the 80v variant and of course, the mower. I read that the 80v chainsaw will pull current so fast under demand, that it will cause the battery to do a thermal shutdown. This is why I personally opted for the 40v chainsaw with the 80v battery, instead.
It was my free tool of choice with a battery purchase, so...
Thanks for the review thinking about getting one got to remember don't let that chain hit the stone it will dull your chain quicker than anything. Just remember the bigger the chips the sharper the chain
The first time i saw this for sale i thought not a bad price until i saw you had to buy the battery and charger separately.
Yea,, having to buy everything individually does add up. Thanks for the comment.
Buy the battery and get the 40v chainsaw free. Just got back from doing that in Dickson. Heads up for anyone looking. Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for the info and the comment!
the idea here is you buy into a cordless system, and can save once you have few batteries can swap all the various tools and not have to have seperate battery system for different tool systems.
I have a 12" WORX cordless chainsaw and I hope to buy the Atlas 16" cordless chainsaw. The WORX batteries (it uses 2 20V) take approx 1 hr and 40 mins to recharge fully. Do you know how long your 80V battery takes to recharge?
I bought the cheapest charger, it takes awhile.. if you spend a little more money, the rapid charger will charge in like 30 mins or so….. so I’m told! Thanks for the comment
What EVERYONE never mentions on YT is the MPS on battery saws, it's very important it lets one know how fast a saw will cut, even HF dont list MPS..........
I agree about a second battery since I bought a battery and got a tool of my choice free and of course I needed a charger to and chain tool. But I’m happy with the price and the saw. Now I’m thinking about buying a battery and getting a free tool.
Thanks for the heads up!
You bet!
I am looking for a saw, saw this and went out and got it. Like you this wont be used as an every day use. just needed something to clean the yard. :) thanks!
Thanks for the comment. I hope the saw works is good for you as it does for me. I’ve been really happy with it. I’ve had it a couple years now. And it has not failed me yet.
@@westtnliving2222 I have been using this the last few days. Spend the extra money get the large battery! I had the smaller one, but upgraded. Thanks for the great videos.
How is it doing? Any issues with the battery cutting out?
I’ve zero issues.. battery is just as strong as the day I bought it!!
Just saw that Harbor Freight has the ATLAS 80V 2.5 Ah 40V 5 Ah Battery on sale for $119 thru Jun 1!
What deal!!!
Great review 👍🏼
Thanks!
I personally don't know about more volts and not equating to more power compare that Atlas to their Bauer and let me know
I love mine, it works great.
It’s a great product
Great review 👏
Thank you!
I heard the one downfall is that the Atlas will leak bar lube
Does it leak oil? Thx
If I over fill it, it tends to leak
Good video it's that the 2.5 ahp
I don’t remember.. i think it’s a 5.0
@@westtnliving2222 oh ok awesome thanks
You need it sharpen up
Nice video thanks
Agreed. Right after the video I went and bought myself a new chain. Lol
You hit the ground with your chain twice in the first 1.5 minutes. That will dull it and destroy the saws ability to cut wood.
Thanks for the comment
That was good👍🇺🇸
Thanks. And thanks for commenting!
A decent Stihl will run you about $500- $700
That chainsaw is a piece of trash. Ive now been through 2. Works great for a bit and then nothing. Wont get through five minutes of cutting. My own regret was telling others to buy it before i gave it some time.
Sry you had a bad experience.. I’ve had mine a couple years now and love it. I’ve recommended it to others and they love their. I know it’s not for heavy duty use. I use mine a couple times a year so it holds up for me!! Thanks for the comment.
Did you expect anything different for $90? 😅
