Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's a little heavier than you might like. For very large and thick trees 3-4 foot in diameter. For lighter use like limbing a whole 60-70 ft tree, it runs great.

The adjustment tool is in the handle, so it is a quick adjustment and get back to work. That leaves one hour for hauling, stacking, and taking a break.

When you are not cutting, when you are trying to get around some rough terrain like steep sides of a gully, it's off completely and safely. The ability to just squeeze the trigger and cut without starting is under appreciated.



Cons

Price


Black friday deal make it a no-brainer for me.


Great to cut with zero fuel cost.


I should have bought two during the sale!


Batteries with longer runtime are very expensive.

Shipping


Sold by and shipped from amazonf them

Competitiveness


This works every bit as well as any gas chainsaw i have used that was of a comparable size.


So i found the exact same model from greenworks (who made the kobalt one) and it's just as good as her kobalt.


I have been switching brands over to these 80v tools.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The gas powered saw works great but i don’t like mixing oil and gas and as i get older i find it difficult to pull on the cord to start it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
