Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have used this saw daily for over two years. I own two gas saws, a Husqavarna Rancher 460, and a Poulan Pro 16" saw. This cordless saw is equivalent to my Poulan Pro which I will probably never use again. I especially like this saw because it is quiet....plus it works all the time. I live in a ranch community and people are living here to get away from noise. This saw allows me to collect fire wood in places where I would othewise be disturbing the tranquility of the community. I am stunned at the battery life, and how quickly it can be recharged. By the time the battery runs down, I am run down as well. And ready for a break. Toss in another battery and your good to go. AThe other thing I like are the safety features. The saw is light and easy to handle and this really helps reduce stress. The chain brake works well. The other thing I really like is the ability to adjust the chain without needing tools. Just make sure you check the tightness periodically. I put a couple of drops of blue Loctite on the threads to help keep the hand tightened bar retainer from loosening. I cut through some huge 24 inch white oak today. Normally, this would be a job for my Rancher 460. While it took considerably longer with the Greenworks, it was much more pleasant and I was free from noxious exhaust and forest raping noise. I will follow up with an update after a month or so of use. Update: I use this saw routinely since initial purchase and especially during the winter months in NC. My house is at 4k feet in the Great Smokies in NC. It is heated with an outdoor wood boiler. I feed my furnace with the plentiful seasoned dead fall which litters my property and ranch community. On a single charge, this saw will fill the bed of my Tacoma shortbed truck. I use the saw several times per week and it has never failed me. Rarely do I ever use my gas saws anymore except for really big stuff. I bought an extra battery for the saw but rarely use it. My back runs down before the saw battery. My neighbors never hear me cutting, and I can cut in areas where I might otherwise be disturbing somebody. Even if it fails on me...I will immediately purchase another because it makes cutting so much more pleasant and safe. Tip: I spray the chain with DuPont Chain Saver....my chains stay sharp even when I am cutting soiled dead fall. This Teflon product is simply amazing for this purpose. Update: Been using this saw for several years now. Even bought a spare to keep on the shelf if they ever discontinue this model. All I have had to do is sharpen the chain. I put a new chain and bar on this year, and also a new chain sprocket. Probably didn’t meet to. I spray the saw bar with DuPont Teflon spray. Unless I hit a rock, chain works all season and stay very sharp. I bought the 80 volt version of this saw, but newer use it since it is heavier and does not seem to run as long. Also got the 8” greenworks pole saw. This saw is incredibly handy and adds a lot of safety when you are cutting any wood. With the pole saw, you can stand away from cuts that might be under spring loading. This is important when cutting dead fall which whipsaw you when you least expect it. That 40v pole saw.is super handy and much safer for clearing trails and overhead stuff.
