Battery-Powered Chain-Saw
A relative newcomer to the category, Worx has been around since 2007. It's best known for its lawn and garden equipment, but it also offers a robust line of power tools, many of which have performed well in our tests. We like that Worx is big-box store agnostic, meaning you’ll find it at Home Depot, Lowe’s, handheld chainsaw battery powered Walmart and other major retailers. Hart is 100% battery-powered, and its lineup is a bit more limited than other brands, especially those aimed at pros and prosumers. But if you’re looking for a capable cordless drill for light-duty projects or a sander kit for hobby projects, the brand is worth a look.
It’s one thing to cut blades of grass, carving up the large oak sections left over from our last arborist visit is another matter entirely. Get power and performance in a cordless chainsaw powered by PWRCORE 40™ lithium technology. Industry-leading technology wraps each cell of the PWRCORE 40™ battery for longer run time and battery life. Power through tasks faster with tool-less chain tensioning and auto-lubrication and have peace of mind with the anti-kickback brake. Plus, your battery is ready to go, charging 0-30% in just 15 minutes with Auto PWRJUMP™. This battery chainsaw Kit includes a 2.5AH PWRCORE 40™ lithium battery and Auto PWRJUMP™ charger.
Some European countries regulate stated voltages more stringently, and it seems that it could only serve to help if the simple math all added up. Lost bar nuts are a frequent occurrence during regular use in the field. To prevent this, some saws have the added feature of captive nuts that won’t come all the way off the cover no matter how much you spin them.
Not only did this model do fantastically well in our time trials, but our team of professional tree service employees found it to have an overall comfortable feel while cutting. When searching for a battery chainsaw, the most important factor to consider is its primary application. There is a wide price range for these devices, and a higher price does not imply that a saw will function effectively for your intended usage. Consider battery sizes as well; some chainsaws may appear to be pricey but compensate with a larger battery. The longer your cutting session, the more wood you expect to cut. And the more frequent the sessions, the more electric chainsaw you need to buy.
We feel this is a bit excessive, considering that there are already three different mechanisms in place that all must be in the proper position for the saw to start. It can get annoying when you have positioned yourself to make a cut, and then you pull the trigger only to realize that you have forgotten a redundant step. The Husqvarna Power Axe 350i was the king of this part of our assessment. In its standard mode, it put up an average time of 7.07 seconds. When "boost mode" is enabled, its fastest time dropped down to an incredible 5.13. It also has a nearly instantaneous wind-up time of .25 seconds.
These people are spot on A1 If you run into a problem they will do their best to get it resolved Just purchased they're chainsaw absolutely love it a really good tool. I have their weed eater and their blower had them for years now absolutely great product. Sure they are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Not having to mess with gas and oil and they're there when you pull the trigger can't get much better than that. Since first using it in 2020, the Stihl MSA220C-B has become one of the benchmarks for how I evaluate cordless chainsaws.
The best way to find the DEWALT® cordless tool for your toughest jobs. You’re in the right place for Worm Drive power, cutting-edge innovation and so much more. TOOL-LESS CHAIN TENSIONING - Adjust the chain on this cordless saw with a convenient dial on the side of the tool. 15-MINUTE CHARGING - Auto PWRJUMP™ charges the battery from 0-30% in just 15 minutes (based on 2.5Ah battery). Prices and availability of products and services are subject to change without notice.
This chainsaw is a good option for suburban homeowners who perform yard work in noise-sensitive areas. Without battery, making this chainsaw easy to use and maneuver. With its massive 80V battery and brushless motor, this cordless chainsaw is one of the most powerful chainsaws in the group of battery chainsaws tested. Well-balanced for bucking , it has a big cut capacity and can make serious chips.
However, where the Pro 80V really shines is its charge time — the Greenworks rapid charger is able to bring the massive 80-volt battery up to 100% in a lightning-fast 30 minutes. When it comes to ease of use, the Ego Power+ CS1800, Ego Power+ CS1613, and the Husqvarna Power Axe 350i are tied at the top of the list. Among the various types of controls that chainsaws have, our consensus is that simpler is better. The Ego models have the system that we like the most, with a simple thumb safety switch and a chain brake. It's the least complicated to use and the fastest to go from storage to slicing and dicing.

Even if you are not blowing leaves all day, you may still get requests from customers to switch to something a little more environmentally friendly for smaller jobs. These pruning tasks can get knocked out just as effectively with a battery-powered saw while helping smooth the way with concerned citizens, at least until the chipper fires up.
Product reviews on this site contain our opinion of a product or service. We will always strive for objectivity and transparency in our reviews. Our goal is to provide readers with honest, objective information based on our own experiences. We never have and never will accept payment in exchange for a positive review. Many of the products that we review are provided to us for free by a manufacturer or retailer.
Denser cells with more robust connections are able to more efficiently transfer energy from the battery to the chain. This gives you higher performance without a drop in runtime that makes the saw irrelevant. Thanks to advanced brushless motors, electronics, and batteries, voltage no longer tells the entire story. However, cutting speed with the torque to get through thick hardwood species is the number one priority for us. We value performance over price, so our top pick as the best small battery-powered chainsaw is the Ryobi P2750. It’s part of the 18V One+ HP Brushless line that delivers higher performance than its brushed counterparts.
Low-kickback chains are also available; they are specially designed to prevent the chain from digging too deeply into the wood. If the cutter of the chains gets too deep into wood, it can stop abruptly and cause kickback. To help avoid kickback, never use the tip of the saw for making cuts.
