All battery powered saws are great, especially for people who live in a neighborhood full houses close to each, so clean and quite.
This saw is good. I recommend the 16” brushless version if it’s in your price range. It’s much better.
I have over a dozen battery operated chainsaws. Four of them are Greenworks. I bought them because EGO doesn't have a small battery platform. My larger saws are EGO; up to 24". But sometimes I want a smaller saw; hence the Greenworks. Three 24v ones, and one 40v.
The oiling is the first thing I thought of when I got my little Greenworks. At the time; all I had was a gallon jug of bar oil.
I immediately ordered a one quart bottle; which helps quite a bit.
Yeah, it's hard to pour a gallon jug into that tiny hole that's also not very accessible. Thanks for watching.
One thing I've done for all my saws; is to switch them to full chisel chains.
That makes a big difference in the way they cut.
Good idea.
Helpful to see an honest review. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. I like this saw. It’s a little heavy but performs well. I use it in combination with the 40v pole saw, which I wore out and just got another. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I already use the pole saw, and have found it really handy for higher branches. I absolutely love my 40V Greenworks leaf blower with 350cfm! But for the chainsaw I think I might give Ego a try.
Try the brushless 16” green works. It’s much better than this one. I did a video on it as well. It has really good chain speed and electric chain brake. That way you don’t need another battery. On these battery saws be sure you get brushless whatever brand you get. More comparable to a gas saw. Good luck.
I buy bar oil in gallon containers for my BIG battery operated saws; but I get oil in the quart container for my smaller ones.
I do the same after this video.
You can tell this is a trimming saw. Bigger task will kill that thing no doubt. Thanks for the review!
Hey MR CB. Yeah. I expected better out of the 40V. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍🐝🐝
I don’t know about that
Thanks for sharing.. I'm thinking of getting the green works for some.back yard cutting. God bless you
I’d recommend spending a little more and getting the brushless 16” version. Depends on how much you plan on cutting. A few limbs a year, this one is fine.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I actually did just that after watching your video. I ordered the 16 inch. Thanks for everything. God bless you.
You won't be disappointed. I gave my dad one of the 12" and he wore it out, motor quit and smoked. So I bought him the 16" tool only, since he already had a battery. He really likes it. It's good to always have a spare chain too.
@@JeromeBeeFarm yeah I bout a spare chain with it. Thanks!
Hi there i have one of these and i found it very good, cuts the logs like there is no tomorrow, portable so can take it out and use it, on the minus side i have the standard battery and charger and the battery takes me 1.5 hrs to charge and it doesn't last very long if your cutting big diameter logs, say about 1 foot or under, and your forever filling the oil tank up, and it only hold 50ml, about 1/16 of a Uk pint. but i do like it, its not something i use often but handy when i need it....Fred in Essex Uk.
Hi Fred. Yeah. I like mine too. I never cut enough to drain the oil resivoir. I have the 4Ah battery and an aftermarket 5AH battery so I don’t have to worry about charge time. I also have the cultivator, pole saw, 14” attachment capable trimmer with an edger attachment, and blower.
VERY GOOD REVIEW THANK YOU.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great review thanks! Looking for something to use for back country camping as I already have the greenworks trolling motor. This saw seems to be very underpower.
Get the 16" brushless, it's awesome and way better than this one.
Enjoying these! THANKS
Thanks Bruce. The one tomorrow will be the best. 👍👍🐝🐝. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I buy bar oil in the 1 gal size too. But I use it to refill an old qt size. It even fits inside my Stihl 026 case.
That’s a good idea. I don’t know how many years I’ve had that gallon. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That what i do is make sure there plenty of oil on the bar YEP a must to keep it sharp. I buy like 3 Chains Saw blades > Where i always have a sharp one yes i sharpen them my self. got a hand file i file em> all needed > i think its more powerful and faster than the Dewalt > I always love Stihl. but i can get 4 electric ones for the price of 1
If my eyes are correct, there are fewer teeth on that chainsaw. It looks like after every cutting tooth there is a space, and that could be why it cuts and sounds rough.
Hey Paul, it's standard chainsaw chain of that pitch/width. I think the reason the bar is bouncy is because the chain doesn't have near the velocity of a gas saw or a brushless battery saw. It's just a weird feeling if you're used to a gas saw. It's a handy little sucker though for a quick limb trim or something hanging you need to cut off. It starts every time too. lol Thanks for watching.
I was thinking the Greenworks was going to do better too but I think the dewalt may have won the battle, without seeing the side by side yet that you are doing. I have been looking at the Echo too. It doesn't have a pole saw though. Thanks Darren-Ronnie
Yeah, I thought the 40 volts would have made it perform better. The 36V makita is really nice. You’ll see. 👍👍
Best review ever thank you
Thanks. I saw Amazon has them on black Friday sale for $149 with the 4AH battery. I think I paid $260 for this one.
I was noticing how slowly the Greenworks saw cut in the 'shootout' you had with two other saws. It was pretty painful to watch. That 'little' saw will really cut with a full chisel chain!
I put full chisel chains on all my saws; and they dramatically improved their performance. You just have to be careful about not hitting the ground. And learn to be proficient in the use of a file.
That greenworks in the shootout wasn't a brushed version. I also have the 16" brushless 40V and it performs just like that Makita did. Really good saw, but it's just as heavy as a gas saw. The Dewalt crapped out with very little use. The motor controller died. What a total piece of crap on Dewalt's behalf. Yeah, it was 2 years old, but had cut very little wood. I shared my dissatisfaction with Dewalt and they gave a rip. My next little saw will be a 12V Milwaukee hatchet. thanks for watching and your comments.
I have TWO little Greenworks saws, and a medium size one.
The smaller two are 24v. A 10" 'top loader', and a 'bottom handle' loader 12". I don't think the 10" is brushless; but I can lean on it harder than I can the 12" brushless.
The medium Greenworks is a brushless 40v 14" one. It is a 'steady' cutter; just don't push it.
I'm sure part of the reason I can't push the little Greenworks is because I'm asking them to pull a full chisel chain.
Anyway; I love all dozen of my battery operated saws.
Thanks, glad I watched, I’ve never used a chainsaw. *Note to self, buy bar oil along with chainsaw. XD
Yes, the oil is very important. Good luck and be careful.
Thanks for sharing. No comparison to 2 cycle Stihl.
Yeah Mack. No replacement for displacement. Not with this saw anyway. There are some that will smoke a gas saw. (Made by Stihl) and they cost way more than $80. lol.
Was going to buy that greenworks not now it sounds rough would it be better with a top of the range chain saw blade on
Check out the green works 40v brushless 16”. It’s awesome. amzn.to/46cNOS6
I have the 14in. saw and it stops after cutting one small limb-the co. sent me a new one and it does the same thing! JUNK!!!
Sorry to hear that. I also have the 16” brushless and it’s awesome.
Does anyone know if this has a brushless motor..i think it does..F
Yes. It is brushless. There is a brushed model, costs far less, but performs not so great compared to brushless. Check out my chainsaw head to head competition video to see that saw and Dewalt 20V brushless and Makita 38V brushless.

What breand of oil you need for it
Chainsaw bar oil, doesn't matter what brand. If you have some motor oil, that will work too, but it's more expensive. It's sold anywhere chainsaws are sold. Good luck.
I dunno, the covid-19 zombie apocalypse just isn't going to be the same without a sputtering engine and the smell of 2-stroke exhaust.
Just steer clear of the walkers.
2 stroke exhaust is my favorite; then diesel. Can't stand gasoline exhaust.
Mine is nothing but junk. Quit working in less that 2 weeks and never started again.
This is off the subject but you have to check out Jeff Horchoft Bees latest video ;->
I saw he posted one on bottling honey. I haven’t seen it yet.
Slap a 4ah battery in there...different chainsaw.
More AH enables the saw to work longer, not faster.
💪 🙂🫶
The Dewalt's brushless motor is the big difference. I told you the other day I like to see the chips flying and this showed up in my recommended viewing. th-cam.com/video/JqgahncPgF0/w-d-xo.html spoiler alert I didn't understand a word of it but man do the chips fly.
That was pretty cool. I wish I had access to some good timber so I could cut my own lumber.
@@JeromeBeeFarm Yeah, when he started cutting slabs with a chain saw I was hooked.
