I've just bought one myself a few days ago, it is the best chainsaw I've ever used. If only the oil tank worked as good as the WG322E Worx chainsaw, but I'm still glad I got it.
As I got older I started to rethink my attitude towards chainsaws. I've owned a Stihl Farmboss 290 for many years. It still runs and cuts well, but I've grown weary of using it. The Worx, though still a saw deserving respect seems a safer bet for when cutting overhead at my age. I no longer cut my own firewood, so the battery life is fine with me. I got a decent chain for it and it has no problem cutting what I want to tackle on my own. Excellent review on your part.
A sharp chain makes all the difference in the world with any chainsaw. I would have liked to see more undercuts to see if that was causing problems with the autotensioner. Also happy to see the step up in your game on what companies are now willing to send you to test, congrats my friend.
Thank you for this good video. It got me on buying the larger 16-inch bar Worx with 8,0 Ah installed. RPMs are 9900 instead of 4400, so it is slightly more powerful and should run fine for a full 20 to 25 minutes in good working conditions. In fact, on a first try, I was impressed at how efortlessly it cut through a 6 inch cherry log. I thought I had let it fall to the ground, so light it felt, it was weighing nothing in my hands, it just barely fell through the log by its own weight before I knew what was going on. Sliced it easier than soft butter.
Bought the same one and cut through a 16 inch oak trunk. Took a little maneuvering but I got it. I use mine with the 4.0ah batteries. I'll possibly get the 6.0ah batteries later on. Strong little tool, worth the money.
Great video! I bought the saw last fall, like 2 days after it debuted. It’s biggest selling point for me as that it offers a “Makita-type” platform at a value price point, meaning they have a full line of power tools that run off those 20 volt power share batteries. Theoretically, you could have your entire garage/shop running off of one fuel system. Lol for much less than Makita
I own the small cousin to this one. I just ordered a replacement chain tensioner. I would prefer a conventional tensioner as the spring tensioner is suspect. otherwise, the simplicity is a major factor with these saws.
i purchased a open box, returned because the chain stretched, i modified the chain bar and purchased a chain 1 link smaller (55) , but you’ll need to grind 3/16 off the inside end, now plenty of adjustment for stretched chain.
Nice addition, even if drain was a concern you could always pack another pair of batteries easier than a can of gasoline. My only surprise is the price point on them. If they could shave off about $40-50 I think I’d consider it.
That's a good point. Packing an extra set of batteries would be easier than a gas can. One nice thing about this brand is that the batteries all work together. So if you already have some of the batteries you could just buy the tool and save that extra money
If you don’t need it right away, worx does run sales. I think they’re keeping everything closer to full retail due to people spending more time home and buying more yard toys. I purchased mine last fall for 170.00. I’ve seen it for 180.00 a handful of times
Thanks for this review, man! I have other Worx stuff, and I had no idea that they could do something so beefy. Great for those of us zero-carbon interested tree-huggers.
Will be sending this back immediately. Made 12 cuts and on the next cut it would only scratch the the surface of the wood. The chain tension seems fine, any chance a chain can go bad that quickly?
I've been eyeing this saw for use with my existing Worx batteries. Started out with chain saws when I bought a second home with big garden in France. First started with a wired electric one to not having to fiddle with fuel and noise. However, having to fiddle with 100+ meter of extension cords was so much worse... So I got a gas powered McCulloch saw and it works great. Except for the noise, maintenance and emissions. Maybe this battery powered saw will cut it for my needs. However, the chain tension slipping with an undercut seems like an issue. It's at least annoying, and at worst dangerous if that issue persists. Do you still encounter that in your use of the saw? Thanks for your review!
In fact, Worx advises users to check chain tension every few cuts, like after 4 or 5 cuts. If it has loosened, unscrew the chain tension control and pull the bar manually to tension the chain and hold it while rescrewing the chain tension control.
good morning, has it happened to you with Worx that when you work, the chain jumps out of the bar? are there solutions? congratulations for your channel! Greetings from Italy.
I have this chainsaw and can't get it to turn on. Battery indicator is full, put chain oil in, made sure tightness is correct. Press the safety switch and the the trigger and nothing happens.
I wonder how long can it hold with a bigger tree, I mean like if u have fully charged battery against a big fresh log... From video perspective its functioning
I think that it works remarkably well for a cordless saw. I probably made 20 cuts through a decent-sized log and the battery went down to two and a half to three lights out of five.
I just ordered the 16" tool only 40V chain saw.I have other Worx products and batteries.I'll sell my gas saw to my neighbor.I'm my 70's I can't pull on that cord any more(bad arm).I just use wood for my fire pit in the back yard.
I have 2 of the 20v versions and they work great, just get the bigger batteries, though. 6ah batteries should be better. I also bought the extension pole for mine and it's a great addition.
9:15 Respectively Seth. Please remove at least one battery when playing around with the chains. I know there are two interlocking mechanisms. But for absolute proof that neither will be triggered, remove the power.
It has a button you have to push before you squeeze the trigger and a brake that you can push forward to cut the power. The chances you get cut by it has got to be in the billionth of precent, but as you said better safe than sorry. If you accidentally forget though I think you'll be fine.
@@LandtoHouse I have a wood boiler and run it year around. I used this and my little 10 inch Black and Decker chainsaw during the warmer months to cut wood. Much lighter and works well for light firewood cutting. I stay much cooler not lugging around a big 20 inch gas chainsaw.
What kind of camera do you use? Seems pretty good! Just bought one of these on clearance as I have some other worx tools. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does.
You scared the shit out of me when you started trying to fix the chain without taking off the batteries, insane. Apart from that good video. I was yelling at the screen, omg take the batteries out dude. LOL Is this a good saw for a woman to use???? How heavy is it?
@@LandtoHouse What I meant was for deciding on the length, to fit the stove. Sometimes place the saw parallel and eye-ball it, then turn it back around to cut.
For a small tree in suburbia it'd be okay to fall something like that , but if you have a 50-acre farm such as myself and want to fall real trees , no .
Cut a log that's not rotten. This makes me question the power and the charge time if I have to cut up a live tree. Nice review but no thanks. I'm not sold on it at all
Best, most informative and easiest to follow "how to" video I've seen! (On any topic!

Oh my god..!!! I just bought one, and used it 1 minutes ago for the first time!! So glad to see this video!!
It is a great saw! So easy so load up on the atv and hit the trail for those trees across the road.

Great brand...already use drill and scre drives ❤
Great demonstration of this saw. Thanks!

Do you have an update video on if you're still using it and how it's performing?
yeah this video was the most helpful one I found yet. Thank you. I need it for those pesty tree branches while out 4x4ing.
Nice! Happy it helped. I have used this saw more than my Stihl.
My worx change saw did pretty good for about five hours. Now, it's continually cutting out, even with fully charged batteries
i purchased a open box, returned because the chain stretched, i modified the chain bar and purchased a chain 1 link smaller (55) , but you’ll need to grind 3/16 off the inside end, now plenty of adjustment for stretched chain.
Enjoyed the review of your new battery chainsaw. Seems to work well.
Thank you. I'm really enjoying it.
Great video! I normally sharpen my blade while it's on the saw. If you cannot soon the chain, how do you sharpen it, perhaps there's another way?

Worx make bigger batteries than the standard 2Ah, you can put two 5 or 6 Ah batteries on it.

Tree hugger loves chainsaw. Lol.
😂🤣😅
@@admin8446 It's so much easier to hug when it's laying down . . .
Tree huggers may enjoy sustainable forestry, where cutting dead/useless/competitive trees is required. Think a bit.
@mmodnao yep as a big proponent of being green myself I support the lumber industry as long as they are planting new trees
Have you substitute the chain oil with mobile 1? is it possible?
I am on my second one both wouldn't run because the chain wouldn't disengage
Beautiful. Thanks for the video
Thank you. Its a great saw.
Will be sending this back immediately. Made 12 cuts and on the next cut it would only scratch the the surface of the wood. The chain tension seems fine, any chance a chain can go bad that quickly?
If you hit a rock or dirt is can go bad in 1 cut. I have had this for over a year and no less than 500 cuts. Same chain still sharp.

May I ask which Powershare batteries you were using : 2Ah, 4Ah, or 6Ah ?
Sweet
If I ever decided to chainsaw a sorority house I am getting a battery powered one, Less noise than the most traditional gas powered chainsaws 🤣🤣
Was looking to pick up one of these for light to medium work. Great review, definitely going ahead with the purchase now.
I have 2 of the 20v versions and they work great, just get the bigger batteries, though. 6ah batteries should be better. I also bought the extension pole for mine and it's a great addition.
That looks like some super soft dead wood, not comparable to a traditional cut.
What Grade of Oil using on This Worx Chain Saw 14 inch Saw ! And what Blend of Oil .
Regular chain saw oil 30 WT. I use poulan pro chainsaw oil.
🤔That saw is impressive for what it is. 👍
9:15 Respectively Seth. Please remove at least one battery when playing around with the chains. I know there are two interlocking mechanisms. But for absolute proof that neither will be triggered, remove the power.

Are you still using this? How have you lked it? I just got one and love it. Great little chainsaw for firewood.
Yes I use this often! Its nice.

Thank you for watching. I am really enjoying this saw. SO easy to pack up and take out for small tree jobs.
What kind of camera do you use? Seems pretty good! Just bought one of these on clearance as I have some other worx tools. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does.
This video was filmed with the cannon G7X mii. I have enjoyed this saw a lot. I especially like that it's quiet.
Quando costa questa moto segha compresa di batterie
Does it come with a case?
👍👍👍
Сколько ампер аккумулятор?
У него 2. В продаже есть и на 4 и на 6
I'll keep my Milwaukee electric chainsaw but good review.
Nice. I hear those are also good.
Does it automatically oil the chain?
I have one of these, sorry I’m late with the reply but yes the chain is oiled automatically.
Hey i have a question about the saw. Will it accept the 6ah battety packs? Thanks!
To be honest I am not sure. It works well with the thin batteries. I have not tried the 6ah.
@@LandtoHouse Hey thanks for the reply!
This rotten trunk could also be cut with breakfast knife, I guess.
Look, it's already falling apart while your sawing.
The cost of new Battery is how much.
Looks like a 2 pack on worx is $119.
A 12 inch would it work well on small three to four inch trees 🌲.
What happened to your gloves on the 2nd bunch of trees?
Hmmm good question. Perhaps I forgot them.
You scared the shit out of me when you started trying to fix the chain without taking off the batteries, insane. Apart from that good video. I was yelling at the screen, omg take the batteries out dude. LOL Is this a good saw for a woman to use???? How heavy is it?
Buy yourself a logox now
Wish it would have a ruler guide to know where to make a cut.
I normally just hold the log against the back of the saw.
@@LandtoHouse What I meant was for deciding on the length, to fit the stove. Sometimes place the saw parallel and eye-ball it, then turn it back around to cut.
OH yes I see. Do some saws have that? I have not seen it before. I bet you could use a silver permit marker and make your own
This is the #1 worst tool I have ever purchased. You're better off with a 12v sawzall.
Really? I have just finished cutting 3 trees larger than 12" and then cut them into rounds.
Worx 40v or europe hilt 40v?anybody can give me suggestion..😔
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
For a small tree in suburbia it'd be okay to fall something like that , but if you have a 50-acre farm such as myself and want to fall real trees , no .
Well, we know it works on rotten logs. :(
The second half of the video shows an oak.
Clearly you didn't watch the whole video 🙄
Cut a log that's not rotten. This makes me question the power and the charge time if I have to cut up a live tree. Nice review but no thanks. I'm not sold on it at all
Never buying Worx again. I have an electric chainsaw that's only a couple of years old and the plastic gear inside stripped and is discontinued.
The 14" is just not big enough. When they get a 20" then it will be news and something useful.
I imagine that will be in the future. This saw has its applications. For many homeowners 14" of cutting will be enough.
А что гнилое дерево то пилишь?
I’d take the takers
I’d take the rakers down but that’s me I like my teeth to bite the wood more
you cut dustwood, pls cut a real tree.
