There is one very significant advantage the Greenworks has over high speed chainsaws which operate at 30m / p second and above. - the Greenworks chainsaw enables you to do the job and still have a degree of safety from protective clothing. Chainsaws operating at much faster speeds, leave you susceptible to fatal injuries where even Class 3 protective clothing doesn’t offer protection against chainsaw speeds of 30m per second. - Not that safety clothing is a serious consideration to some people.
Very good point. The electric clutch is also more sensitive relative to my gas saws, which should equate to a faster stop time.
I believe the light weight also contributes to improved safety, as the saw is easier to handle and control. No vibration probably reduces ergo related injuries for heavy users. Low noise is better for the ears.
The convenience of the electric drive system makes up for any lack in cutting speed in my opinion. My only issue with this saw is the lack of replacement parts. It's a disposable saw, but otherwise, not much to complain about.
Good demonstration on the saws.
Thanks.
Just got my Greenworks 16” saw today! Great video, thank you
Thank you, glad you liked the video 🙂
I'm thinking about getting this saw to cut bowl blanks, what was the cut like on your cookies? Smooth?
Great video man.
Yes, the chain moves fast enough for smooth cuts.
Excellant video. Ranks right up there with Project Farm. Thanks!
I have to admit I'm a Project Farm fan. I appreciate the complement!
Nice Comparison. Nice Job
Thank you!
Not sue what to get the green works or the skill 40 v. Both are on sale at Amazon. 10 difference. Mostly using it to cut logs for firewood and bbq
I ended up with 80v from costco. Night and day difference. It's worth the money.. built a cutting rack. Pile up wood 3 pieces deep about 4 feet high and cut through all of them with 18-inch saw. Cut my wood into 2 inch pieces for bbq. Takes me about 3 minutes. The 40v wouldn't even make it halfway down the first cut. I do 4 cuts. Also bought an 12 inch Oregon Bar and chain for trimming firewood. Cuts like butter.. if you go electric step up to 80v. Million times better.
Can you change the sprocket from 3/8 to 1/4 pitch?
I don't know if anyone makes a 1/4 pitch sprocket that will fit this saw or not, but if you had one, it would be easy to change.
Picking one up i don't think comparing it to a $300+ dollar saw isn't quite fair.
6 cuts I’ll stick with gas lol. Great review though!
If you're going to be cutting 14" wood, this is not the chainsaw to use. The battery lasts a good long while on small trees and limbs, though. With two batteries, one can charge while the other runs the saw. For larger wood, you need a larger battery or a gas saw.
@@outdoorsinoregon I agree. I have an Echo gas chain saw already which I dont plan to get rid of, for doing big stuff like what you were doing in the vid. But Im thinking of picking up the new 40v 12" greenworks saw bc most of what I do around my suburban backyard, is cutting limbs (2-3" dia) and the very rare 10-12" branch. Im not in a hurry so if I need to take a couple beer breaks to re-charge the batts thats ok. As I already have some greenworks tools, I can pickup the saw w/o batteries for under $100.
@@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather Right, the cordless saws make a lot of sense for smaller wood. I find with 2 batteries, I don't typically need to wait for charging. The convenience of battery power, less noise, not having to mix gas, maintain the engine, or breathe in 2-cycle fumes makes it worthwhile for me.
Note that Greenworks doesn't sell many replacement parts, so if you have an internal failure, the saw is done. Stihl, Husq, Echo, and Makita sell a full set of replacement parts for their cordless saws, but these saws are more expensive.
Mine leaks oil when I use it. Is it normal?
The motor shaft spins the worm gear, which spins the oil pump. So generally, oil should only be flowing while the chainsaw motor is spinning. Temperature changes can expand and contract the oil tank, which could cause the oil to "pump" out, but a loose or split hose could cause a leak as well.
@@outdoorsinoregon Thank you
Stihl bought a big stake in Greenworks.
I didn't know that, but can understand why. Both of my Greenworks saws are real workhorses, and I can't find much to complain about. They make for a good homeowner saw at a reasonable price.
The electric saw is quieter than the idling gas saw. No hearing protection would be required.
Absolutely, the electric saw is much quieter than the gas saw and won't disturb the neighbors. Hearing protection isn't strictly required with the electric, but it's still loud enough where I'm more comfortable wearing ear plugs than not.
The skil 40v 14-inch is a way better chain saw. Cooling fan in charger, higher rpm motor. Built much better
Thanks for the info; I have seen the Skil saws recently at my local retailer, but didn't know much about them.
I bought both and ran a head to head. The construction of the skil is way more durable. It cuts faster, the battery is heavier, it's a nice saw. I do like the chain tension better on the greenworks and the usb port on the battery. The cover on the skil can be removed very easy and that v is nice. Cutting and battery lasts longer on skil. I am thinking of returning the skil and getting the 80v greenworks. Skil doesn't make an 80. Costco has a great deal on greenworks . Overall, the skil is a much more durable and well put together saw. It was impressive and is 149. Greenworks seems like Chinese design. Cheap plastic, battery is much lighter than skil
@@outdoorsinoregon I just returned both.lol
@@AlwaysSlimShadyBro Yes, the Greenworks saws are a Chinese design. I have the 80V Greenworks saw sold as the Kobalt in Lowe's stores and have published several videos on it. Strong saw and cuts about as fast as a 46-50cc gas saw. My only complaint is that few parts are made available.
@@outdoorsinoregon the atlas looks the same as greenworks is the 80v louder than the 40
No😂
No, no and hell no. Fragile plastic, weak electricals and total junk............sorry I ever bought mine.
The Greenworks is faster. It is also faster each time it cuts.
