Greenworks 40V 16" Brushless Chainsaw Kit vs Toro Flex-Force 60V 16" Chainsaw Kit
Tinted cells mark the better figure on that row alone: more engine, longer bar, lighter, cheaper. A lighter weight is only a win on the same basis.
What owners like and complain about
Greenworks 40V 16" Brushless Chainsaw Kit
- Complete 4.0Ah kit at $300 undercuts most 16-inch battery saws from name brands
- 9.28 lb bare is light enough for sustained overhead limbing
- Narrow .043-gauge chain keeps the motor from bogging in small wood
- The 40V pack runs 75+ other Greenworks tools, including their mowers
- Tool-only version (2006002AZ, about $180) exists for owners who already have packs
- 120-minute recharge is double what Greenworks' own 60V and 80V kits take
- 16-inch bar oversells a 40V motor — big hardwood bogs it
- .043 chains are a narrower aftermarket than the .050 stock every shop carries
- 3-year warranty, not the 4-year the 80V line carries
- Greenworks reuses SKU numbers across generations, so parts lookups and used listings get confusing
Toro Flex-Force 60V 16" Chainsaw Kit
- 60V Flex-Force packs cross to Toro mowers, snow blowers, trimmers and blowers
- 3-year battery warranty matches the tool — unique in this group
- Brushless motor on a genuine 60V platform, not two 20V packs in series
- Tool-only 51850T lets Flex-Force owners skip a redundant battery
- Sold through Lowe's, Ace and Tractor Supply, so service and stock are easy to find
- The kit's 2.5Ah pack is small for a 16-inch 60V saw; a bigger pack is close to a required upgrade
- Toro's published 18.5 lb is the highest of any 16-inch battery saw here, and the basis is unstated
- $300 is the highest kit price of any 16-inch battery saw from a value brand here
- .043-gauge narrow-kerf chain despite the 60V motor
- No bar-length options — Toro's 60V handheld line is 16 inches only
