Greenworks 40V 18" Chainsaw Kit vs Greenworks 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 18" Chainsaw Kit
- 2.0 kW matches Greenworks' 60V and 80V saws from a 40V pack
- Ships the 5A fast charger rather than the 2A charger in cheaper 40V kits
- Claimed 160 cuts is the longest run Greenworks publishes for the 40V line
- Standard 3/8"/.050 62-link chain — the most commonly stocked size in America
- 9.5 lb bare is light for an 18-inch saw
- Costs $40 more than the 60V 18-inch kit that makes the same rated 2.0 kW
- 3-year warranty where Greenworks' 80V saws carry 4
- 40V is the oldest and least energy-dense platform Greenworks still sells
- Published weight excludes the 5.0Ah battery, which is a real addition at this bar length
Greenworks 60V 16" Chainsaw Kit
- Same 2.0 kW motor as the 60V 18-inch in a better-balanced package
- Side-mounted tensioner and oil-level window are genuinely useful at this price
- Inertia-activated chain brake rather than a hand-guard-only mechanism
- 60V is Greenworks' broadest platform — over 75 tools share the pack
- $330 for a 2.5Ah pack claiming only 100 cuts — the worst runtime-per-dollar in the Greenworks lineup
- The 80V 16-inch kit costs less, carries a bigger battery, and claims 2.5x the cuts
- Published weight excludes the battery
- Kit pricing has drifted above the tool-only SKU's value proposition
