What owners like and complain about

Greenworks 80V 16" Chainsaw Kit

  • 250 claimed cuts per charge is the longest run of any 16-inch saw Greenworks sells
  • Cheaper than the 60V 16-inch kit and ships a larger 4.0Ah battery
  • 4-year tool and battery warranty, a year longer than the 40V line
  • Full-size 3/8"/.050 chain rather than the narrow .043 on the 40V 16-inch
  • 9.5 lb bare keeps it manageable for limbing work
  • 65.6 ft/s chain speed is slow — it finishes cuts, it does not rush them
  • Ships the 2A charger, so refilling the 4.0Ah pack takes a full hour
  • 80V spare batteries are the priciest in the Greenworks range
  • Fewer tools on the 80V platform than on 40V or 60V

Greenworks 24V 10" Chainsaw Kit

  • Under $100 as a complete kit, cheaper than many bare-tool pruning saws
  • 4.5 lb makes it usable one-handed at arm's length
  • USB-C charging means no proprietary brick to lose
  • 24V pack runs 200+ Greenworks tools, the broadest range they offer
  • 3-year tool and battery warranty at a disposable-tool price
  • 30 cuts per charge is the shortest runtime in the catalog
  • Nothing over about six inches of hardwood belongs in it
  • 60-minute recharge on a pack you can flatten in ten minutes of work
  • All-plastic body; no bucking spikes, no serious chain brake expectations
