Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 14" Chainsaw vs Worx 40V Power Share 14" 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
Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 14" Chainsaw
- Tool-only option around $149-189 is the platform-owner bargain
- Brushless HP motor holds chain speed in moderate hardwood
- 5-year tool warranty, the longest in the value battery tier alongside Kobalt's
- Instant start and near-zero maintenance suit occasional users perfectly
- Massive Home Depot availability for tool, packs, and accessories
- 40V platform tops out at small-tree work — no 16"+ headroom here
- Stock bar and chain quality lag the saw; upgrades are common
- Plastic-heavy construction feels its price
- Kit pricing fluctuates constantly between bundles
- Ryobi.com rating pool is small compared to big-box aggregates
Worx 40V Power Share 14" Chainsaw Kit
- Uses the same 20V packs as the rest of the Power Share line — no 40V-only battery to own
- 5-year warranty, the longest of any saw in this group
- Bar and chain are standard Oregon parts, named on the spec sheet
- 26 ft/s chain speed is double the 20V 10-inch saw's
- One-hour recharge on the included dual-port charger
- Two 2.0Ah packs is a thin energy budget for a 14-inch bar — larger packs are a separate purchase
- Needs both batteries present and balanced; one weak pack cripples the saw
- 10.4 lb listed is not light for 14 inches of bar
- .043-gauge narrow-kerf chain limits it in hardwood
- Promotional pricing swings roughly $240 to $300
