Greenworks 24V 6" Mini Chainsaw Cordless , Small Cordless Handheld Saw, 2.0Ah Battery and Charger Included, for Tree Trimming Wood Cutting, Best Gifts for Dad, Husband

Update 6/8/2025: The chain tensioning knob broke! It had actually broken last year, but I was still able to work it with pliers; but now it’s more broken and I can’t even make it work with pliers. Bummer! I love this tool! But the tensioning knob is plastic, and not well made enough to resist the force required to tension the chain correctly. I’m not sure if I will buy another saw; perhaps, knowing this weakness, I’d be able to avoid it breaking again?Incredibly useful tool! Lightweight, easy to use, cuts quickly through any vegetation up to 2 inches, can take down trees up to 5 or 6 inches. Get a couple of batteries, the larger capacity ones, and extra cutting chain, be sure you have the right size file for sharpening, and for tree trimming, brush clearance, and a million cutting chores, it’s fantastic!The only drawback is that there is not automated chain oiling mechanism, so you have to carry a small bottle of chain oil (provided) and oil the chain fairly frequently.Also, the plastic handle for the chain tightening knob broke, so I have to use pliers to turn it now. Be careful with the knob, knowing it’s a bit flimsy.But overall, an incredibly useful tool!So, a further update: I searched the Greenworks site for replacement parts: None available online. So, I can customer service. I sit on the phone for 2 HOURS!!! No answer; and no other way of contacting them. No email. Of course the Chatbot is useless. Now I’m annoyed, and would bring my rating down, except for the fact that the tool itself is incredibly useful.3rd update, 6/10/25: All’s well that ends well! Today I called customer service again. After a long time—maybe 45 minutes (with my phone on speaker, doing other tasks) I FINALLY got through to a person! She told me “it’s our busy season”—right, got it! So I explained my issue; and, long story short, they are sending me a replacement saw!!! 3-year limited warranty covering defects in workmanship—which I would say this was. They don’t even want me to send back the broken saw. Needless to say, I am very happy with this. And, I will be careful when tensioning the chain.

Works better than I expected. Has the power and ability to cut through not only tree branches but also small tree stumps. Branches that would take some effort and space to cut with a bow saw fell rapidly to this handheld mini-chainsaw. Worked on 2 stumps and 10 branches with no noticeable battery power loss.

I've looked at these hand held chainsaws for a while but didn't think they would work well. Watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and figured I take a shot at it. Really works well for pruning small branches or cutting out nuisance bushes or saplings. I have to remind myself that it is a real chainsaw and be safe while using it. I'm not going to clear cut 40 acres with it but it's much quicker than a bow saw or loppers. The only drawback is there's no automatic oiler. I figure it was eliminated to keep the compact design. It's easy enough to use the included squit bottle to oil the chain every so often. I'm happy with the product so far.

A handy tool for small jobs. I especially like the safety feature which prevents this mini chainsaw from causing injury by shutting off unless two hands are controlling it at all times. It is lightweight and easy to charge. But do not expect the smooth cutting features of the larger chainsaw. The teeth on this chainsaw are large for a tool of this size which enables the user to cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch tree branches but if you want to smoothly cut larger branches or medium to large logs or posts or lumber (e.g. 2 x 4s)go for a bigger chainsaw or Skilsaw depending on the job.

This is an excellent product, holding the charge and cutting the woods. I have cut down few trees branches with it this summer. Very useful and can be handled with just one hand.

I love it. It helps for the small trees in my yard. And cutting up small branches. Has a very good length of charge i can get alot done. Not all. But alot. Worth it

I'm a woman and can use this with one hand, weight is reasonable, I love using this saw. It cuts through limbs no problem, don't know why I didn't get this sooner, value for money on Black Friday, has good safety switch and the flip up cover on the teeth keep debris from shooting up at my eyes.....such a great design, installing the battery is super easy, love Greenworks

Wow! I've owned some old-school chainsaws, but I wanted something easy peasy for trimming up small trees in my landscape. This turned out to be the ticket.Though I bought this almost a year prior to this review, I just pulled it out of the box this afternoon. Per the instructions, I oiled the chain and went to work. It slices through 3-4 inch limbs like butter. And it's extremely light.In 15 minutes of trimming up three Vitex trees, this thing paid for itself — and then some. Last time those trees were trimmed, it cost me $200.This is an excellent product!
