Do you need to cut down some very small trees or saw apart branches? On one hand you could go with an axe or a foxtail saw, but that’s what we call wasting time.
On the other hand, a massive gas-powered chainsaw will probably qualify as total overkill. If you want something that sits neatly in the middle, a small and compact battery-powered chainsaw might be right for you, something like the Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw.
Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw

Who is this product for?

Moreover, this is the kind of chainsaw you would get if you need something small and portable, maybe to take with you for small landscaping and property cleanup jobs.
Moreover, the Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw is a battery powered chainsaw, not gas, and is much more eco-friendly and less harmful to the environment than chainsaws which use gas and spew out pollution.
What’s included?
When you purchase the Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw, you get a small battery-powered chainsaw, one that’s fairly lightweight, compact, and portable. You also get the 2aH battery, as well as the charger for the battery. This small and lightweight chainsaw comes with everything you need for basic sawing jobs around the home or on the go.
Overview of features
The Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw features a 10-inch bar and chain, which is not very long, but more than enough for basic home use. It’s enough to cut through small branches, pieces of wood, and to cut down small trees. Of course, it’s not designed for lumberjacks and full-scale logging operations, but it is more than small and lightweight enough for home use.
The Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw comes in at just over 7 pounds, making it one of the lighter chainsaws out there, something that can go a long way in preventing fatigue. This model also comes with 2 handles — the classic handle design which mostly all chainsaws feature.
However, what is really nice about these handles is that they are covered with a shock-absorbing grip that is also designed to provide you with a lot of traction. In other words, it is lightweight, easy to hold, and quite comfortable too.
The 24V lithium battery included here can last for about 35 cuts before it runs out, which is admittedly not very long. However, there is a larger version of this same chainsaw with a battery that can last up to 70 cuts on a single charge.
Therefore, if you need to make a lot of cuts and you want the Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw, it’s recommended to get two batteries so one is always fully charged.
What you may also appreciate about the Greenworks 10-Inch 24V Cordless Chainsaw is that it features a tool-free tension adjustment system for quick and easy adjustments to the chain.
The oil tank on this chainsaw is translucent, so you can always tell how much oil it has. Moreover, this chainsaw also features an automatic oil dispenser, which automatically lubes up the chain without you having to do anything at all.
