GreenWorks 20312 Cordless Chainsaw Review
As a cordless, battery-powered chainsaw, the GreenWorks 20312 delivers smooth, clean cuts and long chain life. Let’s be honest: having a cordless tool like the GreenWorks 20312 Electric Chainsaw makes life much more convenient for higher, up-in-the-tree jobs. There’s no dealing with a cord, and there are no worries about how far it will go. And at less than 7 pounds, it’s like lifting up your Yorkie, but without all the tipping.
The GreenWorks 20312 takes ion-lithium technology to the next level with 30% more torque and 70% less vibration than gas-powered chainsaws. This means more power. It applies an innovative brushless motor technology that allows for longer life, better efficiency, and less noise. That makes this saw a perfect tool for users of any sawing experience – novice or veteran. This cordless chainsaw packs a heavy-duty Oregon bar and chain, chain brake, metal bucking spikes, and an automatic oiling system.
This saw does the job quickly and efficiently. An automatic oiler is facilitated by first unscrewing the tethered cap at the left side of the saw and filling it with chain oil. You can control the chain tension and chain removal by two dials on the right side of the saw. As a result, the chain retains tension very well. Like traditional chainsaws, the GreenWorks 20312 saw has many safety features, including a chain brake and a low kickback chain, a handguard, and a trigger that shuts off the saw when not in use.
Power the saw by hitting the switch. There’s also an automatic time-out after a minute or so of inactivity. Restarting this cordless chainsaw is a breeze, especially if you are perched at 20 feet in the air—no more pull-starting; get started with the push of a button.
Other than the normal motor whine, the noise is impressively low, making it a great option if you live in a busy neighborhood. This saw’s steel .043 gauge Oregon blade and chain provide more cutting power with less motor strain. This also allows for less hassle in cutting larger-diameter wood.
