WORX WG322E.9 18V (20V MAX) 25cm Cordless Compact Chainsaw - (Tool Only - Battery & Charger Sold Separately), Black

Product Information

The Worx JawSaw Chainsaw (WG320), weighing in at only 7.9 pounds, is the safest chainsaw on the market. It can easily handle cutting through wood up to four inches in diameter, and the blade housing allows for safe cuts directly on the ground. I was very happy with how this machine performed. It neatly sliced through both large branches and small trunks, with the maximum diameter it could handle being roughly 50cm (when you cut from both sides). In terms of performance, this chainsaw did pretty well. The maximum diameter of wood that it can cope with is around 35cm (when you cut from both sides), but the smaller you go, the better the chainsaw performs. cordless chainsaw features high-speed 16 in. bar & chain for professional-grade performance and cutting capacity.

Attaching a chain to a chainsaw bar may not be an overly difficult task, but it’s still fiddly, especially if you’re new to chainsaws. Fortunately, unlike the majority of the chainsaws I reviewed, the WORX had its chain already attached to the bar, which saved several minutes of assembly time. I found this chainsaw to be very easy to use. The only potential downside would be its weight. 7kg is pretty heavy for a cordless chainsaw, but considering that you’re only going to be using it for a maximum of 45 minutes at a time (before the battery power runs out), its weight isn’t a dealbreaker in the slightest. In fact, I found that this actually gave the machine a sturdiness that made it easier to hold in place when cutting.Cordless chainsaw motors come in different sizes. It goes without saying that the larger the motor, the more powerful your chainsaw will be. The downside to a large motor is that this will detract from your battery’s runtime. Convenience – you don’t need to worry about mixing up petrol, or about electric cables getting in the way, when you use a cordless chainsaw

There are both pros and cons to this chainsaw’s price. While you could bag yourself a more powerful petrol chainsaw for almost half the price, this one offers up a number of features that are worth paying more for. For many, the most important would be how it’s pretty much ready to get going as soon as it’s out of the box – the ultimate in chainsaw convenience! Compared to other cordless chainsaws, its price is reasonable, especially considering that it comes with two batteries (plus a dual charger) and a two year manufacturer’s warranty. Less noise – one of the biggest advantages of a battery-powered chainsaw is that it’s far quieter than its petrol alternatives. There’s usually less vibration too, making it more comfortable to operate Einhell has a reputation for producing power tools and garden machinery at very affordable prices. However, as I found out when I tested their cordless strimmer, electric scarifier, cordless leaf blower, and petrol chainsaw, the brand doesn’t sacrifice on quality either. So, I was expecting their GE-LC 18 Li Cordless Chainsaw to be just as capable. I had a number of trees and branches lying around my farm (thanks to Storm Arwen) that needed to be cut up for firewood, so I was looking forward to putting this chainsaw to the test. Design: A well-designed cordless chainsaw will have considered ergonomics, with a comfortable handle and grip. Models with cushioned or anti-vibration handles were given top marks as these made the chainsaws more comfortable to use for long periods. I also looked for chainsaws with balanced weight distributions, as this improves the user’s manoeuvrability and control. While the optimal bar length varies depending on the tasks, those with longer bars (of 25 cm +) could complete a wider range of tasks, so they were given higher marks. I also identified whether each chainsaw’s bar length matched up with its power – for example, an 18 V system for a 15 – 20 cm bar chainsaw or a 36 V system for chainsaws with 30 cm bars and above.First and foremost, even if you don’t plan on using your cordless chainsaw for heavy-duty tasks, you’ll still need to invest in protective clothing and accessories, including chainsaw trousers, boots, gloves, and a hat/helmet, as well as safety goggles and ear defenders (these usually come attached to the helmet). This is something required by law, so don’t take it lightly. The fact that this machine is so small and lightweight (just 3kg , even with the battery in), makes it very easy to manoeuvre and cut in a controlled manner. I used it with a 4aH battery, which enabled me to cut on and off for about two hours. I was impressed with the battery life, but not so much with the machine’s chain speed – at 4.5m/s , it was much slower than some of the other chainsaws that I tested (I would recommend the Makita, at 20m/s, if you’re looking for something faster). Considering this big oversight, I would have to say that this chainsaw is a little pricey. You could spend a similar amount of money and bag yourself a chainsaw that’s fitted with all of the right safety features while also having a larger motor and longer bar. However, it wouldn’t be easy to find another chainsaw that’s this lightweight – most are significantly heavier. If low weight is a high priority, then this battery powered chainsaw would be considered good value. It’s easy to see why those who don’t have much chainsaw experience often find chainsaws to be intimidating – after all, these power tools can cause a fair bit of damage. That’s exactly why Bosch created their UniversalChain 18V Cordless Chainsaw. Designed with new users in mind, this chainsaw is geared towards those who need a power tool to help with pruning trees and cutting firewood. Thanks to Storm Arwen, I had plenty of the latter to do, and I was counting on this chainsaw to help me clear up the damage.

Our smaller 8” pole saw (WG349) has an adjustable telescopic pole with a maximum reach of 13 feet. For better control, the rear handle can rotate 180° degrees, and the blade can be adjusted between 0°, 15°, and 30° angles as desired. Where this battery powered chainsaw really shines is in how easy it is to use. I loved how lightweight this machine is – at just 3kg , even with the battery in, it’s not going to leave your arms aching, which cannot be said for most of the other chainsaws that I tested.They’re very lightweight when compared to petrol chainsaws – this not only makes them easier to move around to different parts of your garden, but also gives you more manoeuvrability if you need to take your chainsaw up a ladder or a tree

High-Efficiency Brushless Motor 2.0 produces 40% more power and a 10% longer run time than first-generation brushless motors, as well as a 10X longer life than standard brushed motors. While I may have found a few more flaws to this battery powered chainsaw when compared to the others that I tested, its price makes up for these. This is a very affordable machine – you’d struggle to find a good chainsaw for any cheaper, especially one that doesn’t skimp out on quality.From our experience, we found that the best cordless chainsaw will generally weigh under 5 kg . These are powerful yet manageable and make it possible to maintain control. Nevertheless, you could also choose a chainsaw closer to 3 kg if you want something particularly light . A chainsaw’s cutting speed will tell you how fast that machine will be able to saw itself through a piece of wood. Smaller models could have a cutting speed of just 4 m/s, whereas higher-end cordless chainsaws can offer up to 20 m/s, which is comparable to a petrol chainsaw. Even those who have never heard of WESCO before would take a second look at the WESCO 36V Cordless Chainsaw. At first glance, it certainly appears impressive, so I had high hopes for its ability to help me tidy up the branches that Storm Arwen had scattered around my farm. The length of a chainsaw’s cutting bar will determine the size of wood that you can use the machine on. Although cordless chainsaws usually have a shorter bar than petrol chainsaws, there’s still a fair bit of variation to choose from, usually between 15-30cm. This chainsaw’s fantastic performance is partly due to how powerful it is. As mentioned, its 36V motor makes use of two 18V batteries , giving it double the power of its 18V competitors. I went with 5aH batteries and enjoyed a continuous run time of about 30 minutes . I was using it at full speed for pretty much all of this time, meaning 20 m/s, which, again, is significantly faster than many of the other battery powered chainsaws out there. If you use the machine at a slower speed and on smaller pieces of wood, you’ll enjoy a longer runtime.
