- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseThis product has been great. I even made a video reviewing it (enjoy our yard on youtube). It's perfect for smaller jobs. I was able to cut through a 6 inch trunk with no problems. I've used it for the whole summer and the chain came off a few times. Very easy to put back on. The tension knob makes any adjustments very easy to keep the chain tension. I already had some greenworks batteries so it made the decision very easy. I had an electric craftsmen saw but it was a pain when the chain came off. I didn't want a gas powered one as I only use it maybe a handful of times per season. This has been amazing!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseI like this chain saw. It is very light weight. It cuts pretty good. My autistic son does a better job with it than I do. It is easy to use. Tightening the chain is not too hard. The chain oil lasts a long time. But the battery life is stupidly short. We can only cut down 3 small trees at a time, before having to recharge. Re charging is pretty quick though, maybe an hour. It is very quiet. I like this a lot! Shape and design are pretty good too.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseI didn't use this until after the return window closed and it started leaking the fluid out the bottom from the first use. I called Amazon who had done the right thing in the past but told me no sorry all we can do is refund the item MINUS $10 restocking fee?? It's broken why would you restock it?? No response but refused to just replace it. The problem was I bought it on sale and now to replace with my tiny refund is that it's more than twice the cost. They should REPLACE it not refund it. I have spent thousands and thousands of $$ on Amazon but no more!! Seriously not worth the risk.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseI’ve only used this saw for a day cutting 8” to 18” diameter pine and oak. It’s quite powerful for a little saw. I have an 18” Pulan that is easier to stall. What I like most is the battery operation, no mixed gas, no priming, choking and stalling. Insert the battery and go. I only cut for about an 1/2 hr, but had plenty of battery left. I like this better than the 16” Green Works chain saw we have.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2023Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseI wasn’t too sure what to expect when I orders this. Have to say, I’m extremely happy. I mounted it to my zero turn mower and use it to trim branches and saplings as I mow. It’s got some serious power, and the tool-free chain tightening system is fantastic. Just loosen the big knob a few turns, tighten it back up and presto- done.
100% would buy again.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2023Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseWe started our cordless collection of tools with Greenworks and so I bought this chainsaw too. I did not need a battery since I had enough by now and the price was simply unbeatable. So far we used it once, and cannot complain. It's just heavy enough to let gravity do the work but not to have to handle it. The easy-tightening knob is a big plus. That was a deciding factor for me. I hate adjusting the chains the old way. A great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't fit any of our 40V Greenworks batteries
Size: 12" (Tool Only) Gen 2Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified PurchaseWhen we received the product, none of out three Greenworks 40V batteries fit the chainsaw. It is my understanding now that there are two different 40V GreenWorks platforms. You have to make sure you are getting the right one. I believe you have to be careful if you are ordering in Canada. You may get the incompatible version
