There have been a few different threads on electric chainsaws, just thought I’d share Costco.com has a deal going on the GW 18”, 80v 4AH battery and two replacement chains for $299+tax delivered ($100 off).

I’d been going back and forth between Ego 56v and Greenworks. I already have a few Ego tools, but this seems like a good deal. The 16” Ego I was looking at was $379.

Would like to see your review of this tool after 15 or 24 hours of use.
When you get a chance ,
Please

I’m waiting for their lawnmower to go on clearance at the end of the season.

911Boss ... I have a bunch of Ego products including the chainsaw. Since you have a few Ego tools, why not just get the bare tool Ego (without battery and charger) for $239 ?

There is a Mr. Lumber guy on Y.T.
He has a dozen Chain saws.

Two of them are battery operated another one is corded electric.

He takes turn show the optimal applications.

I wish I could find his channel

I’m going back and forth on that. I love Costco satisfaction policy and it has 4 year warranty on the tool/battery. Looks like replacement chains are about $20/ea so it is almost on par with Ego tool only.

Also, 4AH 80v battery is going to give more run time/power than my Ego 3AH 56v batteries. Also I am taking into account that my current b arteries are all about 6-7 years old, so might be needing new battery regardless.

Haven’t made my final decision yet, reviews on booth seem to be about equal.

An 80 volt battery? that is crazy... when are they going to come out with the 120?

but it sounds like it is still 4 amp hours ... which in my experience with 18volts is not really that much for a heavy use tool... but then it could be like my Milwaukee weed eater.... I've got a 8 or 9 Amp hour battery for it and when it finally stops ... it's time for me to stop also.

Really enjoy his videos.

4 Amp hours at 56v is is “less” power than 4ah at 80v. “Power” (watts) = current (amps) X voltage

So 4ah gives you 224 watts at 56v vs 457 watts at 80v.

Unfortunate fact of life is that there isn’t exactly an American made option for many things these days.

I have a Greenworks 60V chainsaw with 16" bar. Got it on fleabay for a good price. It works well enough for trimming crepe myrtles and other small trees / branches. I also have a Greenworks 60V blower, so I have 2 batteries to alternate using. Just bought a Greenworks 60V edger as well.
