GreenWorks 20222 10.5 Amp 14" Corded Chainsaw (Open Box)

Very happy with this purchase. I went with this size motor in order to run with a 2000W generator. It works fine. Comparing to a Homelite/Remington in this class that my brother owns. The metal bucking teeth are nice compared to some with plastic. The square safety button on the handle is comfortable and easier to use and less pressure than the small round on some others. The guard seems sturdier and better attached. The tool less chain adjustment is priceless when you don't have a wrench around, and the chain does loosen as it ages. It is no louder or quieter than the competition. It cuts just as effectively as my Stihl MS170, but without the noise, and the weight. It is no louder than our circular saw, and I find no need to wear hearing protection. The drawbacks I noticed are the cord lock opening is only big enough for a 16 or maybe 14 gauge extension cord. And there is no kickback chain brake. To avoid the leaking oil issue, I store it vertically, handle down in a bucket. Conclusion is this is a great tool for home and in-close work where noise may be a factor. In no way would we get rid of our gas chainsaw. since it fills a need, But for 1/4 the price, it does 80% of the chores. Its definitely is going with us camping this year with the generator. As for the electrical draw, I tested using a Kill-o-Watt meter, and under no load. and a 50ft 16ga extension cord, I saw a start up draw of about 11 amps for a second, and then constant 6.3 amp draw running. Have not tested under load cutting wood. Update: Took on extended camping trip, We like constant campfires for the ambiance and keeping bugs away. Friends brought their gas chainsaws, and I brought this, and a 50ft electrical cord and Honda 2k gen. We went cutting on the hillside above the campground, and nobody in camp could hear the generator or chainsaw. Unlike a gas saw. We cut in camp also, and the CG host, 100yds away did not hear us either. All my buddies were impressed enough that they are looking to get one too. We bucked downed trees up to 24" dia. It cut just as well as a gas saw. Only downside, is the price of the saw is now higher.
