5. Worx WG320 20V Power Share JawSaw Cordless Chainsaw

With a fully-enclosed bar and chain, the Worx 6” 20V JAWSAW™ Chainsaw is the safest chainsaw you can buy. The bar and chain actually retract into the neck of the tool when not in use, so you’ll never have a bare chainsaw just lying around the yard. And when in use, the thick protective housing prevents the blade and chain from ever getting outside of it. The bar moves up and down to accommodate branches up to 4” thick, but far less of the chain is ever exposed. Plus, the housing acts as prop for cutting branches on the ground. With a traditional chainsaw, you have to prop them up first to safely cut them, but with the JAWSAW, you can get to work on fallen branches right from the grass or pavement. It’s lightweight, less than 8 lbs, so it’s easy to hold up high and cut above your head. As a matter of fact, it’s compatible with our 5-foot pole attachment (sold separately), so you can trim tree limbs without having to get on a ladder. That’s safer, too. And the auto-tension and auto-oiler systems will keep the chain operating at optimum levels throughout the life of this tool. This model comes with a 20V 2.0Ah battery and 0.4A charger, which you can use to operate any tool on the Worx Power Share platform. So the next time you buy a tool, you probably won’t need to buy a new battery.

THE SAFEST SAW AROUND - The Jawsaw is the one and only chain saw with a fully protective guard. When not in use the blade retracts into the base. And because of that guard, this is the only chainsaw made for cutting directly on the ground CUTS THICK BRANCHES - Saw through material up to 4 inches in diameter. And with its innovative single action cutting mechanism, you’ve never had so much easy to use cutting power SAME BATTERY, EXPANDABLE POWER - The same battery powers over 75+ 20V, 40V, and 80V lifestyle, garden, and power tools in the Power Share family THE CHAIN STAYS TIGHT - Auto-tension feature guarantees optimum tension at all times. This patented system ensures you’ll always have the most efficient cut THE CHAIN STAYS OILED - Features an automatic chain oiler with oil level indicator, which extends the life of the saw, the blade, the chain, and makes smoother cuts LIGHT ENOUGH TO USE OVERHEAD - The Worx Jawsaw weighs 7.1 lbs. without the battery attached. Not only is that light for a chainsaw – the even weight distribution and safety jaw guard bolster the tool and make it easy to maneuver around overhead branches FAST ENOUGH TO GET IT DONE - The no-load speed for the Jawsaw is 1350 rpms, making it one of the fastest in its class. You’ll appreciate the speed when you start making smooth, even cuts

8. WORX - 20V 5" Cordless Pruning Saw (1 x 2.0 Ah Battery and 1 x Charger) - Black

The Worx WG324 20V Power Share 5” Cordless Pruning Saw is the perfect around-the-yard or on-the-go compact cordless chainsaw for pruning bushes, trimming limbs, delimbing fell trees, bucking fell trees, and more. A great tool for chopping up logs for the campfire, clearing a path while hunting, or for just maintaining your property. Full of safety features, like the retractable guard over the bar & chain, and the handle guard to defend against flying debris. This is a less intimidating chainsaw, with a compact, lightweight form-factor that makes it easier to operate and control. But it doesn’t skimp on the specs. The 5 in. bar length is long enough to delimb 4 in. diameter branches if the tree is still standing, or 10 in. diameter branches if it’s already on the ground. But at that size it excels at getting at harder to reach and awkwardly placed branches that a full-size traditional chainsaw wouldn’t be able to easily reach. The chain speed is 18.4 ft./s. (5.6 m./s.) with a ¼ in. chain pitch and 0.043 in./32 links chain gauge. It only weighs 3.86 lbs. with the battery attached and 3.04 lbs. bare. That light weight makes it easier to hold up high when pruning. The Worx WG324 20V Power Share 5” Cordless Pruning Saw is ideal for residential homeowners, home flippers, or outdoor enthusiasts. A truly handy little cordless chainsaw.
