Robby,

Thank you for your detailed and insightful as well as personal review of Greenworks 40v chainsaw.

I am especially glad to know about the Timberline sharpener which is going to make a huge difference in my ability to keep chains sharp in the small amount of time I have available.  With all the reading I have been doing lately I never even heard this product mentioned, let alone that sharpeners existed at all.  I guess I have just been reading 'old school'.  But I am all about saving time but still doing the job correctly, so am very glad to know that there the Timberline is so well received.

What other Greenworks tools do you have and do you find any worth recommending?  

How have you found the battery capacity thus far?  Do you notice it diminishing?  I assume you are aware of the 2 year battery guarantee.  I am a little surprised that you have so many batteries in use because I would think that you could get by with fewer of them since they are interchangeable.  

Do you have any opinion of how the power compares with a gas engine?  I have read that the 80v model compares to a 32cc gas engine.  Does that mean the 40v would be even lower?

Obviously I don't have my own Greenworks 40v saw yet but it is the main one I am trying to convince myself to buy!

Micah:

I have been investigating fuel, repair issues and various brands and types of chainsaws for several weeks now and your post brought up an option I had not yet come across. I wonder if you have heard of the website: pure-gas at org which helps people locate stations that sell ethanol-free gas? Finding a station within easy driving distance of us in WV and PA should make a huge difference in the amount of fuel-related issues we have with our small engines from now on! I hope you can find a location that is reasonable for you. Using ethanol-free gas will save you a pile over pre-mix by the quart.

Good luck with your chainsaw! What model did you settle on?
