EGO POWER+ Chain Saw, 16” Battery Powered Chainsaw, Electric Cordless, Includes 56V 4.0Ah Battery and Charger – CS1613

Rips trees down like a beaver. Fantastic tool. Good value. No more gas bullnoise. Remember to buy bar oil when you buy this. Any bar oil works. Amazing value when you score one on Amazon days or whatever it’s called. Cuts fast. So far no oil leakage. Really good torque and power. Better than gas torque wise. Better than gas in every way. Accepts other bars and chains. Easy to maintain.

I bought this because my wife cannot start our gas-powered saw, and finds the noise distracting and nerve wracking. She loves this new saw, has been using it a lot. It is somewhat lighter than our gas saw, and the simplicity of use and quiet, I think, make it a safer saw for her to use. It runs quite a while on a single charge. I find myself picking it up more and more. I have been a Stihl guy for a long time - used to do tree work - but this little gadget sure does work well.I was very surprised at how well - quickly - it cuts. Unless you propose to be bucking up redwoods, it is plenty of saw for nearly any purpose around the house. You could buck up a reasonable-size tree without any trouble. I have not had it long enough to comment on longevity, but it does seem well made.

Very strong performance, so much easier use and maintenance than a gas powered saw. Good balance with a 4ah battery. Perfect for most of the cutting I do, no more than a couple of hours work with an extra battery or two availble.

Just got this EGO chain saw, and I love it. I have had a Stihl gas model for decades, and although it has always worked well, I sometimes dread having to deal with the 2 cycle engine- hard to start, sometimes quits running and can't get it restarted. I researched different model cordless saws, and this model EGO sounded good. I don't have a lot of cordless power tools yet, and if I am buying into a specific companys 'family' to share batteries with various tools, seems EGO has one of the better reputations.I used the EGO saw this weekend to cut up a large pine tree which had broken off and fallen, and was surprised how well it worked on it. Almost seemed more powerful and efficient than my Stihl gas model, and I loved just having it stop in between cuts, and only running it when actually bucking the tree, vs the gas saw running (hopefully) constantly, with the noise and fumes. And when running, the EGO is so much quieter than the gas saw too. Nice! I'm definitely turning into a convert, to use cordless vs. gas engine tools after this. Very pleased with this saw.
