In summer 2021 I purcahsea a CS1400 EGO 56 Volt battery powered chainsaw. I immediately used it to cut up several small trees and branches that needed clearing in my yard. This chainsaw is surpisingly powerful for its small size and the fact that it is battery powered.
Features:
- Bar oil reservoir
- Chain tensioner with finger grips, (no need for screwdrivers).
- Bar/ chain removal with hand tightening, (After years of changing chains and bars with bolts and wrenches, several times per use, this feature was my favorite feature, by far).
- No need for the hassle and mess of mixed gasoline.
- I got about an hour of continual use per charge.
- Rapid battery charge took less than 45 minutes.
- Power indicator on the battery itself.
However, one limitation to make note of is that I was not able to successfully cut logs that were larger than 6″ diameter. They seemed to be a bit more than the chain could cut from a power perspective. However if I cut slow enough and was careful to not allow pinching I was able to get through them.
I would highly recommend this chainsaw for the homeowner for general brush clearing, and branch cutting. It’sclean, its powerful enough and it seemed as safe as one can get with a chainsaw.
I purchased this at Lowes but here is a Link to this same saw on Amazon
