I was always a gas powered chainsaw user as a homeowner, since I didn’t think we were there yet with battery powered ones. I am totally wrong. This 18 inch Chainsaw worked comparable to my gas powered Craftsman chainsaw It was fun to compare when I first was a bit skeptical. The look and weight was comparable, so that was okay, since the 40v battery does have some weight to it but with good sufficient power. I found it cut thru some dried logs with good size chips, and when it came to harder woods like Crepe Maple the shavings were smaller. That is okay. The battery can be used on your other ryobi 40v products, so it works with my weed wacker too. Great. It did well and had very good power which did surprise me, and I think that can also be contributed to the brushless motor of this chainsaw, that is a big plus. There is a tool wrench that hides at the end of the handle, which makes it convenient as well, that it does rattle around in the plastic case and you have it handy. Nice plus there too. I found it to charge very fast and quiet. So for a kit this is great, an excellent chainsaw, battery, charger, and carrying case. This carrying case is also well made and comparable to my gas powered saw case. Let me tell you that I also experienced fantastic customer service, when I was having problems with the first one, they contacted me, troubleshooted and sent me a replacement right away. That is customer service and they kept in touch all along. Very important for this customer service and the following it generates. I’m looking to expand my Ryobi collection too because of this high level of customer service. Overall, really like this product, works well like a gas powered, and my customer service experience was excellent. To me it is comparable to gas powered chainsaw wthout the problems of gas mixing and carburetor problems with todays ethanol laced gasoline.
