Take advantage of big Labor Day deals on Greenworks chainsaws and more to improve your garden

When the temperature drops, you might be looking for a reliable chainsaw for gardening tasks—namely, cutting down trees and branches after unpredictable storms. Of course, it’s always good to have an electric saw on hand for tree maintenance, pruning, and even cutting down overgrown shrubs. Whatever your reason, stop looking at those pricey gadgets and turn instead to the Greenworks 40V Compact Chainsaw—an affordable, durable option that’s on sale as part of Amazon’s Labor Day sale. Need more lawn care tools? You can score a ton of Greenworks garden gadgets at big discounts.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

You’re saving almost $40 with this discount (almost enough, in fact, to invest in a Greenworks 5-Speed ​​fan when you’re sweating it out). It also weighs just six pounds, meaning practically anyone can use it without straining themselves — that in itself is priceless! And while that’s not the lowest price we’ve ever seen it on sale, it recently went for a whopping $177.

What do I need this for? 🤔

If you already have Greenworks tools, you can reuse the same 40V batteries with this chainsaw. It’s an easy way to extend the usefulness of your entire tool kit. If not, it’s a great way to get into the Greenworks ecosystem — and we guarantee they’ve got it all.

The battery allows for up to 65 cuts on a single charge, and the chainsaw is powerful enough to easily cut through even thick branches without jamming; it also produces no emissions. There’s even a built-in automatic blade oiler to keep the blade turning without friction. You can also re-tension both the bar and chain without using tools.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 3,500 Amazon customers trim their hair, ahem, filled with love for this power tool.

Pros 👍

“I’ve had it for four years, bought it in 2019 and it still works great with the original battery. I’m not a lumberjack, but I live in the woods and sometimes trees fall,” said one buyer. “The saw is very light and easy to use. It’s loud, but not as loud as a gas-powered saw. I can cut down several trees on one charge.”

“This is the perfect saw for cleaning houses and small farms,” wrote another fan. “We bought it to replace our two old gas saws—both of which had fuel line issues due to today’s gasoline. The battery life is similar to a tank of fuel. The chain speed is fast enough to effortlessly cut through decent-sized oak limbs and small trees. The charger works fast enough to take a quick break without losing daylight. It’s nice not to tire your hand by yanking on the gas starter.”

It is fully usable, even for older people. “I am very pleased with this chainsaw,” said one. “It is light and safe to use. I am 90 years old and do not feel insecure using it.”

Disadvantages 👎

“The only downside is that the battery can be difficult to (remove),” wrote a generally satisfied buyer, adding, “This saw works great. It even cuts trees as large as 18 inches, working both sides. I often travel camping and to the backcountry, and this saw saves me from buying firewood.”

“The only thing I have a complaint about is that the oil tank is too opaque to see the oil level and judge when to refill,” said a recent fan. “To be on the safe side, I added oil every hour because the gauge was unreadable. … Super powerful for a battery-powered chainsaw. (And) the battery also lasts surprisingly long and charges quickly.”
