EGO Power+CS1610 16-Inch 56V Lithium-ion Cordless Chainsaw-Battery and Charger Not Included, Black

I have used the chainsaw only once. I am impressed how powerful it is. Big fan of EGO tools. Used 7.5 Ah battery.

I bought this since I live in a wooded area. I’m not using it to cut down trees on a daily basis, just as piece of mind for when one falls in a storm. So far, it easily took care of ten pretty large tree trunks that had fallen and needed split for moving. I also bought this without the battery since I had other batteries at home from previous tools. It worked just fine with a 5.0 amp Ego battery and had plenty of life left. It is powerful and cut like butter. I do not regret buying this to have for my property.

Powerful, lightweight, works well for me.

I had a Silver Maple removed. Per our contract, the company chipped all it could and left the larger logs and trunk for me to deal with.I bucked (cut to useable size) the logs with my 14 and 18-inch Ego chainsaws. They worked great. Most of the rounds and chunks were already picked up by many people for their fire pits or furnaces.I knew the 5-6 foot diameter trunk would be more difficult. I ordered the Ego 20-inch saw expecting the extra 2 inches and more powerful motor would do the job.I was right. The 20-inch saw tore through the trunk creating over 100 gallons of wood chips/dust. I had to reduce the trunk to about 25% of its starting size so the City would pick it up.I used 3 - 7.5 Ah and 5 - 5.0 Ah batteries with 3 quick chargers. As soon as I depleted a battery I put it on a charger. I limited myself to 3 hours at a time and the 8 batteries were able to keep up. Do not expect to use this saw hard with only 1 battery. To get full speed out of it you need a 6.0 Ah or greater battery.I was very happy I bought the 20-inch saw although I think the 18-inch saw would have been able to do the job but would have taken longer.This 20-inch saw is heavy with the 7.5 Ah batteries but is manageable in vertical cuts where its weight provides a downward force on the chain. Horizontal cuts were tiring.

does a great job cutting medium, size trees. very light and easy to use. so far the battery life is acceptable, but may have to get a longer lasting one later when I really get to cutting wood. Chain oil filler cap is a pain but the chain tensioning. system is great. it's not a gas chainsaw, but for what it is, in this old man's hands is great.
