Greenworks 24V Cordless 12" Chainsaw — 4.0Ah Battery, Brushless Motor, Lightweight Home Pruning

The Greenworks 24V 12-inch cordless chainsaw is a lightweight, battery-powered tool that delivers brushless-motor torque for homeowner pruning and light cutting tasks.

This compact chainsaw pairs a 12" bar and chain with a 24V 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery and fast charger, giving you a quiet, maintenance-friendly alternative to gas models. Designed for occasional users and property owners who need an easy-starting saw for trimming branches, cutting small logs, and general yard cleanup, the unit emphasizes low weight, simple upkeep, and compatibility with Greenworks' 24V tool platform.

How does the brushless motor improve cutting performance?

The brushless motor offers increased torque, quieter operation, and longer motor life compared with brushed designs. That means more consistent power during cuts and less frequent motor maintenance.

• 2x more torque for smoother cutting on small limbs and logs
• Quieter operation for early-morning or suburban use
• Longer motor lifespan and reduced internal wear

What features reduce routine upkeep and make it easy to use?

This chainsaw eliminates many gas-engine chores: no choke, spark plug, or starter rope. Automatic chain lubrication and tool-free tensioning simplify maintenance so you spend more time working and less time adjusting or servicing the saw.

• Automatic oiler maintains proper chain lubrication
• Tool-less chain tensioning for quick adjustments
• Push-button electric start means no pull cord or fuel mixing

How long does the 4.0Ah battery run and what else can it power?

The included 24V 4.0Ah battery extends run time versus smaller cells and delivers fade-free power through the cut. Beyond the chainsaw, the battery is compatible with Greenworks' 24V lineup and includes a USB port for charging small electronics on the go.

• 4.0Ah cell offers longer run time for multiple light tasks
• USB port on battery for phone or device charging
• Works across 24V Greenworks tools for easy battery sharing

What comes in the box and what safety or capacity limits should I note?

The package includes the 12" chainsaw, protective scabbard, 4.0Ah battery, fast charger, and an operator's manual. The 12-inch bar is intended for light-duty pruning, limb work, and small log cuts—it's not designed for heavy felling or industrial forestry.

• Included: chainsaw, scabbard, 4.0Ah battery, fast charger, manual
• 12" bar suited to homeowners and occasional trimming tasks
• Not intended for large-diameter tree felling or professional logging

Who is this for: Homeowners, renters, and weekend gardeners who want an easy-to-start, low-maintenance chainsaw for routine yard care will appreciate this Greenworks 24V model. It’s particularly useful if you already own or plan to buy other tools on the Greenworks 24V battery platform and value quieter operation, tool-free adjustments, and a compact, cordless workflow.
