RYOBI 18V Brushless 8 in. Compact Pruning Mini Chainsaw — Tool Only, ONE+ HP Power & Lightweight

Compact, cordless, and engineered for pruning and light limbing, this RYOBI mini chainsaw pairs a brushless motor with RYOBI ONE+ HP electronics and high-performance lithium compatibility to deliver faster cutting and longer runtime. Its 8" bar and chain handle limbs up to 6" in diameter while the reduced overall size lets you reach tight spots around trees, shrubs, and fence lines without hauling gas or extension cords.

How fast and powerful is this compact pruning saw?

The ONE+ HP system couples a brushless motor and optimized electronics to increase cutting speed compared with basic 18V tools. You get quick cuts and sustained power so pruning sessions move faster and require fewer battery swaps.

• Brushless motor for improved efficiency and longer tool life
• ONE+ HP electronics tuned for higher cutting speed
• Over 65 cuts per charge under typical pruning conditions (battery dependent)

What size branches can it handle and how compact is it?

Equipped with an 8" bar and chain, this pruning chainsaw is sized to tackle branches up to about 6" in diameter—ideal for pruning, light limbing, and clearing small growth. The tool is approximately 30% smaller than larger chainsaws, giving access to confined spaces where full-size saws won't fit.

• 8" bar and chain for limbs up to 6" diameter
• About 30% smaller footprint for tight access
• Lightweight design reduces user fatigue during repeated cuts

How easy is it to use and maintain?

The saw is built for user-friendly operation: a variable-speed trigger offers precise control, a stored combination wrench lets you quickly tension the chain, and an oil-free design removes the need to add bar and chain oil. Safety features including chain and handle guards add protection during operation and storage.

• Variable speed trigger for controlled cutting
• Onboard combination wrench for fast chain tensioning
• Oil-free system eliminates routine bar oil refills
• Chain and handle guards to reduce kickback risk
