WORX 20V Cordless 5" Pruning Saw — Brushless Mini Chainsaw, 33 ft/s, Tool-Less Chain Change (Tool Only)

The WORX 20V Cordless 5" Pruning Saw is a lightweight, brushless mini chainsaw built to handle pruning, bucking, and trimming with tool-free chain changes and automatic chain lubrication.

Compact yet powerful, this handheld electric chainsaw delivers rapid cutting performance—up to 33 ft/s—while weighing about 3 lbs with battery. Designed for homeowners and landscapers who need a nimble, low-vibration saw, it runs on WORX Power Share batteries (sold separately) so the same pack can power many other WORX tools. Its brushless motor, automatic lubrication, and tool-less maintenance features keep you cutting longer with less downtime.

How fast and smooth does this mini chainsaw cut?

The brushless motor spins the 5-inch bar at speeds up to 33 feet per second, which produces consistent, clean cuts with reduced vibration compared to older models. That combination improves precision and makes repetitive tasks less fatiguing for your hands.

• 33 ft/s chain speed for efficient trimming and bucking
• Brushless motor for smoother power delivery and longer life
• Lower vibration to help maintain control and comfort

What maintenance features make it easy to use?

Maintenance is simplified with automatic chain lubrication and tool-less tensioning and replacement. The Smart Chain Lubrication system meters oil to match branch thickness, and the housing-cover knob lets you change or tension the chain without a wrench.

• Smart auto-lubrication adjusts oil flow per cutting load
• Tool-free chain replacement via a simple cover-knob twist
• Quick tensioning without additional tools for on-the-fly adjustments

Is it safe and suitable for tall or tight jobs?

WORX built multiple guards into the design—an upper safety guard, base plate, and hand guard—to help protect the operator while cutting. Its light weight and slim profile make it easy to handle in confined spaces, and it can convert to a pole saw with compatible attachments for extended reach.

• Triple safety features reduce chain exposure and enhance control
• Weighs approximately 3 lbs (with battery) for comfortable one-handed use
• Works with extension/pole attachments (sold separately on some models) to reach up to 9 feet

How does battery compatibility and runtime compare?

This unit runs on the WORX Power Share ecosystem, so any compatible 20V battery (sold separately) fits—letting you swap packs across 140+ WORX tools. Compared with the prior generation, it delivers up to 60% longer runtime and faster cutting for common pruning tasks.

• Power Share compatibility across WORX 20V, 40V, and 80V lines
• Up to 60% longer runtime versus the previous model
• Faster cutting speed to reduce job time

Who is this for: The WORX 20V 5" Cordless Pruning Saw is aimed at homeowners, gardeners, and property caretakers who want a portable, powerful cutting tool without the bulk of a gas chainsaw. It fits users who value low maintenance, quick setup, and compatibility with a broader battery platform—ideal for trimming branches, pruning shrubs, delimbing small logs, and working in tight or elevated spaces.
