WORX Cordless Mini Chainsaw 20V 5" Pruning Saw (WG324) — One-Handed, Low-Vibration with 2.0Ah Battery

The WORX 20V 5" Cordless Mini Chainsaw (WG324) is a compact, one-handed electric pruning saw that delivers fast, low-vibration cuts for trimming, delimbing, and trail clearing with a Power Share battery.

This portable mini chainsaw combines a slim, balanced body with a high-efficiency motor so you can finish common yard and property tasks quickly without the fatigue of larger saws. At just 3.9 lbs with battery installed, the WG324 fits comfortably in one hand for overhead or awkward-angle work and shares the WORX Power Share battery with more than 140 tools. It includes a stored tensioning tool, bar and chain sheath, a 2.0Ah battery and a quick charger so you can start pruning right away.

How fast and smooth are the cuts?

The WG324 runs its high-efficiency motor at a chain speed of about 22 feet per second, which produces clean, consistent cuts through typical pruning material with limited kickback and vibration. That speed helps you move through limbs quickly while preserving control for detail work.

• 22 ft/s chain speed for efficient cutting
• Low-vibration design for steadier hands and less fatigue
• 5" bar and chain suited for 1–3" branches and small logs
• Stored tensioning tool for on-the-job chain adjustments

How long will the battery run on a single charge?

The included 20V 2.0Ah Power Share battery delivers extended runtime compared with older compact models, letting you make many cuts before swapping or recharging. WORX rates the unit to cut roughly 100 pieces of 2" wood per charge under typical conditions, enough for most pruning sessions and light clearing tasks.

• Compatible with 140+ Power Share tools for battery flexibility
• 2.0Ah battery included with fast charger in the box
• Estimated capacity to cut ~100 pieces of 2" wood per charge
• Swap in higher-capacity Power Share batteries for longer runtime

What safety and user-comfort features are built in?

Safety and ergonomics are prioritized with a retractable bar and chain guard, an upper hand guard, and a lock-out switch above the trigger to reduce accidental starts. An extra soft-grip handle and slim form factor help maintain control during extended use or when working at height.

• Retractable bar and chain guard for storage and transport
• Upper hand guard protects fingers during operation
• Trigger lock-out helps prevent unintended activation
• Secondary soft grip lowers hand strain for longer tasks

Can this replace a full-size chainsaw for yard work?

The WG324 is designed for pruning, limbing and light clearing rather than heavy felling. Its compact 5" bar excels on small-diameter branches, hedge trimming, and trail maintenance, but larger trunks and continuous heavy-duty cutting are better suited to full-size chainsaws.

• Ideal for 1–3" branches, pruning, and trail clearing
• Not intended for large-diameter felling or heavy industrial use
• Easy one-handed operation for tree-care and property upkeep
• Power Share compatibility lets you scale power needs with battery choice

Who is this for? The WORX 20V 5" Cordless Mini Chainsaw WG324 is aimed at homeowners, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a lightweight, safe, and portable electric pruning saw for routine yard maintenance, pruning at height, and cleanup work. If you need a nimble tool for trimming, delimbing, and clearing small branches without the bulk of a full-size gas chainsaw—or if you already own WORX Power Share batteries and want another compatible tool—this mini chainsaw is a practical, user-friendly choice.
