cordless chainsaw

[Mike(NEOhio)]

I've been seeing an ad on FB for a Lito hand-held Chain Saw Pro. Looks like it would be handy but maybe junk. Has anybody here tried one? Foreign manufacture, who knows where, and the website has some really lame testimonials.

I talk to the guy it the store that iv known for 40 years at the hardware store that fix and sells stihl shop about them battery ones on he told me that alot of people get mad at them because you need to run them dead for like 5 times after charger to get the battery to last a long time. Iv been thinking of getting one iv see good reviews on them.

jd man wis,

It depends of the battery type, Lithium-ion battery SHOULD NOT be totally discharged. The good ones have a cutoff voltage to make sure of that.

They very seldom come up to full capacity after a total discharge event,

Mike(NEOhio),

I just had a 40 volt one here for repair. It surprised me HOW it worked. I would get a 40volt one. AS the voltage rating goes up, so does the amount of cells in series. It only takes one cell to fail to stop the toll from working.

I think that for small limbs 4 to 6 inches it would do just fine.
If you get one, take a drill bit and see what size file you need, and also measure the rake. They are not the standard chains you can get anywhere. Those specs may be in the owners manual, it was not in the manual I had here for repairs,

The battery says 88v but I think it's more like 8.8

I have several chain saws, including a sweet 14 Stihl, but for limbing and trimming I have been using my DeWalt cordless sawzall with pruning blades, which are VERY sharp. When I go up in the Genie lift, I take 4 batteries, and by the time I use all 4, I'm ready for a break, but much lighter and handier than a chainsaw

I only buy a cordless tool that uses today's popular size battery. 20v.

Before you buy anything thing that uses a voltage more than 20v, please research the replacement cost of the battery.

Post back what you find.

Never heard of a Lito chainsaw. I purchased a 20V litium ion "Worx" chainsaw to use when I didn't want to drag out my big gas powered saw. The little saw really surprised me. I had a lot of tree blow down stuff due to high winds here. Some of the stuff was around four inches. That little surprised me with it's power and how long the battery lasts.

I was so happy with it that I also purchased the Jaw Saw from Worx.

This also a Black and Decker 20v pole saw.

Bare Dewalt chainsaw saw cost me $100.

I've got a 120 volt 16 inch Remington that I like real well. I've got an older 6000w generator in my trailer. An inverter generator would be real nice.

Mike(NEOhio),

I just looked at the link. THAT IS A TOY!!
Like I said get a 40 Volts rated one, with it usually a 14 bar.

Lots of things play into that other that voltage. For instance the Harbor Freight 40v is less than 1/2 the cost of a DeWalt 20v premium battery. And, the HF seems to work really well.

The one that intrigues me is the DeWalt 20/60v flex series, but at 220 buck my curiosity will remain unsatisfied.

I have the 40 volt Lynx from HF. It was so handy I bought the string trimmer. It is perfect for fence work.

 

[rlp in Co.]

They are making 60 volt batteries now? That's getting close to lethal voltage.

Ive got a Greenworks 40 Volt Cordless chainsaw AND IT WORKS GREAT, Im very happy with it and its battery performance.

It looks like they mounted the chains backwards for the promo shots.

I bought a 56 volt EGO electric chainsaw at Home Depot. The battery will last 45 min which is about all the longer I can. I was able to buy Oregon chain for it. You will want a sharp chain to save on cutting time. The chain speed isnt as fast as a gas saw but will do a good job of cutting. On feature I like is it turns off when you let go of the trigger

Kencombs; I have one of the DeWalt saws and I'm very pleads with it. It has a 16 bar & a 60V battery. It is heaver than I would like but I will keep it

Kobalt has 80v tools. The battery contact are back in slots that would be very difficult to contact without some serious intentional effort. Welders are 80v.

Kobalt has had an 80 volt string trimmer and mower for several years - at least 5.

 

[GordoSD]

HAppy with my 40 volt Ryobi that uses same batts as the trimmer and leaf blower.
