SKIL PWR CORE 40V 18-Inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw, Battery Powered with Auto-Lubricating Chain, Electric Chainsaw with Tool-Less Chain Tensioning, 6.0Ah Battery and Charger Included ,CS1800C-15

I'm so glad I got this. I swore I'd never buy a big gas chainsaw, sticking only with my little handheld and corded electric pole saw. This is so easy to handle and it does a great job cutting the downed limbs to size. It's built very well and is a joy to use.

The chaisaw serves my needs perfectly. It's primary use is cutting up and clearing limbs downed by storms on our residential property. I purchased a spare battery after reading other reviews. That proved to be a good decision as some more extensive cleanups may deplete one battery before completion.

This is a great chainsaw! It is lightweight and so easy to handle. The battery is powerful enough to cut a 6” log and lasts for about an hour. The recharge time is quick which makes it easy to get back to work. It's so much easier to use than my gas saw!

This saw is extremely handy I put it in the back of my UTV and use it to cut smaller logs and limbs that have fallen on the roads around my property.I do own a couple of large gas chainsaws for big jobs, but I love the convenience of this light and powerful 40v battery powered saw. I also have the skil pole saw, and the batteries are interchangeable.

Good power, well balanced saw, kit comes with a 2.5 amp hr battery and charger. You're going to want another battery. Good value at the price point. The only negative is the blade tension system, easy to use but a standard 2 bolt system would keep the bar tighter.

I like this chain saw very much so far. It's got plenty of power and the battery lasts quite a while. The chain bar is a bit shorter than I expected but the saw is light weight and easy to use. The instructions in the manual are not especially clear or well illustrated. Work on fleshing them out. All in all I would buy it again. A good value.

The battery lasts only about 30 minutes before I need to recharge it. I can't find a spare battery or two at a reasonable price. Otherwise it is very convenient not needing to mix gas and oil. And it starts immediately no need to pull a cord to get it started.

The nicest thing about this chainsaw is that you pull a trigger. No pulling a cord over and over again, or adjusting the fuel ratio. Super easy! The drawback is that the battery doesnt last as long as you would like and it shuts down in the middle of a cut. The PWRCORE 40 2.5 AH battery is just not powerful enough. I went with a smaller model because i needed a saw for smaller jobs. The PWRCORE 40 6 AH battery is available with the 18" saw, which I thought would be too big for my smaller applications. I wish that this model could use the bigger battery. Also, DO NOT let the chain cover loosen up. It's just tightening a plastic knob, so make sure that you are constantly making sure that its tight. Overall i am pleased with this purchase and would but it again. I have just about every item in the SKIL PWRCORE 40 outdoor equipment line and am satisfied with my conversion from gas powered.

I bought the 40V chainsaw because it was on sale and have not had a chance to use it yet. I expect it to perform like other 40V chainsaws. I wish there was a carrying case option to purchase and not sure why one is not offered. It would be a lot easier to transport with a carrying case.

Saw cuts through wood like a hot knife going through butter. Battery dies after 15 to 20 mins of work, then you have to wait for the battery to cool down so that you can put it in the charger (which takes about an hour to charge). So, work for 15-20 mins, then wait 1 1/2 hours to work again for 15-20 mins...over and over and over...
