Chainsaws can seem intimidating to use, especially to those of a smaller build, but they are highly effective in tackling some of the bigger cutting tasks in the garden. Now, Greenworks - one of the UK’s leading brands of cordless gardening and power tools – has released a 24V battery-powered 10cm Brushless Pruning Saw / Mini Chainsaw. It provides an easy-to-handle alternative to large chainsaws and is perfect for safely and effectively cutting small tree limbs and branches, and pruning.

The new Greenworks Mini Chainsaw couldn’t be easier to use. It comes with a 10cm bar and chain, measures a compact 43.89 x 8 x 20.8cm, and weighs less than 2kg (about the weight of one standard brick), meaning it can be handled by anyone. Being a battery-powered device, there is no petrol and no cable to get in the way or restrict your movement around the garden. Furthermore, a simple push button is all it takes to get started.

Maintenance is also made very straightforward, with tool-less tensioning of the bar and chain, no carburettor, and no spark plug to clean.

It is not just ease of use that makes the Greenworks Mini Chainsaw an effective garden tool, but also its recommended retail price point of £99.00 (tool only) and its performance. The brushless motor provides double the torque, for more power, longer run-times, quiet operation and extended motor life. Furthermore, the battery is interchangeable with more than 30 Greenworks garden, power, and indoor products.
