Tied for fifth place on our list of eco-friendly electric chainsaws are the $329.99 Worx Nitro and the $293.99 Greenworks entries. Both chainsaws feature 40-volt operating systems with 4.0 amp-hour batteries and charging stations included.
Both chainsaws use brushless electric motors and come equipped with 16-inch guide bars featuring toolless saw chain tension adjustment. Their nearly identical saw chain dimensions include a 0.375-inch pitch with 0.043-inch thick guide lugs.
The battery charger included with the Worx Nitro chainsaw delivers about four amps of charging power, capable of topping off the 4.0 amp-hour battery in about an hour. The Greenworks chainsaw battery charger takes two hours to recharge a 4.0 amp-hour battery.
Greenworks provides a two-year warranty on the battery and up to four years on the chainsaw. Worx chainsaws are covered for five years, while the batteries get three-year warranty protection.
Of the two chainsaws, only the Greenworks chainsaw received a negative comment from Popular Mechanics about its “ineffective bumper spikes.” However, reviewers gave both chainsaws the nod for their long battery life.
