The Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 20-inch Chainsaw can make cuts up to 36 inches, which is enough for limbing, bucking, and felling. It’s a durable tool that uses an automatic oiler to conveniently keep the chain lubricated and is built with metal bucking spikes and an added mechanical chain brake to protect you from kickback. Plus, it has an ergonomic soft grip handle, onboard tool storage, and a simple tooled chain tensioning system.
Built with Ryobi’s high-performance 40-volt technology, the chainsaw delivers more power than a 50cc gas counterpart and can make over 100 cuts per charge. While Ryobi’s cordless tools are powerful and relatively long-lasting when compared to similar battery-operated products, a corded chainsaw or more powerful gas chainsaw will let you work for longer periods without having to pause.
If you’re going to spend a decent amount of money on a cordless chainsaw, you should be aware of that unavoidable downside. Ryobi’s 40V HP Brushless 20-inch Chainsaw is available for $379 from Home Depot, making it one of the most expensive individual tools offered by the brand. Usually, it costs an additional $100 to buy it with a compatible 8Ah battery and charger, but currently, you can purchase the entire kit for $399, which is a significant discount.
