This product will run for varying lengths of time depending on the battery used. The runtimes are as follows: I managed to use it to cut up wood that was around 50cm in diameter. These were trunks that I previously used a petrol chainsaw for – although the Ryobi was a little slower, the end result was just as good. That said, don’t assume that this is a slow machine – its cutting speed is 10 m/s, which is faster than most of the other cordless chainsaws out there. The only faster one that I tested was the Makita. As mentioned, the tool-less chain tensioning is a big plus, although all of the six cordless chainsaws that I tested have been designed with this feature. Just like the others, this one also has a claw stop, as well as ergonomic handles to improve the user experience. Assembling a cordless chainsaw isn’t too difficult, even if you’ve never used a chainsaw before. This Ryobi cordless chainsaw can be put together without any tools needed at all, which makes the process so simple.

To start with, I took the panel from the side of the chainsaw off by unwinding the plastic screw. It’s pretty tight, but that’s not a bad thing – you won’t need to worry about the cover falling off!
