Could this Budget friendly chain saw possibly have as much power as a 40cc 2-cycle saw?? Follow along with me and let's see just how much power this really has!

Skil's original PWRCore 40 has been available for about 3 years. It uses a 14-inch bar and a low-profile, thin-gauge (0.043 inch) chain. But chain speed is low--I think about 34 feet per second. I think this new, 18-inch model uses a beefier chain (0.050-inch-gauge). The 18's chain will spin much faster. The 14-inch model reached only 1500 watts with a 5AH battery. The 18 delivers 1900 watts. I wonder how it stacks up against Greenworks' most serious sub-60V chainsaws: a 14-inch 2x24V (1900 watts), a 16-inch 40V with 4AH battery (1800W), and an 18-inch 40V with an 8AH battery (2000W). On all three of these Greenworks saws, the bar is secured by a pair of captive bolts. Lesser Greenworks chainsaws have thumbscrew tensioning, slower chain speeds, plastic spikes, and nonmechanical (electronic) chain brakes.

@thefrankperspective4247 3 ай бұрын

@@ProjectsForAllReviews seems like it. 40V, cuts like a hot knife through butter. Did all the bamboo and oak overhanging my roof, and the battery meter didn’t move. 14” is also easier to manipulate for overhead stuff.

Having worked for a Power company contracted Tree service and owning a DeWalt 20v chainsaw I'm not sure if battery Chainsaws are ready to compete with Gas especially 2 stroke! (If you have one) That Skil is built very similar to DeWalt (AKA Black & Decker) my concern is all the plastic parts that if they break could make it even more dangerous than a Chainsaw already is by design. Always wear chainsaw chaps it could save your Life. Only takes one slip and a half second to cut an artery.

A very solid tip! I appreciate you sharing and I agree with you completely. As these plastic saws get older with years of use I too wonder how they will hold up structurally. Inspecting for cracks and loose hardware molded in should be a priority for all of us. I have many big trees on this property that need to come down and this saw is going to see some pro level use. I will probably revisit this one soon. (With more protective gear as well) Thanks for watching!!

Excellent tip. I used to cut firewood for a living. I once slipped and shredded my pants leg and cut up my boot. No blood, though. It only takes a second to change your live forever!

Currently, battery saws cannot meet the needs of the industry. They are expensive and prone to catastrophic failure. The batteries routinely crap out. Meanwhile, well made gas saws are up to the task daily. Stihl is announcing some new breakthrough in battery technology. Hint: it is going to be very expensive. By the way, global warming is a hoax.

C'mon man, cut something wider, use the full lenght of this chain. I was thinking about buying the 14 inch one 'cause here in Poland you can get it in kit with two 5Ah batteries but seeing this beast with a brick-of-a-battery I think I'm gonna wait 😁

Pushing my luck has been a reoccurring theme my whole life! From table saws to motorcycles and cars I’m usually one small step from total disaster. When it comes to chainsaws however I’m cool not getting too crazy! Stay safe John and thanks for watching!

Actually I forgot to sound test this one for the vid. I reduce the volume of all cutting tools in editing to make the video less annoying. This saw no load in the garage came in at 97.1 db max. Probably the loudest tool we’ve tested so far. Sorry and thanks for watching!

@radinsyah1574 3 ай бұрын

@@ProjectsForAllReviews is it louder than a gasoline fueled chainsaw though? Or as loud?

@w9jim 3 ай бұрын

Seems nice. A long time ago, when I lived in Idaho, I cut and delivered firewood for a living. I can't imagine a battery powered saw keeping up with that demand, though - unless you have a boat load of batteries. Sure is a lot quieter, though! That yellow wood, is that a Locust tree? We had those back in Maryland where I grew up. Same color.

@ProjectsForAllReviews 3 ай бұрын

We were wondering what kind of tree that was actually. Locust is probably the best guess so far. It is very yellow. This saws going to get some heavy use coming up. There are many trees that need to come down. It runs at about 97 db free wheeling in the garage. Not quiet at all. I lower the volume in editing to make the vids less annoying. Thanks for watching!

@@ProjectsForAllReviews I thought that maybe it was an Osage Orange tree. But regarding the saw, I have a different brand electric chain saw that has replaced my gas powered one--I love it.

Someone else mentioned Osage Orange but I doubt it. We’re just west of Chicago and not in Texas. Although it would explain why it’s half dead. 😂 thanks for watching Christine!

Is that tree with the dark yellow heartwood Osage Orange? Didn’t think it grew in Illinois.

My brother in law and I were trying to figure out what it was yesterday. After some googling it’s definitely possible with that crazy yellow color! We’ve only lived here a month and don’t know if it grew any fruit. Was hoping someone would know.

@RyanWattersRyanWatters 3 ай бұрын

@@ProjectsForAllReviews if it is Osage Orange (Bois d’arc), you’re looking at a Janka hardness twice that of white oak, which would make this little chainsaw even more impressive. Wow.

As usual you guys are way ahead of me. I always forget to do something….Just ran it in the garage no load and it’s 97.1 max. Doesn’t seem that loud in use! We’re going to do the pole saw and a bunch of pruners soon so maybe I ll toss it in with those. Thanks for the reminder Magius!!

I resisted the electric tools for years but there’s no denying they are pretty awesome. Gas tools will likely hold on for years to come but for the vast majority of us homeowners, electric is the ticket. Thanks for watching Tunasoda!!
