Overview
A BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX cordless chainsaw with a 10 inch bar and 8 inch cut capacity, sold as tool only with no battery or charger. Aimed at homeowners handling pruning and storm cleanup rather than felling large trees.
- 10 inch bar with an 8 inch cut capacity
- Tool-free chain tensioning for quick adjustments
- Runs on Black+Decker's 20V MAX battery, not included
- Built-in oiling system lubricates the bar and chain
Who it's for
Suits a homeowner who already owns 20V MAX batteries and needs something for branches, storm limbs, and light pruning around the property. It is not a substitute for a gas saw on trunk work or clearing a lot.
Pros and cons
- Quieter than a gas chainsaw with no exhaust smell
- Tool-free chain tensioning speeds up adjustments
- Works with existing 20V MAX battery packs
- Handled a 12 inch trunk in reviewer's storm cleanup
Performance notes
Tool-free tensioning lets you adjust chain slack without extra tools, and a built-in oiling system lubricates the bar and chain during cuts. Power comes from a 20V MAX Lithium Ion battery, sold separately, and the 10 inch bar with 8 inch cut capacity is sized for branches and smaller trunks rather than wide timber.
