GreenWorks 20032 13 Amp 18" Corded Chain Saw Review

Several massive oak limbs fell next to my home and a shed and were much too big to clear with just a 30" hand saw. I hate gas-powered chain saws. My old 14 inch Stihl gas chain saw has been sitting idle in my closet for decades (literally) after only a little use. It is underpowered, noisy, and always extremely difficult to start even when it was new. The oak limbs were too close to the buildings leaving no room for the swing of a 4 foot long hand crosscut logging saw. A new, inexpensive electric chain saw seemed the ideal solution with electric power being close at hand.

I considered three 18" electric chain saw models and decided on the Greenworks 20032. The Greenworks 20032 18-Inch 13 Amp Electric Chain Saw is in the same class as the Poulan Pro 400E 18-Inch 4 hp Electric Chain Saw and the Craftsman 34118 4 hp 18" Electric Chain Saw and uses the same Oregon 18S62041 18" Intenz bar and Oregon S62 18" 91 Low Profile Semi Chisel chain. The Poulan Pro requires a screwdriver to adjust chain tension. The Craftsman and the Greenworks saws need no tools for adjustments. All these saws are made in China. The Greenworks saw has a 4 year warranty as opposed to the 1 year warranties offered by Poulan and Craftsman. The 4 year warranty plus toolless operation was the deal-maker favoring the Greenworks saw. By the way, both the Poulan and Greenworks instruction manuals can be downloaded from their respective websites so you can check out their features first before buying.

In choosing an electric chain saw I totally ignored the bogus and fraudulent "peak horsepower" ratings the electric chain saw makers use to deceive buyers. The only thing that matters is the amps the saw uses at 120 volts. 13 amps x 120 volts equals 1560 watts x 0.00134102209 hp/watt equals 2.1 horsepower. That's all the usable horsepower you get from the Greenworks, Poulan, or Craftsman electric chain saws. A peak of 4 horsepower might exist for a fraction of a second based on the instantaneous current draw as the electric motor starts up. But this is totally meaningless with regard to the actual cutting power of the saw. The Federal Trade Commission should come down hard on these saw companies for using this deceptive advertising practice.

The case of the Greenworks saw is made of nylon and there is a strong burning nylon odor when the chain saw is first started. Its construction is okay but the chain cover does not fit flush with the case, the translucent bar lubricant oil reservoir level indicator is not quite flush with the case, the "Greenworks" label on the brake handle was peeling off new out of the box. A hook in the handle serves as a "cord hitch" to hold in place a loop of the extention cord inserted through an opening in the underside of the handle, but it does not effectively hold the extention cord in place. The loop keeps slipping off the hook. The instruction manual is also unclear on how to retain the extention cord with a bad diagram and incorrect instructions that state "Insert loop portion of extension cord through the opening in the side of the rear handle, and place over cord hitch." The opening is in the UNDERSIDE of the handle, NOT the side. The manual also lacks a diagram illustrating the flat filing of the chain depth gauges (rakers) during sharpening.

On the job, the Greenworks saw zipped through the oak branches less than 10 inches in diameter with little effort, but began to bog down as the diameter increased to 14 inches of heavy, dense, damp green oak. The job was spread over several days, and I resharpened the chain before the start of each day's work. I soon found that the bogging down could be eliminated by stopping and resharpening the chain every time it began to bog down. A tip for you, always keep your chain sharp. The saw should perform much better on drier and softer woods with even greater diameters. The wet, dense oak was an extreme test and challenge for the saw. Overall, I was happy and satisfied with the saw's performance once I learned to keep the chain sharp. Also bar lubricant usage didn't seem too excessive. The several day job used about 2 1/2 quarts of bar and chain lubricant. I bought a gallon size of the lubricant, which costs about ten to twelve dollars at a discount hardware store. You will need a funnel to avoid a mess pouring the oil into the saw reservoir

The Greenworks saw felt balanced, comfortable and safe to use. It operates much quieter than my circular power saw and is pleasantly quiet enough to use without ear protection. It has a safety switch lock released by a thumb button. The chain stops instantly and the switch lock engages the moment you release the power switch. A safety hand brake also stops the chain instantly. If the chain hangs up or is pinched by the log, the chain sprocket drive automatically slips to prevent the motor from overloading and burning up. These features make the Greenworks saw very intuitive and safe to use. A scabbard is included with the saw.

If you purchase this saw, you should also consider buying a spare Oregon S62 18" chain, a 5/32" (4 mm) diameter round file and holder, a .025" (.6 mm) depth gauge and depth gauge raker flat file, and a chain saw grease gun to lubricate the sprocket in the bar tip.

What to do when you need to cut a fallen tree in your driveway more than 100 feet from a power outlet and you can't afford or don't want a decent gas-powered chain saw? Why not go for a vintage USA made one man or two man crosscut hand logging saw? You can get them used from eBay or new from Crosscut Saw Co. in Seneca Falls, NY. You can get some smaller German made logging saws from Traditional Woodworker and Woodcraft. Fanno Saw Works in Chico, CA makes the No. 30 Fanno Bull Saw, a nice 30" lance toothed log saw great for smaller limbs and logs that I own and love. I just picked up several 42" and 48" blade vintage one man crosscut logging saws from eBay that I am restoring for my use. If a big oak tree falls across my road, I will be ready.
