Best Lightweight: Greenworks 6-Inch Pruner Chainsaw

We've selected the Greenworks 6-Inch Pruner Chainsaw as our top choice for lightweight chainsaws. This cordless, battery-powered tool weighs less than 4 pounds with the battery attached, making it incredibly easy to handle. It comes with a battery and charger, providing everything you need in one package. Its lightweight design makes it highly maneuverable, perfect for quick jobs around the yard or even inside your house.

This mini chainsaw is designed specifically for cutting tree branches, and that's exactly what I put it through during our testing. It effortlessly cut through branches of various sizes, producing clean cuts with ease. Even when tackling thicker branches, tilting the saw back and forth allowed me to achieve precise cuts every time.

What Do Customers Complain About?

However, there are some trade-offs to consider with this lightweight option. While it's great for small branches, its power may not match up to larger chainsaws. With a short 6-inch bar length, it's best suited for pruning rather than heavy-duty tasks.

Editor’s Verdict

If you prioritize lightweight convenience, this chainsaw is the perfect choice for you. In other words, it excels at cutting tree branches and pruning tasks. It's portable, budget-friendly, and gentle on your arms and hands. However, if you can handle a bit more weight, you might prefer upgrading to a more feature-rich battery-powered option.
