Testing the Worx JawSaw: Next-Gen Chainsaw?

[@ChrispyThings]

Let me know if you guys picked one of these unique chainsaws up and how well it worked for you. Also, do you have the extension handle? Comment below! *ALSO! I do fully understand the difference between volts and amp hours. The 4ah batt shouldn't have more power than the 2ah batt but it clearly does and you can see and hear it in this video. I purchased the 4ah battery after so many of you recommended it after my PowerShot video and claimed the same thing so I went in thinking it would have more power as well as lasting longer , and it did!

[@donsmith7354]

AH = Continuous Amp draw per hour. Unit draws 5amps. Continuous operation 2AH would be 2/5 of an hour. 4AH would be 4/5 of an hour. not necessarily more power will last twice as long.

[@loujeanadams2500]

Not sue but I may have commented on this before.. My husband passed away and the trimming of the shrubbery around my yard now falls to me. I have used it, but do not like to use his regular chainsaw on this smaller sized stuff as its bad to grab and kick with smaller branches. I got this thing last summer though and it does everything I need to do with no fear of it kicking back on me, or grabbing a branch/limb and smacking me with it. I can now trim my own shrubbery, and feel safe in doing so

[@lm1169x]

This video was very useful to me to see the jawsaw in action. Thanks for reviewing it. 👍

[@knp447]

I've had one for a few years. I haven't used mine in about a year and I brought it out last week to cut some small limbs, trees and brush at our new home. I checked the oil and the chain. Still works like a champ.

[@jilliegee1]

Can you tell me how much oil capacity this takes?

[@stevensteenwyk5836]

2Ah battery stands for 2 Amp-hours meaning it will deliver 2 amps of current for 1 hour or 1 ampere of current for 2 hours etc. Amp-hours time the voltage (20V in this case) is a rating of the total energy capacity of a battery, and does not affect the amount of power. A 4 Ah battery will just last twice as long but not cut with more power. The actual amps drawn depends on the motor design and is not in your control. As noted by another comment, the output power is determined by the voltage and is fixed by motor design. You can't use a higher voltage battery to get more power because 1) they don't make one that fits, 2) it would burn out the unit since it was designed for 20 V. The 4 Ah battery has about twice the weight since it holds twice the energy, like having a bigger gas tank on a car--same power, longer driving range. As to your comment that the 4 Ah battery seems more powerful, there may be two reasons. 1) Putting on a fresh 4 Ah battery may give slightly more power compared to a half empty 2 Ah battery that has just been removed. 2) The larger battery may have lower internal resistance. All batteries suffer a voltage drop internally when you draw significant current, meaning you get slightly less than the full 20 volts. Lower internal resistance typical in larger batteries means it can maintain closer to the full 20 volts when running that same current output.

[@acman131]

Thank you for your comment that was driving me crazy!

[@JonathanHallOverAllen]

I would get sad when I ran out of things to trim with that thing. Very innovative design.

[@CAMPFIRESKY]

My JAWSAW arrived, and I spent about 3 hours working with it. I did purchase the 4 amp battery and charger per your recommendation. I have to admit, it has surpassed my expectations. I have 2.5 acres that I need to blaze some trails through, and this is going to be the perfect tool. It's only been a couple of days, but so far, I am very pleased with my purchase. THANKS for the excellent video.

[@ChrispyThings]

I still use this tool. I love it. Thanks for watching!

[@monaerhardt6755]

This thing kicks ass. I'm a 115 pound, 55 year-old woman that does all the landscape maintenance on one acre in So Cal, and this little gem has cut my work in half (no pun intended, but what the hell). Soooooooo much faster, more efficient, and easier to bust out than the chain saw. Did all the brushing work on a 50 foot pine that fell over, untold amounts of pruning over the years, and just a half hour ago it assisted me in murdering and dismembering a horrible "Tree of Heaven" (Ailanthus altissima) - one of the most selfish and invasive trees ever to land around here (cutting's not enough, btw...need stump killer stuff too). Anyhoo. Hungry little beast of a landscape tool that is ultra safe to use, especially nice when my arms start to feel like cooked noodles after hours of work, and my tired brain gets prone to mistakes...love it. Can't take care of the acre without it.

[@monaerhardt6755]

Oh, and mine is corded.

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks for the comment!

[@ChrispyThings]

Mona Erhardt Have you thought about getting the battery operated one?

[@monaerhardt6755]

I have...but not impressed with battery life, in general, of outdoor equipment. I have a lot of extension cords, hehehehe...

[@terrybarck3879]

I have owned this saw for several years and have cut a LOT of trees and brush with this on our acreage. It is unbelievably effective. I use this way more often than my traditional gas chainsaw.

[@ChrispyThings]

[@Valkman007]

I have the drill, the leaf blower, the edger/grass trimmer, and the Jawsaw. I use at least 3 of them every week. I have 3 2A batteries and they seem to really last, even after 4 years old. If they ever go bad and will not charge, I wil go for the 4A batteries.

[@gotskinn]

I have had a jawsaw for about a year. I LOVE IT! My husband even uses it over his chainsaw at times.

Thanks for the review. I am about to order it now

[@Funkgun]

Helpful man. got one after watching. Nice little rig. I got the extender pole one. Yeah, I burned through my battery, but it was a lot of backyard work to go.

[@shanehayes6048]

Dude, I appreciate your video, and it confirms for me that I'm going to buy one. Not trying to be critical, but hoping to protect your credibility, it's a 2Ah or 4Ah battery. Both are rated for the same amperage output, the 4Ah battery has twice as many batteries, and should last twice as long.

[@ChrispyThings]

Shane Hayes Right. I did correct myself later in the video. For some reason I had 5 amp battery in my head after working with Dewalt tools earlier. And the 4 amp batt definitely had more power than the 2.

[@ChrispyThings]

I understand what you’re saying that the 4 amped shouldn’t have more power. But it definitely did. I also used it with the Worx Powershot with similar results.

[@Pro1er]

The reason the 4Ah seems to have more power is because when the tool's motor is under load it is drawing current which lowers the battery's voltage - more voltage, more RPM. The higher capacity 4Ah battery can supply more current than the 2Ah so the voltage drop is not as much allowing the tool's motor to run faster. If the Jawsaw's current drain was 100mA, you would not notice a difference in battery performance other than run-time .

[@ChrispyThings]

Pro1er Great explanation. I’m definitely not an expert at battery technology but that makes sense.

[@davidmaldonado6792]

6.0 Ah 20V battery is the best. I speak for myself. Just try it and you'll see how long it last. Worx products are reliable and works great.

[@ChrispyThings]

Just what’s in this video. I’d say get it. I still own this and works great

[@mosipd]

Unfortunately, like any recycled Chinese plastic garbage it just won't hold up. Take the cover off and you'll see what I mean. They're novel and work great for the first 6 months or so, but after modeerate use the sliding mechanism broke down. I opened it up to see if I could fix it, and to my (not so) surprise the sintered metal bushing in the plastic sliding guide fell apart.

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks for your comment. It seems there are mixed reviews to the quality of this product. I some people say it's lasted them years with regular use, then there are those like yourself where it fell apart. I'm curious to see how mine holds up.

[@claricekitchen1613]

So you are saying the 2 and 4 batteries are interchangeable in the worx equipment?. The benefit is more power, longer power or both? I wasn't quite understanding. I have the jaw Saw still in the box but am now anxious to try it out. Thank you!!

[@ChrispyThings]

Yes I have 20v 2 amp and 20v 4 amp batteries and they work with all of the Worx PowerShare gear. It gives you longer battery life with the 4 amp but not necessarily power. But some claim to get more power with the higher amp batteries. Not sure how but they do.

[@Gamebit450]

You have a 2 amp hr battery and a 4 amp hr battery has nothing to do with the power it's the volts that describes the power. Think of volts as your engine and amp-hours as your gas tank.

[@ChrispyThings]

Sqausht Suspension Oh I get that. But as I commented to other people here in the comment section is that everyone kept saying the 4 amp battery felt like it had more power, and it definitely did. One person even describes why it felt that way. But thanks for your comment!

[@Gamebit450]

I guess my description was a fully charged 2 ah 20 volt battery and a fully charged 4 ah 20 volt battery , I was not taking into account going from a discharged batteries performance to a fully charged batteries performance. My bad...

[@ChrispyThings]

Sqausht Suspension Not a problem at all. I appreciate the comment

The Amps on the battery are telling you how long it will last i.e. double the time of a 2 Amp hour battery. Its not delivering any more amps to the tool at any given time.

[@mlprice9975]

Have had mine since its inception. It also came with an extension pole for higher cuts. This guy made it look hard and time consuming. I'm still trying to figure out why he was chopping tiny pieces at a time for the ground break down. (Actually, that's my favorite part. I just walk the length of the downed branch, quickly cutting off side branches first, then turn around, walk back, chopping up main branch. Bundle the side branches and chop away.) I'm a 65 year old female, I will tell you this makes cutting faster plus cleanup is sweet. This video could have taken 1/2 the time. Coincidentally I will be using mine today to clear back the overflow from neighbors unattended whatever it is. Try it, have fun!!

[@ChrispyThings]

Why did I make it look hard? I thought I was making it look easy. And I used small branches because that’s what I had in my back yard. Some were as thick as the jaw saw could handle though so I’m a little confused at your comment.
