RYOBI 18v ONE+ Brushless Chainsaw Review - Should you buy? 

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

Good point about being complacent because it doesn't sound dangerous.

Great review mate, can tell you’re an honest bloke

Great review thanks man

A good and fair reveiw. I have it for 2 years now. One reason I've choosen the brand is the 12v charger (optionnal) that allow me to recharge easily with a 100w flexible solar pannel when I'm off grid (the panel is glued on top of the car)

Good review. Nice to see it in action!

Nice review. Thank you.

Great review thanks mate

Love your pros and cons mate

Brilliant review... wasn't sure until I watched this and went and got one!

Good review. I just bought one and im very happy with it! Uses it to clean up fallen trees over trails in the woods and it does the job. Ofc its not as good as a fuel one but this is much easier to carry and starts directly and no need to mess around with gasoline etc :)

Power Tools are the Adult Pokémon cards. You many not necessarily know how to use them… but, you must collect them all! Great review.

Great review of the chainsaw. I’ve had one of these four the past 3-4 years, its never mist a beat. I’ve other Ryobi tools and have 3 4 amp hour batteries, usually use 2 of them to cut enough firewood for a few days, agree you need to have a sharp chain reduce the power draw the batteries.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago I love mine its awesome for my needs!

I’ve had the 18v whipper snipper for over 3 years now and been pretty impressed by it. Now looking at collecting more Ryobi tools. Honestly didn’t expect it to last this long, impressive battery life too.

I recently bought the 10V saw, I love it. 2 big tree limbs came down in our yard, and I was able to remove them quick and easy. The battery sucks, but the tool works great!👏😁

just hit the buy now button. looking forward to seeing how it performs.

Nice presentation gonna check out the other videos you have

great video mate, Im going out to Bunnings tomorrow to get one and will now have to swap over my other tools top Ryobi from Ozito but worth it I guess.

They do make plenty of chainsaws that are comparable to small gas saws including some of the Ryobi 40V saws. I've had the one in your video for over three years now and I use it at least a few times a year for storm cleanup. The 9Ah battery would be a nice addition, and you definitely need to sharpen your chain plus maybe file the rakers (depth gauges), or just replace the chain altogether.

Great to see this video. Just bought one to take down branches and smaller trees around the backyard particularly palm trees. Have you got any videos comparing it with the 36V one or the 2300w AC powered ones?

Nice review. Nice fridge in the back of your car too.

Great review, I have to remove a very large evergreen and buying this tool is actually cheaper than hiring someone to do the job for me.

I was able to take advantage of a Bunnings deal about 18 months ago: four 4Ah batteries for the price of two. Another consideration for away-from-home use is that you can but a 12 volt fast charger for the One+ batteries.

Glad I watched this. Holy shit. Fuck that. That was sped up 5x. Gonna be there all week.

Interesting technique used, given you said that people run towards rather than away because it not so noisy! You need to treat a battery saw in exactly the same way as gas powered one.

Wrap some foam pipe insulation around it and hang it with soft rubber bands at an incline

I have a number of Ryobi tools. Over time i found aftermarket batteries and chargers to be much more reliable and cheaper than the genuine Ryobi brand. But the tools are great 👍🏻

Just order 68.00 thanks for the video

I chose this one for all the same reasons. I also live in a suburban apartment and go adventuring.

Good review and I'm going to buy one. Do you drain the oil when you're not using it, because I've never seen a chainsaw that doesn't leak oil. I have a Stihl petrol chainsaw that leaks oil and it's annoying. Thank you.

If you're like me where most of your other bits are Milwaukee, you can buy an adapter to go from Ryobi to Milwaukee for about £20, can use the big boy 12ah battery's then

Only problem I've found is that the chain has loosened after a couple of months and can't be completely tightened any more. I've had it sharpened once only. It seems that there's not enough range in the tightening mechanism after the chain stretches. It's still usable but not as tight as it should be unless I replace the chain. Only downside I've found, really. The tightening mechanism is a bit plasticky but it was not too expensive. Remains to be seen if replacement parts are available if those parts crack.

Does the bar oil leak? Do you need to empty the oil when storing and not in use? I take it you don't need to pump the oil the way you do with the brushed 10" version? thx

I have a silky saw that would cut small stuff about that fast. A touch slower maybe? Cost about the same as the battery though.

My Ryobi chainsaw is 14” blade and cuts way faster than yours, then again a sharp blade makes the difference. I love me some Ryobi tools…😎😁💯🇺🇸

The larger log you cut is more than recommended and it did it fine even though your chain needed a touch up so that says to me it does well. Fasted thing I have ever heard in a youtube video "I start my chainsaw and the kids come running" lmfao you may want to educate your children about what chainsaws do to flesh. Sit them down and watch Texas chainsaw massacre that outa do it lol. Thanks for sharing mate.

Hey mate, Is this the HP brushless version or the non HP model? And is the 5ah battery you are using just a standard battery or an HP? From what I could tell, neither were HP? Cheers

I have this chainsaw and have used it a lot for cutting wood for the woodburner. I bought some third party batteries that work excellently with the saw and the ryobi charger - I bought 2 Vanon 5.5AH batteries for a third of the price of 1 ryobi equivalent ie the ryobi batteries are about 6X over priced.

I got one from Bunnings last week and used it for the first time over the weekend.....and the chain slack tension is fully wound out already - the chain "stretched" to max in just under 1 hour. Is this normal or is it just a cheap chain bundled with the chainsaw?

To bad they discontinued this saw. I love mine so much that after a few years I upgraded to a 14 " bar and chain. It has enough power. My only concern is that it puts out too much oil and looks like it is leaking but it's only dripping excess. I found out that if you let it sit for awhile before putting it away it will stop.

Did you end up getting the 9ah? If so, what are you're thoughts on it?

Pop one of those 9.0 ah batteries in that puppy!

You mentioned there is a brake, does it work like a chain brake like on a traditional chain saw if you do manage to get kickback?

Привіт. Що на вашу думку краще Ryobi 18v or Greenworks 24v chainsaw?

My P5452 (motor with brushes) quit 6" cutting madrone.. Bought from Amazon 1 year ago, "3 year warranty" only good if bought from Home Depot. I'm out of luck there. Found that a motor brush broke.. Motor no longer available from Ryobi... Now a throw-away. Brushless better, I hope.

Good morning what oil do u recommend for this chain saw

Hi how do I sharpen the chain

I think you have sold me on this chainsaw

Not much faster/or maybe slower.... than a quality hand saw from Silky😃 was looking at buying one since I have 5 other 18V tools from Ryobi but maybe the 36V saw is the one to go for🤔

It's too small. They should've made an 18 incher using 2 of the 18v batteries.

Sharpen chain next time before doing video I could saw quicker with a handsaw

Can it cut through oak wood

If you smell fuel… you’ve got the wrong cans

18V Battery pack from their Weed Trimmers DO NOT FIT...

battery back pack :) I got 100's of cells, ryobi battery suck and the price is ridiculous for the quality crappy cells they provide.

Yup looks garbage cheers won't be buying a battery one ill stick with the ol 2 stroke

ryobi is garbage?.... CONFIRMED!

I bought this one. I like it. So much easier to use for long periods than the 2-stroke. What replacement chain should I buy?

Asi máš tupú reťaz. Pila sa trápila pri rezaní.

Is that the standard battery or the one that’s 30% more powerful?
