Nitro 20V 5" Cordless Brushless Chainsaw 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger Included WG325

Since mid-2023, I have gone overboard on cordless mini saws in my hobby of slaying buckthorn, honeysuckle, and other invasive brush/trees. I first purchased the Stihl GTA26, then the Worx WG324 5" saw, and finally this model - the WG325 - which is by far the best of the three. I still love Stihl gas saws, but the Worx WG325 easily beats the Stihl GTA26 4" saw by offering more power, MUCH better battery life, a longer bar, equally high reliability, and overall much better value. Case in point - I get 3x more cuts from a Worx 2Ah 20V battery that costs 66% less than the Stihl AS2 battery. While you won't be able to fell trees larger than 9" diameter, in many ways, a mini saw is more useful than a gas saw for small jobs because it easily tucks into a backpack or sling bag, can be taken just about anywhere, and is quick & quiet to deploy. It's great for girdling larger trees too. Worx makes few claims of water resistance on their gear, however my saw and a 4Ah battery recently survived being 2/3 submerged in marsh water for 30 minutes when it accidentally fell out of my bag. The motor was partially submerged while the battery was inundated. I was amazed that both components survived after being drained, opened, and thoroughly dried for a couple days. Obviously, DO NOT take this as proof the saw and battery are waterproof or assume you will have a similar outcome! However, I do think it points to the high quality to value ratio offered by Worx. Worth noting - Worx puts Samsung18650 batteries in their OEM packs - not the short-lived 3rd rate cells found in off-brand replacements & super cheap no-name brands. IMO, it's worth it to with OEM for spare batteries! Compared to the WG324, the chain speed is faster to full speed, seems to have an integrated brake which stops the chain in a split second of trigger release, and cuts modestly faster. The grip is also thinner, which makes it much more ergonomic for medium and smaller hand sizes. Here are the faults I have noticed 1) the oiler leaks if it is filled to capacity with standard bar oil. Use a viscous mix and do not fill it more than halfway. Definitely do not fill it with low viscosity vegetable oil. 2) The chain becomes loose-ish after use and the bar cover does not maintain tension well, though the bar itself has always been securely held and the chain rarely loosens to the point of jumping. Re-tightening is a quick fix and not a major problem in practice. The bar and chain still hold better than on the older WG324, where both came dislodged if using too much force while cutting. 3) I don't love the ergonomics of the safety button - consistently pushing it has given me a callous on the side of my thumb. An up/down lever-style safety would be easier to engage. Unlikely to be a problem for most folks. All in all, I'd rate this saw a 4.75/5. It's a phenomenal tool that should be in the bag of every landowner and land steward whenever there is potential to cut small diameter brush & trees. Just don't forget the stump herbicide!

This is a great small chain saw. Used throughout the summer chopping branches on trees and shrubs. Took down trees and trimmed crape myrtle trees. It is easy to use. Auto oil is nice and lasted all summer. Saw is nimble enough to reach tight spaces. Battery lasts long enough to finish projects and recharges well.

God of Gardening is armed with a WORX 5 inch pruning chain saw . Easy to use and I use almost daily during summer. Indestructible and well made. Holds charge and runs a long time. Lightweight for older female. My fav gardening equipment I’ve ever owned .

I'm very pleased with this mini chainsaw. It's a significant improvement over the WG324 model, with more power, faster chain speed, better build quality, and lighter weight. It handles easily with one hand, and does an excellent job of trimming limbs, cutting up limbs for disposal/pickup, and even as a rough carpentry saw for landscaping timbers and the like. No, you won't be felling trees with this, but for clean-up work it's a champ. The chain is easy to remove for cleaning, and it's equally easy to put back on and re-tension. The automatic oiler works well, but as with most small chain saws, the oil reservoir is prone to leaking. It's important to store the tool horizontally to prevent having an oily mess. The battery life, even with the supplied 2Ah pack, is pretty good. But, if you plan on extensive continuous use, it's best to have a spare pack or get a 4 Ah pack (Worx also has an 8Ah pack but that's quite expensive). A well-designed, well-made, and solid performing trimmer/mini chainsaw. 5 stars

This is a decent mini-chainsaw. It’s compact, lightweight, and packs plenty of power. It has good battery life and cuts on the up (lift safety guard) and down stroke. However, it does have some issues with the oiling system. The cap for the oil reservoir is a poor design. I had it come open several times during use. I don’t understand why Worx didn’t just go with a simple screw on cap. I don’t use the automatic lubrication system. Several Amazon reviews mentioned that the Worx Nitro Chainsaw leaks bar and chain oil. Having experienced the same issue with my Worx WG305 14-inch chainsaw, I opted to manually oil using a Black and Decker Genuine OEM Replacement Oil Bottle – 90524942. I like Worx tools, but most do not come without any carry case or bag. I store my Worx Nitro Chainsaw in a Kudroid Open Top Tool Tote, Wide Mouth Open Power & Hand Tools Bags Organizer purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQBQ55LX/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While there are several cheaper mini-chainsaws on Amazon, I recommend Worx due to overall quality, dependability, and excellent customer support.

Very small, and perfect for clearing up big branches after we had a windstorm. Light enough for me to handle safely with one hand while holding the rest of the branch. No gas to make this saw heavy, no leftover gas in the saw to get stale and gummy, no electric cord to get under my feet. The chain gets oiled automatically.

Took me a while to figure out the oiling and chain tensioning, but once I got the hang of it, this little beast worked well! By working it around the circumference, I've bucked 8-10" limbs. Cleaned up a huge mess on my back properties where someone had dumped a bunch of large tree limbs. Battery lasts a nice long while too. Very happy with this purchase

One of the best tool purchases I have made in 20 years!! Finally found a tool that I could use to trim many large Crepe Myrtles among with many other uses!!! I can safely use a 20+ foot ladder to trim with ONE HAND while securing holding on to the ladder with the other, turning an all day job into a three hour one. Listing other uses would take forever! What a priceless tool!!

Pour une petite scie sa fonctionne très bien j ai couper une branche de 5 pouces facilement et quelque autre et tu n'a pas le bras fatigué parce que elle est léger

We got this to prune two of our trees. This saved us a ton of effort and time. It's easy to use and works really well. We are so happy we got it. It's worth every penny.

NO TRAE PILA INCLUIDA

Excellent product

Reçu et essayé pendant deux jours. Avec une batterie j’ai été en mesure de faire plusieurs branches d’une assez bonne grosseurs. Je suis étonnée de sa puissance et de la durée, je recommande assurément!
