12" Electric Chainsaw Cordless, 20V Battery Powered Cordless Chain Saw, Chainsaw with 2 x 4.0Ah Lithium ion Battery and Charger for Wood Cutting, Tree Saw Trimming and Branch Pruning

The FXAFXA 12-inch cordless chainsaw provides battery-powered cutting performance for general yard tasks like trimming trees, pruning thick branches, and cutting logs. Driven by a 20V system with a 2.56 hp engine, it gives homeowners a portable cutting tool for routine property upkeep without needing gas or restrictive power cords.

At the center of this tool is a high-speed brushless motor reaching 12,000 RPM and delivering chain speeds up to 10 m/s. This combination allows the chain to power through thick wood without stalling during heavy cuts. Additionally, the body features a sawdust splash-minimizing design that helps keep debris under control for a cleaner workspace.

For power and runtime, the package includes two 4000mAh lithium-ion batteries along with a charger. Each battery includes built-in overload and temperature protection to guard the electronics. Maintenance is simplified by an automated oiling system with a 140 ml (0.15 qt) tank that continuously lubricates the chain, alongside a side dial for tool-less chain tensioning that reduces power consumption by up to 20%.

Operating safety is handled through a front hand guard that shields against flying debris and a double-button start sequence that requires engaging the lock button before the start button can trigger the motor. The main trade-off is the ongoing need to monitor and top off chain oil in the small reservoir, as well as holding the safety lock button for each startup sequence.

Verdict: This 12-inch saw is ideal for homeowners who want a manageable, cordless tool for cutting firewood and pruning trees. With two included 4.0Ah batteries and self-lubricating features, it offers an efficient setup for regular yard work.
