- I've wanted a small electric chainsaw for a while now. I've looked at a few different ones, but I couldn't decide. I came across this one at Lowe's and decided to give it a try.

I just bought an electric chainsaw from Walmart. 40 watt Hart. $180. It’s awesome. Then I built a tool box onto my Grizzly ATV and now I tote it around my five acres Whenever I see a tree needs trimming or a small tree needs to be taken down that electric chainsaw is PERFECT to have around.
I love my Kobalt Pole Chainsaw - 80-volt - 5-AH battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Pole Chainsaw. No electric cord. I've been using Oregon Bars and Chains. I have been using it for more than 3 years now. It works great on my southeast Louisiana farm clearing property that a hurricane went through and trashed all the trees throughout the woods of our 18-acre farm. I carry it all over in our woods and the battery lasts a long time. Today I'll be cutting a 6-inch limb off of a tree out front. I am also using (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and using (2) 5 AH Batteries. Cuts huge logs great. The chainsaw first chainsaw wound up in a puddle and stopped working but after a couple of weeks and it had dried out, it started working again. For oil, I like to use Ryobi Bar and chain oil. We have cut 20"+_ logs and works like a charm. And NO more pulling and pulling to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021
So glad to finally find a video on this. I just got this chainsaw 2 days ago and am going to try it out today.
This thing is awesome can cut at 6am nobody will complain. Just try the Stihl bar oil thicker and sticky and not one leak from the oiler so far very nice Kobalt.
Well done video.
Just bought this saw on sale for $129, adding to my Kobalt 24V collection (which is growing). Overall very happy with all of the tools.
Thank you for this! I was struggling with assembly bc my tension bar needed to be adjusted! I had been unsuccessful for 30 minutes until this video! 🖤🖤🖤💪🏼💪🏼

Awesome video review! Great demonstration and showcase of all the features. I didnt know what the safety stop was so thanks for showing it. I think this is the very first review of this chainsaw on UA-cam- ive been waiting a while to see someone post it!
I’m shopping for one of these now and yours is the first vid I have watched! Thank you for the great info and demonstration!! 🙌🏻🇺🇸👍👍👍
Thank you for a great how to video. I am a recent widow and using a Kobalt cordless chainsaw for the first time ever along with mowing my own lawn now. You make it look simple. Wish me luck!
Just bought one these and couldn't figure out how to tighten the chain. Thank you for your step by step instruction!
I needed guidance and your video was there for me. Thanks! Just purchased this same model for light work. Much easier for me than getting out the Big Dawg gas saw. I was having issues getting the saw chain tension right. This helped more than the printed instructions for me. Again, thank you. Saw on!
This got me on my way. Thank you for the crash course.
Just bought this model of the Kobalt chainsaw. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Great instructional video. I appreciate that you took time to explain the chain-tensioning knob operation and showed close-up shots. I like that you explain which direction the saw chain sits on the guide bar. For the first time user like me, these points made a huge difference. I've watched videos that rushed through these steps, which was not helpful at all. Great instructional video!
Just bought the Kobalt 24 Volt Chainsaw and your video helped me get it ready to clean up from a fallen limb...Thanks.
Excellent video. This is my first chainsaw and you explained everything perfectly.
Thanks Big Daddy. just got the Kobalt 24 Volt Chainsaw. going to try it out tomorrow in the back yard.
Good informative video. Looks like a great tool. I think using the 6 amp hour battery with it would be a good choice.
I like the Kobalt 24 volt battery lineup of tools. I'd starting to get a pretty good size collection of them. I like the idea of almost all of the Kobalt cordless line uses the same battery.

Almost gave up assembling the chain and tensioner. You're video helped me
Thank you! I am a female using my chain saw for first time - you really helped!
THANK YOU!!! You provided the little hint I needed to figure out how to attach the bar and chain onto my new Kobalt 40V chainsaw, which uses the same mechanism for attaching bar & chain as this one - complete with the little twiddly wheel thingy. The user manual tells you nothing about how to assemble the saw and make it ready for use - but your video, specifically the bit about positioning the tensioning peg (08:20-30-ish) told me what I needed to be able to put the saw together and run it. It was the tensioning peg that was preventing me from assembling the thing correctly because, out of the box, you need to move it to the correct position so that you can lock bar & chain into place. You're an angel.
This is really helpful. I tossed the user manual after I'd assembled the chainsaw, yet before the battery was charged. And didn't know about the safety break. That tip at 7:40 solved the mini mystery for me. Thanks for making these videos!
I couldn't get the damn thing to turn on either. You bookmarking it resolved it. Thanks
Thanks for this. I was afraid to pull the trigger until I saw this. I love all my other Kobalt tools.
I actually just bought the dewalt 20v 16” 3 days ago. I had no idea if a 20v saw would get it done but I’m pretty happy with it.
And I laughed at “Tom bunion”, I think it’s Paul lol
I may have misspoke... Tom Sawyer, Paul Bunyan... Tom Bunyan it is....
Greg Brooks Do u work for DeWalt ? I seen u make this same comment on the skil chainsaw video and on another video I lost track of
Thinking about picking this one up today. Thanks for the review!
Great job, your video helped greatly in understanding the alignment of the saw blades and tightening know. Thank you!
Nice video, very informative. I'll be buying one today! Thanks Jo!
Thank you I bought the Kobalt weed eater and this chain saw. I’m happy with both. Thanks for the tutorial, my chain saw came with the lock mechanism on, so the chain was not rotating. Whew! I almost took it back to Lowe’s. I subscribed, maybe I’ll buy the impact driver next .
Thank you so much! My first chainsaw.. Your explanation and cadence were spot on!.. I’m ready!!
Thank you very much jo daddy! The written instructions were unclear about what was the cutting edge of the chain. You explained that very clearly & now my chain saw is operational and cutting thru wood like a hot knife thru butter.
I am very appreciative!
The instruction book was completely useless on how to assemble the saw & which direction to install the chain. That's gonna affect my review.
Thanks for the video! Just got this chainsaw and couldn't figure out how to install the bar and chain. Watched your video and it was so easy@
Love all my kobalt tools! So underrated. Thanks for the video!!
I'm so glad you made this video! I just bought this chainsaw to do some small cutting work around my house. I never owned a chainsaw before and was clueless on how to put the chain on and operate it. Your video was so easy to follow!!! I couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you so much!!!
That 1/4 inch hole that goes all the way through the bar is not for oil. It is for hanging the bar on the wall. There is a much smaller hole nearer the tip to inject grease and lubricate the nose sprocket. It requires a small inexpensive grease gun. The chain shares it's oil with the bar groove.
Kobalt tools are literally the best tools for the price. There is not other complete brushless brand for the quality and price of kobalt.
I couldn't agree more. Solid tools, great power, and excellent prices!
I’m a dewalt guy yet i just bought a cobalt drill because all I’ve ever had was impacts for automotive use but i had a oil pan bolt that needed a helicoil so i bought the kobalt because I’ve always wanted one I’ve been impressed soo far
100% agree. I got tired of paying more for a 4 or 5 AH Makita battery than I could get a Kobalt tool for. Once the XTR line came out, I made the change and now my shop is Kobalt blue!
Hercules enters
*ITS JOHN CENAAA*
@@ayowheredeeway hercules ain't got nothing on Kobalt
Thank you so much l just got my self one of this chainsaw at my local Lowe's and this video came pretty handy for me. Now know how to put it together 🙂
Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to put it together for over an hour now. The tension adjusting pin had me confused.
Thank for the video, I was about to take it back to Lowes cause I thought something was wrong with it, lol I can show off my wife all the skills I have putting this thing together lol thanks a lot.
I just bought this chainsaw. Just think, Assembly Instructions were not included. Wonder why? A big book of Safety precautions but NO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS for something as critical as how to put the chain on the bar.
That's going to be reflected in my review of this product!!
It's a good thing you made this video.
Great video!! Excellent walk through...👍
❤😂😂😂😂😂❤
That was excellent demonstration of such a great little handy chainsaw to have around the house or even on the job. Thank you very much for doing such a great job demonstrating how to put it together. How a tightened chain and on the field demonstration? I thought that was fantastic you're one of the best reviewers. I've seen on youtube keep up the good work
Just got one yesterday got to cut down this tree that's cracked not a lot of work but that's why I got this as well looks pretty good can't wait to try it
Great video, that small hole is actually for grease. I use the oregon grease from lowes, handy pump dispenser.
I purchased the blower(120MPH) first and recently bought this chainsaw, they both work great. The blower came with a charger and two 24V batteries and the chainsaw came with a charger and one 24V battery. Being that they both use the same battery it is a huge bonus. The are light and easy to use.
Great video. You made this so simple. Thank you for this video
Just picked this up, great video thanks
Very helpful video. I'm thinking of getting one and own several other of these 24max tools.
I bought 1 & it's junk. Wouldn't cut on, then it did. Kept shutting off even without being in wood. I wanted to love this little as backup to my Stihl top handle saw. I'm taking it back to Lowes tomorrow.
Your video helped me with my problem with my chainsaw thank you😎👍
Great video for the novice chainsaw owner/purchaser. Your inside tips help a bunch!! I agree with one of the other comments, Lowe's needs to direct people searching for help in assebleming this saw to your videos.
I'm glad. I watched this video. I didn't realize that I had the brake on! I was ready to take this back to the store!
Your comment had me going to check my brake. And yes mine was on. Problem solved. 😀
Thank you for the instructions on putting on the chain. Didn’t show that in instruction booklet
Great Video Brother! I am buying this tomorrow.
Thanks for all the good info.
Thanks for making this brother! I was struggling a little getting the chain on! Thanks for the tips!!! #kobalt
Thank you! The manual is not well organized and your video got me going. Great tutorial.
Great video. At least you didn’t take out the power lines like your neighbor did.
lol
Great job. Very helpful
Awesome video..thanks for the chain direction part of the video..yup, I have done it wrong,for 24 volts…vs Dewalt prices..might work for me..
Nice tool, you sold us!
Kobalt tools are awesome, i got a weedeater and impact wrench and both are beasts, hell the weed eater is almost as strong as my gas trimmer. Getting more tools soon.
This was so helpful. 👍🏻😊
Oh and you are an excellent teacher.
Great video sir.
I just washed my hands because of your video. Thanks! lol Seriously, great video.
Awesome video it helped me a lot thank you very much that's awesome
Good review. I’m just getting the break on all these electric chain saws.
This would be perfect to take camping.
Pretty nice, very practic
Great review tank you.
Nice job on this video
Just bought this saw at Lowe’s. The chain hangs on it and i can get it to tighten up. Tomorrow is another day.
Did you figure it out?
very informative thank you
That's just about the same weight as my husky t435 which my son is constantly hounding me to let him use I think I'm gunna buy this to teach him to use a chain saw and I wouldn't have to yell over the engine to give him instruction
Thanks for the informative video. I just got my Kobalt chainsaw today and used you to make sure I put it together the right way. Thanks so much. Do you have a video about repairing a sliding kitchen drawer?
Sorry, I do not
So helpful thank you!
Nice job.
I got one in July 2020 for special price $159.00 great saw.
Thank you! So much!!!
Thank you, super helpful. Instructions from Kobalt were not super great.
Lowe’s has this on for $129 right now down from $179.
Mine is a monster!!!!!!! Love it
Thank you
I have close to 2K invested in my Stihl chain saws, $190 so my wife could have a pruning saw was cheap insurance…
Look at the silver tooths that is the guide. I just bought a 40v no tool to open to fix the chain saw.
You can use lithium batteries at any stage of their charge. They don't have a cyclic memory like the nickel-cadmium batteries did.
The reason lithium batteries are sent half charged is because that's the best state to store lithium batteries. You would think leaving it fully charged for storage would be best, but it's not. lol
Sorry I'm a battery nerd.
gonna be a usefull knowledge base in the coming years. OPE is going cordless electric at an ever increasing rate. 5 years ago you couldn't buy an electric riding mower, now there are several models from 3-4 different manufacturers. chainsaws, weed whackers, pole saws, hedge clippers, and blowers have all gone electric and prices keep dropping on electric walk behind mowers. even harbor fraught is in on that game with a mower now.
Don’t let them completely die. Good chance they will not recharge. Recharge them after an extended use.
Directions were not good for assembly,your video was great . Wathed this and put it together in 5 minutes.
The saw was struggling to cut. I had the chain facing the wrong way. Thank you
Is it still working great for you? I just purchased one from Lowes. I have firewood that is too large to get into my woodstove. I just didn't know what to do with the large pieces. I was looking at the Craftsman, but the Lowes associates said that a lot of people like the Kobalt.
Yes it is. Love this little saw.
@@jodaddysworkshop786 I love mine as well since it is low weight, but I think the oil is leaking, so I have to be careful, and look at it each time I use it. I read someone else had the same issue. Maybe that is common. I don't know.
I bought mine about 3 weeks ago. I was using it today and the chain slipped off. I'm a dumb dumb, I forgot about the tension, I didn't tighten it up.....
+1 for the music at the end
I needed another 4ah battery that cost 60 bucks. This thing was was on sale + I got a 10% discount, and it came to123 bucks, so I paid around $63 for a chainsaw I may never use, more than twice😐My neighbors tree limbs sometimes fall in our yard but, I'm I crazy?
Do you drain the bar oil after each use, and do you fill the reservoir all the way up to the line when you use it? I made the mistake of leaving the bar oil after I used it .. and it’s been non stop leaking. I guess I should probably drain it but do you reuse the oil? I’d hate to waste it. Do you just flip it over to drain? Can I add just a little bit instead of all the way full so I don’t have to drain so much at a time?
It shouldn't be leaking. You can drain and reuse though. Yes, you can add a little at a time. Just know it does get consumed with each use.
Thanks for the review. I'm considering purchasing one. BTW, is Tom Bunyan Paul's brother?
Yes he is!
Would engine oil be sufficient? Or does it have to be bar oil? What’s the difference if so. Thanks. Good video.
Engine oil is too thin. Bar oil is kinda thick and clings to the chain.
I have a 40v weed eater so I should get the 40v chainsaw just so I interchange the batteries
Wonder if you can put a bigger bar and chain on it?
I'm sure you could, but this is meant for more light duty stuff I believe. A bigger bar and chain would likely bog it down.
I've been struggling for over an hour to put the cover over the bar. (around 11:20 on your vid) You make it look easy but I can't figure it out.
....Ok, now 1 1/2 hours later I've tightened the cover. Is the chain supposed to be slightly slack? I can't adjust it to absolute tautness. Maybe it's supposed to be slightly slack?
Hope you figured it out. You should be able to eliminate most of the slack with the dial.
@@jodaddysworkshop786 Thanks. Would I be correct in saying that there should be about 1/3 inch pull on either side of the chain after tightening? i.e. not 100% tight.
So, where's the tool to assemble the chain saw?
How do you fix the washer from falling off the chain rotater
Washer?
We got the same saw a few days ago....we keep having a big problem putting the saw and cover on it
Did you figure it out?
@@jodaddysworkshop786 thanks to your video. We did....much appreciated Jo Daddy.... The instruction book is not very good at all ..but your vid is all we needed....it is very much appreciated..THANKYOU SO MUCH
