Mikes product review wg324e pruning saw: can it slice through a 7 inch log!?

- so the undecided 12cm / 5 inch pruning saw....
this is basicly a baby chainsaw on steroids, it has more than enough torque to chew through even the hardest limbs, keep the cuts sensible and she will sign all day long (so long as your batteries can keep up) im sure most will only be trimming small branches and twigs but i thought i might find out and push it to its limits.... 7 inch log should do the trick! **Spoiler alert**: it cuts it with ease and cleanly too.
I think its size is deceiving and will probably catch a few unwary people out so I will say this now - treat it like a real chainsaw and you will still have a full set of 10 fingers and thumbs!
another fantastic little tool to have in you arsenal of worx tools!
I bought two. I use one for opening trails when out in my Bronco 4 wheeling. The other for around the yard pruning limbs and cutting logs as big as 12" round. GREAT little saw. I have a large MIlwaukee e-saw for lumber. Why use a big heavy saw when all you need is this little jewel. The only down side is no bar n chain oiler. So make sure you bring oil with you, any oil will do.
Have you checked out my latest video on the new wg325? :-) think you might like it :-) it's like the wg324 has popped a few steroids and now features autolube too! :-)
very nice upload,,, i purchased this worx chaisaw from amazon, got it today.... you explained it very well, kept it simple...👍👍👍
Thanks for showing how to do the basic oiling and tensioning. Gives me confidence to use the thing. The cryptic directions that came with this pruner are not helpful. This is the type of video explainers Worx should be doing to show how to use its products instead of relying on poor paper illustrations and terse word directions. The videos I see from the company are just promos. I already bought the product….I want to know how to start using it. Thanks again for your good work and willingness to do this video.
Many thanks, in this modern world of multilingual and universal marketing I understand why manufacturers want simple easy to digest instruction manuals (remember the days of detailed bibles with products written in 30 different languages!?) Most worx pamphlet manuals are made using the simplistic "ikea" style system but I do find it sometimes lacks important details, yes there are extensive written does and dont's but if important stuff is hidden in there it might be overlooked and not adhered to, I Try and keep my videos comprehensive and factual, less opinionated more - this is what it CAN do make up your own mind if it's suitable for YOUR task and needs, only essential safety and maintaince is covered but I will lean in a bit heavy if it is more safety focused / your tool will not last 2 seconds without this. :-) such as oiling your chain :-) happy worxing and look forward to your future viewership.
Agree!
@@mikesptworld Agreed - thanks for this level of detail
That's insane!! Can't believe it managed that!!
I thought I had a faulty piece until you showed that little screw on the side, thank you sir!
Just got mine and love it! Amazing power and long battery life,I was looking at the Stihl model but the battery let's it down,as too small and dies very quickly,worx is 10/10!,cheaper too!
You should see the 12m/s brushless wg325..... made for the clinically insane who like to cut 2 branches off in under 1 second..... a true muscle flex from worx showing what they can do :-)
Thanks Mike that tip on how to get my stuck saw worked perfectly my husband woke up and helped me with your instructions on how to do this what seemed impossible feat. It turns out the tension on me worx pruning saw is loose I will read up on how to fix it but thanks so much you are now my go to guy for how to properly use this thing.
Great you got it out, try looking up a 'step cut' you cut half way under first then back towards the tree on top but about 1 inch before the under cut...... I recently done a LANTRA tree cutting course and learnt all about the different cuts and methods, I will post a tutorial video in due course, hopefully everyone can learn how to safely take down trees without any bad side affects.
No auto oiler is a deal breaker for me...seems like a lot of hassle to carry around a little bottle of oil...
Can anybody tell me how often do I need lo lubricate the chain? The manual is no very clear or very good at all.
Far better info than that which came with saw. TY
Thanks for showing the chain tensioning and how to oil the chain. all the other videos skipped that step. Earned you a sub! But when you were outside I could hardly hear anything you said - you were whispering?
Haha! I'm slightly hard of hearing and am aware that sometimes I shout (as I can't hear myself) I'm hoping to get a shure external microphone in the coming weeks to better the audio quality of my videos, I am now recording in either 4k 60fps or 8k 28fps to ensure you guys the general public get the best possible experience.
Glad to see a review on this! Seen it on Amazon and been wondering what it's like.
It's no replacement for a full size chainsaw and lacks the autolube so you know one day you will forget this and the first thing to remind you will probably be a burning smell along with that 'whoops' moment! Other than that it is faultless really.
Well that can be considered as over the limit test,
love if i could get on how long one single battery could go...
and the machine itself could continuously working before it get hot and auto over heat stop.
Limit test are always the best one for evaluating machine like this when there are a lot of competitors available out there.
best regards.
I will conduct this test and find out..... in fact I could actually do this for ALL my worx tools..... I have made a special rig to test power consumption so could easily find the maximum current draw of any tool and either make calculations and then prove in real life, I also have a laser thermometer as well as probe testers too so this coukd also be viable material for both retrospective and future videos.
@@mikesptworld wow that's gonna very helpful to manny, i cant wait to see that because im planning to buy few of Worx's tools series with the battery platform.
(im sub to your channel for not gonna missed it).
Thanks Mike, been wondering if it’s a good safe start for carving and this video gives me a bit of confidence to give it a try
If I can use it safely, anyone can :-P and I still have all 10 digits!! Though I am currently in negotiations with my local saw Mill to get hold of a giant slice of wood for the wg385e!!
Hi Mike I forgot to mention that when my husband helped me get my work 20 volt running saw out the cain fell off my husband mentioned he believes the tension was not right and seeing how the tool belongs to me I need to learn how to properly put the chain back on and also learn to adjust the tension do you have a video to show me how to properly do this. P.s. I'm sure he could do it if he wanted to but I do agree I have my tools he has his and it's my jod to know how to use my tools properly. Mr Mike you are the best. Thank you Amada J.
I was taking off branches and the saw got stuck on a tree my pruning saw is a word 20 volt cordless how do I get it out I don't feel like dealing with my husband's comments.
Not good :-/ OK the reason it's stuck is because you cut underneath.... anyway the solution is to take weight off of it, I assume you tried taking off a big limb / branch? So you Need to prop the weight off of the bit you were trying to chop off, it's like a pair of pliers let go and take the weight off and they release, you need to take the weight off and the saw will be released :-)
Great review, thanks. Can you also tell the model of workbench that holds the log while you are cutting?
Workbench is a worx jaw horse wx060 with 1 ton of clamping force it is a force to be reconed with.
@@mikesptworld mtx for response.
Czy są jakieś Filmy YT o naprawie tych pił? Are there any YT videos about repairing these saws?
What do you need repairing? Have you tried worx customer service?
@@mikesptworld battery charged, can't turn on. The saw did little work
worx is my favorite toy company
I always refer to my tools as toys :-D
Как подтянуть цепь?
To tighten the chain simply take a flat blade screwdriver and tighten the adjustment screw at the front next to the chain bar.
2:39 is where the tension bit starts.
It starts at 6:40
Can uou take the hand guard off
Yes you can remove the handle :-) you are not the first to ask this - can't say I really reccomend it but you can if needed.
Does the wood debris jam inside of it? I bought a Chinese one that works ok. But the chain gets jammed from the cut debris and I have to disassemble to clean it out. I use it to give a smooth shave on my sago palms. Maybe it's what I'm cutting causing the jam? I like this one. Debating to buy it and have an extra.
I dare say if you attempt cutting something slightly silly and damp or sappy like conifer then you will get an expected result, in my use I have cut seasoned redwood, oak and maple with very impressive results, I woukd reccomend oiling the chain after every log cut due to the lack of autocue, it is a pruner and I honestly don't think worx ever envisioned some idiot like me attempting to slice through a 7 inch log with a 5 inch bar! Lol though it proves it can more than pull its weight.
@@mikesptworld Thank you for the info. I want to buy one right now, but they're out of stock! I'll keep trying.
Well worth the wait in my opinion, chains were available recently again, I managed to bag one before they went out of stock :-)
Wg nitro tiene que se un poco mejor la verdad va muy bien tengo una❤❤
Yes the nitro is a bit better, mainly on run time, but the wg324 is no slouch when it comes to cutting speed or ability.
What size chain does it take?
Chain Gauge 1.1 "
Chain Pitch 0.25 "
No. of Drive Links 28
Weirdest size possibly going but spares are readily available from worx uk.
Is the hand guard detachable in any manner? Thanks.
Detachable no, in any manner..... well if by any manner you mean can you take a cutting device to it with no ill affects other than compromising the safety of the machine and potential structural integrity then sure but I personally don't condone that sort of thing but each to their own :-)
@@mikesptworld I thought it had screws there. Thanks!
I will go have a look in a sec and get back to you, I can see the screws you mean but don't think it reveals a handle less option. :-)
When I'm wrong I admit it though I can firmly see why it's there, if you get kick back and loose your grip it's goodbye to two fingers! On good day, 👍🏻 3x 3mm H3 head m3 alen bolts from 30-70mm length and the handle comes off in two parts I really don't reccomend this though!! It's there for your safety. But I'm just a guy in a UA-cam video :-P maybe some chain mail gloves??
@@mikesptworld Thank you very much!!! I will buy it! Without the guard it seems to be more slender. Don't worry, I just wanted to know that for its use with a pole.
Thanks again!
Отличная вещь для дачи !
Many thanks :-) yes it is very nice cutting any sort of brush, brambles, and small sapplings as well as some bigger thicker stuff too.
Сегодня начал клинить двигатель. Работает 5 секунд и останавливается. Проработал ровно 2 дня после покупки.
Всё, разобрался. Заработало) Просто надо было ослабить цепь!
You should have approximately 3mm or 1/8th of an inch slack in the chain from the middle of the bar, remember to oil the chain too ;-)
Ok. That’s impressive
Cool demo! I expected that there would be classical sawing of branches 1-3 centimeters thick. WORX makes a good tool, for example, the STIHL GTA 26 has definitely less power. The lack of a lubrication system is disappointing. Also, they don't sell wg324e cheaply. Therefore, I looked at having a larger chain and lubrication system.
Many thanks, yeah I thought I would try a larger log as it is unlikely that anyone would buy it with the intention of wanting to cut a 7 inch diameter log but proving it is more than capable of this means it will go through normal branches with ease! I would have to say it really needs fresh lube after every cut in reality, this is annoying but you can't take away the fact it can more than take care of itself when pushed to the limit! I might try and do a short on a 10 inch log just to show its mightyness 🤔 though I think sawing a reclaimed oak railway sleeper may be more challenging? :-)
I got this baby on QVC for $100 - got lucky
It’s a pruning saw not for cutting trees
Yes maybe but cutting through a 1 inch twig isn't as much fun really and doesn't show its true capability, I'm sure someone will buy it expecting a 5 inch bar to cut a 12 inch log it's a consumer thing!!
Muy buena máquina
de hecho, es una máquina extremadamente capaz y bien merece una consideración al pensar en comprar una pequeña sierra de podar.
Do adults know your outside with that
I have my wife knowing what I'm doing just incase I have an accident and carry a wireless doorbell ringer just incase things go a little bit wrong!!
@@mikesptworld LOL
Thanks for great review plus I gave you 1 like for being a dude.
jack black lmao
Thank you.... there is no charge for awesomeness :-D
А по русски нельзя
in Russian my friend, nothing is impossible :-)
