Tell us what you think of battery chainsaws! Would you buy one?
I won't go back to gas
@@entoletaoas a first buyer who wants to cut some branches third time a week (not a big work just cur branches so that they can get in the car without being to big. Something like 100kg of wood)
@@entoletaowould you still recommend me an electric for that usage? Stihl ms 170 was the gas one I'll buy if I'm not buying an electric. But still undecided
I have the new model now for 3 years and it also leaks bar oil, great review
Two big differences that the saw is not the same is the chain and bar size. The older version has a .43 size chain the new one has a .50 size, so the new chain is heavier even though it is still a 14” and 52 link chain. That being the case the the bar is a different size also. These chainsaws will not interchange bar and chain now safely. Please make note of this !
Just purchased the new model after a 5 day power outage from an ice storm. 1 word…AMAZING!
I’m glad Ryobi improves their designs, however I wish they did a better job getting things right the first time. I find that they fix frustrations, but I can’t justify upgrading my tools that often if I’ve purchased an early model of a tool.
Thank you. This Ryobi is on my “ candidates” list.
Another great video guys!!!!
Have the newer model. Perfect trimming saw that's ready when I need it.
I really like the new model 40503. Was using it with the 5ah battery most of the day clearing storm debris from the Iowa Derecho.
I bought this saw with Charger & Battery ( No Case ) at Home Depot off one of their clearance end caps for $199.00 and should have bought 2 or 3.
I bought it 2 weeks before Hurricane IAN came through and broke off a very large limb off a very large tree.
I almost returned that saw having thoughts I could use that $199.00 somewhere else better.
When I forgot where I put My gas saw I needed to cut that limb up so I used it, and now I can't return it.
Don't want to return it now.
I cut that limb down to size as if I was use=ing a gas powered chainsaw .
So I cut off another huge limb that was 40 feet long and growing parallel to the ground.
I didn't cut it completely through but over halfway and got down and stood back and watch it for about 5 minutes and noticed it was getting lower as I watched.
It slowly lowered itself to the ground till it stopped.
I climbed back up and finished cutting from the top and it fell completely to the ground.
That was limb number 2 and I cut it up and moved the debris.
It took Me over a week to cutdown the 7 major limbs and 8 foot of one of the main trunks.
I did all the cutting with this Ryobi 40 volt 14 inch bar Chainsaw.
I'm 68 years old and retired so getting down safely was more important than getting it down fast.
I tell anyone that will listen this story because its true.
This the ONLY Ryobi 40 volt tool I own and it is a GREAT SAW..
Ken in Florida
Yeah we were surprised as well on how well it cuts. It’s a great saw. Thanks for sharing your story
I got the new model (14") today, can't wait to use it. Need to get larger battery (6AH) for bigger jobs.
I have the newer model and like it. However, the chain would often come off while cutting. I contacted Ryobi and they sent me a new adjustment kit - screw, plate, oil seal, adjustment knob. Unfortunately I didn't pay close enough attention to the parts I took out and there's a small 1/2" square piece of plastic that I can't figure out where it goes. I'm pretty sure it goes where the 2 gears join but I can't figure out the direction it goes. Guess I'll keep looking at videos. I think it's a great saw, and for my minimal needs it's perfect. I like it much better than a gas model because I always have trouble starting tools that have a gas motor, including trimmers. I also found a Ryobi 40 Volt blower at an outlet store in Pigeon Forge, TN that was normally $119. I got it for $55 new, and it uses the same battery my chain saw does.
Just bought the new model,have yet to use it on our property,weight comparison to a gas chainsaw (compared in store) seem to be about the same.when I purchased it I got the 2ah 🔋....and different store the 6ah 🔋....so we will see!
I have both of these saw. You’re right the new one is a much better
Does anyone know if the base (motor) is the same as the 18" version? I mean, could you just buy this on and put a 18" or 16" bar on it?
Interesting video, Is the chain / blade suppose to lock ON or is it momentary? Thanks
The main reason for Ryobi to redesign the battery compartment was the necessity to accommodate the new high amp batteries that are physically larger and will not fit the older one (6ah and more), why didn’t you mention this in your video?
Biggest issue for me with the older model which I have The slot for the battery. I cannot fit a new 4AH battery in that slot or a 6AH just the older 4AH so will need to get the other one once my older battery fails. Any ideas on what to do.
I have the 10 inch battery saw and the cord for the charger will not fit in the hole on the top of the charger?
Plus you can fit larger amp hour batteries in the new one
i picked up 2 newish Ry40502s but they did'nt come with batteries or a charger what is the max size battery i can use.
does anybody know where i can find a carving bar for this saw ?
Bought the newer 14" and thought it was fantastic until I realized it didn't have a chain brake. Since my number one goal in using a chain saw is not getting hit in the neck or face with a moving chain I returned it and got the new 16" that has a brake. Unfortunate as I actually liked the 14" much more except for the deal breaker on the safety side.
Will the bar for the RY40502 fit the RY40503
I have the newer 40v, and the older but green 18v chainsaws.
My opinion
The 40v is great, BUT. The ramp up time is what KILLS the battery life. I get alot farther on my 18v with a 3ah, over the 40v with the 4ah.
Slow and steady seems to win every time for me.
On a side note. It took 2 returns to HD to exchange my first 2 40v saws. Each one, the oilers wouldnt put out. My 3rd one im stuck with, leaks while sitting for a day or 2
We haven’t tried the 18v chainsaw yet but that’s what we have heard. Thanks for the comment
I know you just did this comparison a few months ago, but do you have any plans to review the new 16” 40v chainsaw (RY40550)? They’ve replaced the plastic notch/hooks on the front with metal and added a manual chain break.
The only thing I saw that might be a negative based on your reviews is they moved to opening for the chain bar oil back to the side, but the display window to see how full it is is still the same larger size as it is on the RY40503.
I just bought the 14” saw today, but for $50 more I think I’m going to return it and get the 16” for the extra cutting length and couple improved features.
I just returned my 14" after an hours use and paid the extra $50 to get the 16" which has a chain brake.
great video but when look at Home depot the model they have is RY40530 is that similar to one of these. it has the side battery configuration.
The RY40503 is the "new" saw he's talking about in the video. The "old" saw is the RY40502.
Same actual 14" chainsaw. The difference is what is or is not included in the box.
RY40503BTL is just the 14" 40V chainsaw, listing at $149.00.
RY40530 is the same 14" 40V chainsaw plus one (1) 4AH 40V battery (OP4040A1) and one (1) 2-in-1 battery / USB charger (OP403A), listing at $199.00.
I think the 40530 is the "Kit" ( the 40503 with Battery and charger) is called the "530"
witch batterys SOB "S WANT ME TO BUY A NEW BATTERY TO FIX AS THEY CHANGED THE 40V SIZE
OLD SAW WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW BATTERYS@@genesouth9517
oil leakage is a pain, too much on the blade! gummy sawdust under the cover! I stopped filling it due to the puddle! so I only put in a little at a time now. why suddenly? didn't used to leak oil before so I figured it was a leak in the reservoir.... got another but it looks like I'll have to dismantle the whole thing. can you do a video on that Please!
My older model (36v European version) on the contrary has underpowered oiler or some problem with it, chain and bar get too hot while cutting. And I see there are many oil-related complains about both models
Does it leak
ry405010btl vs ry40503btl what’s the difference shows same specs on Home Depot. But a whole $50 difference
ONLY THING I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT THEY ADD AND INSERT THAT ALLOWS U TO USE IT BOTH WITN A CORD AND ALSO WITH YOUR BATTERY SO THAT WAY IF U HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF YOU THEN YOU CAN USE THE CORD OPTION IF YOU JUS HAVE A FEW TREES 🌲 TO CUT THEN JUS SLIDE THE BATTERY IN NOW THAT WOULD BE DOPE THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE THE OPTION TO USE THE BATTERY OR THE CORD 💯😎
Absolutely genius and if it charged it while plugged in.
Stew Bryan answered my question. I wish you had stated the chain size and bar differences. I just ordered 5 chains that supposedly won’t work. Disappointed.
Leaks chain oil like a sieve !!!
Just used my new 40503 for 3 hours (not non-stop) and only used half of the 4Ah battery...loved it! Do the two models use the same chain? I can't find one specifically for the 40503 and this seems to be a great deal on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BNHT1BC/ref=crt_ewc_title_srh_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1SIYON3TRIXF3
I also can't find the chain for the 503, seeing as this comment is 6 months old I'm losing hope.
Agreed. I just ordered this one - the specs are the same so I hope it works! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HB81BNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The worst thing about these models are parts are not available any more.
Stop saying "blade"!
The largest version of this new generation of saw, the RY40508/RY40580, DOES have a chain brake. But they moved the oil tank fill back to the side, like the old generation.
Battery doesn't do more than maybe 6 cuts through a 6 inch log.
Don't you mean the RY40530???
Great question! RY40530 is the kit that comes with the saw, battery, and charger. The saw itself, is RY40503.
I thought the whole point was to have o ne battery 18 v durrrr

OLD SAW WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW BATTERYS WILLNOT FIT
I HATE auto oilers. They never feed enough oil in use and when done they simply drip out where you store them. Much prefer to push a button to oil.
my ego works great
Get familiar with the correct names of the parts when doing reviews. Those "metal forks" are called DOGS. 6:18 mark.
Why do you call the chain a blade? It’s a chainsaw not a bladesaw 🙄
OH JESUS CHRIST !!! Some of you people are really rediculous with your F comments ! REALLY ?
@@PickinPins
Well sir when someone is doing a tool review and doesn’t know the proper names of the components of the tool they are reviewing that person loses all credibility with me.
@@rjd8434 you KNEW what he meant though didn’t he ! Hahah
@@PickinPins
Well of course I did. Just like I know what you mean in the improper sentences that you attempt to put together. In other words you lose all credibility too.
@@rjd8434 I don’t even know you so I don’t care if I lose credibility with you, you are no one to me. Lol. You Putz. Haha
Ryobi is ripping off Americans making cheap products and charging more $ for the batteries to thes units that the whole unit it self.
meh...

If you are going to make videos, learn the difference between "then" and "than".
