Ryobi One+ 18V HP 6” 15cm Brushless Pruning Saw R18XPCS10 - Tool Only

I bought this awesome little chainsaw last weekend. I have been waiting for it since Christmas. I was about to spend more than double this price to buy the Milwaukee tool & battery kit because every review said it was the best, but when I baulked at the price, the dude at Bunnings told me about this little beauty from Ryobi and that it was on the way. As I have other 18v ONE+ batteries, I thought I'd wait. I had a Stihl GTA 26 previously - another great saw and I was looking for something I could use (cautiously) one handed. This Ryobi 6" pruning chainsaw fit the bill nicely. I used if for the first time yesterday and was very impressed how smoothly and easily it cut though branches up to 75 - 80 mm. It will handle bigger logs easily. Not so good on small bendy ... MoreI bought this awesome little chainsaw last weekend. I have been waiting for it since Christmas. I was about to spend more than double this price to buy the Milwaukee tool & battery kit because every review said it was the best, but when I baulked at the price, the dude at Bunnings told me about this little beauty from Ryobi and that it was on the way. As I have other 18v ONE+ batteries, I thought I'd wait. I had a Stihl GTA 26 previously - another great saw and I was looking for something I could use (cautiously) one handed. This Ryobi 6" pruning chainsaw fit the bill nicely. I used if for the first time yesterday and was very impressed how smoothly and easily it cut though branches up to 75 - 80 mm. It will handle bigger logs easily. Not so good on small bendy twigs as it jumps around and one-handed operation is dangerous as with any saw (The Ryobi 18v Secateurs work very well on those). The design and ergonomics of this saw have been very well thought out, making it easy and very satisfying to use - It just feels right in the hand. The chain tensioning is very simple and well designed. It does not have automatic oiling, but given the leaks I have with every other automatic oiling chainsaw, I rather prefer to do it manually on this small bar before and after each use - it only take seconds - somewhat less time than I've spent cleaning up the leaks from other saws. Time will tell how durable and reliable it is, but given my ever growing range of Ryobi tools, it was good to be able to get just the right tool that operates on the 18v ONE+ platform and buying it from Bunnings gives you great confidence if anything goes wrong. I used it for about 15 minutes on a 4 ah battery and still had 75% left in the battery. A pleasure to use and I'm looking around for more things to cut with it. So pleased I didn't spend the extra $ on the Milwaukee and with the 6" cutting bar, The Ryobi saw has more cutting capacity than the Milwaukee (4.5") and the Stilhl (4") and in my opinion provides very good competition to these more expensive high end alternatives. If you are already on the Ryobi ONE+ platform - this sensational little chainsaw is a no-brainer.

This is an excellent tool, I have a lot of chainsaws from petrol to electric, they are all too heavy for my wife to use trimming small trees and bushes. This according to my wife is the best tool yet as good at cutting and very light.

Amazing tool, much better than my OPS 18 Garden pruning saw. Cuts branches easily, lightweight, easy one handed operation (the other one for holding to the ladder). Will recommend this tool to anyone.
