The 16-inch blade is enough length to fell trees and prep firewood.

As we stare down the end of summer, it’s time to start preparing for the mess of dead shrubs and fallen tree limbs that fall will bring. That means picking up an electric chainsaw, which can make light work of the debris in your yard. Amazon is offering 55 percent of this Greenworks 48-Volt, 16-Inch Electric Chainsaw, bringing the price down to $125 from $280.

An electric chainsaw like this has enough power to fell trees, dice fallen limbs, and prep firewood—with much less maintenance necessary than a gas-powered alternative. And an electric motor is much quieter, so you can work without disturbing your neighbors.

Greenworks’s 48-volt, 16-inch saw offers a high-efficiency brushless motor with a chain speed of up to 3,940 feet per minute, allowing you to cut through dense and large pieces of wood. It also runs on two 24-volt batteries (for the 48 total in the name), giving you more power and cutting efficiency—to the tune of 150 cuts per charge in 4 by 4 lumber, according to Greenworks.

The power and efficiency of Greenworks chainsaws are a big reason why we’ve praised them in the past. They also offer smart, easy-to-use designs. Take the auto-oiler feature on this one, which keeps the bar’s chain lubricated, and its electric start.

Your purchase comes with two 24-volt, 4.0 amp-hour batteries and a dual-port charger to juice both batteries simultaneously. You also get a scabbard to safely sheath the chainsaw’s blade when it’s not in use. The “PowerAll” batteries included with your purchase work with over 75 power tools in Greenworks’s lineup, so you can go from dicing up firewood to putting together a bookshelf with this drill-driver. The batteries, meanwhile, can also charge your mobile devices with the proper cord, when you need an extra bump for your phone in a pinch.
