Greenworks 20232 16-Inch 12-Amp Corded Chainsaw Review

Greenworks 20232 is electric corded chainsaw with 12-amp motor that does ~8,500 RPM at no-load. Greenworks 20232 is equipped with 16-inch bar and chain with pitch of 3/8″ (9.5 mm) and gauge of 0.05″ (1.3 mm).

Cutting performance

Cutting performance is adequate for the price. Greenworks 20232 is more appropriate for lighter duty jobs. It can handle more serious jobs too but it will cut a lot longer than more expensive and powerful gas chainsaws.
