5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased
I've grown to depend on this little saw and use it as much as my gas saw. It's important to use a (silver) One+ battery - else you'll have complaints like the other reviewers - but with the more powerful battery the saw has a surprisingly long run.

My 11 year old son works with me clearing our property and I'm contemplating buy a second one of these saws...

Anything thicker than a few inches, you might as well use a hand tree saw. This saw is good for quick cuts of small branches, but it just can't handle anything larger than that. It is what it is. For the price, it's hard to complain too much, but I was hoping for a touch more power.

It's light, it's quiet, it's safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars the little chainsaw that could, April 29, 2009
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
I have been quite pleased with this little tike. With the newer Ryobi bats this little saw can chew threw 10" trees. Granted that size tree does take a bit of time. Its performance is pretty amazing considering how small and lightweight it is. Anyway, as long as you know its limitations (this isn't a heavy duty tool) then I have no problem recommending this little saw for lightweight work.

Updated 08-04-2009: It turns out that I like this little saw so much that I ordered a second one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what I need it to do..., March 22, 2009
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
I have one corner of my property covered with heavy vines with bases that are easily 4-6 inches and rooted in really hard to get to areas. The chainsaw is small and light and was easy to get into these tight spots(had to cut with one hand at times). It ripped through the brush with out a problem. I also used it to cut up fallen branches of similar size and it went through that easily also. I was probably out there for roughly an hour and a half on one battery.

I haven't tried it on anything larger yet but if I had to guess...I would believe it could deal with a small to medium size tree, just would take a lot longer than with a more powerfull gas saw.

Definitely worth the money as long as your realistic about what you're using it for.

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
I have two of these (I guess I was so impressed by the first). No trouble in quickly dropping a 12 inch oak tree. Battery life ... depends on the age of the battery: if the battery is say three years old it may indicate that it is fully charged but it won't run this saw very long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful, August 30, 2009
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
I have a gas powered chainsaw, but find this product has many practical uses. It is great for trimming branches because you don't need to keep it running. It does a great job. I have had it 2 weeks and have used it 5 times. May sure you have a couple lith. batteries. They last about a half hour with this tool.

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
I had very low expectations for this little guy, and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. It leaks oil horribly, but it won't heat up enough for that to be a problem. It isn't as strong as my Ryobi reciprocating saw, but I have gotten some good use out of it.

I have an 8 year-old son that I'm introducing to power tools, and this has been perfect for him.

If you plan on actually using this thing for its intended purpose, you are better off buying a nice pruning blade for your sawzall. This little guy isn't going to cut through anything bigger than it's tiny 10" bar is thick. But if you have a kid that wants to cut down trees with daddy, then by all means pick this guy up.

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP540A One+ 10-Inch 18 Volt Chain Saw (No Battery/No Charger) (Lawn & Patio)
My wife wanted a saw for small jobs around the yard, this is perfect for it. No cords to deal with, cuts well and easy to handle. Only issue is the battery life is short, so have extras ready if you have a lot to do.

borrowed this ryobi chainsaw from my sister-in-law, don`t waste your time, it`s garbage. took 4 battery charges plus the help of a hand saw to cut through a 10" section of wood. beware, beware, beware.

I love Ryobi products but this isn't worth it. I made sure I had a fully charged battery and wasn't impressed with it at all. Changed the battery with another fully charged battery just in case and same results. Sorry Ryobi, don't like your chain saw.
