Its thick protective housing keeps the blade and chain contained, and the bar adjusts for branches up to 4 inches thick. The housing also acts as a prop for cutting branches on the ground, eliminating the need to prop them up first. This lightweight saw, weighing under 8 lbs, is easy to maneuver for overhead cuts and is compatible with a 5-foot pole attachment (sold separately) for trimming tree limbs without a ladder. It includes auto-tension and auto-oiler systems for optimal chain performance. This model comes with a 20V 2.0Ah battery and 0.4A charger, part of the Worx Power Share platform, allowing compatibility with other Worx tools.
The WORX WG320 JawSaw is designed for homeowners and DIYers who need a safe and convenient way to tackle pruning, trimming, and light cutting tasks. Its primary benefit is the unique, retractable bar and chain system that significantly enhances safety by enclosing the blade when not in use. A potential caveat is its limited cutting capacity, suitable for branches up to 4 inches thick. This compact and lightweight cordless chainsaw features a self-tensioning chain, automatic lubrication, and a unique housing that props up branches for easier cutting.
