The values shown are for reference purposes and may vary according to the workpiece materials and other operating conditions. This machine is also a great size. Its 30cm bar makes it very versatile, while the body itself is relatively compact. It’s easy to get a firm grip on the handles, and the minimal vibration makes things more comfortable. Ryobi products are always very distinctive with their green and grey colour palette, and, visually, this one fits perfectly into their ONE+ garden tool range. Quieter than a petrol chainsaw, the 18V motor requires no maintenance, produces no emissions, and removes the need to store petrol. The mechanical and electrical chain brake ensures the chainsaw immediately stops running, if required, for improved user safety. This chainsaw has also been designed with a brushless motor. This basically means that the motor creates minimal friction when it’s running, resulting in higher power and a longer runtime for the battery.

The Ryobi OCS1830 falls short with the length of time it holds a charge for. It can take a while to cut through branches and firewood. I found this chainsaw to be extremely easy to use for a couple of reasons. Firstly – its weight. At around 3.5kg , even with the battery in, this chainsaw is exceptionally light, which makes it so convenient to manoeuvre. I was able to climb into huge piles of debris and use the chainsaw in very awkward angles, which allowed me to get the job done so much faster. Buyers of the Ryobi OCS1830 will get more use out of it if you have a spare battery to hand to swap over with, if this chainsaw dies while in use. Using a 5.0Ah battery (not included), the Ryobi OCS1830 can make up to 40 cuts on a single charge. This is a bare tool - battery and charger are not included. Features:

Frequently Asked Questions about Ryobi OCS1830 Chainsaw

This product will run for varying lengths of time depending on the battery used. The runtimes are as follows: In terms of runtime, my 5.0aH battery gave me about 20 minutes . Ryobi claims that it should last for about 40 cuts, but this varies depending on what you’re cutting. If I had focused on smaller and lighter branches, then I would have probably been able to use the machine for closer to 30 minutes. However, since I was cutting large and dense trunks, this took the runtime down to about 20 minutes.

I was impressed with its charging time – it only took about an hour, which is on par with the Makita batteries that I also tested. All of the other cordless chainsaw batteries I used took much longer to charge. In terms of design features, there are a few that stand out. Firstly, the 30cm Oregon bar and chain . Anyone that’s familiar with chainsaws will know that this is a sign of great quality. Oregon chainsaw parts are very high-performance and are known for lasting the years, so it’s great that this machine is fitted with them. Ryobi recommends using at least a 4.0aH battery with this 18V chainsaw. While it’ll work with smaller ONE+ batteries, your runtime wouldn’t be long enough to make it worth your while. So, since I had a fair bit of wood to get through, I went slightly larger with a 5.0aH battery.The battery life may or may not hold its full charge for you to finish the task at hand, depending on how much wood cutting you need to get through. As mentioned, the tool-less chain tensioning is a big plus, although all of the six cordless chainsaws that I tested have been designed with this feature. Just like the others, this one also has a claw stop, as well as ergonomic handles to improve the user experience. As part of the Ryobi ONE+™ system of over 150 cordless tools for the home, garden, automotive, crafting and much more, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ OCS1830 Cordless 30cm Brushless Chainsaw is perfect for cutting logs and branches, cutting firewood and so much more.
