Ryobi OCS1830 18 V 30 cm Bar ONE+ Cordless Brushless Chain Saw

Product Information

The Ryobi One+ OCS1830 is a cordless chainsaw that works with an 18V battery and is part of the huge range of One + battery tools from Ryobi. Sarah’s role as chief editor at DIY Garden is about more than just making sure we’re literally dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s (although she’s a stickler for detail, so it’s certainly about that too! Since Storm Arwen had uprooted several mature trees around my farm, there was plenty of wood waiting to be cut up for firewood. It’s easy to get a firm grip on the handles, and the minimal vibration makes things more comfortable. The values shown are for reference purposes and may vary according to the workpiece materials and other operating conditions.

These were trunks that I previously used a petrol chainsaw for – although the Ryobi was a little slower, the end result was just as good. It sliced these up quickly and neatly, so I soon moved on to larger trunks to test out this chainsaw’s limits.Ryobi claims that it should last for about 40 cuts, but this varies depending on what you’re cutting.

It’s a machine that I would recommend to just about everyone – whether you’re looking to regularly cut small pieces of firewood or you need to occasionally slice through large trunks, this chainsaw will handle it all. I couldn’t find any information about this online, and I did notice a few minor kickbacks while I was using the saw, but these really were very minor. 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. The mechanical and electrical chain brake ensures the chainsaw immediately stops running, if required, for improved user safety. From mowing the lawn, drilling a hole, cutting wood, trimming hedges or polishing your car, the ONE+ system lets you do all of this with a ONE+ Battery.Incorporating advanced Brushless technology means more power, longer runtime and a longer life through its frictionless motor. It can also be adjusted quickly and easily thanks to tool-less chain tensioning, while a full wrap-around handle (complete with over-mould), means it can be used in any orientation, perfect when reaching for awkward areas or branches.
