The 40V Max and 20V Max Lithium Ion Chainsaws from Black + Decker offer the convenience of cordless maneuverability with the needed power and performance for cutting through dry wood and live logs. The 40V Max has a 12-inch bar and chain while the 20V Max features a 10-inch bar and chain. Both cordless chainsaws include tool-free chain tensioning. In addition, there’s no need for manual oiling with these chainsaws. The 20V Max unit oils the bar and chain with the use of a traditional primer, while the 40V Max chainsaw eliminates priming and constantly keeps the bar and chain lubricated.
