How it works

The Zeeksaw six-inch mini chainsaw packs a powerful punch with its pure copper motor and high-efficiency lithium battery. The chainsaw has two 5C 20V rechargeable batteries, delivering a runtime of up to 60 minutes. When the batteries need a boost, they take between two to three hours to recharge fully.

The low-kickback chainsaw boasts a chain speed of 32ft/s, and at under three pounds, it's lightweight enough to tackle high-up branches and awkwardly placed shrubs. Small but mighty, the Zeeksaw mini chainsaw can cut through a six-inch-thick branch in seconds — making quick work of your fall and winter backyard projects.

When you buy the mini chainsaw on Amazon, you'll also receive a handful of accessories, including a screwdriver, carrying case, oil bottle and protective gloves.
