I recently tested the Electric Goddess 8-inch brushless chainsaw to see how it performs for routine yard maintenance. By utilizing existing Dewalt 18V battery packs, this tool aims to provide a high-efficiency cutting experience without the clutter of a proprietary battery system.
The build feels surprisingly solid for an 8-inch unit, with a brushless motor that provides smooth, consistent torque during cuts. The chassis is lightweight enough for one-handed operation, which is a major advantage when navigating tight tree branches or dense wood piles.
Setup is extremely straightforward as long as you have a compatible battery on hand. It handles light to medium-duty wood cutting with ease, though the smaller bar length means it is best suited for pruning and hobby projects rather than heavy timber.
This saw is perfect for homeowners and DIYers who already rely on the Dewalt 18V battery ecosystem for their other power tools.
Overall, I give this tool a 4.5/5 rating for its reliability and efficiency. At $99, it is a smart investment that delivers a clean cut while keeping your shed organized with a shared battery system.
