Craftsman V20 Cordless Pruning Chainsaw Kit vs Worx 20V Mini Chainsaw

The Craftsman is the better pick for pruning: its 6-inch bar, tip guard and included 2.0Ah battery make it a complete, controlled tool for limbs up to 4 inches. The Worx is a larger 10-inch bar saw with a tool-free auto-tension system and PowerShare battery compatibility, but it ships as a tool only, so you need a Worx 20V battery and charger already. Craftsman owners rate it highly for light yard work; the Worx suits shoppers already in the Worx ecosystem who want a bigger bar for limbing and small firewood.

• Choose the Craftsman Battery Pruning Saw Kit if you want a ready-to-run pruning saw with a tip guard and battery in the box.
• Choose the Worx 20V Mini Chainsaw if you already own Worx 20V batteries and want a longer 10-inch bar for limbing.
