Which is better for pruning small branches?

The GPED. Its 6-inch bar, 2.54 lb weight and one-handed grip suit light pruning, and two batteries keep it running. The Worx is heavier in the cut and better for larger limbs.

Which cuts bigger wood?

The Worx. Its 10-inch bar and listed maximum cut diameter go well beyond the GPED's 6-inch capacity.

Do I need to buy a battery for the Worx?

Usually yes. The Worx is commonly sold tool-only, so budget for a 20V PowerShare battery and charger unless you already own them. The GPED ships with two batteries and a charger.

Which is easier to maintain?

The Worx, thanks to automatic chain tensioning and automatic oiling with a level indicator. The GPED needs manual tension checks and oil refills.

Is the GPED worth stepping up to over the Worx?

Only if you want a complete, light kit for branch work. If you already own Worx batteries or cut thicker wood, the Worx is the stronger choice.

The Worx has the edge on build and its shared battery platform makes replacement easier. The GPED's plastic housing and proprietary batteries are the weaker points, though its included spare chain and bar help.

GPED Mini Chainsaw Cordless 6 inch vs Worx 20V Mini Chainsaw

Buy the GPED if you want a complete one-handed kit for pruning branches up to about 6 inches, with two batteries, spare chains and bars, and safety gear in the box. Buy the Worx if you already own Worx 20V PowerShare batteries and want a longer 10-inch bar with auto-tension and automatic oiling. The GPED is the better value as a first saw; the Worx is the better tool for anyone already in that battery system.

Choose the GPED Mini Chainsaw if you want a ready-to-run pruning saw with two batteries, spare chains and safety gear included.
Choose the Worx 20V Mini Chainsaw if you already own Worx PowerShare batteries and want a longer bar with tool-free auto-tension.
