Electric Goddess 8-inch Brushless Cordless Wood Chainsaw
The Electric Goddess 8-inch Brushless Cordless Wood Chainsaw brings a surprising amount of mobility to routine yard work by tapping into the DeWalt 18V ecosystem. I spent a week testing its cutting capabilities on cedar branches and small logs to see if this compact motor could truly handle consistent outdoor use.
Performance & Build Quality
The brushless motor design gives the saw a smooth, consistent power delivery that feels much more durable than cheaper brushed alternatives. Its 8-inch bar is balanced perfectly for one-handed operation, and the housing feels robust enough to withstand the occasional bump against a tree trunk. While it is clearly designed for lighter tasks, the build quality is surprisingly sturdy for a cordless tool of this size.
Day-to-Day Experience
Using the saw is intuitive, especially since it snaps right onto your existing DeWalt batteries with no fuss. It cuts through branches with minimal vibration, though you should keep in mind that the battery is not included and adds a bit of weight to the bottom of the handle. The small footprint makes it incredibly easy to store in a workshop or carry to the back of the property.
This saw is the perfect companion for DIYers who already own DeWalt batteries and need a nimble, low-maintenance tool for pruning and light wood cutting.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Electric Goddess 8-inch Chainsaw is a solid performer that earns its 4.5/5 rating through sheer efficiency and ease of use. At $99.00, it offers a great way to expand your power tool arsenal without the overhead cost of buying into a new battery system.
