I find their variations & model numbers way too confusing. For example the ry40503 is rated pretty poorly [techgearlab.com] (which is the same as the ry40530) vs the competition.

Anyone know how this one(ry405010) compares? From the model # could be an older model, which is could mean worse (or better I suppose). Found something on the HD website that might indicate this one has a slower chain speed.

Looks the same.

Please don't buy from tool thieves, it just makes prices higher for us all. I'm sure there is one person out there selling a brand new 40v battery because they couldn't return it to HD for what they paid for it, but the large majority are tool thieves.
Yeah, nothing like going to the Steelyard Home Depot near Downtown Cleveland where an item is supposed to have 7 in stock and you show up and the shelf is empty and staff can't locate anything. I stopped going there to try to get clearance deals that were supposedly in stock because the stocks counts are inaccurate due to theft.

FYI they sell battery adapters so you can use other brand tool batteries
Firefighter here. I've seen enough fires that originated from power tool batteries that were operated under normal use/charge that I'm highly wary of those adapters.

It's definitely tempting to save some money and use batteries that you already have, but it's still unclear how mixing battery systems and voltages affect battery health.

You need citations to believe stolen items are being sold via craiglist? Huh...

I've been eyeing these as I'm invested in the Ryobi 40v system for power tools. Thanks for sharing! In for one.

The quality OEM batteries have built in BMS (Battery Management Systems). Running one, two, three, or a hundred in series does not matter to the battery, it doesn't know/care.

Maybe you can tell us about some of the fires you've seen under normal use. Or do you mean while being charged?

Citations for what? Are you in denial that the guy on FB marketplace with what looks like a mini warehouse in a storage unit is not stealing tools? Do you think Ryobi sells to anyone but Home Depot?

HD website has good reviews https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../318681401

And if you look in the questions (likely where you saw the chain speed comment) the Ryobi rep says the HP series has 15% more power. This is an HP series chainsaw. While it could have nominally slower speed, it could deliver more power and not get hung up versus the other series.

fyi.

I bought one of these brand new and I've only used it about 4 times over the past 1.50 years and the chain oil reservoir leaks badly.

Dumb question here, but is the 40V system different from the One+ system?

Is this better then the DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Chainsaw, 12-Inch, Tool Only (DCCS620B)?
The Ryobi has a 2" longer bar and might cut faster (see Project Farm Youtube reviews), but only has a "hand guard". The Dewalt has an anti-kickback chain brake, so is less likely to cause injury. A while back, I compared various Ryobi and Dewalt (had both battery systems already). Went with the Dewalt, don't regret it. It was $125 at the time. $187 seems way too high.

Yes. One+ is 18V. Ryobi 40V fits only 40V tools and requires 40V chargers.

I think this is a good safety point, but I'm wondering how this might be different with an electric chainsaw vs a gas saw. I have an 18v Ryobi chainsaw that stops VERY quickly when letting off the trigger. But still you might have a kick where you are trying to control the saw and squeeze the trigger.
