Not brushless. The tool-only version has gone for around $90 not too long ago. This would be a great deal for around $100

I have cut wood for my fireplace for over 40 years and the idea of a non lubricating saw chain sounds counterproductive to performance and safety. You are going to heat up without lubrication a coil of chain traveling at 50 mph which means the saw bar, and chain will have to be replaced sooner and you will have a more worn chain traveling above your head much more likely to wear/or even come a part. For another $80 you can get one with the oil reservoir which would be more conducive to safety. Please think about this. My $.02.

PS I had one of the early echo power pruner limb loppers without lubrication. I would cut a small limb and try to pour bar oil from a bottle onto the bar and chain. SLOW!. Within a year they had a head with a lubrication reservoir because the complaints were so vocal. I bought it in 1980 and it still runs. The reservoir system at that time was very fragile and has since evolved into a very sturdy mechanism you find std on most pole saws today.

Strangely enough, I came here to highly recommend this very saw… until I read your comment.

The one I've owned for 5+ years like this actually does have an oil reservoir, and it's been a solid purchase since day one. Probably one of my favorites of all my Ryobi 20V tools.

Everything you said is 100% correct though, I couldn't imagine using this without an oiler.

I wonder if they actually removed it entirely for some boneheaded reason, or do they just make two different models

Yep, however that's 40v.

Like I mentioned though, they must make more than one model of the 20v one too. One with an oiler and one without. Strange stuff.

There is no 20V with an oiler in Ryobi's line. Must have discontinued the one you have.

Like you I wonder who in their infinite wisdom chose to make a chainsaw without lubrication as cheap as plastic blow mold production. I appreciate your willingness not to thumbs up this tool since I think it could be an accident waiting to happen.

Yep, 18v self oil is discontinued. Works great, hopefully mine doesn't break now…

Never heard of Ryobi doing 20v tools. Their first line of battery tools came out 30 years ago and were 18v. If they did, it would be weird that they would have made an 18v and a 20v line of tools.

You are absolutely correct! I'm not sure what I was thinking… appreciate the correction 👍
I own too many power tools, across too many brands. My mistake.

Not much power. No chain oiler. It is HEAVY. Hard to control with the extension installed unless you are cutting something directly above your head. I would have returned it if the restocking charge wasn't so high.

There is an 18v oiled version - it's just in the higher (and more $) brushless line:
