What's the difference between 24V and 40V Greenworks tools?

The 24V range is designed for lighter tasks around the home — hedge trimming, small lawn mowing (320mm), drilling, line trimming, and leaf blowing. Tools are lighter and more compact. The 40V range is built for heavier garden work — full-size lawn mowing (460mm+), chainsaws, brush cutting, and high-powered blowing. 40V tools have brushless motors and more runtime. All batteries within a voltage range are interchangeable — any 24V battery fits any 24V tool, and any 40V battery fits any 40V tool.

Are Greenworks batteries interchangeable between tools?

Yes — that's the core of the Greenworks system. Every 24V battery works in every 24V tool, and every 40V battery works in every 40V tool. However, 24V and 40V batteries are NOT cross-compatible — they're different physical sizes and voltages. Start with a kit (tool + battery + charger), then add skin-only tools to expand your collection affordably.

What does 'skin only' mean?

A 'skin' is the tool without a battery or charger — just the bare tool. If you already own a Greenworks battery and charger in the same voltage (24V or 40V), buying skins is the most cost-effective way to expand your tool collection. Kits include the tool plus a battery and charger.

How do Greenworks tools compare to petrol equivalents?

Greenworks battery tools are significantly quieter (typically 20-40% less noise), produce zero direct emissions, require almost no maintenance (no oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters, or pull-start cords), and start instantly with a button press. The trade-off is runtime — you're limited by battery capacity rather than a fuel tank. For most residential use, a 4.0Ah battery provides plenty of runtime. For larger properties, a second battery or the larger 6.0Ah option keeps you going.

What warranty do Greenworks tools come with?

Greenworks tools carry a 2 year residential warranty on parts and labour. Rechargeable batteries are covered for 1 year. Consumable parts (blades, belts, filters, cables, batteries) and normal wear are not covered, nor is damage from improper handling, neglect, or unauthorised service. Non-transferable — keep your receipt, original purchaser only. Commercial customers — call us on 0800 800 880 to discuss coverage; we assess case-by-case under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Claims are handled by Trade Tested at 0800 800 880 or support@tradetested.co.nz.

How long do Greenworks batteries take to charge?

Charge times depend on battery size: a 2.0Ah battery charges in about 30-60 minutes, a 4.0Ah in about 60-90 minutes, and a 6.0Ah in about 90-120 minutes. The charger has LED indicators showing charge progress. Greenworks batteries have built-in overcharge protection — you can leave them on the charger safely. For best battery life, store at room temperature and avoid leaving batteries fully depleted for long periods.

Can I use Greenworks tools in the rain?

Greenworks battery tools are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions. Light moisture is generally fine, but avoid submerging the tool or battery in water. Store tools and batteries indoors in a dry location. The battery terminals and charger contacts should be kept dry and clean.

Who distributes Greenworks in New Zealand?

Trade Tested is the New Zealand distributor for Greenworks. All warranty claims, spare parts, and support are handled locally by Trade Tested — call 0800 800 880 or email support@tradetested.co.nz. Greenworks is manufactured by Globe Inc and is one of the world's largest battery-powered outdoor tool brands.

Are Greenworks ride-on mowers available in NZ?

Greenworks ride-on mower availability varies — contact Trade Tested at 0800 800 880 or support@tradetested.co.nz for current stock and pricing. Note that ride-on mowers use a different battery platform to the 24V and 40V ranges — batteries are not interchangeable between voltage tiers.

What's the best Greenworks lawn mower for a standard NZ section?

For a standard residential section (under 500m²), the 40V 460mm Brushless Lawnmower with 4.0Ah Kit is the most popular choice and one of the highest-reviewed Greenworks products. For smaller lawns or easy storage, the 24V 320mm Brushless Lawnmower is compact and lightweight. For larger properties, the 40V 460mm Self-Propelled model with a 6.0Ah battery reduces effort on slopes and longer sessions.

Greenworks 24V Circular Saw 185mm Brushless Skin

24v circular saw, Greenworks

Probably better than I expected, I have used this saw already several times, mostly with the smaller 2AH battery, but once with the 4 AH. The convenience of picking up the machine without mains cord when the work is light saves me lugging my 9-1/4 saw round. It hums away nicely easy to use, and a good purchase. I do have one criticism though for a machine being sent to a metric area, having the plate graduations in some archaic runes called "inches" seems ridiculous when an up-to-date knowledge of the world, it would be easy to ensure correct graduations for the vast majority of the world using metric. Still, I remember that Nasa lost millions by stuffing up metrics by miscalculating dimensions based on a dead king's thumb, so I guess I got off lightly. 1" was deemed to be 3 grains of barley laid end to end back in the 13th century...........!

Greenworks 185 Circular saw

This has proved to be a good purchase as i needed one to carry around and not need a cord to do little jobs I also have a pole saw which has proved a good purchase for limbing up, and i see they now have a longer blade plus a brushless Moter which is a big improvement The only downside i have is that the two saws do not take the same battery Cheers Colin

Works very well. Did buy a different blade (have not tried the one that came with it) and used it to cut pailings. Great not to have a long cable running through the garden, can take it anywhere. Certainly recommended for the home handyman.

I have quite a few of the Greenworks 40V garden power tools - but I was quite amazed to see that the Greenworks 24V Circular saw is equally powerful. It cuts cleanly and as a DIY enthusiast I love it.

Greenworks 24V Circular Saw 185mm Brushless Skin

Ripping guide

I used this saw a couple of times and was pleased with the power, balance and ease of use. However, when I used the ripping guide I found that it wasn't a snug fit when it slid through the bar locating holes ie, the bar is 12 mm wide whereas the holes that it slides through are 14 mm wide. This made it impossible for the ripping guide to run parallel with the saw blade. It is possible to set it up parallel initially, but the bar is locked with a single clamping bolt and even light pressure allows the bar to pivot thereby upsetting the parallel geometry; this renders the ripping guide useless.
