The WorkProX cordless mini chainsaw, which looks to only be available at Amazon, comes with a battery pack that at this time can only be charged via USB.
We’ve seen another tool brand switch to USB-charged power tool batteries, but it looks like the WorkProX cordless power tool battery can only be charged in this manner.
Isn’t this what users have asked for, a universal way to charge cordless tool batteries?
The WorkProX 18V/20V 2Ah battery can serve as a power bank for charging personal electronic devices on the go. It has a digital fuel gauge, with the remaining charge capacity displayed as a percentage.
It features USB-A and USB-C ports, and is said to fully recharge in 1.5 hours.
WorkProX 20V tools and batteries are NOT compatible with WorkPro 20V tools and batteries.
On one hand, this a name-brand cordless mini chainsaw for very cheap, and you don’t need to find a place to store yet another charging dock.
On the other hand, cordless outdoor power tools don’t often pair well with 2Ah batteries, and 90 minutes is a bit long of a recharge break.
There are other WorkProX cordless outdoor power tools, with most being even more continuous use-type than the chainsaw, such as a hedge trimmer, string trimmer, and leaf blower. Some of those are bundled with a 4Ah battery.
Amazon has additional WorkProX battery packs sold separately, for $3 less than the price of this kit. Correction – WorkPro changed the price today, as they tend to do a lot – and so the price of the kit is now just $1 more than for the battery.
Price: $38 to $40 for the kit
Your Thoughts on the Approach?
Skil has also went down the USB charging route, such as with their cordless nailer kits.
WorkProX does not include a power brick with their cordless tool kits, only a charging cable. And as mentioned WorkProX 20V batteries won’t charge on WorkPro 20V chargers. I have not yet seen any WorkProX charging docks – maybe that’s something we’ll eventually see.
I think that USB charging is a good idea for DIY-grade tools. For Pros, the charging times aren’t fast enough, or at least faster charging rates aren’t being utilized yet.
Despite being exclusively USB-recharged (for now?), at least you can still swap or batteries as needed.
The pricing is unusual; at this time you can buy 2x cordless mini chainsaw kits, each with a tool, charging cable, and battery, for just $1 more than the price of 1 kit and 1 spare 2Ah battery.
How do you feel about USB-recharged cordless power tools? Cordless outdoor power tools?
