Key Features


20V Lithium-Ion Battery

  • Long-Lasting Power: The Kress KG343 is powered by a 20V lithium-ion battery, providing long runtime and steady power. This allows for prolonged use during large pruning tasks without worrying about constantly recharging.

  • Quick Charging: With a quick recharge cycle, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time getting your garden work done.

  • Interchangeable System: The 20V battery is compatible with other Kress 20V tools, making it convenient if you already own other Kress battery-powered equipment.

Powerful Brushless Motor

  • Increased Efficiency: The brushless motor provides greater power and efficiency while maintaining a quieter operation. It also requires less maintenance, enhancing the overall durability of the saw.

  • Extended Motor Life: Unlike traditional brushed motors, the brushless design minimizes friction, which reduces wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the motor.

  • High Torque Performance: The brushless motor generates consistent and reliable cutting performance, allowing you to cut through branches with ease.

5" Bar for Precise Cuts

  • Ideal Size for Pruning: The 5-inch bar provides an excellent balance between portability and cutting capacity, making it perfect for trimming branches and stems that are too thick for hand pruners but not large enough to require a full-size chainsaw.

  • Smooth and Clean Cuts: The small bar size ensures precise, clean cuts, promoting healthier growth for trees and plants by reducing the risk of damaging the bark or stems.

Tool-Free Chain Adjustment

  • Convenient Chain Tensioning: The Kress KG343 features a tool-free chain adjustment system, allowing users to quickly tighten or loosen the chain as needed without the use of additional tools.

  • Easy Maintenance: This feature significantly reduces the time and hassle involved in chain adjustments, allowing you to focus more on your pruning tasks.

Automatic Chain Lubrication

  • Continuous Lubrication: The saw is equipped with an automatic chain lubrication system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation during use. The system helps prevent overheating and reduces friction, which prolongs the life of the chain and bar.

  • Easy Oil Reservoir: The tool includes an easy-to-fill oil reservoir that’s simple to access and maintain, helping you keep the saw running at optimal performance.

Safety Features

  • Chain Brake System: The KG343 comes with a chain brake that engages automatically, preventing kickback and ensuring greater user safety during operation.

  • Ergonomic Safety Guard: An upper safety guard protects users from potential accidents, giving you peace of mind while handling the tool.

Lightweight and Compact Design

  • Easy Maneuverability: Weighing just around 5 lbs (without the battery), the KG343 is lightweight and well-balanced, reducing hand fatigue and enabling easy one-handed operation for delicate or overhead trimming.

  • Compact Size: The compact design makes it easy to handle and store, ideal for tight spaces or when pruning in areas with limited accessibility, like between tree branches or around garden structures.
