DEWALT 60V MAX Cordless Chainsaw, 18 in., Tool Only (DCCS672B)

This took down a 22" gum and I bent the bar while bucking (it was my first day). While waiting on a replacement I got a Stihl 271 (I've got a lot of storm damaged trees). This little beauty is my pack with and minor cut champ. After using both for a full day I can tell you the DeWalt is kinder on you, but has battery limitations. Power wise it's pretty decent and is phenomenal in ground work where you'll do a cut, then position awhile and so on. I'll fire up the Sthil about 10 times over a day, but use the DeWalt well over 100 individual cuts. I would equate the ease of use to to why golf carts are preferred over stick shifts in a lot of places, this is just fun. Great tool for what it is and invaluable for anyone, be they weekend warrior or home steader. For those of us not up to Wranglestar status this is a great back up for the gas powdered and can charge batteries off a solar panel. If you're clearing debris or heating your home this is a great tool and piece of mind. It is pretty liberal with the bar oil discharge, I'd recommend storing with that in mind.

For weeks, I went back-and-forth deciding whether to buy a traditional gas chainsaw or this Dewalt cordless model. I don't have a ton of trees to maintain, but the ones I do have are sizable (around 18" diameter). So I decided to give this chainsaw a try and I haven't regretted it. You're not going to cut cords of firewood with this thing because the battery overheats with constant use, and the batteries won't last for hours. However, if your cutting is somewhat limited to smaller jobs, this saw is great. It definitely gets the job done and the supplied chain is sharp and lasts. Dewalt didn't skimp on the chain. It's not a light duty chainsaw either. Yes, the battery life is limited, but this thing cuts and cuts well like a decent prosumer gas powered chainsaw. Would buy again.

This thing really works. We cut up and haul a lot of wood every year. This is the second year for this saw and its done well. We regularly cut 14" diameter logs np. I did get some aftermarket batteries to supplement the genuine one. The key is keeping blade sharp and finding the sweet spot on loading it down. One other detail when cutting continuously is swapping batteries out so they can cool. I rotate between 2-3 when in the woods and usually run down before the batteries :) If I have a huge amount of continuous cutting I grab my 14" Stihl but the electric is easier for cutting and loading type work.

Overall a good chainsaw, although I wish I would have gone with the 20" but it cuts well and for my peace of mind, battery powered is the way to go. I use it to cut cedar and white oak primarily and it'll cut through those no problem. One thing good is that it doesn't leak oil like the 12" that I bought previously. The ONLY complaint is that the tension gear doesn't stand up to normal use. You can see a few teeth have been knocked off. The replacement part is is about $15 including shipping. Hopefully it'll last a bit longer.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. Extremely easy to use for small to medium trees. Does not work well with small brush such as mountain laurel. We had a lot of clean up to do from Hurricane Helene. Will need several batteries on hand as the due not last too long.

I have about 8 Dewalt cordless tools, I even have the older model 16" 60v chainsaw. My old chainsaw has been through some serious crap. I'm not exaggerating if I say I've felled over 50 trees with it. It's been beaten, hit, dropped and even left out in the rain. Eventually the handle broke, the molded plastic, and I don't think there's a fix, so I ordered the new "upgraded" model. The DCCS672B. Here is my honest review. The good... Like the old saw it will cut through a 20" cherry tree in no time. It's got power, it's got torque, it's quiet and it's light. The bad: 1) I have about 3 hours on the saw and the chain tensioner just broke 2) with the older model and with most gas powered chainsaws, you typically use the chain adjuster when you install a new chain, or sometimes if you've run it for hours. With this model, DCCS672B, I find the chain loose about every 5 minutes. I spend more time adjusting the chain than cutting. 3) The design of the chain sprocket is absolutely stupid. The bottom of the sprocket has no guard or washer, so the chain constantly slips off the sprocket and down underneath it. I cant cut and delimb a single tree without having to open the saw up at least once, sometimes more, to reinstall the chain because it's slipped under the sprocket. The chain sprocket on my old saw was worn and the handle broke. I just bought a sprocket replacement for the old saw and I'll try my luck with crazy glue or some kind of plastic adhesive to fix the handle. The new saw already has a warranty claim open with Dewalt, I've owned the saw for 5 weeks, and fingers crossed, maybe the fix it properly and it becomes my backup saw. But the old Dewalt is absolutely going to be my primary saw again. They just don't make them like they used to. Shame on you Dewalt, this saw is crap.

a quiet powerfull even at low rpm, very balanced

I love it! Powerful saw. Better than my gas chainsaw. Advise not to buy from Canada Tools though. Terrible customer service from them.

👍

Good quality fit finish Dewalt standard 👏

A very good chainsaw
