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.

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.

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.
