DEWALT60V 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.

Powerful and easy to use, great chainsaw and a fully charged battery lasts a long time.

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.

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.

I love most of the tools from Dewalt. I think they make the best drills out there for professional long lasting use. Every once in a while I have purchased something from them that was disappointing. I think their portable vacuum cleaner is terrible. And I think this chainsaw is pretty bad as well. On the first use I noticed that the blade/chain guide was pretty flimsy. The small tree branch that I was cutting that was only about four inches in diameter pinched the saw only very slightly and caused the chain to pop off. The saw itself has plenty of power but I was unimpressed by the durability when put to the test.

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.

This Dewalt chainsaw works great. So much better than using a gas chainsaw. I had no problem cutting 8 inch logs.

I just purchased it and will test it very soon at the hunting camp. This is my second DeWalt electric chainsaw and I still have the first one. The first one still works great but the automatic chain oiler stopped working after five years. I have used it a lot. Great product and I highly recommend DeWalt.
