DeWalt 20V MAX XR® Compact 12 in Cordless Chainsaw (Tool Only)

I bought this the beginning of the past summer. I am a homesteader/ strawberry farmer. I wanted a chainsaw I could use when my husband is at work and I find a little tree or limb I needed moved out of my way for paths or underbrush. It cuts through up to 8" trees without a problem and once I've learned how to cut trees it's amazing and for my kind of random branch removal the batter o lasts all day. Making firewood it only lasts for about an hour. That is with a 4 amp hour battery. I've told all my friends and several of them have bought them since and love theirs too!

I bought this saw as smaller option to my large gas saw. It works very well and has enough power for most clean up jobs. My only complaints are the delay when I squeeze the trigger, and the fact that it has leaked bar oil since day 1. Not deal breakers, but still issues.

The unit works awesome, one problem, when cutting logs or 2 x 4', if the saw stalls , and you try to pull the blade out, the cut is the same size as the rivet at the end of the blade, you can't pull it out, can we get a wider chain for the unit

I like the product. My wife handles it without a problem and she feels safer than with the big gas powered. Unfortunately, the first one I had lasted about 9 months of very limited and light duty use. Would I recommend it? Yeah, but doesn't last well.

I bought this saw a few months or so ago. We had freezing rain and a lot of branches came down everywhere. The saw worked pretty good but like everyone else says, it leaks oil. I set it down on my work table and picked it up to notice oil soaking in my table top. I would give more stars because it performed well, but because the leak i couldn't

I bought this saw several months ago and have only used it a few times. It works great but leaks bar oil out the bottom. It is NOT an O ring issue on the filler cap. Internet searches have shown that the oil tank leaks at the sealing points for the cap adapter and the vent and oil line points due to a seam issue in the tank molding. DeWalt's suggestion to empty the oil tank each time after use is ridiculous!. My other gas powered saws don't require this. DeWalt needs to fix this issue properly. All of my other DeWalt power tools are great quality, this product falls short of what I expect from DeWalt.

I live on about 3/4 of an acres, and had a lot of limbing to do. This little guy worked great when it worked, but unfortunately only lasted about 18 months. Not sure what the warranty is, but it will no longer operate...it simply clicks. Buyer beware.

this is 2025 , the chainsaw they sent me a 2021 model. how is that even possible.? i will tell you. they got alot of them real cheap and sell them to us the customer like its a 2025!! no thanks!!

Just like all the other reviews say, it constantly leaks oil, making a mess everywhere. Dewalt's official advice is to drain the oil after every use, but it STILL leaks oil even when doing that. I own over 100 Dewalt tools, and this simply does not come anywhere close to what I expect from Dewalt. I even own the Dewalt handheld pruning chainsaw which does not have this problem, and from what I hear, even the newer models of this saw have had the issue fixed.

I used this saw to trim some and cut down a few small trees on my property. I liked the way it cut and was comfortable in my hands. However I was terribly disappointed when I set it down for a while just to realize that all of the oil leaked out of it. In my opinion this saw does not live up to the dewalt brand.
