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

I live on 10 acres and heat my house with wood. After cutting down and before bucking it up into 18" lengths, all the branches are cut off and run through my chipper to make mulch for the garden. This is where the Dewalt comes into play. It is light weight and easy to maneuver to cut all the branches off the main trunk, I bought a 6ah battery and it runs an hour before I have to stop and pick up all the branches. No pulling a cord on a cool day, no smelling of exhaust fumes on my clothes, no getting burned by a hot muffler while negotiating a labyrinth of branches. I love this new toy ! !

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

This was my go to chainsaw for most small jobs around the house rather than pulling out and firing up the 20” gas powered in order to trim branches. It worked great until last week when it stopped working all together. I took down small tree and went to trim the branches off. As others stated, it stopped working, nothing but a click. I've tried multiple batteries that all work fine with the DeWalt drill, but nothing but a click from the saw. I had to drag the old trusty gas powered out in order to finish the job. The saw is DOA. Sadness, as I liked the convenience and ease of the saw. Now it sits on the table of misfit tools…

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.

Had this unit a week. It took me a week to get some bar oil since it doesn't come with any. Today i threw a battery on and filled it bar oil. Turned it on to make sure it ran before discarded the packaging. I sat it down came back a couple hours later to find a quarter of the oil was on ground. Not cool. I read the manual prior i see that it says to drain the oil after usage but common it was two hours. I can't get pass this and it's a 1 star review. Sorry Dewalt you dropped the ball here. I have over 2k invested in the 20V max line up already. This is a real let down
