DeWalt 60V MAX Brushless Cordless 20" 5.0Ah Chainsaw Kit w/Chain Adjustment

This chainsaw is GREAT! I used it all day on a single charge to cut up and stack trees that had fallen due to the ice storm. The only few complaints are the case handle was plastic and broke (stretched) the second I got it. It is heavier than I would have thought but once I got rolling it was not noticeable. LOVE this tool!

Incredible torque! I was expecting something that could do light yard work but I am now using this to fell and buck maples and oaks around the property. The 12Ah battery does heat up if you really push it but as long as you just let the chain do the work (and keep it sharp), you'll get several hours out of one charge. I do wish the batteries were a little cheaper so I could have multiple, but honestly I'm usually tired before the charge runs out. For casual lot maintenance this is my new top pick.

If you are looking for a chainsaw with some balls this is it. I absolutely love almost everything about it except for the chain tensioner, it can be finicky. No more gas powered chainsaws for me.

Only just received this yesterday, the kit-box handle has already failed and come away. Battery only just charged so haven't even used saw yet. Is this a design fault or manufacturing error? (Picture attached, you can see a deflected section)

Needed a bigger back up saw to my gas powered Stihl. This cuts big stuff. Disappointed the 60V battery is not the same as the 60V battery for the 1/2 drill. Battery is heavy. Dropped saw off 12' ladder without damage. Only have one battery so when it goes dead, it is no longer part of the team.

I bought this saw 9 months ago. I use it daily only with 15.0 amp batteries (still using original batteries). Has some impressive power. But the biggest flaw is the chain and chain tensioning system. The chain is too small and flimsy. A Stihl .325 chain would be big upgrade. And the chain tensioning system failed in a matter of months. But other than that its a very strong upgrade from the previous saws and has potential to be even better.

Bought this hoping to get away from gas and fumes. Turns out dewalts technology isn't quite there yet. The bar is just too much for the motor. Batteries overheat easy and don't last long at all. I'm going to try to put a 16” bar on it to give it a bit of hope. It's got nice features and grip, however for being slightly heavier than my 62cc gas, with short lived power, I wouldn't recommend it.

This is my second Dewalt chainsaw. The power and convenience of Dewalt's battery operating system is top notch. However, after less than a dozen uses, the chain tension system is failing. The chain tends to loosen and ends up grinding against the bucking spike dulling the chain.

I bought this chainsaw because I thought electric was the way to go. After using it for a while to cut firewood, I am seriously doubting it. The battery only lasts about 10 or 15 minutes. Plus, it takes too long to charge. I live in a remote area and I need something more reliable. I believe I might have to get a fuel chainsaw. Electric isn't cutting it.

Purchased and initially satisfied. Could not find replacement chain for months. Finally got new chain but 15 amp battery then failed. Will charge to full, but immediately goes to 2 bars and won't run saw. Wont run other 60v implements either. New battery alone is $$$ but saw worthless without it.. Purchased Oct 2022
