DEWALT 60V MAX Cordless Chainsaw, 18" (Tool Only) – Brushless Power for Heavy-Duty Cutting

As long as the blade stays sharp. Great power is equal to or better that the gas ones and weight is about same - Im 66 and it could be lighter. My last battery operated 16" Dewalt motor caught fire when I turned the blade sideways on a stump at ground level. The fragments from the dust and moisture entered through the screen cap over the motor and started smoking. Need to have the that side of the motor facing up at ground level somehow? I want something to use sometimes and not worry about gas and carburetor damage issues. I live at near hurricane and storm areas. I also use it to keep large trees limbs and shrubs trimmed up down to a medium. Big Fought that moisture will destroy it quickly. I have lost a weed eater and chainsaw to it

Wow! That is what I said the first time I used it to cut through an 18 inch stump. The power and cut was better than my gas chain saw and much lighter to hold. I kept cutting other trees that needed trimmed and then the chain fell off. Putting chain back on takes some time so it is important to keep adjusting the chain tension knob after a few cuts to keep it set properly and you can avoid that problem. I use it to cut 4X4 posts as it is faster than my circular saw.

Good product. A nice tool for light trimming. The bar and chains are not very durable but over all for a light yard work chain saw it is very handy.

Excellent saw, the best in its class. Will outcut others in this category, with ease.

Nice power, easy to use, but the chain tensioner out of the box would not tighten the chain enough, even after running it for 20-30 seconds and retightening. The chain kept jumping off. Opened up the casing and all the gear teeth were sheared off. I love DeWalt tools, but this was poorly designed. If they would have ran a bolt from the front of the case housing into the tensioner, they wouldn't even need gears. I just ended up modifying it myself and works great now

I like the power and not having to mix gas. It cross cuts well but an angle cut for dropping trees seems to be an issues. Couple of things that are really bothersome is hoe quickly the saw throws the chain. I can count on the chain falling off 3-4 times per hour. Then bar also seems to be to flexible and this makes it hard to cut larger diameter logs and trees.

Yes - cuts well and battery lasts longer than I thought it would. But, on my second one due to bar oil leaks. First one would leak all of its bar oil out in 2-3 days. Sent it in for warranty - and they send me a replacement. With the replacement came a comment that I needed to read the owners manual and that there would be no more warranty replacements. What does owners manual say - "Always empty oil tank when finished cutting.". First chainsaw I have ever had that says that - and Dewalt probably should have added a drain hole so emptying the tank creates less of a mess. And yes - the replacement also leaks out all the bar oil in 2-3 days if you don't empty the tank. I have never had a chainsaw where this was a requirement.

the saw is refurbished at best handle scatred and worn from use DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER

Purchased this a 4months ago used once for 3 cuts put on shelf went to use it again yesterday and all the oil had leaked out refilled and same thing not oil the chain but leaked out somewhere really disappointed and I can t return it

I love the convenience of this chainsaw - but it leaks oil like a Pig! I put an O ring around the oil filler plug, but it hasn't made any difference. I looked on a new one in the store and they still don't have O rings on them. I heared that Dewalts "answer" is to drain the oil after every use?? Unacceptable, I don't have to do this with my Stihl chainsaw - LOVE the saw otherwise
