i have several Dewalt cordless tools, but mainly saws, drills, sanders, etc. I have been very pleased with them. What kind of battery life do you get from a charge?
The tree in the photo is the biggest thing I’ve cut and with a sharp chain it walked through it with ease.
Get back to us in 10 years. That’s the test of a good chainsaw.
My brother has that exact one. I’ve borrowed it a couple times and it works great. It can take on some big limbs too. Just always keep a battery on the charge and keep the oil on the chain
Don’t know what “normal” is but renting the machine might be even better. Or hiring the work out.
Interesting, that I have one of these EXACT same saws. Ordered it online, and have been using it ever since the ice storm wreaked havoc on my trees. It works flawlessly and easy to use. Even when the chain popped off a couple times, it was so easy to remove cover, clean it, and put the chain back on. Best money I ever spent. Bought the largest one they had at 16". Wish they had a 18 or 20", cause I would have bought it in a NY minute. Just hope the battery holds up for a long time, because like all these new electric stuff we're seeing pop up, the batteries are not cheap at all.
does it come with a purse holder?
There is a tampon dispenser in the chain brake!
I would define normal as a home owner with like 5 or less acres. For a chainsaw taking care of downed limbs and the occasional full tree. 10 or less uses per year.
Bought mine through Home Depot................DEWALT 60V MAX 16in. Brushless Battery Powered Chainsaw, Tool Only DCCS670B - The Home Depot.
I’ve got a typical suburban house…. But I have no regrets with my gas yard tools. Do the routine maintenance on them, and you’re in good shape and won’t have to buy or charge expensive batteries. Just non-ethanol fuel and bar and chain oil.
This is the one in my photo above... I bought it "tool only" because I already have several batteries in the family.
I had an Echo weedeater for almost 15 years and it was time for a new gas tank and rebuild the carburetor. Just decided to go with a battery powered one instead and I don’t regret it. It takes me 15 minutes to weedeat and trim my yard so going with a battery trimmer was an easy decision.
I have been using the 40v Ryobi (expand it)) string trimmer for about a month.
Agreed on the batteries. They all seem to come out with a new battery design every 4-5 years that forces you to buy new equipment because either a) the new batteries do not interface with older equipment or b) the new, old stock of batteries cost 90% of what the new equipment does causing you to say 17 it and buy a new fleet of implements.
I bought an EGO chainsaw and weedeater. Love both of them. I bought the weed eater first and loved it so much I bought the chainsaw and blower. They all work great. I can use the saw about 45 mins to an hour on a charge but I have two batteries and chargers so I can just swap out if I need too. I live in Amory so the chainsaw has been put to test. Matter o' fact even had some guys with Stihl chainsaws that were impressed by its performance. For light to moderate use it's the way to go.
Good tip. I had no idea. Damn smart business model. I hope they make a killing doing it, because the way the manufacturers set you up to have to buy new ones absolutely sucks.
You're right. I've got that and about that whole line of DeWalt tools. They just work.
