I was quite reluctant to buy a cordless chainsaw, and even more reluctant to buy a 20V one. Having 5 other 20V Max tools, and given that the product had a 90 day money back guarantee, I thought I would give it a try. MAJOR good move. Let’s be honest, this isn’t a tree felling, firewood stockpiling chainsaw, but you wouldn’t be buying a 12″ tool for that, would you? In a true baptism by fire, the first use was Hurricane Irma cleanup in a south Florida yard. It sliced through a downed citrus tree easily, even 5-6″ limbs, and citrus is not soft. Even more surprising was the way it easily sliced through saw palmetto, which is very fibrous and stringy. One hand operation is a breeze, which is great when you are trying to hold foliage out of the way so that you can see what you are doing. And of course, it is much quieter than a gasoline saw, no earplugs necessary. On demand starting, instead of a pull cord, is obviously an advantage when you are up on a ladder or in a tree.

I’ve owned a couple of chain saws in my life, but I’m the last to tell you I’m any expert. Generally the deal is making sure the engine will start…and continue to run. Pros will just hold the saw in one hand and jerk the cord. Me, on the otherhand, have to put the saw on the ground, make sure I’ve flipped all the correct switches and settings and then with one foot on the floor plate, a hand on the throttle and the other hand on the pull rope, I start the process of trying to get the saw (which has only seen a few trees in it’s lifetime) to start. If you have old fuel or a bad plug, you have to mess with it more or finally throwing in the towel and taking it to the shop.
Those days are gone…
I received the DeWalt chain saw knowing it would be a compromise from what I once had and what I had been using (a sawzall) to cut limbs, etc. I received if on a Saturday afternoon, unpacked it, put the battery on charge and just left it there overnight. After church I figured I’d attempt to cut a few things down or clean up some brush before the battery died, and trying to keep myself from bodily injury in the process.
I filled the oil reserve on the left side of the saw with bar oil, then put on the battery. From there I went to my first “victum” some branches I needed to cut off a tree. I pressed the trigger release and the trigger, the saw came to life and sliced the 2 inch limb like butter. Next I cut a couple of 30’ pine trees with trunks probably 8-10” in diameter. No problem. I then sectioned the two trees…no problem. I then cut some major limbs off a birch tree…no problem. Next a couple of small birch trees, about the same size as the pines…no problem. After sectioning 4 or 5 trees into logs for burning and cleaning up the smaller branches I moved on to cleaning up a couple of small stumps and a couple of other small trees. Other than binding the chain a couple of times (due to inexperience) I think I cut down a total of 6 trees, sectioned 4 of them and cleaning up a number of other things in the yard…
I did this all on one battery.
The saw really didn’t get slow but I figured it was starting to show some minor fatigue…as was I. I brought the battery in the house to recharge.
If you have to cut down a large tree, you may want to go with something else, but I cut down 6 medium sized trees and basically cleaned up after them with no issue and on one battery charge.
Whoever designed this thing was a genious. I don’t plan to buy another gasoline saw again. You can also bet this thing will be with me on whatever camping or backyard bonfire we have. It will also be one of the things I’ll have with me if we have another ice storm or hurricane.
I was so impressed I also bought the hedge trimmer that runs on the same battery. I’ll let you know how that works out.
Anyway, this is a reall good saw. It is well worth considering for any small to medium chore you have for a chainsaw.

This chainsaw is awesome. Im a woman of 5’4… right about national average. I am not an expert when it comes to power tools and I in no way have a green thumb. I do however have a TON of brush to clear… and my clippers just won’t cut it. I ordered this 2 years ago. TWO YEARS AGO. And it still works perfectly for our needs. And honestly, we’ve asked a lot of this chainsaw. I’ve cut branches with an 8-inch diameter. We literally measured it because we were so impressed.
So let’s get to specifics.. when it first arrived (again, 2 years ago) I didn’t realize I needed anything for it. All you need is some chainsaw oil to keep it running smoothly. This tool is small and light enough for me to feel comfortable using on a ladder (…. and btw I feel like a total badass when I’m up there using it LoL). It only weighs a few pounds though. I’d say like 5 or 6 lbs give or take. And its really easy to move around. It doesn’t have what I’d call a “clunk-factor”. So if I’m on a ladder trying to cut branchesni can move it around and through branches with minimal effort. And I cant say enough, how much this thing can cut through. We use it mostly on the spring, but this passed Christmas we got our tree home and realized it was a little too high. So we whipped this out and 5 minutes later our tree was perfect.
Comparatively, the price is good: Similar items are similarly priced. I went with this one though because of the name. Dewalt is a highly trusted brand. And it gets a full charge in 1 or 2 hours. Also should note.. its simple to understand the mechanics of it. If you take the casing off, you can easily take the chain and bar out to clean and maintain.
So I give it 2 big thumbs up! I highly recommend.

This little guy really surprised me. For what it is, a compact battery operated saw, it really does quite well. This saw will always have a place on my farm or in the truck when camping.
The 5ah battery that came with it allowed me to not only drop a 30′ high, 10″ diameter maple tree, but also to limb it out and cut the log into firewood rounds before needing a recharge shortly afterwards. Interestingly enough, by the time the battery was drained, the oil/chain lube reservoir had dropped to the minimum line as well. I can see a good rule of thumb would be to top off the oil reservoir every time you swap a battery.
