20V MAX 12 in. Cordless Battery Powered Chainsaw (Tool Only)

First time using it, I was very impressed. The recent upgrades to this model was one reason why I went ahead and bought it. Upgrades include a seal on the oil cap to help prevent leakage, oil cap changes to help prevent dust, etc. from getting into the oil tank, smoother cut so improved battery life and a higher RPM than the previous model. The safety feature is a little harder to engage than I expected so don't be surprised about needing to push harder than you might think to put it into run mode if the safety is on (mine came with it engaged). Other than that, everything was as expected and it was up and running after plugging in a battery and adding oil. Be sure to not let it run out of oil and tighten the chain after using it awhile as new chains will loosen up a bit after some use. Saw is powerful and light weight. Adding that I've cut many 8" to 10" diameter pieces of wood off a black willow tree the last few days and it worked very well.

I have use this the last year and it has been great. I just used to take down a 45ft high 12 inch round tree and it did amazing. If you need a small chainsaw for around the home then this is it.

This is a great tool for light-to-medium cutting. Simple setup, light weight, and easy to use. I bought two 5-amp batteries, which allow me to work for hours. The only downside is it leaks bar oil while in storage - evidently by design... the owners manual actually advises that you drain the oil between uses, which is totally impractical. I have found if it's laid on its side it won't leak, so as long as you remember, this is a workaround. If DeWalt would fix this design issue, this product would easily earn 5 stars.

Chainsaw works excellent for a beginner. I bought it for my daughter. She loves it. She now does all of the smaller cutting up to 12 in. I also used it. It is a lot of power for a little saw. Good product

Awesome little chain saw. I've cut down over 20 trees with this little guy so far. 6 of those trees were 50+ foot poplar trees. Im using larger size batteries with it (5 version over 2). My buddy brought over his much larger chain saw and was impressed at everything this little machine ate up. I did have some larger size downed trees on my property that I used a bigger saw to tackle (trunks over 15"). Great value for the money. They have seemed to fix the leaking oil issue with this version. Battery life seemed great to me. Even when I used a smaller sized battery in a pinch.

runs fines cuts great good purchase

I am a career forester with over 20 years of experience. I purchased this saw as something that could be stored in my truck to quickly clear small fallen trees and brush accross forest roads. Sounded like a great idea at the time, but I find myself being a little underwhelmed. I like the campatability with my other dewalt tools/batteries over other options and I run it with a 6amp battery, but this thing bogs down or just cuts out constantly, even with a brand new chain. I'm going to do more testing, but at this point, I kind of view this as a toy than an actual tool. I say that as a devout Dewalt fan. as others have noted, also leaks bar and chain oil. Which all saws will do. This one more than all others I've owned. Pro's: ease of use, built from quality materials, light weight. Con's: lack of power and leaks oil. Lack of power being everything with this saw. Update: I moved this from 2 stars to 1 star after further testing and use. This thing is hot garbage. Just pass on it. I find myself using a cheap chinese made pruning saw far more than this underperforming "quality" brand product. Very dissapointed as a devout Dewalt Fan (heck, the ear muffs I use with my gas chainsaw are even bluetooth Dewalt earmuffs (which I do reccommend)). It's underpowered, leaks far too much bar and chain oil when stored. Just get a gas saw or a cheap chinese electric saw if you are going to use it as I do.

When my wife first suggested that she was going to purchase this saw, I dismissed it because it was 1) only 12" and 2) electric. The chain length is more than adequate for most jobs. The battery life is sufficient for about 30 minutes of cutting. It is quite easy to swap out chains when you need a sharp one, and adjusting the tension on the chain could not be easier. This will easily cut small trees and large limbs. I used mine almost exclusively to clean up my property after Hurricane Milton. Top quality. The only drawback to the design is that there is no chain lube reservoir. A dry chain tends to dull faster than a wet chain. I use a spray lubrication product that helps a bit. Regardless, top rating for this little powerhouse!

Muy funcional y fácil de usar. Apesar de que es pequeña tiene mucha potencia

This is an actual functioning chainsaw! It's not as powerful as a gas saw, but, it does the job at a more relaxed pace. The machine has surprising heft to it making cuts easier. The oiler works great and unlike the other chainsaw I had purchased the chain stayed put and it did not sag. Love it!

works great. Lightweight, compared to gas chainsaw, but rips through 10" dia logs with ease. Be sure to screw cap for bar oil properly - I didn't and dripped oil - soon fixed. I used 5Ah battery and was good for three 60' poplars. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfecto 1 año de uso para trabajos de casa

This is the best saw for max 4” branches. Saw I’ its light and easy to use. This is my go to saw for most trees. Would highly recommend
