lol

thanks man :D

Ryan Appreciate the love mate !🙌🏻 We love what we do and are fiercely independent 👊🏻

Any time! :P

Skippy Chippy I reckon your on the money ! Glad you like yours.

It has plastic bucking spikes, no oiler adjustment & the bar tightening mechanism is really bad. The oiler cap is also really bad, but that's not really relevant to the saw's performance. It's definitely not built up to the baseline standards of an actual chainsaw. It's built like a toy that just happens to have a really nice motor in it. Makita's 36V saw definitely meets most of the basic requirements. At least the bar tension mechanism is certainly better than the Dewalt, although still not quite perfect. but I will say that Dewalt's chain tensioning dial is a lot better than the Makita. Makita's chain tension dial is about as bad as Dewalt's oiler cap. Both feel like they could break at any second. And idk why people are complacent with this sort of mediocrity either way though. I'd be hoping that Dewalt's next saw incorporates metal bucking spikes. hell, even Makita's 10" saw has metal bucking spikes. Either way, I'd rather both brands go back to chainsaw wrenches for bar + chain tension on anything larger than 14".

Aa BB Rhe lack of spikes is a little annoying but the oil issue that I have seen and heard of before seem to be sorted with this one, so either it’s been fixed OR I’m very lucky at this point. I will certainly keep an eye on it. I also havnt had any issues whatsoever regarding the chain tension dial with either of the dewalt chainsaws we have used.

Thanks 👍

you're welcome John :D

no it can't be adjusted. that feature is usually only found on pro saws

@@OZToolTalk thanks. I bought myself one of these saws, didn't have problems with the oil, but the Motor burned after 2 months. Until then it was a nice saw to work with, but all good things come to an end... A smokey end for mine. 😄

both are awesome. check out our comparison!

we'd love to try it!

Preach it my man (from another dewalt lover)

don't know sorry.

no

Paul Blasius not YET sorry. Keen to

yeah I'd rather something a bit more reliable as well. hasn't broken yet, but I do wonder the same.

Sean Cleverly Thanks mate. Haha, I think you new to find a KILLER deal on another yellow tool she would be excited about and then drop the catalogue in front of her with a chainsaw special 😝

@@OZToolTalk lol yeah might be worth a try.

Not sure how you will persuade your better half that you need (absolutely need and must have) one of these especially as it's not just one of DeWalt's nice yellow toys but a FlexVolt which means not only the chainsaw but possibly a nice new dual 18/20 Volt charger and at least one dual 18/20 & 54/60 Volt (that's why they are flexvolt) battery and probably more than one. Have you seen the price on these?? and nobody can make compatibles yet (still in patent) so one is trapped into paying DeWalt sky high prices. Let me guess, misses say No!!!😢😢😢

Mike said this has more power than any other we've used. And it's his favourite. I also love it. [Dwain]

thai phan Hard for us to say as we havn’t tested it yet but this certainly is impressive.

@@OZToolTalk ...lol sorry...somehow i got you mixed up with... Brian from workshop addict...they've done a review for Milwaukee m18 chainsaw....pretty sure dewalts looks more powerful... i feel gen2 coming on...Milwaukee just dont like to loose

@@dickphan no they dont #teamred

@@dickphan Milwaukee got a glowing review from AvE compared to the Dewalt. So I doubt they're going to care. Even if Milwaukee's is 10% slower, it's still built better and it's more like an actual chainsaw. Dewalt's just wasting a nice motor on a toy with plastic bucking spikes & a plastic chain tightener.

you'll love it Rob

same unit

cheer Mac

Just marketing. Technically the same batteries.

this has WAY more power

Dev Scally haha, we have some Bosch Blue coming up 👍🏼

Ozyrob2 I hear NOTHING !

@@OZToolTalk 😂

I think this is the new one from dewalt...the one ave took apart was the old model....looks a beast...would like a comparison against Milwaukee m18 chainsaw

@@dickphan ... I did not see the inside of the lid, if dose not have a metal plate on that tidings mechanism, to cheaper the bar from wobble, is nothing different. Same system is on the stihl MS 180 C-BE that only has the metal plate inside of the lid , and the clutch from the tidings mechanism is much more steady.

@@MrDINODINO74 ...APOLOGIZES!!! MY BAD!!! after a quick search on KZfaq "ave dewalt chainsaw" ave has reviewed this particular model and doesn't think so highly of the wibble wobble chain tensioner.....sorry again for doubting ya ...as i only saw the vlog he compared a dewalt chainsaw vs the Milwaukee m18 ...WHEN AVE tears into a tool and don't think its very shnookm....sales are gonna decline....cheers fellow commenter...😁

@@dickphan... you don't have to apologise, everyone has a dream about he's darling tools manufacturers, and is not easy wen they make mistakes. I have my disappointment with dewalt to, I have to put my own rafter hooks on tools I use frequently. I have a bigger disappointment with Milwaukee, because he sales the same circular saw in the world and only the model from Europe doesn't have the shades light of the blade on to material I have to cut, and I have to build one one my own, because the light from the side are useless. If dewalt was using the Stihl lid to cover and tid the bar definitely could avoid the problem.

Without being too blunt, not knowing how to use a chainsaw isn't really Dewalt's fault. Bar oil is key to every chainsaw ever made.

comparing chainsaws in a couple of weeks ;) [Dwain]

Oz Tool Talk will it be the new 18 inch ego
