Thank you!! I pined your comment

im surprised there was a bid difference between the 4.0 and 6.0, theyre both 10 cell batteries, thought the 6.0 would just have higher amp hours not higher amp output, but clearly the 6.0s are much better cells

Or it could be that his 4 AH batteries are just getting old and tired. The 6 AH batteries have not been around as long.

Andrew Browner Correct. The voltage of the cell determines the power. The AH just determines run time.

No, the "power" is volts x the amps that the battery can deliver. Higher Voltage alone does not necessarily mean a chainsaw is more powerful. Power = Volts x Amps. The Milwaukee M18 batteries are all 18 volts. They are able to meet and beat the power of many 40V chainsaws because they can deliver that 18 volts at much higher amps. In addition to their higher capacity (i.e. longer life), the larger amp-hour batteries are also designed to deliver higher peak amps without overheating as compared to the lower AH batteries. So the saw will be more powerful when running off Milwaukees 12 AH batteries. Not because of the AH rating, but because they also designed those big batteries with a higher max amp rating. It won't necessarily mean all your tools are more powerful when running the 12 AH battery: a tool with a smaller motor may not be able to draw the higher amps, so the 4 or 5AH battery may already be capable of delivering everything that that smaller motor can handle. It's a bit of an over-simplification, but the 4 AH batteries could deliver 1 amp for 4 hours or 2 amps for 2 hours. Amps x hours = 4, right up to the max amperage that the battery can safely handle. (In reality, the batteries suffer a little at high amp draws, so Amps x Hrs may be a bit less than 4 when you are at the upper limit of the amps it can deliver.) 12 AH batteries could have been designed with the same max amp limit if their focus was mainly on delivering longer run times, but Milwaukee chose to make them capable of higher amps, as well as a higher AH rating

You right. He accelerate like gas chainsaw.

Haha, I just noticed it too

Husqv 51 c

Hahaha like Tesla cars not gasoline smell boooo

Lmao

Chainsaw was a paid actor

@@TeslaBoy123 the lack of emissions is a really great improvement over gas saws.

I love my Milwaukee tools!!

Lol. Ya I noticed that also when I was editing the video.

It's a hard habit to break. It's also unnecessary on gas saws, unless they are tuned so poorly they will not idle. However, I'd guess about 75% of the people I've seen running gas saws do it.

Clearing the saw and oiling the bar by free running it is a common practice of many oldtime loggers I do it too... Vroom Vroom

😂😂😂😂 old habbits die hard haha

@@curlyrooster118 plus it sounds so cool 😎

many sellers online in canada have them with a 12ah rapid charger and bonus 9ah batt for 599$ not a bad deal at all if you have other tools to use the batteries with.. kinda wanna get it just to see how my fuel grinder likes the 12ah

Yea i think the rev thing is just a guy thing to be honest, we like to feel the power : )

The chain needs to be up to speed before beginning a cut or it will bog.

James, you will love it! Cheers!

dont you want your chain to be a little loose, I'm pretty sure my dad showed me that you never over tighted a chain it will wear it right out or break your gear/clutch.

brian chaney You want the chain to snap back to the bar, while allowing the chain to still be rotated around the bar without excessive resistance. The chain should never be saging off of a sprocketnose bar. A loose chain will have a tendency to pop off of the bar, whuch is dangerous, and can cause damage to the saw and cutting components. A chain that is a little too loose will also wear the bar down excessively, near the tip and the tail of the bar. This is due to the chain coming off of the bar do the centrifugal force and slamming back on to the bar which will create divots, again near the tail and the nose of the bar. Hard nose bars are different story you have to keep them a bit loose but they are only used in special conditions and are rarely used today.

The older, solid nose bars required just a little slack in the chain to prevent excessive wear. The recommendation used to be that you should have the chain hang loose just enough to fit the edge of a dime in the gap (on a 16" bar). With a sprocket-nose bar, there is not as much friction over the nose, so that bit of slack is not needed. The chain should be just lose enough to move freely by hand when the brake is off, but not loose enough to leave slack when at rest.

Thanks, actually learned something from you 2, hard to find in the comment section some times : ).

I love it!

Actually they does. M18 brad nailer was a disapoinment for many and also many returned it to shop were they bought it.

Mr. Wizeguy i ran threw 20 000 nails with my 16 guage nailer still runs great what guage nailer was yours?

I meant 18 gauge nailer it was a bit too early released, way too big and bulky for 18g nailer and also leaves impact marks on wood when firing and still nail not necessary set sub-flush. 15g and 16g nailers seems to work better.

Mr. Wizeguy must be why they dont offer framing nailers yet sucks about 18 guage nailers didn’t know about that

David F the old brushed ones were great. The new brushless ones were very unreliable

You'll be needing that warranty

Only thing I noticed is the chain often comes off the bar when cutting very small branches, but only when cutting sideways.

As a general statement, that is true. However, being one of the heaviest battery saws, this Milwaukee weighs the same, or in most cases more, than a 40 cc gas saw. This saw weighs 14 pounds with battery! Google some 35-40 cc saws and look at the weight. I found one as as light as 7.5 pounds. This is not a light chainsaw. I was shocked when my neighbor's saw was lighter than my 11 pound Makita.

It's 13.9 lbs with the 12ah battery and the scabbard off the bar and chain.

ThacMan I came so close to buy the Makita last year. I decided to wait 1 more year in case Milwaukee came out with one. Glad I waited. :)

For years I wanted that Makita sooo bad, but I'm not going to buy into another battery platform ever again. I'm sure the Makita has not disappointed you.

Send it to milwaukee repair.........................................................................................

Maybe Birch is invasive where he lives. I know there are some invasive species where I am. I wouldn't cut a healthy Birch down where I live unless I was going to build something from the wood.

No I have not noticed it getting warm

@@frenchriversprings the Makita tends to get warm sometimes, if you use it to cut 10 inch logs or even thicker ones, at least if you make a lot of cuts. But it don't get damaged, it recognizes it and stops, and give an flashing signal over the battery gauge. It has a good motor protection. Nevertheless these battery chainsaws today are great, I use my Stihl gas saws now only if the battery saw can't handle it. If it can, it's my first choice.

Why?

Good power, great quality ,a vast array of tools, lots of battery options and great warranty.

Best part about running a gas saw is those little bastard eye divers fuck off for a while.

JonnyRocketfuel Eye divers, lol. classic Johnny rocket.

I have had my Fuel Impact and Drill set for about that long with 4.0 amp hour batteries here in Alaska. Batteries stay in the truck year around, haven't had any problems yet discharging in either heat or cold, unless in use.

Well, my 8 years old Boch 12v li-ion batteries are still working fine...

What's cheaper, buying a new battery every year or buying gas?

Didier Merette Dufresen. Your not using your tools like a tradesman then, we are a little harder on our tools.

Theorimlig good point. Most people I know make up a gallon of mix and are hard pressed to use it up before fear of it going bad. Batteries seem to last 5+ years,even ryobi's. These seem to be a good option if you already have other tools using the Batteries.

It's more or less the equivalent of a decent 40cc gas saw. While the big box stores might sell a 40cc saw with a 20" bar (in an attempt to appeal to the "it's bigger, so it must be better" crowd), neither a 40cc gas nor the Milwaukee M18 Fuel are suited to that size bar.

Hello! I live in the forest and use this to cut trees. I do not work in construction -CFiddy

No I would not. So much quieter than gas

I trimmed and cut down entire trees all weekend long and never had ear protection.

Definitely use ear protection. The sound of the chain is loud enough to permanently damage your hearing.

At my local power tool store. Northfast in Sudbury Ontario.

Couldn't agree more!

Couldn't have said it better

Damn right, dude.

No the watt hr is the actual capacity . . 12 amp hour at 18 volts has no more amp hrs of work in it than a 4 amp hour at 56 volt ( all things being equal) and their watt hrs ( of stored energy will be similar)

High volts to get capacity means you can use thinner wire and smaller components . Lower volts to get same ( horsepower) means you need beefier wires , motor and components. Milwaukee's route .

I'm not well versed with chain saws, but are you saying if he kept his finger on the trigger between cuts, then the battery would last longer?

Taylor, if you don't need to cut 20 chords of firewood per year then I would go with the Milwaukee for sure. Cheers!!

Definitely gotta have a good chainsaw on your boat

Not really but I certainly felt it
