Very true mate, hopefully they take this feedback on board!

Thanks Michael, thats amazing and I really appreciate it! The titanium chain I would estimate would last twice as long as the standard chain, but I couldn't really put a metric to it since there are so many variables. In terms of chain sharpening and maintenance, I would feel hugely overshadowed by the many professionals who aleady have videos up! I can do it and maintain my own chainsaw, which itself is a fairly simple job and I'm happy to share my own knowledge. I'll put it on the to-do list. Got a few more reviews up my sleeve to go so keep an eye out, and thanks for watching mate!

In Australia the equivalent Milwaukee 18V chainsaw is over $500 AUD.

@@offroadcrusader Wow! That's insane! 😧

USA has a larger market (pop 280million) Australia has a smaller market (pop 26 million) . It just maths. A new base Ram 1500Truck is about $AU130,000 or a base Mustang @$AU70,000 .....that's life in Oz.

Hey mate, cheers for the comment! Yeah I completely agree, if you need to clear bigger trees then this does struggle. It will get there, but it really labours and it chews the batteries much quicker. I've moved to the 6Ah batteries now which do give it some extra punch. I know you can get 9Ah batteries but I haven't seen them locally. The titanium chain is definitely a good idea!

Hey mate, thanks for your insight there. Most 240V AC chainsaws I have seen are rated at 2000-2500w, which you're looking at pulling over 200A through an inverter. While not impossible, its a pretty huge load and would require multiple batteries or one larger 200A+ size battery with a beefy BMS, so definitely cost isn't ideal. Then there is the need to run an extension cord for the saw. For my own use, I would need probably a 20-30m extension cord to reach into the bush to find the wood I want, which is pretty impractical for my setup. I would much rather bring extra batteries for my cordless chainsaw, even a charger for them, rather than all the inconvenience of a 240V saw. Also, in my eyes both options are safer and more erganomic than a petrol chainsaw.

I live in the USA and we run on 120 volt AC. My 9 amp 14 inch saw would require less than 1100 watts from an inverter and that would equate to about 90 amps at a 12 volt Lead acid battery or less than that at a LiFePO4 13.8 volt battery. That would be under it's 100 amp BMS limit. I guess that the direction water spins as it goes down the drain isn't the only thing that's different down there. LOL@@offroadcrusader

Thanks mate, really appreciate it! Thats exactly what this chainsaw excels at, but it is surprisingly good at collecting firewood for the home too! I have done exactly that with a log across the crack. I cut the log in certain spots, usually getting half way through the trunk, then using the winch to pull the log apart and break it away off the track. It was also super handy to cut the limbs off the trunk, so that way we could clear the track even better.

Thanks mate! Its a OCS1830BL 18V 12" Ryobi One+ Chainsaw
