I own that saw. It's a beast. Yes will do fine with the 4- 5amp battery but used with bigger batteries and it's unstoppable. Puts my gas chainsaw to shame and of course the low noise and maintenance makes it worth every penny.

I do landscaping and I’ve had a couple of Stihl electric chainsaws for about 3 years now. I find myself using the electric saws far more often than the gas saws now. The convenience of not having to mess with gas and a pull starter is a game changer.

Nice job guys they come in handy. I have a blk-decker works great for what I use it for. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on still having all of your limbs, its a miracle.

Have to say, I came here expecting to laugh....but now I'm impressed!

Cool that was a handy tool.. did a good job for a battery powered chainsaw.. Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

I tried the 1.5 Ah batteries just for fun and they run the saw well enough to keep cutting when the big batteries are drained. Pretty impressive!

I loved my little battery powered saw. Perfect for camping!

I just picked up this 12 inch 20v after some recent winter weather down here in Texas… every Lowe’s Home Depot and tractor supply I went to was out of small gas chainsaws… decided hey I’ve got 4 and 5 amp hour dewalt batteries and grabbed this… worked like a charm… I was using it in oak (live oak and red oak) and magnolia(some limbs were 8ish inches in diameter)

PS. The notion that you regularly need to discharge lithium-ion batteries to make them last is FALSE. Quite the opposite: Recharging after just a small depletion will actually prolong them.

Thanks Mike, now I have a headache. That tree falling on us hurt🤭

Man that did an Awesome job. Awesome video

Your son is a hero bringing you water on a hot day like that.

LOL, WE’RE OK MIKE. 😁 Thanks Mike for the review on the chainsaw. I have the Dewalt blower and hedge clippers and use the same batteries as Nick’s drills. I have wanted a battery operated chainsaw for awhile.Nick hid my gas one from me. I WILL have me a Dewalt battery chainsaw. Thanks Mike. 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

Wow nice to see that your teaching your son the aspects of safety while using a power saw !

i love that tune at 9:30 demo ranch and richard gene the fishing machine love that tune too!!

I agree on the batteries... And on the size of the wood - my 4aH ones will last most of a good days work on little stuff, say up to 4-5"... Once you start hitting 6-8"+ stuff (a lot of ash & hickory in my yard) it gets tougher, and the more you stress that little motor the more it's gonna draw on the battery. I'm betting if I were cutting strictly 8"+ ash I'd maybe get 2 hours out of a regular battery. That being said, by the time you go through two batteries you've probably got another couple hours of picking up wood to stack, maybe splitting, etc, so as a homeowner that works out just fine.

Sweet man 💪 maybe i Bay one👍

Small but I could use it ,🥰😍👍

I have this saw, I prefer the big battery pack, because it does last longer. However, I made the mistake of buying two big battery packs and that was a bad idea, because after using one battery pack, the motor gets warm and freezes up till it cools down again.

I have the same saw Except I put the 16” Bar&chain Used it to cut two 40ft mulberry trees Using the 5ah batteries Didn’t have any problems with it

Yeah, that little thing did a great job. I have the 60V version but have not used it yet.

Great information…. I do have a headache and everything is a little blurry

Heat, Overcharge and Full discharge do kill lithium battery. Well, it kill the weakest of the cell in the pack. Meaning a 20v row of a defective battery usually have 1/5 of it actually defective. The big battery (4 row) will not become hot as fast and will last longer than 2 smaller ones(2 row). Its not recommended but with a bigger battery you can upgrade to a faster cutting Full Edge chain and/or a longer blade. Both will use more power and may burn the motor if not carefully use. Usually electric chansaw come with an half edge chain, because its cheaper, safer to use, and last longer both for the teets and the motor.

Noticed that RHEC sticker on your tailgate there. You got a like just for that 🤘🏼

I just got mine and used it to cut a massive tire in half for the goats. It has way more torque than my gas one. But I went through batteries like crazy

That’s neat

Green Like mucus 😂 Great content

My biggest use for those flexvolt 9ah batteries is in one of those shop fans dewalt has. Where we live you shake a stick at the power line during a normal storm and the power goes out. I need a fan to sleep. Also have one of those small work lights. And one of the 12v magnet lights. We use them when the power goes out so we don't need to burn candles. Also can change up our cellphones with the attachment about 5 or more times fully. Shoot found more uses for all these batteries. I considered getting that 1800 watt power station inverter from dewalt with those 12ah flexvolt battery to run the refrigerator and run it until power is back unless it's out for multiple days. Also those battery replacement from Amazon that's a better price i tend to get them.

Depends on what saw your useing 54v needs big batteries

To be honest.. the 4-5AH battery works just fine. When I need to do quick trimming I just use a 2AH battery. Its way more easier than trying to start Stihl gas powered saw and I've cut logs that were way larger than 12" diameter. Just use a narrow kerf chain and don't overload it and it will cut through just about anything.

Love my 12" Dewalt saw but boys are always using. Just ordered the 20" Dewalt for me. My Husky saws just sit and wait for a big tree but that is a rarity.

Uless you are pro lumberjack I can't see the point of owning a gas chainsaw anymore. The battery power is quite enough for yard work.

Did Chip have anything to do with the tree falling on your fence? I know you said it split...but, is there any way it could have fallen in some other direction?

IF DeWalt cared about it's customers, they would make their battery chargers with a storage charge function. If you can get the cells to between 3.7-3.85v, the battery can be stored for a long time and not go bad. Keeping it dead or fully charged will degrade the batteries. I 3D printed an adapter and wired up a balance plug and an XT60 so I can use my hobby charger I use for my drones to keep the batteries at storage voltage.

“You’re crazy. But I like you. But you’re crazy.” 😂

They are so easy to start.

cool!

They're better. I just got rid of my stihl for a sixty volt twenty inch the wall much much better. I would have never believed until I got one.

Woo hoo! Going green by cutting down trees. Hmmm 😂

Does it leak bar oil when the saw sits somewhere for a while?

Hey nice vid brother. Ironically enough I just bought that same saw and it’s the only one I own. Cuts great and good battery life as you’ve demonstrated however… the damn thing leaks chain saw fluid like a sieve. Let me know if you encounter this (and how to fix it if you find out!) damn thing leaves puddles when I put it away. Thanks man !

Hello

ouch LOL

I would still use the 60 V.

Thanks for the video. Just got this saw for taking with us in the RV. It's a great saw. But dude......wear some eye protection!!!!

the saw sound like thwomps from SM64

Alright then

That was a nasty case of poison ivy!

Boy I messed up I like and have Dewalt tools a store had them saws on sale and gave a 5hr battery far 100bucks a few years ago I wasn't sure about them would of been ideal far little jobs

The ape sounds had me dying laughing 😆💀

You taught me something about batteries : Use or lose:. Never knew that, Thanks Mike

"Deplete" is the word you were looking for.

never use the saw one handed and get yourself a Helmut with a face shield and safety glasses . you never know when your saw going to kick back and then your really hurt and it looks like your inexperienced BEST WISHES TOM

I bought Dewalt compatible batteries off Amazon. Lowes wanted $160 for 2?? I got 2 for under $35 with shipping. They work GREAT so I saved over $100.

12:25 Just imagine those chicken nuggets if you were attempting that with a gas chainsaw. You'd have to pull them out of the trees. 😆🤣😂 Those electric chainsaws are great if your neighbours have city bylaws officers on speed dial.

I probably have 10 hours on mine and it just died. No, I don't have the brake on. Really pi$$es me off.

Green? Lithium batteries and coal fired power plants to charge them… HA! Love ya brother!

So, How much oil DID you go through? Did one tank take care of all of that?

Hey, let's talk buddy, we want to see the saw work. We don't want to hear you

So you ended up doing a review 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah...once you try the Flexvolt 60v MAX stuff, you'll probably delete this video out of shame. You think that toy chainsaw is a game changer??? My 60v MAX stuff is BETTER THAN GAS. Try the DCCS670.

your going to end up hurt my man, no eye protection, no chaps, sneakers on and in shorts also the way it looks you need too look like you need to learn how to use a saw wright

Wear chaps.

Where's your safety equipment?

No gloves no eye protection......

Good God man get to the freaking point
