Once it’s going, it’s going, and this unit can process some smaller downed trees, branches, and firewood.
This formidable cordless chainsaw from DeWalt is one of the most powerful battery chainsaws on the market.
With its no-tool chain-tension adjuster, users won’t have to slow down to make adjustments or lube the chain.
With steel bucking spikes, an electronic chain brake for safety, and a weight of under 11 pounds, this chainsaw is easy to handle.
During our tests, the compact saw performed with great chain speed and good balance.
The compact design makes it easy to store between uses, taking up little shop, shed, or garage space.
Combined with a low chain speed, it is for very occasional use: processing a downed branch, maybe removing a shrub or two, or cutting kindling.
Battery exchange is a snap, the tool is well-balanced, and the price and availability of parts and supplies is great.
