Electric chainsaw

[Stache Attack]

Been pretty happy with Milwaukee saw. I already had Milwaukee tools so it made sense. Does leak bar oil pretty bad.

Can agree. My 30 year old stihl doesn’t leak but 2 year old Milwaukee does, same with works dewalt.

Battery has got me pretty good limping just tore up pants and scuffed leg you have to watch the torque of them. I prefer gas saw but the little battery saws are very handy and stowable

M18 hatchet is a very handy lil shit. I break down a lot of cardboard with mine

I wouldnt want to go cutting firewood with the thing. But for a lil prune job, or stupid stuff that you dont want to smoke a good chain on.......

My wife has one.

Awesome for the 2 small limbs that the storm last night blew down.

I'll be getting their 16 before too long. I've got a few Husqvarnas, same as sad. He got the M18 for small stuff and loves it.

Already invested in the battery ecosystem.

Id get one based on whatever battery system you have currently


I went with a stihl 200? A couple years ago, besides temps in the teens I have been extremely impressed. Just too easy to use

Like my Milwaukee a ton for property cutting up downed trees and clearing up shooting lanes. Don’t really use it to cut standing trees. Use it a ton for work I use to use a sawzall for unless metal is involved. If you need to use it more than a 12 ah battery I grab the stihl gas one. It does leak bar oil worse than my gas one. Mine came in a kit with a leaf blower and 12 ah battery. Also bought a pole pruner with 8 ah battery that’s great. Wife loves the pruner and blower. Have a shop vac and tire inflator also and they are super handy especially on hunting and fishing road trips.

have 18" Ryobi electric/battery and it is okay - can cut 8-10-12 cuts on a 12 inch log per battery. The less you lean on it the longer it lasts. 4-6 inch limbs - can cut quite a few.

Have a SunJoe pole saw and love it - little battery lasts a long time and never had an issue.

Also be careful with aftermarket batteries.
