I bought this to cut down a small tree, thinking it was a little on the small side but didn't want to spend more. Was very suprised at the power that it had and I made quick work of the tree even cutting through the 16" trunk. Plus it was a great price and included a battery to use with with all of my 20 volt tools.

So after crying about the death of the 18V Dewalt line a bunch of years ago, I decided to 'live in the now' and go all in with the 20V line. Glad I did. Of the dozens of 20V Dewalt tools I have purchased (never gotten a freebie or dime from Dewalt or anyone else) the little chainsaw might be my favorite!! I have owned it for about 18 months and am blown away by how handy this thing is. I bought it for the acreage mainly to limb fell trees instead of using the big gas one that can be a killer on the forearms. Not only does it accomplish that with ease, I tried it on larger dead fall... no problems... tried it with smaller live trees (3 - 4")... easy peazy... went up to approximately 9" standing poplars... just as easy as my gas saw. All this in a little 20V power tool. I was pleasantly surprised by the power of this tool. There are 2 of Dewalt line that I believe everyone should own if you own property and any sort of vehicle. This chainsaw and the tire inflator/compressor. As with the compressor, I highly recommend at least a 5 mah battery. I have many 2 mah batteries that came with drills and circular/jig saws, and have used them and they work fine, just not for as long as you probably want to use them for. Now that I've talked it up so much, and for the price... to me this is a no brainer if you require any sort of basic landscaping tool. I will make a couple notes that you should be aware of though (maybe Dewalt reads these and will update the next model...):First, the chainsaw oil reservoir is really small (I understand that this unit is not for a lumberjack but needs oil after almost every cut). This leads to the amount of chainsaw oil it bleeds, the only chainsaw that I've ever used that goes through this much oil... and the reservoir does not seal very well. A better cap, or maybe O-ring could fix that. Second concern is replacement chains... I'm at a point where I will be neeed to replace the chain soon and according to some posts, a 12" Oregon chain does not work and other posts say yes. Have been unable to get absolute confirmation on this. To summarize, this is a great chainsaw!! Small, light, reliable, hits way above it's weight class. Maybe the easiest 5 star review.

Pleased with this product. Used 7 hours to clean up small trees and brush. Worked great. No fumes and no noise, just big enough for this old man.
