    This chainsaw is awesome. Im a woman of 5'4... right about national average. I am not an expert when it comes to power tools and I in no way have a green thumb. I do however have a TON of brush to clear... and my clippers just won't cut it. I ordered this 2 years ago. TWO YEARS AGO. And it still works perfectly for our needs. And honestly, we've asked a lot of this chainsaw. I've cut branches with an 8-inch diameter. We literally measured it because we were so impressed.
    So let's get to specifics.. when it first arrived (again, 2 years ago) I didn't realize I needed anything for it. All you need is some chainsaw oil to keep it running smoothly. This tool is small and light enough for me to feel comfortable using on a ladder (.... and btw I feel like a total badass when I'm up there using it LoL). It only weighs a few pounds though. I'd say like 5 or 6 lbs give or take. And its really easy to move around. It doesn't have what I'd call a "clunk-factor". So if I'm on a ladder trying to cut branchesni can move it around and through branches with minimal effort. And I cant say enough, how much this thing can cut through. We use it mostly on the spring, but this passed Christmas we got our tree home and realized it was a little too high. So we whipped this out and 5 minutes later our tree was perfect.
    Comparatively, the price is good: Similar items are similarly priced. I went with this one though because of the name. Dewalt is a highly trusted brand. And it gets a full charge in 1 or 2 hours. Also should note.. its simple to understand the mechanics of it. If you take the casing off, you can easily take the chain and bar out to clean and maintain.
    So I give it 2 big thumbs up! I highly recommend.

    So where to begin? I was considering buying a nearly $400 Husqvarna gas chainsaw. I’ve taken down 75 trees in my yard of varying thickness with a friends 16” and 20” saws. So about after 50, I decided to buy this little guy for the remainder, with intent of using it for cutting limbs and branches. Cue my friend getting forced to work overtime like crazy. So I started to experiment with this saw to cut down the remaining trees. Now I still had some thicker ones that would definitely test this saw, being it’s only 12”. But wow. Super impressed. The saw had plenty of power to slice through not only the branches, but I literally sawed about 15-20 trees down with this and fully cut them up. Oak, Maple, Pine, Sassafras. No problems. Had to change the chain once during this due to dulling but it was a lot of cutting. All I have to saw is wow is this convenient! First it’s light. Very easy maneuvering and one hand cutting is super easy when necessary. Powerful enough to cut through trees bigger than 12”. Though a bigger saw would be easier, duh. But it’s nice to know it’s capable. Most importantly, the battery life. I haven’t been more impressed with a battery powered anything in my life. These batteries power this saw for a long time and I’ve only needed to change the battery once during the day while cutting up multiple trees. It’s a small saw but you could use this all day without too much exertion. Quiet and perfect for thinner trees and branches but won’t disappoint you if you need to cut thicker trees. It does use some oil so make sure you have some. Amazing tool. Would give it 10 stars if I could. I ended up buying the Dewalt 20v weed trimmer, pole saw, and hedge trimmer as well. Very impressed with the battery life and quality.

    Although I have a slight obsession with DeWalt 20v tools, as someone who has traditionally always used Stihl gas powered chainsaws, I was a little nervous about purchasing one that was battery powered. However, like every other Dewalt product I own, this chainsaw surpassed my expectations in every way.

    First, even more of a value than I thought. I thought I was paying a little over $200 for the chainsaw only. And was pleasantry surprised to find that it actually comes with a 5 amp hour battery (didn’t read the listing thoroughly). Those are around $75 alone!

    Setup was a breeze right out of the box. Charge and pop in the battery, add some chain oil (don’t forget to order this too!) and you are off and running.

    Very lightweight, making it easy to use with one hand when reaching for higher branches. The chain tightening/loosening mechanism is very user friendly. The battery life may have been the most pleasant surprise of all. I cut and hauled limbs for a few hours and still had over half of the charge left on the 5 ah battery. I cut limbs ranging from 2 inches to 10 inches across. This thing never flinched. It’s so quiet that the amount of power and speed at which it melts branches is crazy.

    In sum: If you are looking for a chainsaw that has plenty of power, isn’t super loud, has a great battery life, is lightweight, is a blast to use, and a great value for your money, then stop reading the reviews and buy this.

    This 12" saw does exactly what I bought it for. I'm off grid and wanted a saw that was both light and powerful, as well as quiet and easy to use. This saw is great. It cuts fast, and is small enough to maneuver easily in the woods to cut deadfall trees for firewood. I can cut a whole agronomy tote full of wood on a couple batteries.

    Having worked with a gas chain saw in my misspent youth, I know those are great for all day work and when you need plenty of power. This little electric saw is fine for an older fellow like me. Light enough so carrying the chain saw around is not a problem. Automatic oiler, so you don't have to repeatedly spray oil onto the chain, and the saw has excellent battery life. Cutting firewood, I can cut a couple of heaping wheel barrows full with one charge. Most surprising was the saws ability to cut. A lot of the wood I am cutting is dead wood, and fairly hard because of that. The saw will cut through an 8 inch piece of deadwood in about 1 minute. My little 6 inch hand battery saw would take 20 minutes to do the same job, and a couple of battery changes. Only negative is the oil on the chain will drip onto the ground where the saw is stored. Not sure there is anything that can be done about that.
