Will the Milwaukee M18 dual battery chainsaw hold up to sawmill use?

[@feelthepayne88]

Wow good to see Milwaukee has actually made significant improvements instead of just putting out another tool thats more or less the same tool as the last version. 👍

[@americandream_89]

It is definitely a step in the right direction!

[@edwardrook8146]

This was a very helpful video. I'm almost convinced electric saws will be usable for me in the next two years.

[@americandream_89]

@@edwardrook8146 I appreciate the feedback. The elector electric saws are incredible from a maintenance standpoint. This new duel battery saw now gives you a ton of power without having near the maintenance as gas saws.

[@edwardrook8146]

@americandream_89 I'm interested in putting one by the brush chipper so my guys don't have to pull a starter cord or leave a saw idling the whole time. It's just a lot of money to spend on a machine that only cuts for a little while and then you have to get out a battery charger

[@americandream_89]

@ I think that scenario would be a great position to have one if cost ends up making since

[@LumberLineFarmingCountry]

Like you, we are in the sawdust all the time and except for the big chainsaws in the log woods, we have transitioned over to all Milwaukee Fuel products! Like your channel. Keep up good the work!

[@americandream_89]

I appreciate the support! Glad to hear you’re also seeing the benefits of cordless tools on the job. They are by far less of a hassle to keep peak performance.

[@LumberLineFarmingCountry]

@@americandream_89 we thank you too! Can't imagine working without them now. Especially my cordless impact when working on broken equipment in the field.

Handy to have when cutting ice on dugouts to water cattle. Gas saws don’t have the torque to move the chain after it freezes if you set the saw down for a minute.

How can you fix the 2727 model if the bar studs are stripped?

The new dual battery chainsaw is not a replacement for the old one. It’s on a completely different level and is meant for hard core pro use where as the old one is for home owners that might use it around there house a few times a year.

[@americandream_89]

We use the old one daily going through a chain almost monthly they are great. I’m hopeful that the new updates get implemented in that one as this duel battery one is hefty for small task. Duel battery one is next level tough for sure

[@Walkop]

Disagree. Landscaper here, works totally fine for medium-duty use.

[@riceball777]

@ for a professional landscaper the new dual battery chain saw would be an amazing upgrade for you.

[@job38four10]

But not everyone can afford a $1000.00 saw, and then two more batteries at $500.00 are needed to compete with a $200.00 - $500.00 gas saw....

[@americandream_89]

@@job38four10 I get that if you’re buying a used saw. But I’m curious as to what New saw you can buy for 2 to 400 that will compete with this?

[@job38four10]

@@americandream_89 I was referring to gas powered saws. I would by a gas saw before paying $1,000.00 to cut my firewood up, and even then one would need $1000,00 worth of batteries to keep up with 50cc gas saw. But for just cutting a few sticks I'd go with EGO at $500.00 or something cheaper.........

[@americandream_89]

@ I knew what you was referencing. What I’m saying is I don’t think you’re gonna spend 200 to 500 on a saw and have the power that the Milwaukee does. this Milwaukee is replacing an MS 391 stihl which cost $600 minimum. The Milwaukee comes with two batteries that cost 200 apiece. I paid 800 for the Milwaukee. So if you consider the two batteries costing 400. The chainsaw cost me 400. You cannot purchase a chainsaw that will be even close to the Milwaukee for $400.

[@edwardcraig7143]

I’m bout to buy that Tesla Saw !

[@americandream_89]

That would be better than dewalt 🤣

[@job38four10]

To know for sure whats faster someone needs to do a real world test of something like 144 NON stop cuts in 16" hard wood, then compare cost to said race.... But I have to retract or tweak former comment, I wouldn't pay $1000,00 for battery saw if my back was feeling better, a sore back is making me look at battery saws, just so I can still cut a few trees and cut up some firewood, One thing I like about Milwaukee saw is battery can be used in other tools like circular saw. But I also think chainsaw companies should go back to electric start then I wouldn't have any interest in battery saws.........

If there is mains power right next to you, why not use a plug in one? No need to keep charging batteries.

[@BenDiscoe]

Curiously, they simply don't make powerful plug-in saws. They top out at 15A, which at 110V is only 1.6 kW. These 20" battery saws (Milwaukee, Greenworks Commercial, Ego) easily pump over 3 kW, this new Milwaukee even claims over 4 kW with the right battery!

[@shanepipkin4041]

[@americandream_89]

Do they make an industrial one to compare to this? If so I haven’t seen one.

[@shanepipkin4041]

@americandream_89 not sure I do know the top handle battery is commercial

[@americandream_89]

@ I think currently that Milwaukee is the king of battery chainsaws. None of the others that I’ve seen offer over a 50 cc competitor. And most of them run a 18 inch bar a couple of them run a 20 but don’t have the power of the Milwaukee.
