BATTERY VS GAS Head to head

HEAD TO HEAD
GAS vs BATTERY
-
As you can see the Hatchet M18 pruning saw chews through the wood faster than the gas chain saw.

Of course the carburetor is off trim, and the chain is dull. But i get it, battery is simpler. But for high rate productivity, nothing beats a good ole gas chain saw.

[@carpediem4887]

This is not a comparison..is a sales pitch!

Milwaukee really did echo dirty on that one. Just show the new saw. we dont need a comparison that is obviously rigged

[@dadeftones7]

They could have even used a lil pulan with the correct 2 stroke mix

[@oli.l4445]

As a professional arborist for 23yrs I know this test is a set up. The petrol saw is a poor quality saw with a blunt chain. The electric saw, they are trying to promote, is brand new and most importantly sharp.

[@dandemeester1656]

It's funny, our fire hall bought a shit ton of electric tools from Milwaukee and none of the saw's could keep up or perform anywhere near as good as gas powered.

[@benvoncannon7430]

Well. At least didn't have to wake up the whole. Neighbor hood

Can't you see how fucked up that chain is? It's bouncing ffs.

[@Matriarchy_Feminism]

No. Best one

[@sergiv5613]

The guy with the electric one is pressing really hard, while the other guy is just holding it up and letting gravity do the work. Also, I like how the gas one took two tries to start, very nice touch to the performance.

[@OUTDOORS55]

How about I provide the gas chainsaw next time?

[@zack6892]

Just had to run it so rich it won't even stay started without full throttle. Honestly it would have looked better to lose only a little to a good running top handle then to be a few seconds ahead of a saw that won't even run.

[@KadiFarms]

20 min later…… one of them is still running.

[@LetterToGodFromMeToYou]

Takes three batteries to work all day with electric. Takes less than an hour to charge all three for the next day. Try it out, you'll be surprised.

[@Chillfam]

​@emp5352 I'm going electric. Gas has too much problem. 😅

[@ShadowOfDeadRhodes21]

Yeah the gas one is still running 20 minutes later. fill up on the gas one and you don't have to fill it up for the next couple of days unlike the batteries. The batteries don't actually last that long either though even if you keep recharging them. Every time you recharge a battery it will run out of juice more quicker than the first time you used it

[@ShadowOfDeadRhodes21]

Batteries only last a little less than a month until you have to buy new batteries which would cost more to do that than just to keep filling it up with gas

[@ShadowOfDeadRhodes21]

Batteries for chainsaws are expensive

[@johnsmith-bo2cz]

I have a dozen gas saws the m18 chainsaw is awsome

[@edschissel9109]

Any good two stroke will smoke the Milwaukee. They used the biggest piece of shit saw they could find for this test.

[@kollinspencer847]

exactly!!

[@uriahotten3895]

Never start your saw with the chain brake on. If you feel the need to do so, then you shouldn't be operating a chainsaw to begin with.

[@jonnysnipes3123]

Ikr I never used my chain break ever when starting. Only time I ever used it was if I’m leaving it running and I’m walking away a good 50 ft from it to move wood or if I’m climbing a tree and it’s hanging other than that if you use the chain break when starting or you put your boot in the handle when starting you’re an ametuer lol

[@bmw328igearhead]

I got a frenchman for a friend, always clicks the brake on after every cut and before shutdown. Tried to tell him otherwise... he likes to pull his shoulder starting them too... I don't even give'm the chance now, I run an 80v5AH Greenworks 2.4kw, 18", semi-chisel chain.... smokes his 38cc16" and 42cc18" saws for cut speed. WAY less noise versus the gas engine screamers. Charges off a 400w inverter connected to my Corolla. I want to put another battery innthe trunk and 2 panels on the roof for constant charging. I can cut down and block up a 24" roundx25' long tree with two charges. (Block as much as I can round 1, while the battery charges, I switch to splitting and stacking, hour later, rip the rest of the wood with the saw round 2)

[@TheKrayusKorianis]

Try compairing this to a new gass chainsaw at the same price this comparison is not fair at all

[@GW2LearningResource]

I got nothing against either gas/elec but if this is how milwauki "test" performance, I'm not sure they're a brand for me

[@ayuse01]

Two years ago i converted all my Milwaukee power tools in my service truck from electric to gas powered.The modifications involved were not that bad for the increase of work capacity provided by it. Never going back. Gas all the way.

[@nickngaopraseut7599]

I love how that’s gas power saw is in the absolute worst condition… and a dull chain..

[@Sefiency]

It helps if you know how to use a chainsaw and sharpen the chain

[@MODERNMILT]

Maybe next time I’ll check the saws

[@jt7250]

battery fine for quick work medium logs, until your battery is dead. While you recharge for an hour the gas just keeps going all day long.

[@staceywishart9971]

He didn't even push on it that's why the battery chainsaw won

So the little battery saw beats the $80 dull chain chainsaw-chainsaw off of amazon.

[@nathanielbonde7716]

Let me have at it with a file and give the carb a little screwdriver action and try it again. Damn salesmen and their dirty tricks..

[@Cbgrandtheftauto]

I run a battery saw and love it, but I can say that I find myself sawing away at bigger stuff like this longer with the battery trying to not prematurely destroy the equipment and battery life is short compared to a tank of gas. A gas saw is just more durable of a tool.

[@chadrogers4635]

The gas one wasn't able to cut to the best of it's ability cause the chain wasn't sharp and the rakers was set to grab to much which slows it down. You can tell cause of the saw dust and the way the saw jumps in the cut.

[@Muffin_Masher]

That petrol saw is the tiniest thing I have ever seen, the engine is smaller than homie's hand :D and it is running like a bag of hammers :D The complete lack of ANY smoke whatsoever makes it very clear that there is NO OIL in that saw, also when it stops (both times) it STOPS DEAD, like it is, at least partially, seized. I could keep going, like about how the RPM isn't even half of what it should be, and how no doubt the chain hasn't been sharpened since 1994 and was just rubbed in the dirt before this demonstration. But I think I have made my point :D

[@DarkenedSilhouette]

The fact it can put up a fight against gas power is impressive. Give a few more years and gas will be in the past

[@AveragePootis]

Not only is the gasoline chainsaw badly running and with a dull chain, but the electric one is not even a chainsaw, its a pruning saw i think they are called. If yall are genuinely interested, project farm has a great comparison between a bunch of electric saws against a MS170

[@peytonhorn2833]

Lmfao I’m a Milwaukee everything kind of person but it ain’t gonna beat my stihl chainsaw

[@Larry_g_]

Coming from an experienced tree surgeon and he started his chainsaw on the ground no one rightly once the chain hits the dirt it will blunted within about two seconds and if he sharpen the chain it will cut through just as quick

[@AbouttheLawn]

Ole boy with the milwak was putting hella pressure on it too

[@dadeftones7]

Like 50000 pound feet of torque

[@johndoe3johndoe382]

How about battery powered saw vs gas after 1-2 hours of work on an actual job site in the middle of nowhere? That would be the real test.

[@kelvinsparks4651]

Now try it with a gas saw with the same money value as the battery thing .

[@matthewmbober4426]

Step one: Find the worst gas saw you can....

[@teamwkey9473]

I've never heard a Stihl sound like that in over twenty years of tree work haha. Chain was bouncing around everywhere too. Brushless has came a long way though, and the instant torque is impressive.

[@loucifer4205]

You really need chain speed over torque, project farm put weight on the end of pole chainsaws and everyone was slower with weight on it, the ones with the right amount of speed combined with torque were the fastest

[@machinist7230]

I think the biggest use for electric saws is the guy.who has to climb a tree and do limbing. Much safer than trying to start a saw 50 feet in the air.

[@mr_inventor1015]

Milwaukee battery saw guy put is whole strength into it. The gas guy had the weight of the saw do the work.

[@DirectoutdoorsTV]

That might be the worst gas chainsaw I've ever seen. Do a nice stihl 194 t or something

[@Funnyvideos25647]

If anybody carrying that tiny ass chainsaw in the woods they need to be using electric saws

[@davidperry4013]

Milwaukee should make a dual battery chainsaw with a bigger bar

[@chengliu872]

Could you imagine if they included the time it took to start the chain saw into the equation?

[@rockybosarge]

I have a Husqvarna 440 chain saw and I have a Kobalt 14" 40 volt chain saw. O love the Kobalt. For someone like me with shoulder and neck injuries yanking on a gas chain saw is almost history now.

[@videocardzrule354]

What kind of crap gas saw are they comparing this thing too? Is that Grandpa’s Poulan wild thing with a dull blade too?

[@lectricdolphin7265]

I like how the electric ones bucking spikes were used to apply pressure to the cut but the gas just let the Chester of the bar cut through

[@robertwentworth7405]

Look, the EV saw isn’t bad. But whee is it up against a Stihl, brand new blades for both, and of equivalent quality. You make nice stuff, test it a against nice stuff.

❤How to Order this Chainsaw

[@johnnywishbone932]

I love battery saws. I invested myself as a home owner. This is funny. My Buddy's Husqvarna rips he is a landscaper all his tools are top notch grade. My saw chews through logs his I recently used a Fuel M18. It was very impressive for what it is. I like to listen to music while i work. Batteries allow for that! 😊

[@MODERNMILT]

I’m glad you like the one you got especially because you can listen to music. The chain saws will only get better

[@charlesreid3305]

Let alone the fact the electric chain saw was rocked cutting through less material more quickly versus the gas saw whose blade stayed perfectly level, cutting a maximum volume at one time

[@roostersmechanics5131]

I agree with the last comment if that chainsaw was tuned up correctly it would keep up with that electric saw but in the end nothing beats the sound and smell of a good old two-cycle

[@БайВладунчо]

Make 50 cuts. Then compare.

[@aaronschoonover9240]

Its so clear when you watch the guy using the battery... that he actually uses some skill, rotates around the wood and sped it up. The guy using the gas wasnt trying. All for show!

[@Big_Rig_Butterz]

I bought a 100 dollar gas saw from a department store and put a nice chain on and that thing cuts like it’s slicing hot butter.

[@burnindessel2955]

Chain wasn’t dull on the gas one surprisingly but there was something with the engine and yeah electric would be simpler for the small things

[@БайВладунчо]

The guy who runs the gas saw is specially trained not to win. "You win, you lose your job!"

[@MP-lf4xk]

I'm all about diesel and gas engines. But I do like my cordless milwaukee and dewalt

[@haydenpletzke3015]

I don’t care how good the electric one is, I’m sticking with gas always no matter if it’s a chainsaw or not.

[@sportbikeguy9875]

Electric is cute for hedge trimming and cleaning up a few fallen branches. And thatd who these are for. But when ut comes to big boy saws, gas is still king... That might change in the future, but energy density in batteries needs to improve a lot

[@Gelato43]

See how the gas saw is jumping during the cut, they either removed teeth or filed down some of the teeth. The only way i would believe any of these "comparisons" is if an actual representative from the other company was there with a saw that is sharp and functioning properly

[@unharmedboss]

As a tree guy and a Milwaukee fan I’m saying no Milwaukee this comparison was stupid. I’d be more impressed if they put it up against the stihl battery saw that’s the same size as the m18 saw

[@cwanyoperator9647]

Now compare both again, With sharp chains in both. Or even better After start fill one with gasoline and plug second one battery to charger

[@rab3286]

Gas saw was definitely sabotaged with a worn chain and a clogged ejection port on the bottom. You can see this by noticing all of the sawdust flinging of the top of the chain rather than below. Unfair disadvantage. Gas chainsaws are superior, period.

[@scottwitkowski1298]

Now go over to a Stilh dealer booth and pick a comparable gas saw, but let the Stilh dealer operate the gas saw.

Performance is all about a sharp chain and chain speed. If you use a bad performing patrol chainsaw, its also an unfair comparison.
