But you CAN'T stick a battery chainsaw in the back of a pickup for a week, throw it onto the 4 wheeler, strap it onto the snowmobile and expect it to work right. Batteries do bad when it's 10 degrees out. They do bad when you don't have multiple batteries readily available. They do bad when your one charger is home and you are at the lake with a dead battery. Besides for the price of an extra battery I can buy a new saw. Home tools are great for batteries. Working tools in adverse conditions, not so much.... yet anyway.

It's possible to bring along more batteries, just as one would bring more gas. Four 12Ah Milwaukee batteries would go for 4 hours according to the no-load projections, though I wish there had been some kind of load test to get close to real world. If I were going over two hours, I'd probably use gas similar to how you are thinking. Cheers

This was one of my favorite videos you've ever done I use chainsaws often and have never considered an electric saw. After seeing this, I think I might get a dewalt for my smaller stuff. I was pulling for the Milwaukee bc that's been my favorite brand (again, thanks in large part to your testing), but the dewalt seems like the wise choice here. Your videos brighten my day ever single week. I mean that sincerely. I get excited when I get the notification! I wish I could contribute financially to your channel, but I can't afford it. That said, I still try to help by telling all of my friends and family about the channel and insisting that they subscribe and watch. Thanks again for another great video! Another idea: I REALLY need another impact wrench video! I loved your first one with the smaller tool. But I'm a mechanic and often use my 1/2" drive air wrench for lugs, etc. The best price I could find on one was for a Kobalt. Could you please do one for a 1/2" drive impact gun showdown and include Kobalt, Ryobi, Dewalt, Bosch, Makita, Craftsman, and Porter Cable? If not all of them at least the Bosch and Kobalt and Milwaukee and please include lug nut removal and torquing! Thank you so much for everything!

[@emotionz3]

I have the EGO electric and will never use a gas powered saw again. Based on its sheer voltage advantage over all of these saws tested I’d guess it would put every one of them to shame. Anecdotally the EGO is noticeably more powerful than my old 32cc Hitachi, which is 16” but overall a pretty poor quality saw. I’m probably going to give it away next spring the next time someone asks to borrow a chain saw...

[@martinforrey4988]

Just re-watched this vid from 2020. I bought my Makita lithium 24 v shortly after this video, maybe 6 mo or so after you posted. Already had some Makita LXT stuff, so your vid convinced me to try the Makita. After almost 3 seasons I am so pleased with its ease of operation I haven't taken out my Farm Boss once. It replaces my great running Stihl MS 271 Farm Boss. I only use them occasionally, and always put up my Stihl running it out of gas so nothing in system while stored. It still is finicky to start, but keeps running well. Its only use will be going out in the field/woods with others for longer cut times. Thanks AGAIN. I'm so very happy with my Makita electric.

I was hoping a Stihl electric and Husquavarna electric would be included. The guys in the industry say they're incredible.

[@ThePaulv12]

I was actually going to buy one of the saws in this review but had second thoughts and went with a Stihl. I paid pretty penny for my Stihl battery saw + 2x batteries, a fast charger and a genuine integrated face guard/ear muffs. In honesty it was over $1000 in the end. I can't recall the exact price but it may have been more like $1300. So.. the power of it is unbelievable as is the battery durability. I'm worn out before it runs out of charge and the shop said if you buy the best battery then this would happen. What gets me with it is the torque. I live down a long drive through a forest and got sick of the smell of gas in my car. I have 3x gas saws s,m,l btw. Trees fall across my track all the time and I could get one of the gas saws but the convenience of the battery saw is obvious. One evening coming home from work a tree was across the drive. It was about 40ft. On one charge with the Stihl I cut the entire crown and cut rounds ~15" wide all the way down the trunk to within 10' of the butt. The saw could've done it but it was starting to get beyond the capacity of a battery saw as the diameter of the trunk was going up to about 18" and continuing would've been stupid. There was still 2 bars on the battery. Expensive saw but here's the thing, you can actually take it to a Stihl shop whereas all the saws here, AFAIK, you 'ain't going to be easily able to get after sales service or backup. The amount of work that battery saw has had on it in 2 years is incredible. This says it wants to work. It is a damn handy saw and fantastically reliable. Edit: I forgot to mention, I gave a friend of mine a go and he was so impressed with it he bought one as well. We all live in the forest in an off grid location. All of us are on either gennie or solar. We all have multiple saws and use wood from out own properties for heating. I sell firewood from my place, so while not professional wood cutters we all know how to use a saw, swing an axe and manually split wood not occasionally but often - it's an endless task. I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about.

I have both the 20V and 60v dewalt chainsaws and they are amazing. I’ve used them both exclusively for over a year now. Hundreds upon hundreds of cuts per saw and the chain tightening system is easy. The biggest plus is I use the same batteries in all of my tools.

[@jaxturner7288]

@@robertthompson3447 as is the case with almost all brands now, so that is not really an advantage over any others. I’d note egos main disadvantage is their overall lack of tool selection. Sure they offer a hedge trimmer, about everyone does, but Milwaukee and Ryobi offer 3-5 different models of hedge trimmers. Do they even offer a SDS hammer drill? Everyone else offers at least one if not two models. Ego is limited to homeowner grade, light duty lawn tools. If you want to be limited by selection of tool choices, ego is a good choice. If you actually want to utilize the same battery across different tools, choose about any other brand and you can cut a tree, drill a hole, light an area, pump water, plane a board, inflate a mattress, hot glue some crafts, fix a clogged drain and drill some concrete, ALL with the same single battery. Battery compatibility across different tools is an advantage you absolutely cannot claim to have over any other brand while using ego. They are the hands down losers of that category. 👎

[@sum1liteamatch]

The videos you do revolving around these battery powered tools are always entertaining, I imagine most of your viewers are already set up with a tool brand and it's like cheering on your favorite sports team.

[@Randrew]

I'm already sunk into DeWalt 20V tools, but mainly because of some good deals I got. I'm not sure the extra cost of their chainsaw and 20V/60V battery is worth it to me for the fairly light duty limb fall that I usually deal with. I was impressed by Ryobi's performance, being on the low budget end. @Project Farm: One contender that was missing is the Hart brand (sold by Walmart). I'm told that Hart products are manufactured by the same company as Ryobi, so I wonder how the Hart 40V chainsaw ($188 list price) would compare to the Ryobi ($200) you've just tested.

[@boots7859]

My $89 Poulan Pro 14" has been a winner for me. I've got the Ryobi 14" $140(?), and its actually done quite a bit of work for me as well. For anyone not living in a heavily wooded lot, the Ryobi is more than adequate for most occasional general purpose use.

I threw my brand new 18" Oregon bar and chain on my Ryobi (my broken Poulan Pro wasn't using it any more) and slapped in a 6 amp hour battery I could not be happier with the saw. When you consider start time and re-start times of gas saws, the vibration, noise, smell and mixing fuel, Battery saws are awesome. I did not know about the long recharge time. The 6 AH battery lasts so long, I can cut up a 30' tree without issue. I use the same batteries for my string trimmer, blower and lawn mower. It cuts chucks out of the tree and gets clogged up a bit and I need to clean it out from time to time.
