Best Chainsaw Brand (ROUND 1 of 2)? Milwaukee vs DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi & WORX

BRANDS TESTED: Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, and Worx. Let's test 5 brands of lithium battery powered chainsaws: All of the chainsaws compared against each other and against a 16-inch Stihl MS 170 gasoline chainsaw. The chainsaws competed in 3 tests which include 2 cutting speed tests on 4x4 lumber and one test on hardwood. All of the saws were also tested for battery charge time, no-load run time, noise level, and no-load sprocket/chain speed.

Round 2 video testing chainsaws: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4inkoetetybis0 Publishing a day early this week again to see if it continues to work well. I’m definitely going to put together a round 2 video to include the saws made by “outdoor equipment” manufacturers, like Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, etc and compare them to the brands just tested. Which brands should I test? Never a sponsor and I always buy everything tested. So, thank you all very much for supporting the channel and for your video ideas! Also, a big thank you to Jim for putting together a quick access video library, which includes a list of products tested. bit.ly/2FCrBpk

I have owned stihl and johnsrude , both good saws, but now I am done with gas.

[@DT-kr1km]

@@steviemack9 - I probably should have explained better. I have a ego mower and a Dewalt trimmer. Both are great. 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.

As a former professional Logger I really enjoyed this comparison. The most important factor in chain saw operation is how sharp the chain is ; remember even a factory sharpened chain is too dull for productive cutting and it's a real craft to do it by hand. I would like to see you test different chain sharpeners and see if they match up to professional hand sharpening. Thx again.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ryanbrockmiller1648]

hand sharpening it is definitely a craft you need lots of practice at. I was taught by a couple or lifetime loggers and journeyman trimmers. they made it look easy. I was definitely not as good. lol

[@rustybird8803]

Me too ... I have that gift for hand sharpening

[@noahcallaway7574]

There is a huge difference between an electric sharpener and somebody who can hand sharpen a chainsaw. While I was doing Residential tree trimming I had a boss who had been in the business for 20 years who showed me how to hand sharpen a saw and I was blown away by how quickly he could turn a dull blade into A good cutting blade. He could do it on the saw without a vice in about 10 mins on a 15” bar! However, No matter how good you are it’s still sucks to hand sharpen a Stihl MS 661 with a big 36” bar. That’s the one we all dreaded!

[@robertjanko6709]

@@ryanbrockmiller1648 The new handsharpening kits from Stihl/Pferd are outstanding, you really dont have to be a pro to handle them and the result is good. Especially, when youre out in the woods, they come very handy. Greets from germany

ego is garbage unless u make six figures, and u live in a mc'mansion that takes up 3/4 of the footprint of the land u own, and u think driving a musk e.v. while still flying in a 747 to bring ur family to disneyworld on vacation is the way to save the world.

[@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. 👎

[@critter3745]

@Dcon : So, will you buy one of the ones tested ?

[@davidconaway2830]

@@critter3745 more than likely the Makita. The extra batteries that come with the saw are very appealing since they cost $149 a piece at Home Depot. This makes the pricey Makita a bit more of a bargain. I have an 18" gas saw as well but find the battery version a quick, easy and quieter option for smaller jobs around the house.

[@JayHutchG]

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.

My father camps frequently in Allegheny state park. No gas powered chainsaws are permitted in the park. For years my dad would either buy wood or just find fallen limbs. I decided to buy him a Ryobi cordless for Father's Day. He's a big gas chainsaw guy so I wasn't sure if he'd like it. Now any blocked trail, or anything that needs to be cut he jumps on it. It's almost comical how often he finds a reason to use this damn chainsaw. For something I got for less than $150 and last 45 minutes to an hour on a battery. Money well spent.
