Thanks again for another great review! I can see tons of uses for this especially is you have a orchard and/or fruit trees in your backyard (lots of annual trimming is necessary). Couple questions: 1. What size battery were you using for your 126 cuts? 2. Is the bar chain propriatary or are there third party/OEM bar chain brands that fit this chain length 3. What is the weight on this with and without battery? 4. What is the RPM speed on this vs. the M18 chainsaw Personally I would have rather they make this a M18 tool. That would allowed the tool to have more power (i.e. less stalling) and use a larger Ah battery if additional use time is needed for larger pruning jobs. It would also allow you to easily change the battery from the standard chainsaw to the pruning saw since they use the same battery platform. Also, it would be great if you could include the Milwaukee tool part number in your review titles (makes it easier to cut & paste the tool part number into google to immediately do some price comparisons after watching your review)

I used a 4Ah battery. The chain is an Oregon brand chain. Not sure about the bar. It's just under 5 lbs with it installed, but I haven't measured it bare tool. Chain speed is 5 m/s with the M12, 12.7 m/s with the M18. Those numbers match up nicely with the speed test I did too.

I have the M12 Fuel Hackzall with a 9" pruning blade. It sucks for pruning as the back and forth ends up just shaking the limb and little cutting action happens. I much prefer a manual Japanese Silky saw for occasional pruning. Where the Hackzall did work well was in cutting smaller stumps down to soil level, and even below.

Coming from Ryobi brushless tools. I sold them and upgraded to Milwaukee m12 fuel for lighter weight and better performance. I have to say this little hatchet is awesome for its intended purpose and no ryobi sawzall I owned, brushed or brushless would cut as fast, using even Diablo demo blades. You’d have to buy a Milwaukee super sawzall to cut as fast or faster, and even then it might not even beat it. The weight and compact size alone make this a go to for pruning, not to mention its a lot more refined with cutting, sawzall is difficult to use for pruning small branches and the reciprocating part makes some cuts challenging. If you are trimming limbs and need one handed operation, an 18v bulky traditional style sawzall is not the best option.

What was even more disappointing was that Milwaukee has failed to let me know what was wrong with it.

For this kind of work I like the Black and Decker Alligator Lopper. It has two metal jaws and a chain bar between. Unfortunately it is corded, but the form factor is great for cutting 4" branches (and even a bit bigger). The jaws grip the branch while it cuts so you don’t have to be as careful positioning and holding it. It seems faster and safer than a chainsaw for this kind of work. If someone makes a cordless version of this I would be tempted.

I'm torn between buying the pruning type saw (this Milwaukee or Stihl GTA 26), or a small top handle chainsaw from Makita.. Pruning saw it more convenient, lighter, and better for one hand use while the Makita 18V top handle is more powerful with a longer run time. And although Makita is more expensive, you can use the regular 18V battery from other tools while I don't have any tools or batteries that use the M12 Fuel or Stihl's 10,8 V..
@DoresoomReviews2 жыл бұрын
That's a tough choice. I'd probably get the Makita if I were you since you already have their batteries. But if you're planning on only cutting about a 4Ah battery worth at a time, the M12 kit could be more of an attractive option. Plus, the M12 system has a bunch of great tools in it!

Any thoughts on this vs. the brushless Milwaukee M18 hackzall (2719-20)? The M18 version of the hackzall gets pretty decent reviews across the internet. I know in this video you used the brushed M12 hackzall (2420-20) and it obviously has less power and more vibration vs. the newer M18 fuel hackzall. The hatchet definitely lends itself to outdoor pruning, but with the M18 hackzall it provides you with a lot more versitility and is compatible with a lot more cutting materials vs. the hatchet. Also Milwaukee just released new AX with Carbide Teeth for Pruning Clean Wood sawzall blades which can be used to cut into the ground and cut tree roots which helps to remove tree stumps (which you absolutely can not do with this hatchet tool). Not to mention the M18 fuel hackzall is cheaper. I've seen people performing trimming with the M18 fuel hackzall so I was wondering what your thoughts on that were. Thanks for the feedback!
@DoresoomReviews4 жыл бұрын
I haven't used the M18 Hackzall myself, but if I already had it, I think it would be difficult to justify this M12 chainsaw too. Unless you do a huge amount of pruning the M18 Hackzall will just be way more versatile like you mentioned. It will be slower than the chainsaw though, since the stroke length on the M18 Hackzall is 7/8" and the stroke length on the M18 Sawzall I used in the video is 1-1/8", both at 3000 SPM.

The problem with trying to use the Hackzall as a pruning tool is that you need to be able to clear the chips, and a reciprocating saw does that very poorly. The blade might be just as long, but if teeth can’t get clear of material the saw will just stop cutting. It does great fast work, but can’t clear chips like the Hatchet.

The Milwaukee is $180 bare tool, $250 for the kit. Are you talking about all the cheap 4" bar knockoff brands on Amazon? I have a strong feeling you'll get what you pay for with those.

so the oil leak is normal?
@DoresoomReviews3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, some of it's just left over oil from the chain anyway. Every chainsaw I've ever used leaves oil behind to some degree, but this one isn't as bad as most about it.

Better to have that chain too loose than too tight !...

The chain look too big for it size I still prefer Stihl MS120c with slimmer chains.
@DoresoomReviews3 жыл бұрын
The motor is plenty strong to handle a chain that wide. The gauge on the M12 bar is 0.043", same as the Stihl MS120c. Any smaller and you're in non-standard gauges and the cost of replacement chains will go way up.

For $250, it should be able to pay it's own rent.

Hacksaws are for metal, anyway.

Hackzalls are for metal, wood, pvc, etc. - pretty much anything as long as you pick the right blade. Pruning branches is a very common application.

I saw a video a while back where a guy swapped the 10" M18 pole saw bar for this one and it still worked fine.

Was there any juice left in the battery after those cuts or did you run it dry?
