Project Farm Tested, Echo 58V Battery ChainSaw Review and Use,

[@joydavis4087]

Thank you so much for this review. As an older lady, I can’t start a gas powered chain saw. So battery power it is. I too watched the same Project Farm video. I will be looking into where I can buy one. TY ❤

You are welcome, this video is over a year old and the saw still performs as well as it did then.

Really good rundown on the saws performance etc man, Todd’s doing a service to all of us consumers on his channel another good one to watch is torque test channel as far as power tools go impact wrenches drivers drills grinders air tool’s flashlights etc they test em and hold brand’s accountable for their outlandish claims on the box but ya Pf is a phenomenal channel

Thanks for the recommendation and appreciate the comment

Good review! Appreciate it! I bought one years ago and the saw itself still runs fine. The battery is another story. Two of them have gone bad and wouldn't take a charge and they're very pricey. Fortunately BOTH bad batteries were replaced for free under the battery 5 year warranty. All it took was a phone call.

That is great to hear, fortunately mine has held up so far. I appreciate your feedback and comment

I bought one more than 10 years ago (probably when they first came out) and have had the same issues with the batteries. The batteries apparently can discharge too far and won’t recharge because the charger won’t recognize them. I didn’t come up with that on my own, I did some research. So now I don’t run the battery completely dead, it’s easier to change the battery than buy a new one. I also have the Echo string trimmer, same battery and also 10+ years old and never a problem.

I have the same Echo chainsaw best saw I have ever owned this year I have cut at least 3 oak trees 6 cords and yes I would buy another one.

👍🏻

Project farms videos basically why I got one of these as well. Sure gas power one is cheaper, and lasts on the field a lot longer, but for how infrequently I use one, I don't have time to keep the carburetor cleaned and keep the fuel mixed and all that stuff while it sits in the storage.

[@goodlucktrying21]

Agree, gas and electric both have their place but the electric saw is so convenient, definitely money well spent. Appreciate the comment

worked great while it lasted. I used it a few times a year for a couple of years. I'm not sure how long I've had it, but it hasn't worked for a couple years now. The battery won't charge or the charger is bad. I haven't had time to mess with it, but they're very expensive to replace, so I've been hesitant.

[@goodlucktrying21]

Interesting to know. Fortunately mine is still going but I have worried about not using it for long periods of time. Seems as though inactivity is not good for anything especially when it comes to batteries. You are correct the batteries are pricey, be nice if someone had a battery you could try to see if that is the issue.

Echo is the best battery saw.

I, too, have watched Project Farm covering a wide range of product testing/comparisons. I have an Ego chainsaw I bought for a girlfriend to do trimming. She’s gone but the saw still remains. Since I do cut firewood, I never use it, but it’s there. In answer to your subject question, the only battery power that’s changed my life would be drills, impact drivers, and a wrench (mainly Milwaukee and Bosch). Their convenience is too positive to ignore. Saws not so much as they lack both power and RPM. Grinders drain the battery quickly. I will say this, I do like the smaller leaf-blowers (the Ego was my first - Milwaukee will be my last).

[@goodlucktrying21]

Mark I guess a persons application plays a big role but boy are you right about the world of drills and impact drivers. Lastly, I gladly think the gas saw is with us to stay and they sound a lot better! Appreciate the comment as always

[@keachmister]

What the heck is the part that came with the CCS-58V in the operator's manual bag.? Do you recall? It's a silver metal plate with a small screw? Nice video btw, helped me purchase one.

[@goodlucktrying21]

Glad it helped, I am still happy with mine. I have had it for a while so I don’t recall what was in the box, sorry I am no help on that one
