    I really like this saw, I prefer the m18 2826 aesthetic and ergonomics as well as the onboard storage however the Milwaukee chain speed is too slow and chatters on smalls and kills the regular m18 batt packs so I sold the red one as I do really like the 674 except for one thing, the one minute auto shutoff kills me, I get it if the brake isn’t engaged one minute shutoff is ok but when you’re moving around it’s just not convenient for myself

Appreciate the gift of being young and strong and able to do the job. It won’t last forever and it goes by so quick. I was a deputy sheriff for 23 years but my side hustle was a tree climber.

  • @libertarian1637
    @libertarian1637 3 місяці тому

    In running the chainsaws they really want 9, 12, or 15 amp hour batteries as while the 6 will run the saw it can’t deliver the instantaneous amps needed given the 18650 batteries it has. The 9 and 12 have 21700 cells and the 9s actually has better high draw cells than the 12s. The 15 has (30) 18650 cells that make up for the instantaneous deficiencies but they’re HEAVY given the 30 cells. The newer FlexVolt saws, 18 & 20, are good saws, with the right batteries, as they didn’t nerf those saws for run time and over-protection; the 14 is just too slow for its own good, seemingly to get better battery life. With the saws battery temperature increase under load can be more of an issue than actual capacity running down/out so they seem to want to limit the draw to below what the motor wants. These saws can outpace gas when they’re tuned for performance and kept up with cool batteries. I run a business and have dozens of batteries so it isn’t an issue but for someone not in the trades or with a glut of batteries these saws can really leave you wanting more. The best thing for me, other than the instant torque is the reduced noise level as beyond being quieter when running there is ZERO idle noise as they make no noise when not cutting. I didn’t eliminate my gas saws but I do notice I don’t use them nearly as much; though I also don’t cut what I used to. The DeWalt saws can adjust oil flow.

    • @ClimbingColt
      @ClimbingColt 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the info! I typically run mine with a 9ah battery but I do have a couple 6ah I'll run in it.

      It might have the highest chain speed but it takes a while to get there. Obviously any cutting speed test starts with a full throttle saw before starting in the wood.
