Just ran the M18 chainsaw against the 80v Greenworks 18in saw. On a 16 inch log, (not sure what kind of wood it was, but it was tough to cut) with brand new chains. The greenworks took (my best) 30 seconds to get through. The milwaukee took (my best) 18 seconds to get through. Now, that was with the 12ah battery that has the newer 21700 cells in it. The milwaukee using 5ah battery with the 18650 cells was very very poor. So the battery makes a big difference when those bigger cells can dump the juice. Now greenworks plans on releasing an 80v battery with 21700 cells in it, but at the moment the batteries are just the standard 18650 cells. I should also note that the M18 saw cut out quite a bit if we pushed it to hard. Where as the Greenworks is a torque monster and almost refused to stall out.
I used to use two of the Dewalt chainsaws, 18v & also the 54v version (UK) and ended up ditching them both and reverting back to the Stihl petrol chainsaw. The battery powered ones have their advantage but Stihl petrol chainsaws are SO much more powerful and faster. Each to their own I guess !
I love milwaukee tools, why I love milwaukee tools because I can show up to a job early in the morning and not wake up neighbors like I would with the loud chainsaws so know I can get an early start.
There's room for both technologies nowadays. They both have their advantages at this stage. If I can get away with the same performance I'll go battery every time. I'm at that stage in life where I prefer having nearly zero maintenance and I hate going to the gas station for fuel.
@@catinthehat5140 it is usually 20-30 cents more! I have a carb that has not been touched in 10 years. I have several that will reach that mark soon. The going rate seems to be around ten years for a small engine carb with this gas. The last one I took apart had the accelerator diaphram hardened, but SPOTLESS!
Great stuff gonna go get me one right now, you forgot to mention all the differences though like not halfing to buy the 2cycel oil mix, the gas its self, the no need for head gear, not halfing to breath the cancer causing exhaust coming out right in front of your face, and ya don't half to try pull starting the dam thing ever time you want to cut something like you wear saying. Maybe try to mention though's things in your next video brother
I'm watching your videos, and intrigued... how is it that u get stuff sent to u to tryout? Also I recently bought a Honda lawnmower hrx 217 , ....this machine is backfiring...ive contacted honda, n they said I shouldn't be using this for my landscaping business, because on there site it states it should be used twice a week.. Do u have any ideas for me, or what the problem could be?

Keith I’ve been watching for a while.. you are a genius. I’m sure you can see it.. Everything is going electric. I hope it helps your business. EGO is the leading name brand. Stay strong thanks for documenting your thoughts ✊🏽
I didn't know EGO made drills, impacts, electric sockets, sockets, wrenches, saws, air compressors, vacuums, electric nail guns, soldering irons, cut off wheels, angle grinders, radios, electric rebar tying tools, sanders, routers, electric grease guns, oscillating multi tools, laser leveling tools, plastic pipe shearing tools, electric caulk guns, etc. I will have to see how EGO stacks up. I think I'll start with drills...
Now that you have been in business for yourself for some time, i am interested to know if the money was exactly the same would you go work for someone else, or would you continue to work for yourself? I ask this bc I have been in my career for 12 years, but I feel I have a natural knack for something else and have a fairly strong desire to do that thing full time. while I make good money now I feel in a reasonably short period I’ll be able to make and maintain the same money I am making now so I’m trying to decide wether going out on my own would be worth it with the stresses of being a new Buisness etc. please weigh in on this as I find your advice extremely insightful!!! Thanks for all your help man!
A screaming gas powered chainsaw is like a Carnival Barker. It let's everyone in the neighborhood know that tree work is being done and who's doing it. Free advertising!
I'd also say. One litre goes a long way. Battery won't burn you reaching long. But my hs81s are beast! Obviously ear defenders and your audio entertainment
When you want to cut! Definitely. And let them clients hear it. I got a frightening tap on the shoulder today and a Magnum in gloved hand in it's wrapper. I was grateful for the ice-cream but warned the old man not to sneak up on me full revs!
Your the man Keith! Should get in the habit of hitting that chain brake with your wrist. It’s a good habit and a lot safer Incase your hand slips while the chains still spinning
2 stroke dog! Want a fight... Best of 3. Freebie. Oh yeah. Ego are good. Love my Stihl 024av and Dolmar 110 from 1985. Be careful. My buddy had an accident and is off work a while Keith. Profound effect on me.
I've got a Milwaukie chainsaw and I'm kind of disappointed. It does have power and cuts a long time with a 12ah battery, but it throws chains more easily than any other saw I have had, and I've had about 20. Also that 3/8" LP chain is not tough at all. Hit some dirt with it and you'll have to do some serious filing or grinding to get your edge back. I'd really like to see this saw set up with a better bar mount and a standard 3/8" pitch chain. It would be somewhat slower, but I think it would be a better saw.
Hey bro . Quick question. I know you don’t do any mowing , but from what you know what is the best commercial mower to buy ? I have a older Dixie chopper and I’ve pretty much wore it out . I won’t buy another Dixie chopper . Love you videos bro they inspire me
I'm looking at a cub cadet pro x 48 in stand on. They have a sale right now on them since it's close to end of season. I'm buying one next year. I also like Wright stander but they are expensive
@@BRWfilms I will have to check those out . My Dixie chopper has made me some money for the past 7 seasons but she’s getting old . I’ve priced a scag but they are expensive as well . Heck all of them are really. But you definitely get what you pay for ! Thanks buddy appreciate it
@@natureboy2396 I like Wright and cub cadets professional stand on units I also like cub cadets professional zero turn sit down unit they made. I like gravely sit down zero turns Ferris hustler and bobcat is good also but the rest of the brands imo are either not so great or to expensive
BRWfilms I actually just purchased a scag tiger cat 61’ it’s expensive but it cuts awesome. I looked at those others you mentioned and I agree they are good mowers . I’ve talked to people who have them and they love them .
Nice music in the background. It looks like a toy at first glance. You could tell its slower but not dealing with gas and depending on the application being used maybe worth it
Timothy Wells I think he means the guy in the tree can yell down to grounds man under him if a branch is coming his way and the saw won’t drown him out
Let your petroleum equipment warm up a min before stressing Keith. I agree for light duties and convenience. But for real work. To run lots of batteries is expensive
I changed to battery in everything except lawnmower. Quieter, less embarrassing when starting as it never fails to. One tends to look like a complete Dick one cannot start a machine.
That’s a lot of safety gear for a 2” stick. I bought my Milwaukee chain saw for the side by side so if I’m clearing a trail the land owners won’t think someone’s cutting firewood hearing a chainsaw
Keep it going brother, your videos are great! Hope you get my humor! I own a landscaping company in Massachusetts, fun, fun! I wish you nothing but success!
Let's do a review of couple 14 inch saws. What do we have? 1 inch wood. WTF Like peeing in the dirt to try out Bigfoot to see if it'll get stuck in the "Mud" LMFAO
First of all Keith you shouldn't be drop starting the saw like that bro. Not on UA-cam anyway. 🤣😂 I would like to know how heavy the battery operated chainsaw as compared to the petrol chainsaw. I found you can do a lot more work with a very light chainsaw. It makes a massive difference.
my stihl throws a plume of chips and goes through trees like it is their master. I own an electric trimmer and it is problematic. the technology is not good enough for chainsaws.

The issue I find with battery equipment is expense. You have to really adopt the platform and buy batterys and chargers to use it all day.

75cm
losttheplot26 never good to be snuck up on
Trevor Phillips get echo is not bad either
You can bring more gas there not always an outlet but it make a good homeownersaw
Your the man Keith! Should get in the habit of hitting that chain brake with your wrist. It’s a good habit and a lot safer Incase your hand slips while the chains still spinning
I own both. The Milwaukee will do everything the Gas saw will, except make smoke and run out of gas.
Has anyone used this saw for carving. And how does it compare to other brands?
Keith the key to pulling that chainsaw or anything else out of a box smoothly ,with no struggle. Is by opening up both sides of the box.
I'm going to end up buying one of these.. battery 🔋chainsaw
I would hv loved to see u cutting over 14" log atleast. Branches are like cutting butter with any saw
I like that Milwaukee too thanks for the demo do you know if they sell chain quite readily I think they were thinner chain

Can purchase an rpm gauge and put the reflective tape on chains to compare actual chain speeds, to me it sounds slow.
Just watching you try to pull that out of the box was worth watching the video lol!

Only way be good or better is if the battery charged by solar itself?of course they won't do that..would be free?
Unboxing was the best part 😆
Nice little saw
A few days running with that chainsaw, should give us a better understanding . As you say keith, "Lithium battery technology is getting better.
I'll be honest man. It looks like a toy. But, if it has all the power and it's light weight, that is AWESOME!

Stihl all the way buddy. I find battery pack has NO power, I would prefer GAS chainsaws. 👍
How big is everyone's average regular use orchard ladder? 8 or 10 foot adjustable legs and rubber protective feet...
I love Milwaukee tools but I really don't think that chainsaw is that great. The Stihl seem to cut faster and better on your video
Very impressive cutting that 1" round solid branch over and over, did you work up a sweat
Whats up Keith...we've talked..before lol.
What’s up Keith 👍🏽 That Milwaukee chainsaw is not bad works very well
What's up Keith.. that's a nice saw
I changed to battery in everything except lawnmower. Quieter, less embarrassing when starting as it never fails to. One tends to look like a complete Dick one cannot start a machine.
I bought the ryobi 40 volt, love it
You should edc a multi tool.
At least a knife. Pocket or belt carry.
That’s a lot of safety gear for a 2” stick. I bought my Milwaukee chain saw for the side by side so if I’m clearing a trail the land owners won’t think someone’s cutting firewood hearing a chainsaw
In summary...the battery powered chainsaws are way more difficult to unwrap😡
Good back up ..I reckon
How many Kieths does it take to open a box from Milwaukee?😂
Hard time with packaging.😂
First coal powered chainsaw
I would not use Stihl bar oil I have had a lot of problems with there oil use the husky oil
Ego Power Plus and they are the better brand by far.
4:08. Huh, Ore-gawn? Like, the state just below Washing-tawn?
Use the chainsaw to cut the box open, lol
I sold my soul to the devil i knew it was a crappy deal but atleast it came with a few toys like a chainsaw lol! Praise TMH secrets will be exposed

Can electric one cut a big tree like the other chainsaw?
Bro, where's your utility knife?
not really showing it's ability by cutting 2 inch branches
i have more time on youtube... video was good.. but could be redone to make it better
