I have Dewalt tools and batteries, so when I wanted a saw, I bought the DeWalt and am perfectly happy with it. Besides, the Milwaukee is just too big for my intended purpose. I'll use my gas saw if I need to cut bigger.
I've had my DeWalt 60v since 2018 and a Makita 18vx2 since 2019. Unless I NEED a long bar I set them aside and enjoy the performance improvement from reduced friction of smaller bars. My Makita got a 12" bar off my deceased small DeWalt and I also run those on the DeWalt so I've the same bars and chains for both. It takes minutes to throw on a longer bar when required. The shorter the bar you can run on any chainsaw the better it will perform thanks to reduced load.
I didn't even think of that, u was gonna buy the big 60v and this 12" because I have lots of small messy cuts to do and once every few weeks I need big clean cuts, I could just get the big 60v and a small blade and swap between them
I own the Dewalt and used the Milwaukee recently. My favorite battery saw is the Black and Decker. But it's the chain that does the cutting the rest is personal preference! I subscribed to your channel. Great content!
Bingo on one of these for off roading... I have the flexVolt version and I haven't pulled out my gas saw for like three years as, for what I do, it will handle. I also have M12 tools mostly for the travel trailer and camping. I got the M12 little chainsaw and it is a very useful and "handy" tool... And it fits anywhere. You will definitely want the 6.0 AH battery for that but it also is great for the inflator and grease gun and the other tools. But I have taken down trees roughly the size of the 12 inch bar with the DeWalt and a 9AH battery...
It does work great for camping too. My other SXS has a chainsaw mount and I have a gas chainsaw for it and it always leaks and makes a mess in the cargo bed.
Hi Steve. I almost wish I hadn't started watching these electric chainsaw reviews because I am a Milwaukee guy and everyone seems to agree that the Milwaukee chainsaw isn't as good as the competition, you included. Being that all my stuff is Milwaukee, and more importantly I like Milwaukee's color scheme the best, I have elected to get the Milwaukee. Whichever brand you decide to invest in , you'll find that some DeWalt stuff is better than Milwaukee, and some Milwaukee stuff is better than DeWalt. In the battle of the chainsaw, it looks like Milwaukee has lost. But that's ok, Im not an arborist or anything, so I don't really need the best chainsaw on the market. I am confident that this Milwaukee unit will suit my needs well Nice video
I’ve got that Milwaukee and it’s a powerful saw. It’s slightly heavier (lbs.) than my Makita but the Makita has less power, so I use it for the smaller cuts and high limbing and the Milwaukee for the heavier cuts. Great combo.
Both saws work great for different reason. I bought the DeWalt to fit in the cargo box for my SXS and it's great for cutting down tree branches one handed. The Milwaukee is great for larger trees around the yard.
This Milwaukee is quite a bit more powerful. However it also costs twice as much, pretty much requires the big 12ah battery (I smoked an 8ah battery using it in the saw), and it isn't as handy for small stuff. They each have their place. I also now have the 20" DeWalt which is more powerful yet. With the two DeWalts the gas saw hardly ever gets used anymore.
Love the video, BUT those saws are not even in the same league, the dewalt NEVER stood a chance. Right now that Dewalt is $90 and the Milwaukee is $300
Did you pay attention to the video. We said we aren't comparing apples to apples. These are the two saws I have to test to see which works best to fit in my SXS toolbox to cut down trees on the trail.
Both work great for different reasons. If you need it smaller like I do to fit in the cargo box, I'd say DeWalt. If you want to cut down larger branches, I would say Milwaukee. If you already own a bunch of batteries, I'd would go with the brand you have already invested in.
i run milwaulkee tools,love them,the saw is plenty powerful for home cutting,and ive done field work with it and it performed with the gas saws no preblem,invest in the 12.0 batterys and you will love this saw.....
Yeah that's the problem though. It pretty much requires those 12ah batteries and they aren't cheap. No doubt it's the more powerful saw though, as you'd expect with the size and cost. Both have their place.
What’s interesting about (you people) & your alcoholism is that just a few years before the infamous potato famine, Ireland was the site of a massively successful temperance campaign led by the noted Catholic priest, Theobald Mathew. So successful was this campaign that between 1838 and 1841, their national alcohol consumption was cut in half.
I try to post the review videos on this channel when I have time. I have another UA-cam channel all about RVing and there's a lot of review videos on that channel. @RadarRoadWarriors
I said in the video, my friend had the Milwaukee and I had the DeWalt, so I compared what I had to show people the differences if they were considering buying either of them.
I think he was referencing the apple red color to the yellow/orange-ish hue of the "oranges" dewalt, just a goof not a slam (i presume)@@TwistedToolbox
Kinda weird review as both companies make the same type of saws and you’re reviewing two types of chainsaws from two manufacturers, it’s like comparing a hatch to a sedan..
This video is to explain the differences. The saws are shown cutting throughout the video. There are separate videos on each saw: ua-cam.com/video/2jmbJKkZJlE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/RdmAEZGNmS4/v-deo.html
@@TwistedToolbox Most of the misunderstandings were related to the nominal voltages and power output of larger packs, but after I rewatched the video, I realised I misunderstood some of the points you were trying to make.
Mountain Adventures, it seems to be hit or miss if they leak or not. This one just has a small drip after it sits for a while. I wonder if yours has a bad o-ring or seal? -Steve
@@ikemontel2465maybe he's looking for someone to do the right review this is definitely a terrible review he's comparing dewalts cheapest chainsaw the Milwaukees high end chain saw. If he would have compared the milwaukee to dewalts DCST972 or the baddest electric chain saw ever made by dewalt the Dcs677 that would be a good review. The dcst972 will shit on any Milwaukee chainsaw and the dewalt Dcs677 it would shit on all them easy.
@@MobileRVTechServices That’s the thing. There are so many duds out there and I need one that’s reliable. I had a Poulan/Craftsman that worked well for a week or so. I stored it for a couple of years and now it won’t start. The spark plug was burned, but even after replacing it, it’s no better. I’m looking at comments on Amazon and saws that are supposed to be good have fifteen percent failure rates. I’m no in a position where I can afford being stuck with another dud.
@@TonyHarper-j7f It sounds like a safe way to go about it would be to purchase the saw locally from a business that stands behind their product. Then if something happens they can take care of the warranty and repairs.
@@TwistedToolbox Thanks. I just like to do things right the first time. I bought a Poulan and it was fine the first season. Some time later, I take it out again to find it’s a boat anchor. A year before that, I bought a cheap electric and burned up the motor trying to cut a limb it couldn’t handle. Both times, it was too late and out of warranty.

@@johnnywishbone932 thank you
Top vs rear handle isn't a great comparison. Fyi, the reason the top handle has a shorter bar is their made for using up in trees, not on the ground.
Yes, I stated in the video that these 2 saws are for different purposes, and we are not comparing apples to apples.

I think I'll be picking up a Milwaukee in the future. We have both Dewalt and Milwaukee tools but more Milwaukee chargers and batteries.
Robby, They are both a great choice and if you have more Milwaukee batteries it makes sense to go with the Milwaukee saw. -Steve
So I have the Milwaukee chainsaw and I love it I use it all the time
Yes Ed, They are a great saw to have. -Steve

@@TwistedToolbox You are right, I was just putting in perspective for people the huge gap in price and quality and grade
Picked up the dewalt for 97 bucks at Home Depot thanks
That's a great deal!
Since you have used both saws, which do you think is a better saw?
Both work great for different reasons. If you need it smaller like I do to fit in the cargo box, I'd say DeWalt. If you want to cut down larger branches, I would say Milwaukee. If you already own a bunch of batteries, I'd would go with the brand you have already invested in.

It is a great saw.

@@plmn93 yup $$$$$$,makes for a great xmas gift! lol,.....cant wait to try the new 12.0 forge....im giddy
The Milwaukee with the 12amp hour battery is 14.6 lbs.
That's ridiculous weight for an electric.
DeWalt looks much better!..I like the yellow color on it😅,no,but seriously,I like more DeWalt!

18v Milwaukee > 20v Dewalt
60v Dewalt > 18v Milwaukee
@@DamionJR4923 for all out performance, yes I would rank them the same way.
Lol operating any chain saw with one hand is never recommended
And sometimes you have to reach out and cut a tree branch...
Of course not but we all do it because sometimes we just need to get the job done.
Too much talking can you show how fast it cuts and how long the battery last.
