    Cheers for this guys, good to hear they have a heavier chain gauge. On the oil leak “issue” with the earlier models: I’ve had literally dozens thru my shop with users claiming they leak: none of them leaked when testing them properly (cleaned first, on blocks, full tank, left for a week or more). They wick oil from oily sawdust, same as every other chainsaw. Good to see the traditional outer cover with 2 nuts tho: lots of users didn’t manage the other covers well. Gotta check them often, especially if you’ve been burying the tool, tearing a shrub apart. Like most chains, they don’t handle side pressure well when running.

    Great present. Just a suggestion in editing, the sound on the PIP videos covered up your commentary as well as some of the presentation when mentioning the accessories. We couldn't see what you were referring to because the video was covering. Also some of the talking over each other we missed part of the comments. Great presentation guys. I'd love a chance to cut with you guys in Australia.

    My DeWalts leak like horribly. I own the original 12”, 16”, the new 18” and 14” along with both pole saws and all but the 14” pour out all their oil if you leave it in the saw. I’ve gotten used to just draining my oil out of all my DeWalt saws. The biggest issue I have with the saws, other than oil leakage, is the difficulty it is finding spare chains as their sizes are odd.
    I have dropped a lot of trees over the years and cleaned 2 acres with a mix of gas and battery saws and everyone wended up loving the 16” original DeWalt for bucking on the ground with the 12” being perfect for up in a tree. Felling trees was OK for smaller trees with the 18” but we still stuck with gas for dropping most. I prefer the 9 Amp/Hour batteries as a good mix of power, weight, and run time vs. heat build up and with over a dozen and fast chargers you can cut a reasonable pace all day.

      The Dewalt Dcs677 the 20inch version with a 15ah battery cuts faster than my Ms271 it all depends on what chainsaw you have you have the smaller dccs672 with the 18inch bar and Chain it doesn't have as much power as the Dcs677 with the 20inch bar and Chain.

    I believe you switched accidentally a sprocket covers as beefier one on the left is supposed to have that gray 20" bar and cover with teeth - so double line of those metal teeth. While smaller DCMCS574 should have yellow bar and no teeth on cover.

    Any complaints with performance with the 9Ah aside from run time? I've got several of the 9-12s and would always have a spare *at hand. Wouldn't necessarily want to go 15 if I could help it since it doesn't fit on all FlexVolts.

    Spikes also called Dogs.
    I bought the Milwaukee version with 16" bar a few years ago on the back of your review. Yes it was slightly less powerful than the yellow saw, but I preferred the normal holding nuts vs DeWalt's plastic ratchet. It's a great camping / light duty saw.
    Fast forward to today and I'm looking for something bigger: The Stihl 500i or 660, or the Husky equivalent.
    FWIW the Milwaukee 16" (or at least my one) leaks bar oil when stored on a flat horizontal surface. *EDIT* "de Fault" has a good point below: " They wick oil from oily sawdust". The two occasions where my red saw had oil collect below it, it had not had the bar removed for cleaning.

      The dccs677 is dewalts newest saw its the most powerful electric battery saw ever made by any company. And it's for medium duty work this thing will cut through a 20inch trunk like it's nothing and it has way more torque than my stihl ms 261.

      I can tell it has way more torque because I can press down alot more than I can with my 261.

It's coming watch what I tell you.

    Replacement chains for the 20" can be hard to find, which is a minus in my book. (They can be special ordered.) I have the 18" and I love it and I can get replacement blades at my nearest hardware store. Also, I'm glad to see you all wearing chaps in your videos, but I don't know if they can stop high torque electric chainsaws.

    So if one battery can give you 40cc, a dual battery should be able to give you 80cc. Then you just need an electric truck with power in it, like a F150 Lightning, or Cybertruck to charge one set of batteries, while you are burning through the other.😊
