Dual battery is to compensate for keeping everything on one battery platform when needing higher voltage to make the tool work. Ryobi has a 40v 20" chainsaw, that isn't much different than this, outside of using a 40v battery. Ryobi and ridgids 18v chainsaws stop at 12", milwaukees fuel is 16". You also have to realize how much flak makita is getting for the 40v line and how milwuakee can avoid it simply by keeping everything m18. Dewalt and metabo hpt had the right idea of making multi-volt batteries, which also solve this issue of higher voltage requirements on a single battery, but I'm not sure m18 was ever designed with multi voltage in mind.
The real problem with electric is the fact that these companies think it’s still fine to use the Gillette model for batteries. I just picked up two ego 6 Ah batteries, saved $150, and got a free two port charger at 800 CFM backpack blower! ;) The simple fact of the matter is that batteries do not have the energy density of gasoline so you need a pile of them and be charging 3,4,$500 for a single battery is completely insane. I absolutely despise small engines with every fiber of my being, so I’m all for electric everything and the downsides that come with it, but the only batteries I’ve been getting have been included with kits because it’s literally the same price as just buying the batteries. (Or LESS as I mentioned) It’s more tolerable when you’re paying two dollars for a $.30 razor cartridge but paying $500 for $150 battery doesn’t flow through the pocketbook the same way.
will the new quick lok attachments work with the old quick lok power head? i just got the home depot deal on the quick lok pole saw, extension, and m12 hedge trimmer. thanks TRZ.
$900.00 for a heavy chainsaw, I bet we don't see those flying off the shelves. And that giant battery for the blower. Charlie: Hey Clint why are you so worn out? Clint: I've been using those heavy ass Milwaukee tools, call 911.
But compared to a typical gas powered chain saw it is probably a good bargain. But as for me I prefer the sound of a gas powered chain saw, all day, every day. (Not that I ever used any of them, lol)
For the occasional use homeowner who lets their saw sit for a long time battery is the way to go. If you let those fuel powered saws sit they gum up and don't run right. Pop a fresh battery in and it's ready to go.
The mx fuel blower makes absolutely no sense, the m18 backpack is already so close, and ego's pro kit is miles ahead of both for 900 dollars and it comes with 2 batteries and has 2 active battery ports. Ego has also come out with a 6 port 1500w charger, that essentially replicates the built in charger for their zero turn, and it's daisy-chain-able. The mx fuel batteries are 72v, while ego is 50.4v, and the mx has access to 21700 tabless cell batteries while the ego is limited to 18650s. There's no reason ego should be ahead with a 2 year old product. Even greenworks for that matter has more powerful 54 and 72v backpack blowers than this mx. Overall it will be a doa compliance product, their own m18 blower will do way better in the market
You're not wrong. I have no issue with said death. My issue that it is being FORCED instead if letting the market do it through a "superior" product, which electric currenly IS NOT.

20 minutes for battery as expensive as the MX is ludicrous lmao
For a chainsaw I feel like fuel is the right way to no. Not battery powered.

Good video Clint!
I would burn through so many batteries doing my yard lol. And most of my property I'd wooded and I don't touch that
Yeah, was surprised to see only 20 minutes brother
@ToolReviewZone I think the tools have evolved beyond the batteries again. Like when they tried tk have circ saws on the nicades lol
It's better for occasional light user who doesn't want to fool with fuel mixes.
whats the link to the page you are looking at?

That's in the price range to compete with Stihl battery chainsaws. Wonder how well they'll sell.
I do like batter tools. But still love my gas stuff. DGAF what rules come down the road. Politicians are not authority. They are servants.

Buy a feral saw for that money that will stomp it
what's a feral saw? Where do I see it?

Yeah!!
18 plus 18 equals 40
Unfortunately the death of gas is straight political, that’s all I’m gonna say about that…lol!

Yea, bring back gas powered impact drivers plz 😂😂😂
@@chrissauter7501 yup, it’s that FORCED compliance part where I have issues!
If the brand wasn't red could you imagine how much more they would sell they would probably be the leading brand in our opinion
“Our opinion”?! wtf are you to use the royal “we”?? 😂
What are you on about?
Dude must be a flex or dewalt fanboy 😂😂. Poor guy
Do not like red of any kind
You sound insecure
🇨🇳🐂
Poor lil guy must be a dewalt or flex fanboy 😂😂
@@AllTattedUp13EGO makes better outdoor power equipment than pretty much everybody else.
@@DamionJR4923 ok, your point? Who mentioned ego 🤷♂️😂 but i agree. 👍
