Electric Chainsaw - Milwaukee M18 FUEL Hatchet 8-inch Pruning Saw [Milwaukee 3004-20]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2022
- Just a few weeks ago we first saw this new @MilwaukeeTool M18 FUEL Hatchet 8-inch pruning chainsaw. Finally, we received our own and we didn't waste any time to give it a true test. Still cleaning up after Hurricane Ian, we have plenty of fresh testing material for this battery powered chainsaw. We powered ours with the 6.0 High Output M18 battery. Even after more than 50 cuts in a 4-inch plus log, we still had 3-bars left on the battery. You can get the Milwaukee 3004-20 M18 Hatche for $279 for the bare tool, and it's covered by a 3-year warranty.

Picked up the M18 version after the ice storm we had here in central Texas that destroyed our oak trees here. This unit absolutely made my job easier when I had to cut up branches that measured 2" to about 5". Great tool
Same here. Couldn’t find any chain oil, sold out everywhere. Luckily my neighbor had some. Almost went with the M12 but decided on this one. No regrets after seeing it in action.
Very cool. I almost sprung for the 12v version, glad I didn't. Now I'm thinking for a little more, you can get the top handle. It has much higher chain speed, which means a smoother cutting experience. But it's not apples to apples either. Decisions, decisions...... I guess getting all 3 is the best answer. I just can't justify it to the boss.
looks great, great to take with you on a ⛺️ trip 🪵🔥🎣👌🇳🇴🤠
Always great content, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Great explanations!
Thanks for watching.
Very nice review.
Maybe it was just my earbuds or UA-cam, but in the video that thing had a painfully loud high pitched whine to it. Was it that loud in real life or was it just the process of recording and uploading that changed the volume?
He over loads the microphone with his voice alot this is quite common. A better or separate recording mic might solve this issue. I know they make a few that are basically a smart microphone. Now the chainsaw screaming is pretty spot on those things have crazy rpm. There's one brand that hits well over a hundred decibels.
Wouw Wouw thats in awesome tool
It is very impressive for the size and the fact that it's only 18-volts.
For any Aussies out there thinking of adding this to their camper trailers, I just cut a 120mm diameter piece of seasoned ironbark absolutely no worries. I can’t give a long term review but out of the box it’s a ripper 👌🏼🇦🇺
I agree it’s def a ripper, I currently run the 2826 14” top handle which is a perfect small chainsaw in my book aside from killing 8ah packs which all 3 (12” & 14” Thandle & the 16” rh all kill battery packs especially the 8s) I have owned the 14” top handle as well as the 2727 16” rear handle which I sold and they’re actually all great saws even the 12v hatchet Is good just not quite as good as the 18v imo the 18v hatchet essentially can eliminate the need to own a chainsaw for 80% of people maintaining less than an acre or two and tbh the thing is going to exceed expectations in almost every situation, I haven’t had the issue of the 3004 killing batteries like the 2826 & 2727 either but regardless ****ONLY USE HO BATTERIES xc6.0 forge 6.0 12.0ah HD and VERIFY THEYRE STILL UNDER WARRANTY!!! ****HEED THIS 1 WARNING IF YOUR USING A MILWAUKEE CHAINSAW it takes 5minutes to check the serial number DOB and you’ll thank me later as I have killed two 8.0ah packs frying the “bms” chip
And knocked coulntless others cell banks out of balance and it’s always the middle banks due to the way Milwaukee charge system works IE : as soon as one bank hits 4.1 V. It cuts them all off and shows fully charged even if it isn’t that’s why some packs only charge to 3bars
Jimmy can I ask where brought it from.I am in erina NSW thanks
I bout mine from Tradetools. I know Sydney Tools is also a big Milwaukee dealer. Both will mail them out if you don’t have a store nearby

I have a 10 acre orchard and now I want one. Was really on the fence with the 12 volt model but sold with the 18 volt model.
I just bought one. I can envision a small velcro strap to keep the scrench in place due to vibrations over time. (Or zip tie)
Now we first SAW this
That was an awesome demonstration, someone knows what their doing. Thumbs up and Big thanks
Your take on this vs the Makita 10inch top handle? Makita is shorter with a longer blade. This M18 has a gear reduction advantage no doubt.
I love mine, I don't really use my big saw around the yard anymore.
Think it’s worth getting if I already have hackzall with pruning blade?
Great job as usual, much more powerful than my 12V Milwaukee Hatchet pruning saw. I really like the new 12" & 14" Milwaukee top handle saws. I have a really nice Makita Model# XCU06Z 10" 18V top handle saw but it does not have anywhere near the power that the new Milwaukee top handle saws have. It's built better & faster IMHO but short on the torque dept..😬 They're made for small quick cuts 2" to 3" branches anyways which most ppl IMHO fail to realize. If I'm up 100+ feet in a tree cutting branches or wood 5"+ I'm gonna use a good gas powered saw mainly cuz batreez don't last very long or overheat.🙁
When on a tree, your pruning saw should be used with less pressure, which means less torque! Makita designed XCU06 high speed low torque for that reason.
We cut down our dead trees and trees knocked down in wind storms. This baby chainsaw has made the limbing process way easier and much safer. We got the kit at Home Depot. It was $279 for the chainsaw, charger, and 6 Amp battery.

Been thinking about the M12 version for a while, unfortunately it was very expensive in the UK when launched. I would literally use it for what it's built for, pruning. My hope is that now the M18 is available, the price of the M12 is affordable! Regrettably, we in the UK pay far more than you in the US for pretty much everything!
Not necessarily true. I’d suggest SGS Engineering and Powertool Mate for Milwaukee tools. I’ve bought lots of them at incredible prices. It’s why I moved over from Ryobi HP stuff as the drill and impact were cheaper than Ryobi!
eBay!
@I S . I actually received mine this week. Got it online for a decent price I think, £244 for the kit with 2 6Ah batteries!
After cleaning my saw I was unable to get the cover back on. With just one bolt I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't set the way it should.
The sound of that thing is brutal on my ears. Good God!
Can you do a comparison between the M12 and the M18
I think this would be good with the 3.0 high output battery
Good review. I like it, but dang it's expensive. Was hoping for closer to $200.
The m12 is 199
how does it perform with the 12 amp battery and a 12" bar???
Great video Tim! Just a thought... why not make a side by side cutting comparison short of this vs the m12 hatchet... and whenever the top handle saw comes out. Do a comparison of the m18 vs the makita 10 inch top handle that's so popular.. again great video keep them coming!!!
We will definitely do some comparisons on the top handle, and we can't wait for that to arrive. We may run the M18 and M12 Hatchets side by side. Thanks for watching.
See my comment about them above. I used to be a lumberjack/arborist in the early 1980's...
So im looking at this tool for keeping my trails clear on my property. I have lots of small prickly ash birch ,Elm saplings that always grow into into my trails. Would this work if i grabbed the saplings with a gloved hand and then sawed the limbs or saplings of at there base. Am wondering if it would be to grabby.
How many bars did the battery have left after making those cuts
Do they make a hard case for it?
A short side by side comparison between this and the M12 hatchet would be cool to see, really like using my M12 but wish it had more power.
Both have their places. The M18 has more power, but it also weighs quite a bit more... which is a pretty big deal if you're going to be climbing trees with this thing, or using it overhead, or just for a lot of cuts period.. Less fatigue with the M12 since it's at least a pound lighter (depending on the battery you use in the M18)
A smaller battery it will cut out and easily too. So I guess that battery makes the tool give no craps.
This thing sounds like there's a coach blowing his whistle in the backround
I am stuck with purchasing a Milwaukee M-18 or a M-12 as well. No video comparison between the two. I am leaning towards the M-18. Can't go wrong with more power. Right? Just the price.
M12's quite a bit lighter (over a pound, depending on what battery you use in the M18).. something to consider if you're planning on using this overhead, in a tree, or any other scenario where you could benefit from a lighter tool.
Basically the M12 with the M18 on it. Nice.
Basically?? No not even close the m18 is far more powerful and has alot longer run time.
When are these being released in Australia? I can’t even find an American distributor willing to ship one.
I'm not sure about that. I'm surprised you can't get ACME, Ohio Powertool, or Home Depot to send you one. Thanks for watching.
Maybe I missed it, but is this thing supposed to use the XO batteries? 6, 8 n 12? I know my chainsaw doesn't like anything but the XO's
It can use any m18 battery but of course the HO’s work best
Yeah, it will take any M18. We ran it with a 5.0 as well and it very well. Of course, the HO shows better when you're pushing the saw. Thanks for watching.
An AWESOME tool. Wait. It's a Milwaukee. They make the best tools on the planet anyways. Great video with the best instructor on how to use the tool or any tool or machine. Thanks for your hard work 🙂
What are you using to hold the wood?
Super Glue! No, just kidding, we actually ran some long construction screws through the wood and into the stump.
Note: EVERYthing is extra: battery, battery charger; bar chain oil(other brands come with this stuff, Milwaukee does not). I had NO idea. I live very rurally and I had to do 4 different ships to get this up and running.
Kobalt just came out with 24v 6" brushless pruning chainsaw with auto oiler for 119 bare tool. It says, regular price is 214.00. I jumped on it and ordered 3 😁
Do you like the Kobalt? I was looking at getting one.
I only run Sthil premium bar and chain oil
Do you feel like it makes a difference? Even on these smaller saws?
Same here. And yes, it does make a difference, at least on Stihl saws. I run a professional tree service we use only Stihl saws. Something they put in their oils keep the saws from burning up quickly.
It makes a big difference. The viscosity of the oil is very sticky which helps it stick to the chain and bar unlike using other oils just gets waisted cause it don’t stick it just gets thrown off used motor is terrible to use but it’s better than nothing I’d say if you run used motor oil you might as well run dish soap
Weird whistling noise.
This saw is ridiculously expensive
My ex girlfriend had an automatic oiler 😏😉
🥰😂
The price is steep especially considering its bigger brother m18 chainsaws can be bought bare tool for sub $250. This tool should fall sub $200 imo but typical Milwaukee fashion they will price gouge us for a few years till it comes down in price.
That being said this is a killer saw that may of just changed my mind from buying its bigger brother with the 16" bar. The m12 hatchet looked good but a bit under powered for the job. At this price point i can buy a quik lock pole saw with a battery....having options are good but some make sense over others.
Usually cause of warranty it’s like you paid for two so they can replace the first one
@@aldomedina7999 i use milwaukee tools heavily at work and at home. I use their fuel hacksaw with wood blades currently to thin sapplings and trees 6" or less. It powers through them pretty good and ive abused that tool and its still kickin strong. $150 was a fair price. I dont think theres anything r&d wise over the hacksaw that warrants a sticker twice the price. With a bar and chain $200 seems like a realistic price.
You're comparing bare & discounted tool-only price to MSRP of a newer tool... that's not exactly fair comparison. Additionally, it's not cheap to shrink technology and make compact tools as capable as these (M12/M18 Hatchets) are. The full size saw probably doesn't cost them all that much more to make.
PS: Just ordered the M12 version recently for $160.
@@Justin-C more expensive because its shrunk down ya i dont think so. The sawzall was shrunk to the hacksaw version that is similarly designed and the bare tool is $126 on amazon now. I am not comparing msrp vs tool only models either. Seeing as both sit around the same sticker without a battery. The cost is alot more for the bigger brother. More plastic, bigger motor, bigger esc, bigger bar, bigger chain etc. The cost is way overpriced for this tool no matter how well it performs.
@@07slowbalt The sawzall/hackzalls are a much, MUCH more commonly bought & used tool, both have been around much longer as well.
Economies of scale apply - the R&D costs for M12/M18 Hatchet have to be recouped over far fewer products sold (a bigger part of the potential profit margin).
You may think it's overpriced, and perhaps it is for the DIYer/consumer use... but this tool is also targeted more at certain trades e.g. arborists / landscapers - and those kind of tools are often far more expensive than you think they "ought to be" - just look at the M12 PEX tool - it's a $500+ tool, and there's really not much to it.
Chain speed seems way to slow. Every video I see they are showing it used with the bucking spikes. A pruning saw shouldn't really need high torque for big logs lol it's a pruning saw. Kinda think Milwaukee missed the mark on this one.
Sadly its way overpriced for what it is.
Milwaukee really got its prices up lately
I agree lots of overpriced plastic junk.
Does seem expensive. Should be 279 with a charger a 3ah HO battery.
I see a hand or fingers being Lost on some ppl lol
250$ bare tool to much.
I would rather buy stihl ms180 gas saw .
The guy that names Milwaukee Tools last name has to be biden
Chain saws all have chips galore
