I just keep the battery charged & I have a 2nd on on the tractor if needed. Best things about it no gas to go bad and it will start up as soon as you pull the trigger dose not matter if it is hot or cold out. I have bad joints and a gas saw was very hard for me to start. Just add bar lube from time to time and keep the chain sharp and the saw just runs and runs. It is a 16" not a 18" I just notice I typed the wrong size.

That makes it a good choice for you. It amazes me how many options are available today to get stuff done.
A tool or method for everybody almost.gg

Pretty good penetration! Un-jacketed too.
I would like to have one to keep in the truck, for moving trees out of the road. In the time that it takes to get my gas saw warmed up I could have the tree out of the way. I also could keep it in the cab as there is no gas fumes to worry about. (Spill pads for the B&C oil)
It also would be useful around the sawmill, and for other purposes.

If I remember correctly, Hunt was fairly impressed with his, I don't think it was enough to convert to electric completely, but it did very well.
I have a little one from Stihl, it's the best Father's Day gift ever (aside from my daughters of course!!) Super handy for anything that the 4" bar can cut. I like it because it truly is one handed, so if you are up on a ladder or reaching from the tractor platform, you can hold on with one hand & prune with the other. The other day i was up on the roof pruning back some branches that were overhanging the roof. I didn't have to get too close to the edge & felt very comfortable doing so because my stance was more comfortable. I could hold the cutoff with my left hand pulling it tight, then just toss it over the side.

We have a 16" 40v Husquvarna. We also use a 21" Husky gas unit. The electric does far more work than the gas unit owing to convenience. We have 3 batteries, keep them charged.
Property owner keeps another electric in his truck as do I to clear anything that comes down across the road when we are not about. Most often when we are going out on the trails, an electric goes with. They beat a bow saw!

I have the one Harbor Freight sells. Very handy for small jobs and it goes in the SxS when we ride trails.

I also have one that is/was a go to saw BUT they quit selling the Lynxx saw & you can no longer get a battery for it.
Mine no longer holds a charge for more then 15~20 min and will soon be USELESS.

You can nearly certainly fix the battery. They're sure to be 18650 cells inside. Check YouTube. Gotta be something. Maybe a litheli battery?

If you know about the Litheli battery, you also know it doesn't fit.

I want a battery saw pretty bad. My buddy likes his dewalt 20v 12", but that feels too small. So if I want a 16" bar, sounds like the deWalt cant use my existing 20v batteries. If I have to get new batteries and charger, should I just go with stihl? Tough call.
Echo also makes one. They are a good company and generally more affordable than Stihl or Husky.
I would look at chain size. I believe they all are running the tiny chains. If Icould find one with a 3/8, that’s probably what I’ll get.

Well the narrow chain is obviously on purpose, to reduce cutting force and extend the battery life. I don't have any experience with them, only have 3/8 for my bigger stihl gas saws. Are the narrow ones harder to sharpen?

Sthil electric chain saws don't get the best reviews and they are by far the most expensive.
Based on these reviews I am considering either the Makita or Dewalt.
Also, because of the low speed torque of an electric chain saw, most protective chaps are NOT rated for electric saws.

indeed! I love helping other folks here spend theirs too.
So now my question is, what is the difference between the DCCS670B and the DCCS670x1 ? I presume the "B" is the older model?

Project Farm has some good reviews, but there have been a lot of changes in the battery chainsaw market since those videos came out.
I ended up with a Milwaukee M18 - it got a decent rating, but I mainly got it because I already had a lot of Milwaukee M18 tools already, so I have a good stock of batteries. It's roughly equivalent to a decent 40cc gas saw.
The Stihl MSA 300 sounds like an interesting option. When coupled with their AP 500 S battery hey claim it's equivalent to their pro-level 50 cc saw, the MS 261. It does not seem to be available yet in the US (and I'm sure it's going to be expensive when it does show up).

If I am going to do a significant amount of work, I always have a gas saw (Stihl 462) and an electric saw (EGO 56V 18" saw.)
The Stihl bucks logs, and it far outclasses anything electric that I've seen. But the electric shines for doing limbing and bucking smaller stuff. The electric is lighter weight, quiet, and I don't have to fuel it or pull start it. Saves a lot of wear and tear by the end of the day.
