@bertbrei2950 HI Bert. Bill is a retired electrical engineer. He did everything to try to salvage the thing. I have a Tool bag that has the dewalt wall hanging clips mounted to wood. One side for charged and one side for discharged. Each battery is numbered to the corresponding mount. This way, I can keep track of every battery. Expensive oops.

My only peave with all the battery pwered equipment is ; They should all offer an adapter So that if you wanted to use a power cord ( Extension cord) You would have that as a back up.

@@InTheWoodyard planned obsolescence (greed) will be one of the contributing factors that will bring America to it's knees in the not too distant future.
Just from watching you Chris, I see you were putting more pressure on the electric and it handled it pretty well with the torque. You are converting slowly, first the snow blower, then the solar battery and now chainsaws! Nice!
This would be nice to have around with all the rest of the Milwaukee equipment I’m adding to the stable. Funny it comes up as it’s been crossing my mind since the stihl electric has been out.
I bought one of those cheap pea green chainsaws (Ryobi) because I have a bunch of their batteries last year. Use it at our mountain cabin property. It works pretty well. I carry 3 large batteries in the SXS and get a couple hours worth of cutting aspen logs. It cuts slower than my Husqvarna saw but also is a lot quieter. I certainly wouldn't use it for day in, day out use but for occasional use it's ok.
hi there i liked Milwaukee till the would not cover a warranty. it was on 2 of there 12.0 batteries . 225 each to repair though , it was a long story . but very unhappy with them ,that 12.0 has problems i found out later on the net , looks like a nice saw john
The best thing about the battery saws are according to the boss lady is she doesn't have to pull the string and prime the thing to start!! Handy as heck for the quick stuff!
I have a DeWalt 12 in one. Really handy if you only have a couple of branches to cut. There is a problem charging the battery. Aif your using it the battery gets warm so you have to let it cool before you can charge it.
Sweet, I think they got into it for Carpenters, to trim prefabricated wooden frames, they just clean the non required timber with a Milwaukee or other branded electric chainsaw.😊
My buddy has one and saw it for the first time a few weeks ago, granted he doesnt do trees very often (and it showed lol) he seemed to like it. The biggest question is how many cuts will you get from a battery. I'm all for battery powered equipment if it makes sense. In my line of work it seems theyre really pushing battery powered everything. Ive wanted a Sthil battery powered set of articulating/extending hedge clippers and the tool wasn't too bad but the batteries were crazy priced and the battery pack that goes on your back was very expensive. Also wanted to try a battery operated sting trimmer because we usually end up having fuel related issues right around the 1 year mark but they only seem to last for 30-45 minutes and with adding a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th battery...I could buy about 7 new string trimmers. Battery powered equipment is perfect for the home owner with an average property but not for me.
I believe the specs are 150 cuts on 100x100 mm on a 8,0 ampere high output milwaukee battery. Put a 12 amp high output in there and you'll have a larger "tank". I see this as a great tool around a farm/homestead or where there is power outlets. If you are a heavy worker you need a couple of batteries to rotate. But out in the woods there are ofc problems. Going all day long I still see the petrol variants being of better use. I'm getting this one because I'm gonna use it around the house. Makita makes an absolute beast that does 20m/s compared to this 12,4 m/s. Better be careful with that one. It cuts through protection fabric pants faster than you can say "I cut ny main artery".
Battery powered saws have been getting really impressive. Mom bought one a few years back that is nearly useless. Things have really changed the last few years. I know I have seen a newer Stihl that probably keeps up just fine with a 50cc class pro saw. In the garage I rarely use my air impacts or ratchets anymore. The battery ones I have from Snap On and Milwaukee are so much more convenient then dragging a hose around and not having to fire up the air compressors. Same with the sawzall. I don't use the corded Milwaukee ones I have much anymore since I have the battery Milwaukee. I actually have a couple others from other brands too but they never get used.
Hardly see anyone using air impacts anymore, but I had to get a Honda Pilot crank bolt out and only a big air impact worked. Milwaukee battery impact got really hot I was worried it would damage it. Air powered not much to damage in the thing.
I went over and subscribed and watched 2 videos so far. Very informative! Question Chris, would you buy this as a primary saw for an older homeowner? ( perhaps a gift for my dad)
I want one of these for occasional yard use. Can’t decide between this Milwaukee or the Dewalt. I’m not invested in either battery ecosystem yet so I’m open to just the best overall saw.
@@InTheWoodyard Yep, I only use Milwaukee tools because of a last job and I like them too much to want to switch. The amount of money I have in them is also a factor.
I'm using a 16-inch brushless Makita. I have eight batteries and two double chargers. This amount of power keeps me cutting all day long and I never run out of batteries. My saw starts every time I put a fresh battery on it. I have not started my dinosaur burners since I bought this battery-operated saw. My father has now threw in the towel and left his farm Boss dinosaur burner sit and purchased a Makita battery operated chainsaw. After the first day of cutting with it he wishes he would have bought it a year ago when I bought mine. For a homeowner or someone who only cuts occasionally a battery-operated saw is no brainer. I even stopped at my aunt's the other morning and had a tree completely cut down while she was still asleep. Just try to do that with your dinosaur burners. The only person in the world who enjoys listening to a chainsaw run is possibly the guy using it. Definitely not your neighbors. I choose Makita because it is made in the Georgia USA. I also have some really old lithium ion batteries that still work. Some of my lithium ion batteries that Makita made from 2005 still hold a charge and get used on the regular.
Nice video Chris. Battery saw looks impressive but sounds like a dentist drill. My son has a DeWalt and I've used it a couple of times. Torque is crazy good but the sound gives me a brain freeze. As with most things battery-time is the real test as to reliability or cost of replacement batteries. GNI
765 now has 1,100 subscribers. I have used corded electric chainsaws and they are good if you have power. These new solar generators make power a lot simpler.
The battery operated chainsaws have come a long way. I use an Echo battery operated chainsaw for trimming logs on the firewood processor and an Echo blower for cleaning up the firewood processor after using it.
If i was a climber, and certainly am not. I would think it would be an ideal saw. Never have to pull a rope to start it, and easier to change a battery then refuel. The only issue i would see is remembering to refill the bar oil. Cuts well, light, quiet and efficient.
Best electric I have used is the 18” EGO. With a sharp chain, it cuts quickly. The problem with them is you need like 3 batteries. They take time to charge and it stinks to stop just because of that.
Just purchased the ego 18”. I had 2 batteries from the snow thrower and the saw came with 1 and another charger. It cuts very well. My Husqvarna 372 xp isn’t needed all the time while I’m processing wood around the yard.
I don't know if it is so, but I have read that chainsaw chaps will not stop a battery powered saw. Something about the torque and the way the power is delivered without the "pulses" that are part of a piston driven engine. Maybe someone else can comment, but it may be necessary to be especially cautious if the safety gear will not, in fact, protect you(?)....
maybe the gas engine at or before TDC is at a low enough torque that it stalls easier....dc motors= nice steady torque...just ask a submarine driver...
One thing about brushless electric motors is they always outperform a gas engine because they have 100% HP at any RPM. Where a gas engine only makes 100% power at a narrow RPM range. This is why a Tesla can blow the doors off most gas engine cars in the 1/4 mile. The issue will always be how long can the battery last.
That saw starts on the first pull every time after it's been running. Last time it was used before they did this video was when we took down the elm trees in my yard. So chain had 2 tanks of fuel thru it and chain was a little dull.
My Makita run circles around that Milwaukee. Makita is also made in Georgia if you like supporting the USA. If you weren't aware Makita was made outside of Atlanta. Give that a thought next time you are at the store looking at those ugly yellow and red tools ✌️🇺🇲
Would you be interested in my 12-22 eastonmade being shipped to the woodyard in next few weeks to use for couple days for videos it will have the tall 4 way , 6 way , and the 7 way box wedge with it just a offer lol I’m in Ohio would save me on shipping and give you something different for content I no you have had a 12-22 on there but don’t think I have seen You do the new tall 4 way Thx
That's a nifty tool. But it doesn't have the options I want: self-activated cutting, stereo in an air conditioned cab, back up camera, Wifi, etc. If they can make you pay $92/lb for batteries now, how much mercy will they show later, when you don't have many choices and you need a new battery? They'll prob be as sweet and generous as the oil co. execs are now! Then there's the electric bill. And the power plant air pollution and heat. They won't tell you how much more elec. they have to make to get enough to you to charge these things! A lot of loss in the transmission lines. Does anyone want to live under lines, or close? More 'warming'. There will be good uses for these saws, but until we run out of petrol, I'll stick with the gas powered saws! Now, if only I could find a decent gas can...!!
y m18 saw quit , 1 chain and 2 sharps in. Gave a couple of running fits then nothing. 5/1 19 purchase date.Too expensive toship, so unless I can hack it to just run, to hell with variable speed, I'm out. I could have had a couple nice saws for 350 plus for this.I do use saws in my bucket truck, this one hander would be nice, if it runs. I'm sitting here taking mine apart, nasty thing.Good luck.
I've watched videos of electric saw test on chainsaw Chapps they cut right through. Gas chainsaws the fibers from the pants clog up the sprocket and stop the chain. I'd wrap a pork butt in the pants see what happens.
Well, it’s because no one is making a big effort into recycling them YET. What companies are finding out though, especially with electric cars, is even a “bad” battery is something like 98% recyclable. If you want to invest into something, invest in a battery recycling company. It’s like how aluminum is so recyclable, almost everyone has a price if aluminum in their house today that used to be part of a plane in WW2, batteries will be the same way.
This thing is just a red Ryobi piece of doody. A Makita, Husqvarna, Stihl MSA 220 TCO, or Stihl MSA 300 would blow this out of the water. Milwaukee is just overrated, overpriced garbage.

Did you put the battery in a bag of rice to dry it out and see if it would work?

Best electric I have used is the 18” EGO. With a sharp chain, it cuts quickly. The problem with them is you need like 3 batteries. They take time to charge and it stinks to stop just because of that.

I would think that the chaps would still stop an electronic saw. Mabey should sacrifice a pair of chaps sometime for testing to do with multiple saws.
Maybe I need 2 pairs on then!

Hello!
For the speed test to be accurate you should include the time it takes to start the petrol saw.
That saw starts on the first pull every time after it's been running. Last time it was used before they did this video was when we took down the elm trees in my yard. So chain had 2 tanks of fuel thru it and chain was a little dull.
