A great video thanks George. Ive had my makita battery saw 5-6 years. I can get it out the shed and it always works straight away. One benifit of battery tools is no noise. When we had a job cutting some trees down in a town. we could start 7am as the saw makes no noise
From what I know from my neighbour and their endeavours with a cheap battery chainsaw, great for cutting back well overgrown hedges and small tree limbs. And it was cheaper than getting someone in to chop them back or buy a big brand only to use it once every few years
I have a Stanley Fatmax battery chain saw, it runs off the Stanley Fatmax V2 18 volt batteries. It’s small at 14 inch but it can run a larger bar, it’s compatible with the Oregon chain & bars that are on my other petrol saws. I love the simplicity of the Stanley, it’s light, tool-less bar tensioning, very powerful & it goes for ages on a 4ah battery.
Petrol/gas saws are great if they're used regularly but if they're left for any length of time they can be a B'stard to start. But if you're only using a saw occasionally the battery ones are great. For somebody doing a bit of fire wood for their home , battery saw all day long.
I've got the big 36v Makita saw, it's great but really to make it really good for cutting anything big, you have to use 5ah batteries as a minimum, probably 6ah batteries, which are very expensive! It's a good saw, but I am contemplating buying a petrol machine to go alongside it, probably an Echo as heard good reviews about them
Hi George, That was a great demo and I don’t think there was any better man than you to demonstrate a bunch of saws 🪚 well done George . Take care of yourself and stay safe.
Great video as always. Interesting to see the comparison between saws. Don't call me out, but that Katsu is a bit dodgy not having a chain brake ( in case of kick back) especially for inexperienced people. Have a good week. Looks like its getting drier now.👍🏻🚜
My 16" Oregon Battery Chainsaw weighs just 5.4kg and has "Tool-less" Chain adjustment and best of all is "Self Sharpening". Good for c600 cuts. And Oregon are famous for Chainsaw Bars.
There is a thing doing the rounds that in 2 or 3 years there will only be one battery tool standard fitting, a bit like even iPhone now going over to USB C.
Great video, good comparison. I bought the smaller dewalt one and use that for the lopping up smaller branches of fallen trees before using my husky petrol for the bigger bits and trunk. Deffo got their uses. Have to say that you trying to start the hawksmore was brilliant 😂
On the contrary George, we were talking about a cheap battery saw next to the chipper as we were running stihl 461 saws on the ground. Still won’t get me away from petrol though 😆. And forget to pick the bar nose up when you tension your chain 😬
I bought a spear and Jackson 2 stroke about 15 years ago, 6 pulls with the choke on and 2 with it off, and it fires every time, only ever replaced the chains, £150 well spent. I've got an oragon electric 16' for logging at home, 80 quid from bandq several years ago, had new chains and bushes, but again a bargain, ideal for logging in the back garden!
Evening squire... hope your keeping well.. iv run 😅 a bosch electric chainsaw for numerous years yip.. the attached by a cord type 😅 flippin brilliant 15 years and one plastic drive gear replacement but just the usual bar/chain changes... excellent of of a generator to which is always hand to have about.... im just cautious about having loads of different batterys kicking about and not using them properly and killing the battrys lifes in the neglect. But i see there place to. Cracking work on the comparison vid.. stay safe 🏴
I dont know why they put such long bars on these battery saws, drags the power down, put a 14 inch on and see the difference, i had a go with a Stihl battery saw with a 14 inch bar, lasted ages on one battery, probably did 60/80 cuts in 3 inch wood and logged a 8 inch limb up into logs , was 10 foot long or so, will be interesting to see how the Katsu and Dewalt go on one charge
Hi George Nice one Battery saws come in handy the battery adapters may cause problems with the battery or tools over time mate has a log croc Thanks again
I'm sure that Hawksmoor was a bastard to start last time good to see you fetch a gallon of fuel on the off-chance. 😂.. Good laal comparison vid George we use a Husqavarna battery stone saw at work and it's heavy but it's got more umph than the petrol version...
Hey up George don't give up the day job mate, I wouldn't want any of those but would happily have that log, to be fare that cheep one is probably best pick for most of the uses you talked about, also when you tighten the chain always lift the tip of bar up when you tighten the nuts up
Word of warning George be careful with that Katsu saw and the Makita batteries as there is no protection on the Katsu stuff so it will fully drain them and then they wont charge again, so keep an eye on how flat they are getting and take them off before they completely go. Also its a 36 volt saw and not 18 volt
Interest video George. Is the sparkplug ok in the Hawkesmoor? Had a saw done similar, was the plug. Have you had any reports on the Parkside brand saw from Lidl.? Updat should be good👍
Gee that must be a top saw with that gold chain I definitely buy one and if it turned out tobe junk melt that gold chain down sell it and get your money back ,lol
Little hack to save yourself and your back just put the saw on the ground and then pull the cord all the way out and then let go. Not great for the handle but it does spin a lot faster and generally starts the B###rds
I’m away to be booking my license for the saw as I’m going to be needed during the summer and going forward! Stihl vs Husky…..if I’m putting down the cash to purchase one what would you recommend? I’m guessing stihl considering that you have one already. Great video though mate
I don't think there is a lot to choose between them, a bit like DeWalt and Makita, it's just personal preference and what works better for you. See if you can try both brands before buying and see what feels more comfortable 👍
@@GeorgeSaunders cheers George. My mate swears by the stihl and another is a husky man….I am a snob and do want a trusted well built brand and I’m also willing to spend the extra cash to get quality kit, I just need to pass the test first. 👍
Any news on the Katsu? I hear some of those cheap Chinese compatible tools don't have under-volt cut-off circuitry and deplete the batteries so low they won't charge if you don't keep your eye on them.
We have 6 battery saws, 2 x Stihl, 3 x Ego and a Hyundai. Still and Ego are very good, Hyundai rubbish compared to them. Hardly use a petrol saw nowadays as the battery ones are that good.
I BOUGHT a cheep battery chainsaw of the internet it was rubbish quicker with my eye whiteness shut knife lol took my petrol chainsaw down to cozzy corner serviced new chain cut all the wood for my wood burner in quarter the time battery saw sent back good riddance i will admit better than the one bought
The Stihl was sharp, and the Milwaukee just doesn't piss over the DeWalt does it, watch the project farm video ruclips.net/video/_aBZt8m1XkQ/видео.htmlsi=Iw-2hetEtyYL52BT
Nice review George 👍 ill forgive you for making me cough into my coffee ☕ when you were doing the start you b,,,,,d dance 🩰🩰🤣🤣 as you said none of the battery powered saws are gonna be used for prolonged heavy use 👍

Hi George. Well that was an interesting Video. But I must say that saw not starting was the best laugh that I've had in a long time. Cheers matey.
Haha, cheers Ken 👍

I changed over to E5 fuel and it makes a hell of a difference to that crap E10 on starting and running mate.

They are very handy to have about 👍
Plus that gold chain can be worn out to the pub. Cheers! 👍
It's well bling init👌
The Hawksmore could double up for smoking out rats...lol
Good, thanks George, now I know a bit more than I did at the start.
Petrol/gas saws are great if they're used regularly but if they're left for any length of time they can be a B'stard to start. But if you're only using a saw occasionally the battery ones are great. For somebody doing a bit of fire wood for their home , battery saw all day long.
For 80-90 quid one of those would be pretty handy in the garden for me. Cheers

Big ah batteries are a must👍
Just as important is a sharp chain
Hi George, That was a great demo and I don’t think there was any better man than you to demonstrate a bunch of saws 🪚 well done George . Take care of yourself and stay safe.
Cheers Fred 👍
Great comparison and review George, Thank You👌👍🙏🙂
Good one mate.
I have few big Stihl’s but got a Milwaukee one and was impressed with it for small work..
🤙🤙👍👍
Thanks for the video George great job on the comparison of chainsaw 👍❤️. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.
Cheers Michael 👍
Great video George, Dewalt always does great kit . 🔧👍🚜
Cheers buh👍

Have a good week. Looks like its getting drier now.👍🏻🚜
It's definitely dodgy not having a proper chain brake, certainly something to consider 👍
My 16" Oregon Battery Chainsaw weighs just 5.4kg and has "Tool-less" Chain adjustment and best of all is "Self Sharpening". Good for c600 cuts. And Oregon are famous for Chainsaw Bars.
Id like to see the Katsu with a decent chain, to be fair the dewalt and sthill will have good chains, the katsu is probably bike spares ..
Great video George. Haven't laughed so much since the wasp episode. Full marks to you, just brilliant. 😂😂
If I had that Dewalt saw, I would paint that little tightening tool a different color so that if it falls out, you can find it better on the ground.
There is a thing doing the rounds that in 2 or 3 years there will only be one battery tool standard fitting, a bit like even iPhone now going over to USB C.
That would make a lot of sense 👍

Brilliant video george
Cheers Dean 👍
22:20 great content
Project Farm is a top channel 😀💪🏼
He's very thorough 👌
A fair test 👍
I keep my gas saws well maintained and ready to go but when my chums aren't looking, I grab the electric saw every time. 😉

I've not had chance to put it to the test yet, once we get wooding I'll see what it's like 👍
Gas? I didn’t know you were American 😊
Been watching too much project farm 🙈
We have 6 battery saws, 2 x Stihl, 3 x Ego and a Hyundai. Still and Ego are very good, Hyundai rubbish compared to them. Hardly use a petrol saw nowadays as the battery ones are that good.
Cheers Ian, I looked at the Hyundai and wondered what the quality would be like👍
great vid especially the green saw start up-not
Get a bow saw George cheaper than a gym membership😊😊😊
That'd get the muscles burning 💪

You definitely get what you pay for!😂
How are you british not depressed all the time. I mean the weather is horrible, little to no sunlight.
The stilh was blunt and a milwaukee would piss all over that dewalt.
The Stihl was sharp, and the Milwaukee just doesn't piss over the DeWalt does it, watch the project farm video ruclips.net/video/_aBZt8m1XkQ/видео.htmlsi=Iw-2hetEtyYL52BT
I like stihl or husavana , interesting video
You don’t need batteries or petrol if you have a proper hand saw 🪚
Nice review George 👍 ill forgive you for making me cough into my coffee ☕ when you were doing the start you b,,,,,d dance 🩰🩰🤣🤣 as you said none of the battery powered saws are gonna be used for prolonged heavy use 👍
