I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
These battery saws are no joke. I bought a 12 inch Black and Decker. Since I got it I bought 2 more batteries. It’s nuts what they can do. This saw is much bigger and very impressive Nice video.
I've gotta say your video did seem like a review. But....its an accurate review. Anyone who wants to do some trimming without a chainsaw ringing out...you'll love this saw.
I've been using mine for firewood cutting works nice very handy saw it's a standard along with my circular saw, sawzall, impact drill,multitool. Theres no need for a 16" gas saw. I still prefer Huskquvarna for All day work
You should stack the wood together so ppl can get a better example of expected cuts. That is good you cut different size wood. I have one and a blower and string trimmer. The other two came with bigger batteries! 40v 2.5s/95 wAh
Still using. Works great! I did overheat the batter one time during summer heat and my blade was a little dull. I was pushing the saw. Never happened again
Seems like a great addition to anyone’s tool collection. I don’t own one of these. That being said, seems like it would be a good idea for Milwaukee to put a plastic waterproof cover with a hing to keep the battery protected from the eliminates and wood chips.. ?....
I have an honest question. I am a Milwaukee guy myself, their products are great. What I do want to know is this. How is the bar Oiler? Does it oil enough? Secondly does it leak when not in use? I absolutely hate that when I saw leaks bar oil when sitting. The only saws I’ve owned that DONT leak at all is my Stihl saws. I have echo, husky, Remington and Stihl. My echo saws leak very little but they do leak, both huskys leak, the Remington leaks a lot and the Stihl saws don’t leak a drop.
The oiler puts out plenty of.oil, mine has not leaked a drop while stored in my Jeep. I also hate when it leaks, the Harbor freight saws leaked so I'd put an old Jean pants leg folded up under the saw in it bag. Don't want all that out in my wranglers rug!!! I want to add, I DID have the battery overheat one time using the saw, I had people ask because they heard it was an issue... It's only happened once to me so far
I have had one of these saws for only a year. Now, the clutch is slipping. When I try to cut, the chain stops, the saw squeals loudly in a very high pitch and smoke comes from the drive sprocket. I have been looking and looking. Where do you get replacement parts?
Thanks for the update. I didn't think there was a clutch on these. I thought direct drive. Either way, one year is too short to have that fail. Last time I ordered parts for milwaukee I bought off eBay.
I bought this 3 weeks ago and used it yesterday first time I love it comparing to others it’s a champ . Trust me guys this isn’t a toy and you could cut your leg off using this if you don’t pay attention to what you’re doing. Very quiet comparing to gas and has a lot of power .
i laughed at battery powered tools when they first came out but not anymore. i flip houses and we use ALL battery tools except a table saw, a large compound radial arm saw and a wood planer. all hand tools are battery. we do a lot of outside work also like decks, landscaping, etc. and i'm right now comparing battery chain saws. we already have battery blowers and vacuums. you can't beat battery tools for being quiet in residential areas, early in the morning, late at night and weekend work. ALSO, i built a portable "charging unit" that's in my pick-up consisting of a large solar panel and a 110v converter which has a couple of battery chargers plugged in. we just leave the extra batteries charging all the time. i would not use a battery chain saw if i was cutting large trees or in the firewood business but for 90% of work around a house or small acreage or for any kind of remolding job, you can't bet the batteries. finally, i can't even name the number of small gas tools i've had that only work for a short time and then you can't get them started. i have no interest in pulling a cord for 15 minutes straight anymore just to complete a task. AND - with the ethanol blended gas in Pennsylvania, you CAN NOT leave gas in small tools now!! you have to drain all this gas out if you're going to store the tool for more than a couple weeks. if you don't you're taking the carb apart or paying someone to get the damn thing running again.
@@MotoCheez on the subject of inverter...if you needed to charge your saw using your inverter-would you likely run your jeep to prevent the charge requirement draining your vehicle battery?
I've charged mine with the Jeep off, it's only an hour. Never killed my battery.... So I guess it depends on your battery but most the time I. Charge while driving
@@MotoCheez appreciate the prompt reply...I was literally still reading...lol. I am impressed with your video. While I will continue running gas equipment for my business-I think Milwaukee got their 💰's worth out of this-looks perfect for the homeowner
after owning one, I agree with your findings, Australian wood is like 2 to 4x as hard as pine. probs harder than that but like it just rips though it like no gas one ive ever used!!
Looks like its a dog and wouldnt last a minute against a stihl o mean look at the chain tensioner its seated into plastic 😂 and wobbly as fuck and the pos cost $600 ! Nope pile o shat take it out and fell a dozen 25 inch oaks or black locusts and dont forget to cut them all up in 18 inch pieces , this machine is for ppl with too much money and not enough brains , sorry but the electric saw wont be replacing gas for a very long time if they were as great as u say why are washington or canadian loggers all not running around with these ? This is good for the house wife to cut little maple trees that are sprouting through her fence.
@@pamancave1150 if you read what i said im aussie mate. remember that everything here i mean EVERYTHING is done in OVERKILL. top 10 snakes we got them, spiders them too, even some of the biggest crocks just to go ontop of that. do you really think in a place where everything is done in extremes that the trees would be normal trees. no no no mate thats not how this land works!!!! all ive had to use it on has been the hardest tree knowen to man. legit Hardest tree we can find anywhere mind you theres a lot of trees. of course it is everywhere around my home town tho the iron wood : Allocasuarina luehmannii. is its name if you dont accept my word for it, look it up for youself!!! its not all plastic thankyou very much but again im aussie i know what hell i have in line for my tools 40 degree C days chopping the worlds hardest timber all day. tbh idk why they wouldnt be as i will never make a step back to gas. apples to oranges the battary wins sorry but if you started the test at the shed and ended it back at the shed like a real use of it. by the time you get the 2 stroke started im already done and i can work early mornings and into the night before the sound is a problem in town even!!! for someone with real mans work to do in all sorts of places not just the bush it is just unbeatable not even sorry really. if you dont like work being easier for you thats all on you. Me I rather get in out of the 50 degree snake infested oven asap tbh
@@pamancave1150 Not everyone needs a professional logging saw for designed for tree felling at the commercial scale. But, when you own acreage, a farm, or a ranch you need a chainsaw sometimes, but not all day, not every day, not all the time. This Milwaukee saw looks like a proven performer for someone who is a part-time saw user, but might sometimes need to cut through some decent size trees (ex: storm puts a couple of trees down across the driveway). The bonus here is it's basically a zero-maintenance machine for something you can put on the shelf and come back to later when you need it. I have some Stihl equipment, and it's great and all, but you still need to do more to maintain and keep a gas engine ready to go than you do to keep an electric motor ready to go.
Had mine over 12 months now, replaced my ms170. Use it for fire wood, mostly ironbark and rivergum. Recently upgraded to Archer bar and chains (Aussie company) absolute game changer, even better than it was.
I've only had mine overheat one time, I just used it over the weekend clearing trails. I cut trees bigger than the bar where I had to cut in from both ends to get through it.
I've been using a sawzall to cut larger 6 to 10 inch stuff and I can't stand how my hands feel after from the vibration. How's the vibration from the chainsaw? I probably will buy this mofo anyway but just wondering. Thanks!
Hows this thing do ona a tree about those sizes thats still standing upright because isnt it much harder on the motor and you need a more powerful motor to cut trees that are standing?
@@MotoCheez really?? I thought all the weight off the tree standing on the blade slowed it down. But damn that thing was cuting those biger logs quick if i could cut a standing tree that big id wanna buy this thinf
@@John-Anderson oh. I know what you're saying. You don't want to pinch the blade or your bar would get stuck. It doesn't bind unless the tree starts falling back on your cut. If you notch it right and even wedge so it doesn't bind it usually never pinches.
We were out on our favorite fireroad and came on a tree across the road. My brother-in-law said no problem and whipped out his chain saw. 50 pulls later he gave up, 50 pulls later I gave up. He pulled another 50 times and finally it started. If we had this Milwaukee, we would have been long gone up the trail. I know it isn't a gas saw as I own 3 large Stihl saws that can drop a 4 foot diameter tree without blinking and they have their purpose. This Milwaukee would make trail clearing a breeze instead of a chore. Yes, it is better than gas because of the fingertip start/run. I'm getting one.
The harbor freakish saw is ok. Run time is about 1/3 and 1/3 the power of the Milwaukee. You can’t “push” the harbor freight saw it will stop... I keep the HF saw for my motorcycle clearing and in my Minitrucks. They do way better than a hand saw! I believe the price on these Milwaukee’s came down a bit, under $400 now
Nice review - watched bzeug's review and almost made me entirely give up on wanting this saw now that it became available locally this week. Did you have any overheating?
Purchased... Mine came like yours in brown box still 'cause it wasn't on display yet. Mine didn't come with manuals or the little brochure.. I did open 1st from the end you opened 2nd. When charging 1st use charge led was red took battery off put back on after a little over an hour still red left a couple more hours still red took off again checked battery level - all bars put back on immediately green. Wondering if I have a bad charger or battery. Doesn't seem like proper charge indicating. I was also thinking bar was same as my Hitachi 40cc though shocked when I saw it - Hitachi is 18". Can't try out yet due to thunderstorms will probably have time again in a few days. Also don't have time for a few days to exchange hopefully w/ the missing paperwork... Worried about the charger/battery possible issue if it's not norm for 1st use. W/ ultra low existing charge. Haven't any Milwaukee battery tool experience to compare to. End of last year went with the 5amp 18v makitas (newest versions also.. Not the old models on clearance) after a lot of research when they had super sales and was considering Milwaukee but there were no good deals when I was looking... There were a few months later though but I had already been using the makitas and thought they were wonderful compared to the dewaults I use to have and any of what I still had. When this saw and the potential for new Gen of 12amp coming out I was a little disappointed I went w/ different system.
This video was continuous and it didn't overheat, BUT I had the saw battery overheat on me one time this summer when I was cutting a large 20" diameter tree off a trail. Was after about 15 minutes, I thought the battery died but it was flashing the battery lights, I looked it up and it said battery overheated. That was the one and only time so far, and I was pushing it.
I had yellow 18 volt cordless until the whole set was stolen. For the most part I didn"t have any complaints with quality or performance but really didn"t have any reference with other brands except for observation of what my employees used. Due to economic issues I ended up buying a used set of the M18's and was totally impressed. Definitely a step up from the D's. Love the fuel gage , that was worth it right there as no more guessing about the charge. Better feel, smoother, quieter and the 12volt Hackzall is the best thing since sliced cheese so not surprised about the chainsaw. That's my next tool for sure as it always seems to be a pita to dig out the gas saw for just a few cuts and then wonder whether it will start or not. Thanks for the review as I didn"t know Milwaukee made a chain saw.
Saw still working great. I rarely use my gas saws anymore unless it's a huge tree I'm cutting up that needs splitting for firewood. I used this to clear my land in Florida in recentl videos
I cringe whenever I see people doing the back and forth sawing motion while using chainsaws. All you need to do is put the bar to the wood and let the saw do the work. It's not a handsaw but so many people try to use them as such. Just watch any of the videos by professional tree guys and you'll see proper chainsawing technique. Otherwise you did a great job demonstrating the power and efficiency of that Milwaukee chainsaw!
So I’m going to be critical looks like the saw runs well but a 14# saw with a 16 inch bar most people that run that for firewood will hate the extra weight my echo Timberwolf with a laminate steel bar weighs in at 12 pounds has a metal case for durability and had a a 59cc engine. Love Milwaukee tools but this is a tool for a home owner that just needs to trim the occasional tree or medium size tree
The batteries alone are 150 each so consider that and the fact you get a charger. I'm thinking of getting one. I don't need the saw I need the batteries and charger for my impact gun.
That's one heavy chainsaw, it's even heavier than some 60cc gas saws. That would be like working with the heaviest allowable bowling ball. The last number in the chart below is the weight of comparable home use saws. 14.5 lbs without the battery add the RedLithium 12Ah @ 3.7lbs, That's over 18 pounds if my numbers are correct. Boy, it does look like a good cutting saw, though. No doubt about that.

Yep. The motor is a monster. Has to be in order to handle the amps. To output 1500 continuous watts at 18V you need 83 amperes! That's going to take a lot of copper. The real advantage of high voltage saws is not power, it's the ability to use a light weight motor.
I’d have to say that out of all the cordless chainsaws out there - Stihl, DeWalt, Ryobi, Ego, Mikita and more, the Milwaukee is the best. It has two bolts to fasten the bar down too, not a tool less one which come loose real quick.
Awesome results. From the research I've done and information that Ive gathered, people in the know(Loggers Arborists etc) claim that the Milwaukee 16 inch Lithium battery chain saw is the overall best 16 inch cordless electric chainsaw out there. I'd like to see,an 18 or 20 inch version available. Prior to hearing this new discovery of information I was looking at the 16 inch Dewalt or the 18 inch Lowes Kobalt or Greenworks Pro. Do you have any experience with those or other cordless electric chainsaws .
18 or 20 would be nice. I’m sure you could fit one easily and it would handle it. Only 2 other saws if tested. The harbor freight saw and Ryobi Milwaukee still the best.
How many total full cuts did you get? I know they were various sizes but just curious what the final number was and maybe how long it ran? Thanks for the review man!
fairly impressive, for a cordless device that is keep in mind that the best cordless chainsaws can barely compete with midrange gas powered saws at a higher price these days you can get a 50cc chainsaw for 50 bucks on amazon for 320 bucks you get a chinese clone of the Stihl MS660 with 92cc at, one heck of a beast that no cordless chainsaw can hope to compete with
That's true, but storing gas saws in your vehicle and hoping they start when you need them (wrangler offroading) I've had my share of stinky gas and saws not starting after sitting a few months. I'll never go back to gas for this application.
@@MotoCheez for that application battery powered saws clearly have an edge. I actually have a cheap cordless saw. Just top off the bar oil, when ever you need it just recharge the battery and start it up, a day or several months in storage makes no difference
Makita makes better batteries , motors and switches , ask any repair/ warranty department at your favorite hardware tool retailer. Milwaukee has a strong advertising campaign but the nod for quality and durability always goes to Makita
I disagree. I've had a milwaukee skillsaw last me 10 years, battery drill and impact combo last me 7. I have a battery that's over 10 years old still going strong. It's all about how you take care of them.
@@MotoCheez we atv up in ocala national forest,, but not much in summer, too damn hot,, i have a milwaukee 18v transfer pump we use up on our property we own up in the forest to transfer water for showers, cooking, etc. i love it
I love DeWalt also, was hard to choose when I was going to make the decision. I did send DeWalt an email, if they want me to review the flex volt. It may make me start a switch to DeWalt. That flexvolt is nice! And tons of tools
Someone needs to show him how to use a chainsaw. If that was a gas one that got coughed he would get pulled into the wood. There’s a reason for the bucking teeth. Easy way to break a chainsaw holding it that far away from the wood.
I buck for a living, used to fall, have been using saws for over 20 years and I'm sorry to say, you don't know what you are talking about. The only time you use the dawgs, is on the really big stuff where you need the extra leverage to get though. I've never broken a saw by not using the dawgs. You want to know where your tip is at all times, so you don't rock your saw, or cut something you don't want to. Many times you either have a log on the ground, or up against another log you don't want to cut. Tip control is essential and everytime I see someone cutting something small, with half the bar hanging out the other side, I know they are an amature. If you are needing to constantly use the extra leverage the dawgs provide, you need to learn how to sharpen your saw better.
If its pulling into the wood, the depth gauges are set to low. I've cut hundreds of cords of wood and rarely use the dogs, except for in really big wood. No offense but it sounds like someone needs to show you how to use one.
See AvE's review of this same product, he has a different take on it ( and more technical and critical on account of not being given the product by the manufacturer.) This is a useful review though because you get to see how the unit performs in reality. It is expensive though and if you need a chainsaw for your work you'd better have a few spare batteries on hand if you buy this one or, buy a petrol chainsaw which will go all day and last for years if properly maintained-IMHO.
No it isn’t better then gas. It is great for homeowners who need to trim up a few things, professionals use gas to get the Jobs done. Everyone is a fan boy if x brand but let’s not make crap up
Believe me, I've used several battery saws. I own a Harbor freight 40v, this saw impressed me way more than I expected. will beat most small gas saws under ..40cc's If you get a chance, try one out.. I wouldn't believe it either.
My smallest Stihl saw (MS 261 C-M) runs circles around every single battery saw people have brought around me. Both the dewalts, 40v and 60, the Kobalt, Ego, and Echo. Although the echo did well for a battery saw. Now obviously, if we are talking something like a husky 372 or Stihl MS 461 there is no comparison. And for really small quick stuff I use my climbing saw (MS 201T)
Im eventually going to get this saw since I have so many Milwaukee Tools , but I really wish it had the built-in Auto sharpener, since there's no Auto sharpener I'm not going to get it the second it comes out I'll have to wait till it's on sale or find some coupons or wait till the price drops
If you sharpen your chain with every fill up it takes about 5 minutes for a 24" bar. This 16" even faster but battery power don't last as long so you can skip sharpening unless you like hitting dirt.
He's trying to sell saws guys. He gets free stuff to make cool videos. If someone doesn't know what the difference is between a proper saw and this then let them have this one.
@@MotoCheez Cool not trying to say that DeWalt is better here just saying these chainsaws are not up to par for proffesional use. And I am no saying tree harvesting (that is out of question) More like Timber framing. AvE pretty much took both of them apart they have good electrical motors but the tensioning mechanisms and blade connection to the saw is well flimsy and the price is too high for occasional use or home use. I wonder if anyone has that battery powered Husquarna if they any good.
Bullshit. This review needs to be done by people that use a saw for a living and cut timber with them. When this thing will last all day putting down large trees compared to stihl or husqvarna without packing 30 batteries with you to make a productive day. Then you can say its better than the gas saws.
I never said it would replace a professional saw, if you see it says a .40cc saw. And yes, it's better than a limb .35 saw in many ways. I have professional Husqvarna XP saws. Is it better than those? No way, and I never claimed it was either.
China makes everything and I mean f*cking everything. That country produces some of the most technologically advanced software and hardware ever conceived of. Keep up with the world, you're decades behind. China isn't the only example of globalization.
5 year warranty says it’s a good product. I own over 30 Milwaukee tools and they are all over 5 years old now. They are hands down some of the greatest battery powered tools on the market today.

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
I would have to say this is one of the best test and reviews I have seen. Thank you
Thanks 😎
Bought one today at Home Depot, and watching your video, i thing i have made the right decision. Thank a lot man
I still love mine over any other brands that I've used. Let me know how you like it
These battery saws are no joke. I bought a 12 inch Black and Decker. Since I got it I bought 2 more batteries. It’s nuts what they can do. This saw is much bigger and very impressive Nice video.
I'm blown away with the battery life on this thing! You gave it a good test. Better than I expected!
Better than I expected also.
I've gotta say your video did seem like a review. But....its an accurate review. Anyone who wants to do some trimming without a chainsaw ringing out...you'll love this saw.
I've been using mine for firewood cutting works nice very handy saw it's a standard along with my circular saw, sawzall, impact drill,multitool. Theres no need for a 16" gas saw. I still prefer Huskquvarna for All day work

You should stack the wood together so ppl can get a better example of expected cuts.
That is good you cut different size wood.
I have one and a blower and string trimmer. The other two came with bigger batteries!
40v 2.5s/95 wAh
Just picked one up... and you convinced me !
Any update a year later? I’m thinking on getting one :)
Still using. Works great! I did overheat the batter one time during summer heat and my blade was a little dull. I was pushing the saw. Never happened again
You have a amazing sense of humor!
😁🧀
Seems like a great addition to anyone’s tool collection.
I don’t own one of these. That being said, seems like it would be a good idea for Milwaukee to put a plastic waterproof cover with a hing to keep the battery protected from the eliminates and wood chips.. ?....
The lithium cells are sealed pretty good, if that's what you mean with the water..
I just bought 1 today! 4/24/20
I have a cottage in NY in the finger lakes area.
How do you like it?
@@MotoCheez in transit...ups
nice to be able to see the oil level
👍👍
I have an honest question. I am a Milwaukee guy myself, their products are great. What I do want to know is this. How is the bar Oiler? Does it oil enough? Secondly does it leak when not in use? I absolutely hate that when I saw leaks bar oil when sitting. The only saws I’ve owned that DONT leak at all is my Stihl saws. I have echo, husky, Remington and Stihl. My echo saws leak very little but they do leak, both huskys leak, the Remington leaks a lot and the Stihl saws don’t leak a drop.
The oiler puts out plenty of.oil, mine has not leaked a drop while stored in my Jeep. I also hate when it leaks, the Harbor freight saws leaked so I'd put an old Jean pants leg folded up under the saw in it bag. Don't want all that out in my wranglers rug!!!
I want to add, I DID have the battery overheat one time using the saw, I had people ask because they heard it was an issue... It's only happened once to me so far
I have had one of these saws for only a year. Now, the clutch is slipping. When I try to cut, the chain stops, the saw squeals loudly in a very high pitch and smoke comes from the drive sprocket. I have been looking and looking. Where do you get replacement parts?
Thanks for the update. I didn't think there was a clutch on these. I thought direct drive. Either way, one year is too short to have that fail.
Last time I ordered parts for milwaukee I bought off eBay.
I'm gonna have to say this is the best review. Cant wait to try out mine.
Thanks! I did overheat my battery one time using it, I was cutting a huge tree out of a trail, pushing it
I'll take my ms 260 any day!
I bought this 3 weeks ago and used it yesterday first time I love it comparing to others it’s a champ . Trust me guys this isn’t a toy and you could cut your leg off using this if you don’t pay attention to what you’re doing. Very quiet comparing to gas and has a lot of power .
👍👍👍🔥😁
I am buying that, I have almost every cordless tool already
awesome, let me know what you think about it. I was impressed that it would actually replace a small gas chainsaw. IMO

AND - with the ethanol blended gas in Pennsylvania, you CAN NOT leave gas in small tools now!! you have to drain all this gas out if you're going to store the tool for more than a couple weeks. if you don't you're taking the carb apart or paying someone to get the damn thing running again.
Agreed, I'd love to see the solar setup. I just have the inverter hooked up.
@@MotoCheez on the subject of inverter...if you needed to charge your saw using your inverter-would you likely run your jeep to prevent the charge requirement draining your vehicle battery?
I've charged mine with the Jeep off, it's only an hour. Never killed my battery.... So I guess it depends on your battery but most the time I. Charge while driving
@@MotoCheez appreciate the prompt reply...I was literally still reading...lol. I am impressed with your video. While I will continue running gas equipment for my business-I think Milwaukee got their 💰's worth out of this-looks perfect for the homeowner
It won't replace my 272 or 372, but it sure beats my limbing saw by far
I'm impressed. Deer hunters are gonna love this saw. I know I am. Gonna try one out this weekend. 😉
Maybe if you want bar and chain oil all over your meat...which is a petroleum product
Can use cooking oil to lubricate
The final cut! Pink Floyd would love that one.
👍👍👍👍
It was basically Roger’s album. 🎸
Glenn Gould also.
after owning one, I agree with your findings, Australian wood is like 2 to 4x as hard as pine. probs harder than that but like it just rips though it like no gas one ive ever used!!
Looks like its a dog and wouldnt last a minute against a stihl o mean look at the chain tensioner its seated into plastic 😂 and wobbly as fuck and the pos cost $600 ! Nope pile o shat take it out and fell a dozen 25 inch oaks or black locusts and dont forget to cut them all up in 18 inch pieces , this machine is for ppl with too much money and not enough brains , sorry but the electric saw wont be replacing gas for a very long time if they were as great as u say why are washington or canadian loggers all not running around with these ? This is good for the house wife to cut little maple trees that are sprouting through her fence.
@@pamancave1150 if you read what i said im aussie mate. remember that everything here i mean EVERYTHING is done in OVERKILL. top 10 snakes we got them, spiders them too, even some of the biggest crocks just to go ontop of that. do you really think in a place where everything is done in extremes that the trees would be normal trees. no no no mate thats not how this land works!!!! all ive had to use it on has been the hardest tree knowen to man. legit Hardest tree we can find anywhere mind you theres a lot of trees. of course it is everywhere around my home town tho the iron wood : Allocasuarina luehmannii. is its name if you dont accept my word for it, look it up for youself!!! its not all plastic thankyou very much but again im aussie i know what hell i have in line for my tools 40 degree C days chopping the worlds hardest timber all day. tbh idk why they wouldnt be as i will never make a step back to gas.
apples to oranges the battary wins sorry but if you started the test at the shed and ended it back at the shed like a real use of it. by the time you get the 2 stroke started im already done and i can work early mornings and into the night before the sound is a problem in town even!!! for someone with real mans work to do in all sorts of places not just the bush it is just unbeatable not even sorry really. if you dont like work being easier for you thats all on you. Me I rather get in out of the 50 degree snake infested oven asap tbh
@@pamancave1150 Not everyone needs a professional logging saw for designed for tree felling at the commercial scale. But, when you own acreage, a farm, or a ranch you need a chainsaw sometimes, but not all day, not every day, not all the time. This Milwaukee saw looks like a proven performer for someone who is a part-time saw user, but might sometimes need to cut through some decent size trees (ex: storm puts a couple of trees down across the driveway). The bonus here is it's basically a zero-maintenance machine for something you can put on the shelf and come back to later when you need it. I have some Stihl equipment, and it's great and all, but you still need to do more to maintain and keep a gas engine ready to go than you do to keep an electric motor ready to go.
Had mine over 12 months now, replaced my ms170. Use it for fire wood, mostly ironbark and rivergum. Recently upgraded to Archer bar and chains (Aussie company) absolute game changer, even better than it was.
Reason the chain is thin is cuz it's less of a burden on the battery me thinks.
Thin Nerf, yes
The 9.0 batteries work nice as well it’s a great saw
Nice review
TY! I tried my smaller ones and they worked too
MotoCheez yes it’s a epic saw
I've only had mine overheat one time, I just used it over the weekend clearing trails. I cut trees bigger than the bar where I had to cut in from both ends to get through it.
I've been using a sawzall to cut larger 6 to 10 inch stuff and I can't stand how my hands feel after from the vibration. How's the vibration from the chainsaw? I probably will buy this mofo anyway but just wondering. Thanks!
No vibration really. Nothing like a sawsall!
Can Milwaukee make a M18 powered car next?
😆😆😆👍
Why didnt you pick the mushrooms first good food gone to waste love oyster mushrooms myself
I didn't know what they were... 😁
Hows this thing do ona a tree about those sizes thats still standing upright because isnt it much harder on the motor and you need a more powerful motor to cut trees that are standing?
Works great! A green tree is easier to cut then a dried seasoned log actually.
@@MotoCheez really?? I thought all the weight off the tree standing on the blade slowed it down. But damn that thing was cuting those biger logs quick if i could cut a standing tree that big id wanna buy this thinf
@@John-Anderson oh. I know what you're saying. You don't want to pinch the blade or your bar would get stuck. It doesn't bind unless the tree starts falling back on your cut. If you notch it right and even wedge so it doesn't bind it usually never pinches.
@@MotoCheez ooo okay i gotcha. This things a monster then and the warranty seems fantastic
We were out on our favorite fireroad and came on a tree across the road. My brother-in-law said no problem and whipped out his chain saw. 50 pulls later he gave up, 50 pulls later I gave up. He pulled another 50 times and finally it started. If we had this Milwaukee, we would have been long gone up the trail.
I know it isn't a gas saw as I own 3 large Stihl saws that can drop a 4 foot diameter tree without blinking and they have their purpose. This Milwaukee would make trail clearing a breeze instead of a chore. Yes, it is better than gas because of the fingertip start/run. I'm getting one.
Great point. I agree 👍👍
You said u have harbor freight saw . What brand is it and how much run time? How much was Milwaukee saw?
The harbor freakish saw is ok. Run time is about 1/3 and 1/3 the power of the Milwaukee. You can’t “push” the harbor freight saw it will stop... I keep the HF saw for my motorcycle clearing and in my Minitrucks. They do way better than a hand saw! I believe the price on these Milwaukee’s came down a bit, under $400 now
Nice review - watched bzeug's review and almost made me entirely give up on wanting this saw now that it became available locally this week. Did you have any overheating?
No. Didn't get hot for me at all and we cut constant until the battery died
Purchased... Mine came like yours in brown box still 'cause it wasn't on display yet. Mine didn't come with manuals or the little brochure.. I did open 1st from the end you opened 2nd. When charging 1st use charge led was red took battery off put back on after a little over an hour still red left a couple more hours still red took off again checked battery level - all bars put back on immediately green. Wondering if I have a bad charger or battery. Doesn't seem like proper charge indicating. I was also thinking bar was same as my Hitachi 40cc though shocked when I saw it - Hitachi is 18". Can't try out yet due to thunderstorms will probably have time again in a few days. Also don't have time for a few days to exchange hopefully w/ the missing paperwork... Worried about the charger/battery possible issue if it's not norm for 1st use. W/ ultra low existing charge. Haven't any Milwaukee battery tool experience to compare to. End of last year went with the 5amp 18v makitas (newest versions also.. Not the old models on clearance) after a lot of research when they had super sales and was considering Milwaukee but there were no good deals when I was looking... There were a few months later though but I had already been using the makitas and thought they were wonderful compared to the dewaults I use to have and any of what I still had. When this saw and the potential for new Gen of 12amp coming out I was a little disappointed I went w/ different system.
R H damn. Wondering if it's your charger. They have anymore for exchange? It's also odd you don't have manuals... Think it was opened?
R H the bar is longer than my 16 on my harbor freight. I should have measured actual length.
I really need to learn not to write books when I'm doing RUclips comments
was that continuous or was it edited, would like to know if there was any overheating issues if it was non stop sawing
This video was continuous and it didn't overheat, BUT I had the saw battery overheat on me one time this summer when I was cutting a large 20" diameter tree off a trail. Was after about 15 minutes, I thought the battery died but it was flashing the battery lights, I looked it up and it said battery overheated. That was the one and only time so far, and I was pushing it.
I had yellow 18 volt cordless until the whole set was stolen. For the most part I didn"t have any complaints with quality or performance but really didn"t have any reference with other brands except for observation of what my employees used.
Due to economic issues I ended up buying a used set of the M18's and was totally impressed. Definitely a step up from the D's. Love the fuel gage , that was worth it right there as no more guessing about the charge. Better feel, smoother, quieter and the 12volt Hackzall is the best thing since sliced cheese so not surprised about the chainsaw. That's my next tool for sure as it always seems to be a pita to dig out the gas saw for just a few cuts and then wonder whether it will start or not.
Thanks for the review as I didn"t know Milwaukee made a chain saw.
Best battery saw by far that I've used, hands down.
they said how many cuts it does on the battery, but how many cuts before you have to fill the chain oil?
About 2 batteries..
@@MotoCheez oh wow, thats way better than i expected, i'd heard that they were oil hogs
@@Sausketo not mine, seems pretty good on bar oil. It doesn't leak like the harbor freight I tested either
@@MotoCheez thanks for the info!
Why the back and forth sawing motion as your cutting?
My son, he's new at it...
@@MotoCheez ahhh fair enough 👍
Adding to my list soon
I want to buy myself one . Looks like it can do a lot of cuts
Saw still working great. I rarely use my gas saws anymore unless it's a huge tree I'm cutting up that needs splitting for firewood. I used this to clear my land in Florida in recentl videos
Quantas horas de trabalho a bateria durou ?
20 minutes cutting roughly
I don’t know bro I think your video is a good ad for Milwaukee.
Just happened to be that way. If it was junk, I'd say it...
I agree all the little pop ups for milwakee spec's definetly feels lkke he got paid for the video
@@craftybusiness5125 he got a free chainsaw.. so he did get paid i essence
I wouldn't say they are better than gas yet, but give it time. Maybe in 5 years.
how much wood would you say u cut on that one battery half a cord a full cord i haven't seen a video yet that says that or stacks what they cut
I'd say it was close to a chord once split. Was mostly big wood
i would say that makes that chainsaw well worth the money i dont know if i can cut a cord on one tank of gas in my chainsaw
I can with my 272xp Husky. But then it's empty
Think you could put a 20” Oregon bar/chain on it without any issues?
I don't see why not. As long as same pitch chain. It has an Oregon bar and chain from factory.
Be better to put a 14” chain instead. Would spin it faster and battery last a little longer.
How many cuts in real life until you have to fill the oil again?
FhargaZ about 2 batteries. I’ve never counted cuts, has to be over 100
How many hours did it run .
I'm not sure total time non stop, but we were out there for over an hour
I cringe whenever I see people doing the back and forth sawing motion while using chainsaws. All you need to do is put the bar to the wood and let the saw do the work. It's not a handsaw but so many people try to use them as such. Just watch any of the videos by professional tree guys and you'll see proper chainsawing technique. Otherwise you did a great job demonstrating the power and efficiency of that Milwaukee chainsaw!
Agreed. That was my son's first time! I did tell him afterward. I personally cut hundreds of cords, have several XP Husqvarna's
So I’m going to be critical looks like the saw runs well but a 14# saw with a 16 inch bar most people that run that for firewood will hate the extra weight my echo Timberwolf with a laminate steel bar weighs in at 12 pounds has a metal case for durability and had a a 59cc engine. Love Milwaukee tools but this is a tool for a home owner that just needs to trim the occasional tree or medium size tree
You're correct. It's no logging saw, but it's saved my ass in my Jeep a few times already.
Looks good. $400 sounds too expensive though. Should be half that.
It's the battery cost...
Is the tool heavy?
A little. It's about same as a chainsaw same size
hi, did the battery hit up at least once?
No. I had no issues with the battery
It’s hard to believe how excited you are when they give you the saw to review.
Why? That's what I do is reviews... If it's junk I'm not excited
Why is it the M18 if it’s only got a 16” bar
IDK, the M18 refers to the battery group
its awsome u got it free, i paid 400$ for mine
It's a pretty amazing saw!
i won one in a raffle, works like a hot knife thru butter dont think i would buy one with money though
paul w all over the message boards!
Jonathan M i get bored easy jon m i also tell people good job etc if they do a good job simple i appeciate reviews and demos
The batteries alone are 150 each so consider that and the fact you get a charger. I'm thinking of getting one. I don't need the saw I need the batteries and charger for my impact gun.
That's one heavy chainsaw, it's even heavier than some 60cc gas saws. That would be like working with the heaviest allowable bowling ball. The last number in the chart below is the weight of comparable home use saws. 14.5 lbs without the battery add the RedLithium 12Ah @ 3.7lbs, That's over 18 pounds if my numbers are correct. Boy, it does look like a good cutting saw, though. No doubt about that.

It is heavy! Battery as you mention is a big part...I'm sure it's because it 18v where most moved to 36 and 40. Great info. Than you
Yep. The motor is a monster. Has to be in order to handle the amps. To output 1500 continuous watts at 18V you need 83 amperes! That's going to take a lot of copper. The real advantage of high voltage saws is not power, it's the ability to use a light weight motor.
Exactly. Half the size copper winding. Can't wait until all the tools are 40v
That’s impressive 👍👍👍
It is. I'm still using mine in recent videos
Sweet!
Do a comparison test.husquvarna
Do they make a battery saw?
I’d have to say that out of all the cordless chainsaws out there - Stihl, DeWalt, Ryobi, Ego, Mikita and more, the Milwaukee is the best. It has two bolts to fasten the bar down too, not a tool less one which come loose real quick.
👍👍👍
When your saw can beat a 2100 from 1969 then i would truly impressed
I’ve seen the 12.0 on 2 brushless drills with hook installed
Hmm. I don't have the brushless. Maybe that's why. And they're a few years old.
World of difference
👍👍👍
Timber 's are great 's and hard 's wood's ! Good
🔥👍👍👍
Awesome results.
From the research I've done and information that Ive gathered, people in the know(Loggers Arborists etc) claim that the Milwaukee 16 inch Lithium battery chain saw is the overall best 16 inch cordless electric chainsaw out there.
I'd like to see,an 18 or 20 inch version available.
Prior to hearing this new discovery of information I was looking at the 16 inch Dewalt or the 18 inch Lowes Kobalt or Greenworks Pro.
Do you have any experience with those or other cordless electric chainsaws .
18 or 20 would be nice. I’m sure you could fit one easily and it would handle it. Only 2 other saws if tested. The harbor freight saw and Ryobi Milwaukee still the best.
Milwaukee should be paying you bro! You like Wikipedia of knowledge about them. Or was that their point
Haha. I did get the saw free for review.
Either way I stay 100% honest. What I see is what everyone sees.
Dang I'd be worn out before that thing was ready to quit.
😁😆🤣😜👍
Yep, the chainsaw rocks!
👍👍👍
Mujhe bhi chahey bhayo kase milaga
How many total full cuts did you get? I know they were various sizes but just curious what the final number was and maybe how long it ran? Thanks for the review man!
I didn't count, but my camera glasses locked up and missed about 8 cuts, I'd say a good 25 minutes of cutting. Thanks!
MotoCheez thanks for the quick reply. 25 mins is impressive. New subscriber here can’t wait to see what else is in store!
Thanks! I mostly do motovlogs and Jeep stuff, I do reviews here and there
AvE would like to have a word......
I know!!
fairly impressive, for a cordless device that is
keep in mind that the best cordless chainsaws can barely compete with midrange gas powered saws at a higher price
these days you can get a 50cc chainsaw for 50 bucks on amazon
for 320 bucks you get a chinese clone of the Stihl MS660 with 92cc at, one heck of a beast that no cordless chainsaw can hope to compete with
That's true, but storing gas saws in your vehicle and hoping they start when you need them (wrangler offroading) I've had my share of stinky gas and saws not starting after sitting a few months. I'll never go back to gas for this application.
@@MotoCheez for that application battery powered saws clearly have an edge.
I actually have a cheap cordless saw.
Just top off the bar oil, when ever you need it just recharge the battery and start it up, a day or several months in storage makes no difference
Makita makes better batteries , motors and switches , ask any repair/ warranty department at your favorite hardware tool retailer. Milwaukee has a strong advertising campaign but the nod for quality and durability always goes to Makita
That's arguable, I've worked on all the top brands over 20 years.
I disagree. I've had a milwaukee skillsaw last me 10 years, battery drill and impact combo last me 7. I have a battery that's over 10 years old still going strong. It's all about how you take care of them.

600 + dollars in Canada !
Wow!!!!!
That's because Canada's health care is *free*. Hahaha nothing is free!
@@barkybarker2592 So true! It is not free and not very good. Long waits for everything.
Someone needs to show him how to use a chainsaw. If that was a gas one that got coughed he would get pulled into the wood. There’s a reason for the bucking teeth. Easy way to break a chainsaw holding it that far away from the wood.
I buck for a living, used to fall, have been using saws for over 20 years and I'm sorry to say, you don't know what you are talking about. The only time you use the dawgs, is on the really big stuff where you need the extra leverage to get though. I've never broken a saw by not using the dawgs. You want to know where your tip is at all times, so you don't rock your saw, or cut something you don't want to. Many times you either have a log on the ground, or up against another log you don't want to cut. Tip control is essential and everytime I see someone cutting something small, with half the bar hanging out the other side, I know they are an amature. If you are needing to constantly use the extra leverage the dawgs provide, you need to learn how to sharpen your saw better.
When my son was using the saw, he has no experience so he was seesawing... You are correct, I always know where the tip is and never need the dawgs
If its pulling into the wood, the depth gauges are set to low. I've cut hundreds of cords of wood and rarely use the dogs, except for in really big wood. No offense but it sounds like someone needs to show you how to use one.
Don't take this seriously well slice a turkey awesomely for Thanksgiving
:)) lol
You can use gravy for chain oil!!
same weight as my 271 farm boss to heavy for how it cuts

See AvE's review of this same product, he has a different take on it ( and more technical and critical on account of not being given the product by the manufacturer.) This is a useful review though because you get to see how the unit performs in reality.
It is expensive though and if you need a chainsaw for your work you'd better have a few spare batteries on hand if you buy this one or, buy a petrol chainsaw which will go all day and last for years if properly maintained-IMHO.
Love Aves reviews. I'll check it out! Thanks.
Wow, the saw went for so long you ran out of info for it and had to use random facts about the company itself! Very impressive chainsaw!
I was impressed, no lie!
FUNGUS GROWING ON THE WOOD...PROBABLY PUNKY SOFT WOOD IF NOT TOTALLY ROTTED WOOD. GOOD TEST WOULD BE ON FRESH HARDWOOD. THIS DOESN'T SHOW ME MUCH.
A few pieces were, 90% was hard wood, you can tell
STOP. SHOUTING.
that did not cut all that wood on one charge that is bull shit
Swear to God. One battery! I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't done it.
No it isn’t better then gas. It is great for homeowners who need to trim up a few things, professionals use gas to get the Jobs done. Everyone is a fan boy if x brand but let’s not make crap up
It's certainly better than my small XL Homelite chainsaw. Hands down, no noise and smell either.
MotoCheez a 400 dollar saw that can’t outperform a basic stihl saw. To each their own but these electric chain saws are homeowner toys
Believe me, I've used several battery saws. I own a Harbor freight 40v, this saw impressed me way more than I expected. will beat most small gas saws under ..40cc's If you get a chance, try one out.. I wouldn't believe it either.
BUT 2, $400 saws gas compared to this, gas would certainly win!
My smallest Stihl saw (MS 261 C-M) runs circles around every single battery saw people have brought around me. Both the dewalts, 40v and 60, the Kobalt, Ego, and Echo. Although the echo did well for a battery saw. Now obviously, if we are talking something like a husky 372 or Stihl MS 461 there is no comparison. And for really small quick stuff I use my climbing saw (MS 201T)
This thing compare nothing with Makita or Dewalt
For sure it’s better.
If you keep nudging the log behind the job with the bar tip, one day you'll end up with the nickname of 'lefty'.
Fail, needs auto shappener
Nah, they never work right, the ones that I've seen
Oregon is already providing the bar and they make the auto sharpener that i love
I'm going off older auto sharpeners. That's awesome!
Im eventually going to get this saw since I have so many Milwaukee Tools , but I really wish it had the built-in Auto sharpener, since there's no Auto sharpener I'm not going to get it the second it comes out I'll have to wait till it's on sale or find some coupons or wait till the price drops
If you sharpen your chain with every fill up it takes about 5 minutes for a 24" bar. This 16" even faster but battery power don't last as long so you can skip sharpening unless you like hitting dirt.
Unbelievable.
He's trying to sell saws guys. He gets free stuff to make cool videos. If someone doesn't know what the difference is between a proper saw and this then let them have this one.
Try one, then get back to me.
FYI, 99% of my reviews I purchase myself. 😎
Are. You single?
No, but my son in this video is 😁
Too expensive Same as dewalt flexvolt . If they did a proper saw though might be next year.
I just emailed DeWalt to see if they'd send me a saw to compare.
@@MotoCheez Cool not trying to say that DeWalt is better here just saying these chainsaws are not up to par for proffesional use. And I am no saying tree harvesting (that is out of question) More like Timber framing. AvE pretty much took both of them apart they have good electrical motors but the tensioning mechanisms and blade connection to the saw is well flimsy and the price is too high for occasional use or home use. I wonder if anyone has that battery powered Husquarna if they any good.
Agreed. Maybe it's "commercial" in battery chainsaw category... lol
Bullshit. This review needs to be done by people that use a saw for a living and cut timber with them. When this thing will last all day putting down large trees compared to stihl or husqvarna without packing 30 batteries with you to make a productive day. Then you can say its better than the gas saws.
I never said it would replace a professional saw, if you see it says a .40cc saw. And yes, it's better than a limb .35 saw in many ways. I have professional Husqvarna XP saws. Is it better than those? No way, and I never claimed it was either.
BTW, I used to cut 10 plus chords a year for heating... I know saws
"Yes! Its better than gas" is what your video said, and thats what i am replying to. Bullshit!
It is better than gas, 100% not better than any gas saw, nope. But as I said in the description and comments. .40cc.
Leatherface will be imperceptible
👍👍
another china crap bahaha
dfguko welcome to the World
China makes everything and I mean f*cking everything. That country produces some of the most technologically advanced software and hardware ever conceived of. Keep up with the world, you're decades behind. China isn't the only example of globalization.
👍👍👍🔥
Looks very cheaply made
It's not though, very sturdy, well built saw
It's a pretty decent build.
Cuz it is.
5 year warranty says it’s a good product. I own over 30 Milwaukee tools and they are all over 5 years old now. They are hands down some of the greatest battery powered tools on the market today.
Agreed! I've repaired every different kind of battery tool brand, when I switched to Lithium, it was a toss up between Milwaukee and DeWalt...
