   It’s An Amazing Saw… If You Know What It’s Intended For
   For weeks, I went back-and-forth deciding whether to buy a traditional gas chainsaw or this Dewalt cordless model. I don’t have a ton of trees to maintain, but the ones I do have are sizable (around 18″ diameter). So I decided to give this chainsaw a try and I haven’t regretted it. You’re not going to cut cords of firewood with this thing because the battery overheats with constant use, and the batteries won’t last for hours. However, if your cutting is somewhat limited to smaller jobs, this saw is great. It definitely gets the job done and the supplied chain is sharp and lasts. Dewalt didn’t skimp on the chain. It’s not a light duty chainsaw either. Yes, the battery life is limited, but this thing cuts and cuts well like a decent prosumer gas powered chainsaw. Would buy again.

   Works great, but the chain has to be tighter than a gas powered saw.
   Smooth cutting, decent run time, and well balanced. When first using this saw it kept throwing the chain. I was used to a gas-powered saw and chain tension. This saw requires a much tighter chain tension. Once I increased the tension it worked great.

   A huge improvement over their first generation DCCS670
   Anyone who owns the first generation DCCS670 and loves it clearly does not use it heavily enough.
   I live on 20 acres and have a woodstove I depend on, so cutting and splitting wood is something I deal with most of the year. I have a few gas chainsaws and this cordless one for convenience.
   I bought the very first generation DCCS670 when it came out. They had a flawed bar oiler pump. I don’t mean the sump being clogged with sawdust, but the pump itself was faulty, which required a complete teardown to get to. The bar oiler leaked like crazy too. All chainsaws do to an extent, but this one was obnoxious. We will see how the new one does.
   The chain tensioner was garbage as well. I remember it breaking, and I ordered the replacement, and I could tell a design change had been made. But even with it properly working, it did a poor job of keeping tension, more than any other chainsaw I’ve ever used.
   Other points – it had a silly, pointless plastic bucking bar. The new one has a steel bucking bar.
   This new model has a raised bar oiler filler neck, which I love, because sawdust does not readily fall into it like the previous model. This one actually uses two studs to hold the bar in place, like any typical heavy duty chainsaw. The previous one had a single bolt keep it in place. It liked to walk around and eat the plastic backing plate underneath it.
   Eventually the trigger on the old DCCS670 became stuck in the on position, and that was the final straw for me.
   Clearly Dewalt learned from their old model and made some needed improvement.
   I have four 9.0 ah batteries I use and a four dock fast charger. Use two batteries, than switch em out. 9.0ah batteries last roughly as long as a tank of gas/oil mix in a traditional chainsaw.
   Being electric, the battery life depends heavily on the chain being sharp. They use a low drag, low profile chain for a reason. Keep it sharp.
   I’m on point about updating reviews, and will edit this if a problem comes up. Otherwise, very excited about this chainsaw.

   Overall good but there is a gear issue
   Overall a good chainsaw, although I wish I would have gone with the 20″ but it cuts well and for my peace of mind, battery powered is the way to go. I use it to cut cedar and white oak primarily and it’ll cut through those no problem. One thing good is that it doesn’t leak oil like the 12″ that I bought previously. The ONLY complaint is that the tension gear doesn’t stand up to normal use. You can see a few teeth have been knocked off. The replacement part is is about $15 including shipping. Hopefully it’ll last a bit longer.

   Great Saw
   I bought this chainsaw for my husband as a Christmas gift. I was skeptical at first about buying a battery operated chainsaw. I grew up in a generation where two strokes were the only way to go even with their unreliability. I’ll have to admit that this chainsaw exceeded my expectations. It’s lightweight, easy to use and has a great battery life. We ran it for a solid 20 minutes cutting large tree limbs and barely put a dent in the battery usage. It’s a great value for this battery chainsaw. Great function and easy to maneuver.
