Thoughts on Milwaukee Chainsaws vs. Dewalt?
Asked by SillyLizard77
I've been a loyal Dewalt user, but I recently came across the Milwaukee chainsaw and it really caught my eye. It has a sleek design that reminds me of traditional chainsaws, unlike many other battery-operated models that look kind of goofy. I even had the chance to use the Milwaukee one and I liked it much more than my Ego 18". I'd love to hear what you all think about it!

From my experience, the Milwaukee chainsaws are pretty impressive for everyday homeowners. The 620/621 model with a 12" blade and a 9ah battery can tackle most tasks without a hitch. Just a heads-up, though, that battery is pretty powerful—it's been discontinued because it can be a bit much on certain job sites!

If you're looking for alternatives, check out the Greenworks OCS800. I have a few larger Ego chainsaws, and they're just awesome. But hey, everyone has their brand preferences!

Honestly, I think a 20V battery is a bit underpowered for a chainsaw. I'd recommend going for a Flexvolt or even checking out some of the higher voltage brands. Have you looked into the Stihl AP chainsaw? It's definitely worth a try!
WoodChopper44: Totally! And I recently saw that Makita has a new 40v chainsaw that looks pretty solid too. Brands have really stepped up their game!
FunnyBunny22: Blasphemy for calling anything less than 40V! But to each their own!
