Dewalt Saw Chain BRUSHLESS Bare 18IN DCCS672B

This took down a 22" gum and I bent the bar while bucking (it was my first day). While waiting on a replacement I got a Stihl 271 (I've got a lot of storm damaged trees). This little beauty is my pack with and minor cut champ. After using both for a full day I can tell you the DeWalt is kinder on you, but has battery limitations. Power wise it's pretty decent and is phenomenal in ground work where you'll do a cut, then position awhile and so on. I'll fire up the Sthil about 10 times over a day, but use the DeWalt well over 100 individual cuts. I would equate the ease of use to to why golf carts are preferred over stick shifts in a lot of places, this is just fun. Great tool for what it is and invaluable for anyone, be they weekend warrior or home steader. For those of us not up to Wranglestar status this is a great back up for the gas powdered and can charge batteries off a solar panel. If you're clearing debris or heating your home this is a great tool and piece of mind. It is pretty liberal with the bar oil discharge, I'd recommend storing with that in mind.

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.

Great saw for the size and voltage. Gotta watch the chain oil level. Don't have the filling saw with gas to remember to fill the tank. It does not last for a 12ah battery.

I have about 8 Dewalt cordless tools, I even have the older model 16" 60v chainsaw. My old chainsaw has been through some serious crap. I'm not exaggerating if I say I've felled over 50 trees with it. It's been beaten, hit, dropped and even left out in the rain. Eventually the handle broke, the molded plastic, and I don't think there's a fix, so I ordered the new "upgraded" model. The DCCS672B. Here is my honest review. The good... Like the old saw it will cut through a 20" cherry tree in no time. It's got power, it's got torque, it's quiet and it's light. The bad: 1) I have about 3 hours on the saw and the chain tensioner just broke 2) with the older model and with most gas powered chainsaws, you typically use the chain adjuster when you install a new chain, or sometimes if you've run it for hours. With this model, DCCS672B, I find the chain loose about every 5 minutes. I spend more time adjusting the chain than cutting. 3) The design of the chain sprocket is absolutely stupid. The bottom of the sprocket has no guard or washer, so the chain constantly slips off the sprocket and down underneath it. I cant cut and delimb a single tree without having to open the saw up at least once, sometimes more, to reinstall the chain because it's slipped under the sprocket. The chain sprocket on my old saw was worn and the handle broke. I just bought a sprocket replacement for the old saw and I'll try my luck with crazy glue or some kind of plastic adhesive to fix the handle. The new saw already has a warranty claim open with Dewalt, I've owned the saw for 5 weeks, and fingers crossed, maybe the fix it properly and it becomes my backup saw. But the old Dewalt is absolutely going to be my primary saw again. They just don't make them like they used to. Shame on you Dewalt, this saw is crap.

This is so much better than a gas powered chainsaw. It’s as powerful as I need and the 60v batteries last long enough for my needs.

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.

That’s good enough strength to cut through a log Battery last long enough to get the job done less vibration than a gasoline. Don’t have to pull on a string hoping it cranks don’t have gasoline. I give it AAA rating.

Works as described... Great Product... The gas does not go bad because there is no gas. Would buy again.

Very stiff chain. You must first heavily lubricate the chain, loosen the bolts, and then tighten the adjuster as far as you think reasonable. After that, turn the adjuster yet another quarter turn, tighten the bolts and run it unloaded at full speed for a minute. REPEAT WHEN DONE. If you fail to pre-stretch the chain it will skip out of the tracks during operation. (Do not ask me how I know this.) Do this for any new chain in the future. I am highly impressed with the torque, it is everything they say it is, and it bites through wood like nothing else I have ever used. I have not used it enough to determine the battery life but I took down and chopped three small trees, multiple bushes & branches, and it only lowered the power indicator by one bar. I feel I can get more out of one battery than almost three tanks of gas. (Buy multiple 60v batteries. I know they are expensive, but think of it as an investment.) I was unimpressed by the guard around the driving sprocket as it clogs a wee bit too easily. I understand it is a safety feature but still... It is amazingly quiet and I am sure my neighbours appreciate that, great tool overall.

I love it! Powerful saw. Better than my gas chainsaw. Advise not to buy from Canada Tools though. Terrible customer service from them.

a quiet powerfull even at low rpm, very balanced

A very good chainsaw

Good quality fit finish Dewalt standard 👏
