ROUND 2 lineup: Stihl vs EGO, ECHO, Husqvarna, Oregon, WEN and DeWalt. In round 1, the 60V DeWalt outperformed the other brands, winning the showdown. Saws tested in 3 events: 2 cutting speed tests on 4x4 lumber and 1 test on hardwood. Battery charge time and run time under continuous load, noise level, and no load sprocket speed tested. I purchased all of the chainsaws tested. Thanks for supporting the channel!

Purchased the Echo 8 months ago. I've run chainsaws professionally for many years. Wear and tear on my arm and shoulder when starting had me checking out cordless saws. We've always used commercial grade Sthils and Husqvarna's so I was a bit concerned about the Echo's performance. That said I'm very impressed, runs like a demon, really as good as your tests suggest. No issues after lots of brush clearing and multiple cords of firewood.

The one huge advantage I can see with the dewalt is the ability to use their tool line as well.... Echo, not so much. While it was a very good saw, the versatility of the dewalt (while only being slightly behind the echo) seems to be the better value

@ProjectFarm 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback.

@ThatSoddingGamer 2 года назад

That's what I was thinking. I am actually not much of a tool user (yes, why do I watch these videos? Because you never know, and they're entertaining), but I'm aware that DeWalt has a ton of electric products and their batteries tend to be interchangeable, at least to an extent (I'm not sure what if any restrictions they might have, presumably some batteries aren't designed to be used with some of their tools). Yet I don't recall the Echo brand. Might have seen something of theirs in an older video, but I can't recall. So, the long term availability of their replacement batteries is suspect IMO.

Awesome comparison video. So easy to follow, the design of the tests make perfect sense and the graphs make it simple. Only suggestion would be to add a final tally graph. When searching for my new saw, I had to look at the video over and over to see what battery power was being used. I was going to buy the echo but do not like the fact that I need tools to adjust the screws on the bar. I had a gas Stihl that ran for 15 years and that was the one thing I hated. I ended up down to Dewalt and Ego. I decided to purchase the Ego CS1604 as it uses a higher capacity battery than the one tested here and made a difference when comparing. I am sure the Stihl is a great tool as I owned one but cannot justify the price for home owner usage. Would love to see another comparison using the same battery power and blade length. Awesome!

I still have that old 028 and an old 031 or 3 2 but they need gas line filter assemblies and they don't make them anymore. I even told the guy look if you'll do this to fix it and he says we don't jerry- rig. Well I was already down pretty bad in health but I'm getting a little better so I just got to get my glasses on, buy me some tubing, any kind of filter that I can attach it to and I will replace my own gas line assemblies I just hope I can still get a carburetor kit. And unfortunately there are manufacturers that will only agree to make parts for their equipment even like washers and dryers, for maybe 10 years some maybe 15 but then again other companies decide to make Parts on for several more years. So go gas and go Stihl and now that I own a Husqvarna go Husqvarna too! I don't guess I'll be switching to Electric for long time. happy cutting to you! And have a wonderful Christmas!

Impressive vid production. Appreciate your methodical assessment and great attention to detail. As a female, I developed a fondness for the Stihl MS201-T some years ago because of its lower weight, easier handling, and great cutting. When I started thinking about buying a battery-powered saw, I was naturally biased toward purchase of the Stihl model but the high price made me hesitate. Your vid was quite helpful in making me rethink which saw I should purchase. Thanks.

A great round-up between this one and the earlier one. Thanks for including the EGO. Although the Echo is amazing, I would opt for either the DeWalt or the EGO simply because I've invested in those battery technologies already around my house. The DW already has a great battery, but with the EGO, I'd buy the bare tool and use my other 5.0 amp hour batteries with the chainsaw. Those are just some additional things to consider besides just performance; things such as battery conformity and what you already own as that will reduce the "entry price" into a new tool. Great job. I love your videos!

@jamesr1894 2 года назад

totally agree. The echo is better, but the versatility of the dewalt batteries means I have about a dozen 60v batteries to swap in/out as well as two large 4 battery charger. I have other yard tools that are dewalt as well as the normal shop tools. While the echo might be a bit faster, but it would be a large investment for an only slightly better tool.

I have the WEN and actually prefer it to my gas 20" ryobi saw. I have two batteries so I just swap back and forth. I've been sawing elm lately with the WEN and have been lasting far longer than what you mentioned. I did notice that using the teeth to "pivot" through the log drained it far far faster than simply letting it work its way through with some minimal downward pressure.

@@dennispope8160 I started with the EGO 16", and was just amazed at it's performance. But, when the motor developed a bearing failure, it had to go in for warranty repair. They apparently replaced the motor. After receiving it back it is starting to make the same internal noise as when it first failed. While the 16" saw was in the shop, EGO released the 18" saw, which I immediately purchased. So very glad I did. The 16" is no slouch, but the 18" does have a few features the 16" doesn't. Steel dogs, LED headlamps, and much higher RPM. My saws are used to cut decades old pacific madrone. One of the hardest woods I know of.

So the average runtime is around 6 to 7 minutes, with recharge time around an hour and a half. So let's say you run 6 minutes out of 10. You're going to need an extra 9-10+ sets of batteries to keep going for an hour and a half (60% run 40% rest). Which probably equates to about $4 worth of gasoline.

@gorjy9610 3 года назад

it's for people like me who buy'd cheap gasoline chainsaw 7 years ago and in meanwhile burned maybe three tanks of gas, not for any serious work with it. That's why some prices we see here are unreasonable.

@whirving 3 года назад

I think for pure productivity the gas saw will win, but when you are doing work that requires you to stop cutting to perform other tasks (brush clearing for example) then the electric saw is nice and you don't have to pull start it over and over. That is especially tough when it is colder. I use my wife's little Dewalt for clearing willows and alder on trails and it is so much nicer than a gas saw. But if I have to cut the trail from the start, or some other messy hard and constant cutting it's the gas saw every time.

@nospam3409 3 года назад

Yes, but if you only need a saw to take care of an occasional tree limb that comes down,a battery powered saw will pay for itself in spades due to the lack of a repair bill. Not to mention the fact that every Stihl dealer (currently up to 4) I've ever taken a saw to for repair work has ALWAYS said my saw was beyond repair and would have to be replaced. The last such occurrence they told me the saw had no compression. I checked it myself and got 150 psi. Put a new sparkplug in it, and it's been running great ever since. I heat with firewood, so it's gas for me, but the battery powered saws have their place.

Also, the "RPM of the motor isn't quite so relevant as the chain speed which is a factor of the motor RPM AND the diameter of the drive sprocket. There has to be a balance between in engine torque and sawchain bite (aggressiveness) and drag by the size of the bar and chain. Chain speed "does the math" between the motor RPM and cog size. In gas saws we can change the drive sprocket according to our sawing tasks and other parameters of setup.
