I'm very struggling right now which system to choose (chainsaw now and lawn mower maybe next year). This is the one with the flexvolt system I almost ordered, but I just checked yesterday Makitas 40V XGT line and totally lost now :( This bare unit and the Makita UC017GZ bare unit is totally the same price. Chain speed is much faster on Makita and better materials is used, but DeWalt has more raw power I think. Can't find any comparison video from this two.
Do you know if this saw has variable speed, or only one speed which is max. It looks like when you pressed trigger saw was doing max RPM. So If you press trigger lightly, will it run slowly?
This looks like a really nice improvement over the old version! I just got the old version on sale and this come in really handy. I do not like the safety for the trigger however (which they seem to not have changed.) 🙋🏻♀️Anna
Hi AnnaCraft to me it makes sense since you do Not have a 2cycle Motor running, the EMotor would rev Up imediately when the Trigger is pulled... The "safety" makes it more concious If that makes sense.
@@stengulator what I meant is that the safety lever is difficult and not ergonomically reachable for me. It still seems to be in the same position as on the older version of the saw. I just cut down a plum tree using this saw 😂🙋🏻♀️
@@stengulator you’ll love it , for anything up to a 20 inch bar I think electric is the way to go and the dewalt an Milwaukee (both of which own) are the best bang for the buck im going to be giving away my older version to someone in need so that I can pick up this new version
@@mattseymour8637 i am in Germany (as you may hear fromm my stupid accent) and Back in the 80 and 90 all Tools we used where mostly made in Germany or Italy... Nowdays thats rarely the Case...
@@stengulator Yes that is true and that's why I do like Stihl and tend to buy more Stihl plus they are one of the best. But as you say tools and equipment that are made in China are getting better and not as 'cheap' quality as they used to be. I do have some Chinese made tools and they seem to be quite reliable.
Torque is advertised at 4 hp but requires a 15 amp battery to achieve 4 hp. False advertising. The chain is low profile to lower drag but less cutting time. I am sending mine back on monday for a refund, lucky I have not used it.
