Milwaukee 2727 M18 FUEL 16" Chainsaw Review 

I've had this saw for a while. The scrench is ridiculously difficult to remove. You almost need to carry a screwdriver to pry it out of the holder. My solution was to drill a small hole in the scrench and attach a short loop of small paracord. It doesn't get in the way and makes it very easy to just grab the loop and remove the scrench.

Great video! I have not used this saw a ton yet, but I agree 100%, do not try to use non-high output batteries. Even the 6 amp hour high output will work fine, you'll just get less run time. I did try to use the standard 5 amp hour battery but overheated rather quickly. I suppose if you are limbing up 4-in material and you swap out batteries to keep them cool they may work okay.

I gave you the thumb up just for your reco on not taking the batter down to fail. I take'm down to one bar and then if I am in the shop I keep an eye on the charge and take them off as soon as see the 4th bar. This will greatly extend your batteries life 20% to 80% for long life.

Best info on this Chainsaw I've seen. will make my purchase much easier !👍

You really know your stuff my friend. Very helpful video in many ways, not just for this model. I`ve got the Makita 36 volt and it`s not as powerful as this Milwaukee.

Great video, really in depth and good video footage. I really appreciate the tip about which batteries really should be used with this. I bought a 2-pack of 8.0 high output batteries. Hopefully this will do with the trees I want to cut up.

I've had this since shortly after it was released, and it's definitely been put to use. Works great. I love it. Although the 12ah battery was a lemon, and the replacement Milwaukee sent me ended up being a lemon as well. That's one battery of theirs I cannot recommend.

Why can't anyone ever make a video displaying a live tree being cut down rather than a log on a stand. Make the test realistic for the average person looking for a saw.

I mill logs with my cordless saw instead of using my gas saw. These things make decent power and are much easier on the ears. I also no longer have to donate blood in order to pay for gas to put in it 💵

A very good review. Informative and no nonsense. Thank you Sir.

I loved this review! I have been thinking about buying this model for a while now, and you helped me make my decision. Thank you

Thanks for a great review! I'm looking between the 14 and 16

Thanks for the review, I have this saw and wanted the top handle for size but I’ll keep this because of the two bolts holding the bar. More because the way I carry it on the atv by the bar.

Just ordered one kit Father's day to me.

Good info, thanks.

I like my stihl… it starts every time, it runs awesome.

I would like to see 16 and 18 inch Dual Battery chainsaws just like the new 20 inch.

Great video my friend. Thanks for taking the time to make this! Did you make your yellow log saw horse. Thats really cool. It would be great to see an image of that or how you made it. Thanks again

The 16 inch is ok but I think think it needs an upgrade especially faster chain speed.

Do you prefer the 2826 or the 2727? Do you have a comparison video?

I would love to see this versus the Makita XGT. So far, I’ve avoided the latter tool line due to the high cost of the 40v batteries. It’s also annoying that they give you the 4.0 ah 40v “free” with the chainsaw and reciprocating saw. I wouldn’t want anything less than the 5.0 ah. Sucks when they try to give away the low end items on the platform which won’t operate the tool to its full capacity.

I like mine i throw a 18" bar and chain and she takes it like a champ.

So at $259 for the milwaukee 2727 16” or the Dewalt DCCS6772B 18” for $264. I cant decide.

Thumbs up for the calculations

What the brand of the impact wrench?

Imagine if gas chainsaws just started to get weaker when you get below a quarter tank😂😂

Hi... great video... but what kind of oil does it take? Like car oil? 😅

Great video, now I have to get one! XD

Great vid very informative!

Will be any different with the new forge battery?

You didnt mention warranty but still nice video 👍

Most people cut wood with improperly sharpened chains so the batteries die fast

Wonder how this compares to the Makita 18-Volt X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 16 in. Electric Chain Saw? I am in both battery platforms.

On sale now for $425 with extra chain.

Can someone please explain why it says fuel when it's electric

Has anyone ever had the handle to come loose or have movement? Thanks

Can you use a food grade oil like olive or vegetable I’ll be using for making compost ingredients

This video is now 1 year old, How is the saw holding up ? I’ve heard both good and bad things about them. I’ve been cutting trees up for extra money lately, trying to supplement our income. My wife is currently disabled so it’s just me working, and so I am doing everything I can to keep our heads above water right. My old gas chainsaws are getting pretty finicky lately and I am now considering this M18 cordless saw, the kit is running $500 and as I said, right now that’s A LOT of money for us to be plunking down on something that isn’t going to hold up. I’m real curious to see what you folks have to say about it. Milwaukee does make some pretty decent tools lately, and so I am really curious. Thanks for your advice 👍

Has anyone used it in -40° temp? Run time in extreme cold?

Can I use a milwaukee 6hd amp battery on it ?

How does this do with smaller batteries?

so hard to get the spanner out saw does not sit flat rocks an rolls chain dog is not long enough to grab log the chain comes off a lot, and furry bark gets clogged under cover remove 1; off the cover great saw just some design faults

Didn’t work out that way for me. Slow. Batteries overheated and again again

👍👍

Excuse me, sir! Not cool! what's with the plunge cutting!? That's a great way to get a viewer killed or catastrophically injured. Your viewers include a lot of regular folk who are NOT aware of the hazards of operating a chainsaw. Plunge cuts are for the professional trade -not for casual viewers. So, here's the caveat for the casual user: never cut with the tip of the bar. Going forward, I expect this channel will demonstrate greater discretrion in the demonstration footage.

By far the worst battery-operated chainsaw on the market

A saw like this would certainly make me happy i already have 4 12Ah batteries and two 8Ah. The kit would give me an extra for not too much more than the battery itself costs.

Do you prefer the 2826 or the 2727? Do you have a comparison video?
