A lot longer than you'd think. I used one for 2 years. Cut up tree service wood that was 24 inches in diameter. I cut at least 30 face cords until I switched over to a CS590 for speed reasons. But I still use it every once in awhile when it's early and I want to get work done
Nice video, I will be purchasing the Dewalt 60 18 inch cordless. Most of what I cut is smaller and it is a game changer so says my neighbor who cuts wood like you. Dont be afraid to transition to electric.
I’ve used that exact dewalt you’re talking about. My friend Cam has one. Only thing I don’t like is I burnt through an entire battery after one log. Having so many charged batteries on hand would be unreasonable. I like the idea of unlimited electricity with the plug.
I just purchased the dewalt 60v with the 16inch bar and I’m impressed so far. I just posted a video on my channel about it with some cuts. Check it out if you’re interested.
@@EverythingElliott I got mine with the 9 amp hour battery and honestly it’s impressive how long it’ll last on that. I bought it just for some stuff. If I’m running my saw for a while I’ll just get the gas saws out!
Seems like it will serve its purpose. I have one remaining old Husky corded saw that would occasionally fry the switch but yours seems much improved and probably more powerful.
As long as you’re running power out there might as well get like a Milwaukee rocket light and either 12 or 18 V. I think either one at this point can be powered by a cord as well as batteries.
no maintence, no filling, lighter, not as much protection required... no playing with the throttle, no tuning, no gas. can take your time cause not wasting fuel idling... and if you are away from a plug, go cordless or bring a small generator. free to run if your offgrid on a sunny day. great for cutting and falling smaller trees ( the cordless ones ).
You're not the first person to say they had the ryobi 40v...the battery is the issue for me...I don't want to have to stop and wait for it to charge if I'm in the groove
@EverythingElliott I bought a second 40v 6a battery that is better. Then the 40v 4a is my backup. Plenty enough to do the work. It's too much to have a cord so far from the house.
Ummm, news flash, on every construction job in America is running on cordless power tools. In fact, you can't find corded power tools in the big box stores. Everything else is electric- vehicles, weedeaters, blowers, lawnmowers, etc. Why not chainsaws?
Well, I understand the situation you are in, it is an impressive little saw, when the weather gets warm, it will definitely overheat on you. I just hope there’s not a Tesla parked in your driveway next week.😳😳😳😳😳😳
I'm impressed. Better to have it electric than battery for me. Batteries go dead and cost a lot when they need to be replaced. I believe it will hold up longer than you think. My grandfather bought one in the late 70's early 80's and I just used it a year or two ago. Now granted it wasn't used for cutting firewood all day but it did hold up. I have no idea what the brand even is.
It will probably be the only saw you use for splitting. Felling a tree, doubtful. I dont think it would withstand the abuse that comes in that scenario.
Chain length was one factor. Having to swap to a new battery every couple cuts was the bigger factor. I’ve ran the dewalt battery saw and was less than impressed with the battery life
I’ve run battery saws before and wasn’t impressed how long the battery lasts before having to put a new battery in. Having that many charged batteries on hand would be unreasonably expensive
I have two of these cs 1500 for chainsaw carving in the winter. Have had the both for over two years. Only issue I’ve had is the oiler not working consistently. Not a big fan of the self shaping chain because it makes it so dangerous to move because the razor sharp teeth catch your hands and clothing, all the time But at the same time it cuts white like butter. Also the bar has to be cleaned a lot more with this saw. Or stops oiling
