[Shop-talk] Was Cordless drill/screw driver NOW electric Saws

[John Innis]

Which Dewalt chainsaw do you have?  I got the 60v version and it is
definitely better than any other small saw I have ever used, gas or
electric.  It cuts quicker and easier tham my Stihl MS120.  It will never
replace the MS250 for big jobs, but for limbing and bucking I like it a
lot.

I also have the 20v pole saw, and it is a little limited in terms of power,
it still gets the job done.  One thing I have found is that the pole saw is
really sensitive to being dull.  The first dozen or so cuts after I sharpen
the chain, it cuts great, after that it goes downhill pretty quick.  Part
of that is the length of the chain, a shorter chain is always going to dull
quicker than a longer one, because each tooth comes around more often.
Part of it is the fine pitch of the chain.
