<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">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. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">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.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jan 10, 2021 at 10:19 AM <<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com">eric@megageek.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I always love my dewalts.

with Dewalt is their battery chainsaw. It works OK, but the Milwaukee
is so far superior. I may buy one and have two battery standards.</font>

<br><font size="3" face="Calibri">Hey all, </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Calibri">I know this has been discussed ad nauseam
but I didn't save any of those emails.....</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Calibri">I have a $100 menards rebate check and
a $60 rebate visa card that are both burning a hole in my pocket. Also,
I have the 15% "anything you can fit in the bag" sale bag. I
figure $160 is a good starting point and am willing to at least match that
160 or more if necessary to get the best out there right now. </font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Calibri">So, what is the best right now? I am not
worried about a little heavier than most as I am not contractor and this
won't get used every day. I am just getting tired of dragging cords. I'd
like whatever I get to be the start of going all cordless (skill saw, Sawzall,
etc).</font>
<br>
<br><font size="3" face="Calibri">Thanks all</font>
