<font size=2 face="sans-serif">John,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My experience (and I'm pretty sure I
posted it here, but I did write to Dewalt about it) was that there chainsaw
had 2 major issues. 1-The oil leaks constantly, even if off, if it
isn't hung on the hook. That means if you have it in the truck on
the floor, the oil will be empty when you get to the job site. Dewalt
stated that was "As Designed"! My Milwaukee doesn't do
that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The other problem is the weak plastic,
single screw to hold the chain on with a clutch, I could never get
mine to tighten properly and would constantly throw the chain.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I still have my Dewalt, but it will
only be used if I don't want to damage my Big Red (if I'm cutting branches
over water or something.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In either case, I want to remind ANYONE
using a battery chain saw that the chaps that protect you will NOT work
on an electric one.</font>

<br><font size=3>I have the Dewalt saw, and I disagree. It has worked
great for me. but there are actually at least 4 different models
in the Dewalt line up. I have the "OG" 20V saw with the
16" bar from when they first came out, the 20V 8" pole saw"
and the 60V 20" saw that came out about a year ago. All work
great for me. The 60V saw has completely replaced my gas powered
20" Stihl. </font>

since I'm an old guy I'm considering buying a battery chain saw.. with
75 oak trees on the lot I get lots of dropped limbs in the winter from
1" up to 3" and I think this is easier than manual saw...especially
since I saw my 92 year old neighbor destroying yard debris</font><font size=3>
</font><font size=3 face="Segoe UI"><br>
using one in one hand, the other holding the limb.;</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Segoe UI"><br>
any recommendations on brand, voltage, size... budget is a consideration
as is weight... remember, I'm an old guy</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=3 face="Segoe UI"><br>
thanks</font><font size=3> </font><font size=3 face="Segoe UI"><br>
