WizeBuyz Take
Overall, customers are pleased with the DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Chainsaw, as it is small, quiet and lightweight, compared to gas chainsaws, and offers gas-free operation eliminating the cold starts, fumes, carburetor issues, and maintenance involved with gas-powered chainsaws, which makes it a valuable addition to any toolkit. Although not as powerful as a gas chainsaw, it offers decent power and battery life, delivering up to 90 cuts per charge on 4x4 pressure-treated wood using a 20V MAX* 5Ah battery. Some users reported an oil leakage problem, which is recommended to drain after use, and to set the chain tension correctly, to avoid overuse of oil and prevent the chain from coming off the sprocket.
