DeWalt DCCS677Y1 60V Chainsaw Kit vs DeWalt FLEXVOLT 60V Chainsaw Kit

Both are 60V DeWalt brushless saws, so the real choice is bar length and battery against weight. The DCCS677Y1 is the bigger saw: a 20 in. bar, a 4.0Ah pack and a claimed 3.49 HP, close to a 50cc gas saw, but it weighs 12.6 lbs and its 3.7-star rating from 18 ratings is only average. The 18 in. kit runs a 9.0Ah pack for longer runtime and is lighter and easier to handle, but it makes less peak power. Buy the 20 in. kit for felling and big hardwood; buy the 18 in. kit for limbing, firewood and all-day light work.

  • Choose the DeWalt 20 in. 60V kit if you fell medium trees and buck thick hardwood and want gas-saw-class power in a cordless saw.
  • Choose the DeWalt 18 in. FLEXVOLT kit if you want long runtime from the 9.0Ah pack and a lighter saw for limbing, pruning and firewood.

What reviewers say

DeWalt DCCS677Y1 60V Chainsaw Kit

  • 3.7 / 518 ratings

Ratings are middling at 3.7 out of 5 from 18 buyers, so reception is mixed. Praise centers on cutting power and the complete kit; criticism tends to focus on weight and battery runtime.

What people mention
  • Cutting powerPraisedBuyers say it cuts through thick logs with power close to a gas saw.
  • WeightCriticisedOwners find it heavy at 12.6 lbs, especially during long overhead or bucking cuts.
  • Battery runtimeMixedThe 4.0Ah pack delivers solid cuts but runs down quickly in sustained use.
  • OilingPraisedAutomatic chain oiling keeps it running without manual oiling stops.

DeWalt FLEXVOLT 60V Chainsaw Kit

Owners generally rate the saw highly for power and low maintenance, calling it a credible swap for a small gas saw. Complaints center on weight and how quickly the battery drains in sustained cutting.

What people mention
  • PowerPraisedOwners say it cuts like a small gas saw and holds torque in hardwood.
  • WeightCriticisedMany find it heavy, especially with the large 9.0Ah pack fitted.
  • Battery lifeMixedRuntime is fine for limbing but drops quickly in long bucking cuts.
  • Chain adjustmentPraisedThe tool-free tensioner and onboard wrench are called quick and handy.

Questions and answers

Which is better for felling medium trees?
The 20 in. kit. Its longer bar and higher peak power cut through larger trunks in one pass, and the extra torque helps in hardwood.
Which lasts longer on one charge?
The 18 in. kit. Its 9.0Ah battery has more than twice the capacity of the 4.0Ah pack in the 20 in. kit, and the smaller saw draws less current.
Is the 20 in. saw worth stepping up to?
If you cut big hardwood or fell trees regularly, yes. For limbing, pruning and occasional firewood, the 18 in. saw is lighter and runs longer.
Do they use the same batteries?
Yes. Both run on DeWalt 60V FLEXVOLT packs, so batteries and chargers interchange across the two saws and other 60V tools.
Which is easier to handle?
The 18 in. saw. The 20 in. kit weighs 12.6 lbs with battery, which tells in overhead cuts and long sessions.
Do both have a chain brake and automatic oiling?
Yes. Both have a chain brake for kickback protection and automatic bar-and-chain oiling.
