Our take on the Dewalt 20V Max 12in Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Tool

The DeWalt 20V Max 12 in. Brushless Cordless Chainsaw is a compact, lightweight battery chainsaw built for light cutting: limbing, pruning and small construction work. Its brushless motor and 12 in. low-kickback bar give it up to 90 cuts per charge on 4x4 pressure-treated wood with a 5Ah battery, and tool-free chain tensioning keeps adjustments quick. It weighs about 9 lbs with battery, so it is easier to control than gas saws and larger cordless models, but it is not a felling saw. It runs on DeWalt's 20V Max batteries, which suits owners already in that system; the main complaint from owners is bar oil leaking in storage.
