Is the DeWalt 60V 12-inch chainsaw good for cutting firewood?

It handles small and medium logs well, especially limbwood and softwood. For large hardwood rounds a bigger gas or corded saw is faster.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Most versions are sold as bare tools, so check the listing. If you already own DeWalt 60V FlexVolt batteries, you can use them.

Runtime depends on the battery size and the wood. A large FlexVolt pack gives many light cuts, but continuous cutting in hard wood drains it faster.

The saw itself is manageable, but a large 60V battery adds noticeable weight. A smaller pack keeps it lighter for pruning overhead.

It can cut small trees and saplings, but the 12-inch bar limits it. For anything beyond a few inches in diameter, use a larger saw.

It takes a 12-inch bar and chain. Replacement bars and chains are widely available, and the tension is adjusted without tools.
