The DeWalt DCCS677Z1 is a 20-inch cordless chainsaw built for gas-like cutting without fuel or engine maintenance. It pairs a brushless motor with the 60V MAX 15.0Ah FlexVolt battery, which DeWalt rates at up to 4 peak horsepower. The onboard wrench handles chain tension, and a low-kickback bar and chain plus a chain brake add control. It suits homeowners and light pros with heavy cutting who already own FlexVolt batteries; the 20-inch bar and big battery make it heavier than smaller cordless saws, and owner ratings are mixed.
