Does the DCCS673B come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need a DeWalt 60V FlexVOLT battery and a compatible charger. Both are sold separately.

What size bar does it take?

It runs a 12-inch bar and chain. Replacement bars and chains must match that length and the saw's pitch and gauge.

Is a top-handle chainsaw safe for ground use?

Top-handle saws are designed for in-tree work by trained users. For felling and ground cutting, a rear-handle saw gives better control.

How does it compare with a gas top-handle saw?

It starts instantly and needs no fuel mixing, and DeWalt rates it at up to 3.42 peak horsepower. A gas saw still runs longer per fill and does not depend on charged batteries.

What is the Tool Connect chip for?

The saw is Tool Connect Chip-Ready, so a chip can be added for tracking and inventory management on jobsites. The chip is not included.

What maintenance does it need?

Keep the bar oil reservoir filled, check chain tension before use, and keep the chain sharp. The oiler is adjustable to match the bar and wood.

What reviewers say

Owners of DeWalt's 60V top-handle saw treat it as a serious limbing and in-tree tool that starts instantly and cuts well for its size. Most praise comes from people already on the FlexVOLT platform; the common complaints are the bare-tool packaging and the weight with a big battery.

What people mention

Cutting powerPraisedOwners say it cuts through hardwood limbs without bogging down the way smaller battery saws do.
Top handlePraisedThe top-handle layout is valued for one-handed control when working in the tree or on awkward limbs.
Battery platformMixedIt only makes sense if you already own FlexVOLT packs; buying into the line adds cost.
WeightCriticisedWith a large FlexVOLT battery fitted, some owners find it heavy for extended overhead work.
Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note the saw arrives without a battery or charger, which surprises some first-time buyers.

About the DeWALT FlexVOLT 60V MAX Compact 12-in. Top Handle Chainsaw, Tool Only (DCCS673B)

The DEWALT DCCS673B is a cordless top handle chainsaw with a 12-inch bar and a brushless motor. It is made for tree pruning, limbing and removal work. It runs on the DEWALT 60V MAX battery platform and is sold as a tool only.

It is rated at up to 3.42 peak horsepower with a chain speed of 23.6 m/s. With a DCB609 battery (sold separately), it can cut a 10-inch diameter maple log in as fast as 6.8 seconds. The design is 22% more compact, and the top handle layout suits tight or awkward cutting positions.

The gearcase is cast magnesium, and the oiler is all-metal and adjustable. Metal bucking spikes help brace the saw in the cut. Chain tensioning is tooled. An inertia chain brake and an LED dashboard are included. A D-ring harness attachment point is built in, but the harness is not included. The saw is Tool Connect Chip-Ready, so the optional chip and the DEWALT Site Manager app add asset tracking and location features.
