    5/8" O-ring on the inside of the cap will resolve that oil leak. Great review of the Dewalt 12" chainsaw..Thank you
  • Sad day my well used 12” dewalt died the other day the good news is I had it fixed $80 and it’s back in service your bar looks like my old one

    been using a couple of them on my orchard for a few years. i love these saws. once you fix the leak problem at least. i put a 14" oregon bar and chain on one of them which i use for larger double handed cutting. i use the original one handed. i love these saw.

    Great review! Especially coming from a firefighter👍🏻 Cheers from Denmark🇩🇰
  • Long time viewer-don't comment much but I added a Makita 10" to my repertoire this year as a truck saw, (don't generally keep a full sized saw with gas in the truck); but this baby is small enough to live under the seat and works in a bind. I find myself using it regularly over a gas saw for trail work clearing, too. I love the modified bag. Thanks for that.

    I have the 20v 12" like your saw and I also bought the 60v 16"and upgraded it to the 18" both saws are amazing and I work for a tree service so they get used. I also have a Milwaukee m12 reciprocating saw and I tried the big blade on it and it done ok. It's definitely not a replacement for the dewalt 12" saw. I also put an Oregon 14" bar and chain on it and it became a better saw and plenty of power. I probably use it more than the 60v. LOL just thought I would share this with you. Hope it helps.
  • I have the 20v dewalt small one handed reciprocating saw. I can fall 8 inch trees with only 6 inch blade pretty effortlessly in seconds. There is even a 2 inch larger blade I haven't even got to yet, as well smaller. Tool is Small in size and light, yet incredibly powerful and smooth. Optional blades to even cut cast iron Rebar or concrete. I think you sold me on this 12inch over the 16 so I hope I returned the favour

    The new dccs623 8” pruning chainsaw is pretty sweet! I also use the 16” flex volt chainsaw, & the dcps620 pole chainsaw. All this from a diehard Stihl chainsaw user for over 35 years. The battery saws do have a place for the homeowners.
  • Dewalt just released a ne top handle arborist saw in the 60v line. They had an 18 inch and 20 inch professional saws come out in the same line a couple years back.

    Thank you I am looking at the 12" dewalt and you answered some questions I had!
  • @T-Mo_
    I have the Ryobi 12". Love the light weight, compactness and easy start/stop. Use it for limbing and then go to my echo 28" for the bigger stuff. I have a recip with a long pruning blade, but it's slower and rougher on the wrists.

    Excellent video, great amount of information. I'm thinking about upgrading from a Dewalt 20v Recipr Saw with a 12" pruning blade. This chainsaw seams to cut way quicker. 😂

    I got a12" chains and was not able to get the 9Ah MAX 20 20 volt Batteries as everyone was sold out so I got the 12Ah 60v/20v Flexvolt batteries that will work in both the 16" 60V Chainsaw and the 12" 20V Chainsaw. I am also using Canola Oil to lubricate the Blade. The Chainsaw works very well and seems to have quite a bit of power. The only downside is that it is a pain to clean up.
  • @TravisWalden
    I have the Black+Decker 10" 20V chainsaw and it does everything I need 99% of the time.
  • @tatko3366
    Just learnt how to field strip and reassemble mine. Manual and online articles say that cooking oil can be used and better for environment. Left sitting idle for a long time. And when went to use found no lubrication. When opened case discovered oil lines full of a viscous black sticky mess. Oil pump seized at bottom of travel. Maybe vegetable oil reacted with the metal anti kink coils in oil line. Or just turned fully rancid. All cleaned up and pumping oil again. And will stick with petroleum oils from now on.

    I have whole sortiment on Dewalt cordless tools. Pretty much all I use. I also do I lot a wood cutting , have 2 professional Stihl chainsaws. Was wondering about this one as a little back up to carry in truck or excavator. Sure looks promising.
  • With the little girl you did a great job .... I'm seriously thinking about it. I was also evaluating some competition with power at 40 v or higher but, I see that then all related industries including batteries have a much higher cost. Congratulations for the review.
