From time to time we test some of the lower quality tools in head-to-head testing. However, in most cases they can’t perform to the same level and often those brands choose not to participate in our testing.

Noticed that you all did not test two battery powered saws that most people can easily get there hands on and not cost them $$$.

I live in the mountains in California. I’m looking at purchasing my first chainsaw in the next week or so and have been researching articles online. Some of them are enough to make your head spin. Your article was well-organized, easy to read and very informative all the way through. I particularly liked the bar graphs that followed the descriptions as they kept everything in perspective. Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated!

The Dewalt looks great on paper, claiming that it exceeds 50cc performance but in real life, it’s impractical for me. I originally bought the Dewalt because I have a bunch of 3rd party 12Ah 60V max batteries but when I tried to use them with the Dewalt, it felt so weak. Dewalt’s DCB615 is ridiculously expensive for the 278Wh it holds. Ego includes a 259Wh battery (the 5Ah) with the kit, and it retails for almost half of what Dewalt charges for the DCB615, which is their largest battery. Ego has batteries as large as 620Wh. The Dewalt saw itself doesn’t feel that powerful even with the DCB615. Also, as of the end of 2022, there is nowhere you can buy a chain for the Dewalt. Oregon doesn’t even make a chain for it yet. The Ego has $11 Oregon chains all day. I got rid of the Dewalt, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the Ego. Also, I still have my 1st gen Kobalt 80V saw that I love but the new tool itch got to me. I’ll keep it as a backup. Anyway, if the lower-powered Ego won the competition here, its big brother can only be better.

I’ve got a little Stihl saw getting a ‘service’ at the moment (for the last time). Poor old Stihl is POS. I’ve heard nothing but rapturous reports about Echo products including my own son (weedeater), local tree loppers (chainsaws) and garden maintainence people. I’ve just go to find a local dealer here in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia.

Kinda like mpg in a car. This levels the playing field of the different voltages and capacity of kitted batteries.

For example, the M18 saw made 21.7 cuts with a 216Wh (18v x 12Ah) battery, that is right around 10Wh per cut. Now the DeWalt was just behind the M18 with 20 cuts, but it was only using a 162Wh (54v x 3Ah) battery, so it only used about 8.1Wh per cut. So while the Milwaukee got more total cuts, it was due to its larger Wh pack. The DeWalt was actually more “fuel efficient” than even the first place EGO (31.3 cuts at 280Wh = 8.95Wh per cut).

My Rioby needs constant chain adjustment.
