60V FLEXVOLT 20" Brushless Chainsaw - Bare Tool (DCCS677B)

I'm a DeWalt guy through and through and had been eyeing this chainsaw for a while. Even though I believe DeWalt puts out quality products I was skeptical at the CC comparison claims but having used this saw many times I can tell you battery power has finally surpassed the power of gas imo. Pros - the saw is lightweight, powerful, quiet. It saws through the hardest of woods with ease. Cons - the saw has a tendency to overheat the batteries. I'm using a flexvolt 12ah and while that provides enough juice to take down a good size tree the bigger issue is with the batteries overheating if you're using the saw continuously. The only other issue I have is the lack of available replacement chains as it appears DeWalt has dropped the ball on supplying 20-in chains. I believe Oregon makes a replacement chain but they're difficult to find. Overall the saw is well built, powerful and has fully replaced my Stihl chainsaws. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great item. I've taken down several large trees with this and it cuts through very quickly.

DeWalt is my tested & brand of choice. Only drawback is it needs a very powerful battery to last awhile. I purchased a single 9 amp hr flex battery with a charger. No cheap investment going electric for a chainsaw but may be worth it in the long run. It does carve up 20"+ diameter logs with no strain. This comes at a cost though. You may only get about 15 min or less out of a 9 amp hr battery. One battery & fast charger cost me over $200! The chainsaw was $362. You could buy a very nice gasoline chainsaw for $500. Need to think before you buy.

Battery life kinda sucks. Bought the 15mah battery because the 9mah wouldn't even last through a log. The 15 does better but.... Listen, saw cuts great when it cuts. Just that for the saw and $400 battery, it should be much better. If I had to do it over, probably would have gotten the 16 inch, as battery life on it is reportedly better and will still get 90% of the stuff I cut. I also have the 12 inch and love it; 5mah lasts forever.

I bought this to trim larger tree branches and remove a palm tree. I already have several 60V FlexVolt batteries so I really wanted this chainsaw to work despite some of the negative reviews. I used it pretty heavily for several days cleaning up the yard and it worked great. It's lightweight and easy to handle. The safety mechanism seemed a little overkill to me but that's just the way the world is these days. I did have to purchase chain oil separately but it was readily available the nearby hardware store. The chain did slip when I got into the roots of the palm tree and I had to clean out the tensioning mechanism. It was very easy to access, clean and lubricate. I would not recommend this to professional landscapers or lumberjacks since it is clearly a residential tool. I do recommend it to anyone who needs a chainsaw occasionally to clean up the yard or remove the occasional downed tree. The cost of this chainsaw is far less than the cost of a landscaping company.

It’s been approximately six months since I purchased this 60 V DeWalt chainsaw. I pointed out in my first review shortly after I received it that the battery simply are not adequate and that makes the saw pretty much useless. Now that’s six months has passed. The saw simply will not run. It has failed completely. Fully charged batteries and the saw simply will not run. I am totally disgusted with DeWalt and the garbage that they’re producing. This saw is a total piece of junk. You could buy two top-notch gas saws for what this piece of junk cost. Don’t be a fool and buy this thing.

Great saw and it cuts well also last long on one battery,I highly recommend. Dan Pohl
