Has anyone used one?
How long does the battery last?

I don't have a gas powered chain saw and don't want one, because starting those little motors when you only used them ~twice a year is more work than using the chainsaw.

I want something that starts when I pull the trigger/throttle. I only need it to run ~30-45 mins to cut down a few small trees or limbs around hunting stands.

The idea of the battery powered chain saw in my mind is great, but are they worth a crap?

For what it is worth: I still agree with me!

I don’t know about the battery powered saws, but other electric saws aren’t useful for cutting logs or limbs any bigger than 7-8” in diameter

I have one and I like it got it at Lowe’s if you chose one then get you a leafs blower weed eater of the Same brand and the batteries will be interchangeable.

Just keep Stabil in the gas and it will crank. I haven't cranked mine in 2 months, but I can have it running in about 5 pulls.

I've got a Stihl battery powered and love it.
Perfect for clearing roads and around stands
and shooting lanes.
Wish I would have had one years ago, but they
didn't make 'em.
Have cut 10 inch limbs with it and it's one
of the smaller ones. Fully charged battery can
hold up about as much as I want to work.
And, no oil or gas to fool with.
Hard to beat.

If your going out to cut a load of firewood then by all means you need a gas saw.My battery saw goes everywhere around the club and stays on my 4 wheeler for clearing roads and trimming lanes it cant be beat. I have yet to come across a tree it wont cut if its not bigger than the blade

When I seen this thread I automatically cringed a little bit. Then I read the body of it and I decided you know what this guy may not need a 42” stihl chainsaw. Then the Merica kicked in on me and I wondered how our forefathers would feel. A man doesn’t buy a gas chainsaw because he “needs”one or he’s worried about the maintenance. A man buys a gas chainsaw because he is a man and dammit men died overseas to protect that right. I don’t “need” the 5 hp nitro RC Truck that I have that will do 70 miles an hour faster than a ZR1 Corvette but I have one and it would damn sure make Ted Nugent proud. Do the right thing, do what Ronald Reagan would.

It goes back to the gas vs electric cart discussion. An electric cart is not great for everything but it simply cant be beat for running out to a hunting spot quietly. Gas for everything else

After a lot of youtube and online review research I came to the conclusion that Stihl or Makita were the way to go for an electric chainsaw. They have immediate, high chain speed, sizable bars and are backed by reputable companies that are less succeptable to going bankrupt soon (no replacement parts, batteries, etc. available in the future). Other saws lack the chainspeed and power to quickly chew threw wood and you end up "bearing down" on the saw to get it to cut. I went with the Makita because the Stihl was more expensive and I could use the Makita battery system on other proven tools (I wasn't sold on how much I would use any other Stihl electric tools or that I would want to pony up the premium they were asking for tools to use around the farm and house). They both seemed to be comparable per the reviews I saw.

Below is the model I went with I believe. I didn't get (4) batteries so that could reduce the cost some from the model below.

The Makita worked great a few weekends trimming roads, tree stand locations and shooting lanes paired with a wireless sawzall and stihl gas pole saw. I was happy/surprised at what it could do. We also cut some firewood off of some downed oak tops that have been drying over the last year.

Make sure they dont forget to include your free tampons and pantie liners, that's a bonus they stiff you on with those types of orders.

The handiest dang thing I have ever bought for use around the house and food plot work was a electric Lynx pole saw i got at Harbor Freight. I've cut 7" live oak limbs and everything else with it. For cutting limbs it can't be beat for the price..
