Purchased the Echo 8 months ago. I've run chainsaws professionally for many years. Wear and tear on my arm and shoulder when starting had me checking out cordless saws. We've always used commercial grade Sthils and Husqvarna's so I was a bit concerned about the Echo's performance. That said I'm very impressed, runs like a demon, really as good as your tests suggest. No issues after lots of brush clearing and multiple cords of firewood.

That's what I was thinking. I am actually not much of a tool user (yes, why do I watch these videos? Because you never know, and they're entertaining), but I'm aware that DeWalt has a ton of electric products and their batteries tend to be interchangeable, at least to an extent (I'm not sure what if any restrictions they might have, presumably some batteries aren't designed to be used with some of their tools). Yet I don't recall the Echo brand. Might have seen something of theirs in an older video, but I can't recall. So, the long term availability of their replacement batteries is suspect IMO.

Awesome comparison video. So easy to follow, the design of the tests make perfect sense and the graphs make it simple. Only suggestion would be to add a final tally graph. When searching for my new saw, I had to look at the video over and over to see what battery power was being used. I was going to buy the echo but do not like the fact that I need tools to adjust the screws on the bar. I had a gas Stihl that ran for 15 years and that was the one thing I hated. I ended up down to Dewalt and Ego. I decided to purchase the Ego CS1604 as it uses a higher capacity battery than the one tested here and made a difference when comparing. I am sure the Stihl is a great tool as I owned one but cannot justify the price for home owner usage. Would love to see another comparison using the same battery power and blade length. Awesome!

While the 16" saw was in the shop, EGO released the 18" saw, which I immediately purchased. So very glad I did. The 16" is no slouch, but the 18" does have a few features the 16" doesn't. Steel dogs, LED headlamps, and much higher RPM. My saws are used to cut decades old pacific madrone. One of the hardest woods I know of.

@@ProjectFarm Thanks for the reply. I was thinking maybe you could test different glues in heat and cold. Not by brand but by type so we know whats best for what application.
I probably started my last comment with this same sentence: 'I can't say enough how helpful these videos are.' They also show that across-the-board brand loyalty is a potential pitfall; X brand might make the best ( a,b,c) tools and Y brand make the worst (a,b,c), but the Y brand of (d,e,f) tools can outperform brand X's (d,e,f) tools by a mile. This fact speaks to the need to explore various options in a scientific and unbiased format in order to pick the best tool for the job whether your eye is toward overall value, maximum performance, or just what to stay away from at all costs! Thanks so much for all you do, Project Farm! You are a hero to people who buy and use tools that they rely on for their lives and livelihoods! Bravo!

@@SnifferSock yeah I really do like Stihl chainsaws. I now have a new Husqvarna that I purchased a couple of years ago and I say it's new because I haven't run but about maybe a gallon of gas through it. The only reason I changed to husky is because the Stihl dealer here in town has really suck service. Where I bought my first Stihl chainsaw and later weed eater at some 40 odd years ago got too old to deal with everything and sold the store and they decided on not carrying outdoor power equipment anymore. I still have that old 028 and an old 031 or 3 2 but they need gas line filter assemblies and they don't make them anymore. I even told the guy look if you'll do this to fix it and he says we don't jerry- rig. Well I was already down pretty bad in health but I'm getting a little better so I just got to get my glasses on, buy me some tubing, any kind of filter that I can attach it to and I will replace my own gas line assemblies I just hope I can still get a carburetor kit. And unfortunately there are manufacturers that will only agree to make parts for their equipment even like washers and dryers, for maybe 10 years some maybe 15 but then again other companies decide to make Parts on for several more years. So go gas and go Stihl and now that I own a Husqvarna go Husqvarna too! I don't guess I'll be switching to Electric for long time. happy cutting to you! And have a wonderful Christmas!
Very well done! I've been using chain saws for over 50 years. I used a small battery-powered (a light, cheap one, don't recall the brand), and it's been a pleasure to use. I'll still use the old style for serious cutting, but for smaller work the battery powered saws are WELL worth having. And once again, you found by far the best saw for us -- which none of us could have done ourselves! Thanks!
What an awesome service you provide, simple to follow, very thorough and informative 👍 Thank you

I enjoyed watching your video. I own 5 acres and decided to go with the WEN to cut down several (15 or so) medium size trees and cut them up into firewood. The WEN responded to every challenge I gave it. It's not commercial grade like some of the others but for $238 for the saw and two batteries, I'm quite pleased. It's a great deal for someone like me who needs to clean up property but doesn't need a full-time saw.

I realize that markets and prices fluctuate like crazy but including a price comparison of extra batteries(maybe just msrp? Idk..) would also be very helpful. Whenever I upgrade from my little b&d lcs1240, probably going to get the Makita because it nearish the top of the last video and comes with 2 full sets of batteries.
Impressive vid production. Appreciate your methodical assessment and great attention to detail. As a female, I developed a fondness for the Stihl MS201-T some years ago because of its lower weight, easier handling, and great cutting. When I started thinking about buying a battery-powered saw, I was naturally biased toward purchase of the Stihl model but the high price made me hesitate. Your vid was quite helpful in making me rethink which saw I should purchase. Thanks.
