Thanks for the professional review colt. Sick and tired of watching homeowners review arborist saws and cutting 2x4s and not knowing their ass from a whole in the ground when it comes to chainsaws.

I’ve had my DeWalt for a few months now and definitely agree about the chain lag. It’s very noticeable coming from gas top handles

Good to know I’m not the only one! How do you like the saw otherwise?

The issue with the Dewalt is that they set the soft start ramp speed too low. Based on what you showed, the power and top speed are there, the motor is just taking too long to get there. For someone not used to a Husqvarna electric saws throttle response profile, that might be fine, but for you it really is noticeable. Thanks for the great review. I have a few Dewalt tools already, and only do tree work on the side, so I think this could be a great fit for me. Godspeed.

Exactly, well said! That's why I think most people will like the saw actually. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment!

Thanks for the great review. Here's some speculation on why the throttle response is lacking. When you first pull the throttle that's when the motor is pulling the most amperage. Part of designing a good electric tool is yielding decent battery life. Maybe DeWalt limited the throttle response to help increase battery life? (just guessing)

That very well could be and would make sense! I’m definitely not an expert on electric motors but I thought the throttle response was worth noting. Thanks for watching!

I just drove over my echo electric saw with the mini skid ... so keep thinking about that Dewalt saw

Oh no, mini won I assume?! I think it’s overall pretty decent, I’ve just been spoiled with the Husky’s. It’s hard to want to use the Dewalt when the Husky’s are sitting there. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on it if you pick one up though!

The yellow traingle indicator comes on if you push the saw too hard and the chain stops. Kinda like "hey dont push me so hard" And yes i wish the dewalt oiled better. I dont really mind the throttle response on the dewalt, it has a 3 speed variable speed trigger. I actually like it but I dont have any experience with gas powered top handles.

You are correct!! Thanks for pointing that out! I forgot to edit that in. I figured most people’s wouldn’t mind the throttle response, I’m probably just spoiled with the Husky battery/ gas saws. I appreciate the clarification/ feedback! 😀

Is there a big difference between the husqvarna t535i and the t540i

I wouldn’t say a big difference. The 540 is slightly more powerful and has the palm safety. Otherwise they’re quite similar.
