This little 12-inch saw from DeWalt is the ultimate "trail clearer." It’s compact, lightweight, and fits perfectly in a toolbox or the back of a side-by-side. If you have a large property or do a lot of camping, this is the tool you didn’t know you needed.
Despite its small size, it handles several minutes of continuous cutting without breaking a sweat. It uses the same 20V MAX batteries as the rest of DeWalt’s massive lineup, which makes it a no-brainer if you’re already on that platform. It’s remarkably easy to maneuver in tight spaces where a full-sized saw would be a nightmare.
Things to Consider: It’s a 12-inch bar, so don’t expect to saw through 20-inch logs. It has its niche, and it fills it perfectly. Just remember to keep an eye on the chain tension, like any saw, it needs a little attention to keep it running safely.
