Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL line is built for the job site, and this chainsaw is no exception. Pair it with their 12.0 high-output HD battery, and you have a saw that genuinely feels like it could compete with a 40cc gas saw.
The chain speed is impressive, climbing to 6,600 feet per minute, which means it bites into the wood fast. The 16-inch bar is a solid middle ground that handles the vast majority of tasks you’d throw at it. It’s thirsty for power, though, so that 12.0 battery is almost a requirement if you want any decent runtime.
Things to Consider: The battery alone is a significant part of the cost here, but if you’re already in the M18 ecosystem, the performance is top-tier. It’s a rugged, high-torque saw that doesn't apologize for being battery-powered.
