I've had my M12 'hatchet' for about a year now and find it excellent for it's intended use. That doesn't mean i use it to cut tree trunks like in the video, i only prune back around 2" branches with it. If i want to cut small tree trunks like in the video i use my M18 version, which often cannot fit into tight spaces between branches.
I have the M18 chainsaw and love it. Battery, as powerful as a gas equivalent, and quiet. I didn't know about their M12 hatchet, but it definitely looks pretty cool. Definitely see its use for the trail riding. For homeowner though, a pole saw is where it's at.
This was a great review and real life use of this saw. I'm definitely picking one of these up for around the house but this would be perfect to take camping. Love the Milwaukee M12 line!
Glad this was helpful. It's always tough to just show a product and keep an honest first look. It's a great little tool and you're right on camping. I should of said that in the video. Cheers
I bought one for hunting and fishing and UTV with 2 x 9Ah batteries. It’s pretty silent compared to Gas chainsaw ... tanks for sharing... a big tumbs up !
Love this tool and I'm so getn one! Thanks for the review and getn us some vids to watch. Keep 'em coming friend! Good to see ya on the tube! And tell ur sis she did a great job on the video-ing 🌳🌲💚👊👍
Good real world initial review. How many battery bars did you have left? There is another guy on here who put the 10in pole saw bar and chain on this tool to test it out. It worked. It's not gonna win any speed or endurance races, but it worked. So I guess this bar will fit the pole saw then. Don't know why you'd want to do that, but you can. Wonder if the 16 in bar would fit on the pole saw? I'm guessing yes.
That video is happening my friend soon I hope haha. Honestly i just like to share tools that I find to work well and that milwaukee for what it is I can see being used all across the board. Everyone that has used it since I got it wants one.
Nice little accessory ya scored Nick! That would definitely be an asset in our landscape tool arsenal. You mentioned falling a tree with the Atlas... I too recorded content of an Atlas dropping a tree. Thanks for the reminder, I lost some content to a project... Or did I?🤔 Nice vid my friend, keep up the great work and Be Blessed!💪🏼🪓🌳🌲🦅🇺🇸
She had a few cherry, oak and maple.. i may be wrong but that one looked like a north american east coast dry land high elevation maple. Some words may or may not be added for context
I think thats a waste of money! A M18 Sawzall with a diablo pruning blade would be just as good and more versatile!! Try to cut a chunk of angle iron with that!
I'd say Hackzall considering this one can easily be used onehanded, but other than that I agree. This Hatchet saw seems like it is made for a very niche kind of customers.

I bought mine last spring. And got an extra chain and battery. It is amazing how well it works. I cut several thorn trees with it. Did a great job.
Awesome happy to hear you enjoy it!! Be safe my friend.
I really love mine but have trouble removing the battery. Any tips

Pole saws are great. I have 3 of them including the Milwaukee. But they suck for tight work in close. I'll be carrying this one in my truck.
Don’t tell me how to maintain my home…..lol.
Camera person did a good job on getting the action
Awesome tool. Buying one for my mom for Christmas. She is a private gardener and still uses a hand saw for stuff too big for loppers.
She will enjoy it. Just tell her to be safe. Although quiet and such it still can do damage. Thanks for stopping by
Really nice video. Got to see the quality of cuts and battery life. Thank you. Mine is supposed to be delivered today. New toy!

Great for pruning pines. Made quick work of it.
Mmmm... Milwaukee..❤️❤️❤️
I bought one for hunting and fishing and UTV with 2 x 9Ah batteries. It’s pretty silent compared to Gas chainsaw ... tanks for sharing... a big tumbs up !
Dany, thank you! It will be perfect for fishing and out on the utv. I have had a few friends pick them up for theirs as well. Thanks for being here
For homegardenig absolutly fine😉
See you on the next pixel,ha ha
Have a great day,Nick💚🌲💚🌳👊
Love this tool and I'm so getn one! Thanks for the review and getn us some vids to watch. Keep 'em coming friend! Good to see ya on the tube! And tell ur sis she did a great job on the video-ing 🌳🌲💚👊👍
You will like it. Im trying my best to film little things here and there. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation and I will let her know
I just picked one up yesterday! Just for the fact we go Atv riding and camping..
David its a great little tool, grab yourself an extra chain it goes thru oil fairly quickly but its great for the atv and camping. Thanks
@@NickPixelTV thanks nick great video bud! I will do that…
*Insane Bro!! Loved It! I Definitely Want To Buy One of Those! Awesome Review! 👏🏻 SOLD!*
Looks like a pretty cool tool . It would be great for building a deer blind in the woods and clearing shooting lanes. Thanks for sharing Nick
Agree with you there quiet too as not do disturb wildlife. Great idea for it
I love mine!
I’m impressed! Definitely I’ll get one .
Awesome can't wait to get mine
Awesome saw if you have Milwaukee tools and batteries. Great review brother, stay safe and stay positive.
Great review , best one yet . Thank you
Thank you Larry!!! Sorry for the delay.

As an arborist I kinda like the idea of having one for removing small deadwood in canopies. Kinda expensive here in Oz though. How much does it weigh?
I can see Milwaukee selling out of those I want one, do a video on that cool ford truck in the drive Nick
That video is happening my friend soon I hope haha. Honestly i just like to share tools that I find to work well and that milwaukee for what it is I can see being used all across the board. Everyone that has used it since I got it wants one.

Nice vid my friend, keep up the great work and Be Blessed!💪🏼🪓🌳🌲🦅🇺🇸
First! Now if it would put drywall screws in too that would be an absolute winner!
Looks cool
@@Casterman2 ya anwer ur own question.answer :) pretty cool xD
That is a great little saw
Thank you Dan! It gets use all the time ;))
Tanks for the video! Greetings from germany!
Germany awesome many blessings 🙋🏻♂️
Oh yeah that thing is sweet!
What kind of trees are you working there? That little saw seems to work fairly well...
She had a few cherry, oak and maple.. i may be wrong but that one looked like a north american east coast dry land high elevation maple. Some words may or may not be added for context
Careful you dont hurt yourself Big Boy. That a BIG SAW. Lol
Lol..its tough being left handed...i am both handed in work....either way, i like the tool
haha Thanks my friend appreciate the comment.
Hahahaha That Super Awesomeness.....
ooo XS effects xD Special E. xD
It's so cute but packs a punch
Thanx for the review bro
Anytime!!! Thank you
Thanks good review.
Thank you!!
Ok. I ordered one. Nice video!
Thank you! I just used mine tonight by the campfire I think you will like it 💪
Quality review. Suspect your largest cuts would be even faster if you knew the bucking spikes are in fact metal.
Plastic
Great . Where do u purchase the chains?
Can order them and or pick up at like home depot
Mice to see a Review by a Left Handed User :-)
Haha thank you ;)) 🤜🏼
Is the bucket truck stick ? Gas or diesel engine ?
5-speed with split rear - diesel - air brakes
Awesome, gotta do a vid of it !!
It’s really a tank need more downhills and the wind behind you lol.
ToolNut is a good site!
Being left handed and cutting like you were would have been much easier had you been coming from the opposite direction! Make it easier for yourself!
Im with you. We live in a right handed world lol. My sister is new at filming so I just wanted to get it done haha ;)
@ It is on both sides. 13:46
Great video brother.. whats the model number or part number for chain?
I believe replacement chain part number is - 49-16-2732 hope this helps thank you
@@NickPixelTV thanks 😊
Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost in the US? In the UK it's £360!!! That put me off straight away.
It's about $270 in Australia, I think that's about £180
COOL AF...👍
The bucking spikes are steel.
It’s cool, but I think I’d be faster with my Silky Big Boy tree saw.
The silky is pretty quick im not sure if faster but is possible Thanks!
never :() i am za 1st xD
I think thats a waste of money! A M18 Sawzall with a diablo pruning blade would be just as good and more versatile!! Try to cut a chunk of angle iron with that!
I'd say Hackzall considering this one can easily be used onehanded, but other than that I agree. This Hatchet saw seems like it is made for a very niche kind of customers.
Following up a year later and still use this saw all the time for random projects.
