One positive feature of the Ryobi 40V top-handle (similar to the M18) is that the scrench is behind the battery. So it can't fall out while you are cutting, and you can't work on the chain while the tool is active. I got the Ryobi for $150 'Murican, while the M18 is going for closer to $350 tool-only.
finally someone give this 2826 saw the fuckin review it deserves. It’s my go to saw for limbing bucking and not meant to fell any trees of any size but it’ll definitely do most small to even medium sized trees but it easily excels at doing everything a farmer, or someone who has a bit of property or fence line or trails to maintain it’s great but ime the best use case, which I don’t believe you got to address as you didn’t have a tree you needed to drop atm or at least on camera and I’m not busting your balls as it’s hard to squeeze everything into a short video but these saws imo are game changing for bucking fell trees etc but a gas saw you have to start and stop your saw a fair bit and in that situation this saw is really worth having..I’ve been hard on this saw for 6months now and it’s taken it in stride and has proven itself to be a true workhorse even up against an ms194 or ms201 in a single cut race it’ll hang with the best of em man but I will say myself as well as others (search Milwaukee chainsaw battery killer) others have noticed it as well so use only HO batteries under warranty cuz I’ve killed two 8.0ah batteries idk what it is about those in particular (probably different cells etc) but they will essentially fry the battery management system just from pulling too much current imo that’s happened to two packs and if you have a spot welder you can replace it and they will work again the packs will still read 18 to 20 v the banks of cells are all balanced but it won’t charge (usually thats indicative of a failed BMs) great video tho man much love from The flyover states
@@aronp713 yes I'm going to do a Live stream in a couple days I want to get a 16 inch Bar for it and I will be running the 6 AMP FORGE BATTERY when I get the new 8 and 12 amp FORGE BATTERIES whenever they come out
I continue to be amazed by the amount of trees, etc. that you seem to have in the backyard that can be sacrificed for pruners, saws, etc. I understand the parrot feeding and bamboo control requirements, but the general trees must be worried every time you step out the back door.
cool video as always. But is it better than the 40V Makita? As much of a Makita fanboy I am, but I like the housing around the battery on the Milwaukee. You just cant do that with the Makita batteries if you wanna get them out with one hand
Not sure if they changed it but early reviews I saw on this saw they said couldn’t move chain freely without resistance on the motor, which would be difficult if the chain got pinched on a bit cut. But definitely seems impressive power for 18 volt saw. But seems a little heavy. Especially if you put on a 12ah. I recently got some bl4040f for my xgt top handle. Great fast chain speed and no doubt I lot lighter than Milwaukee but definitely seems like Milwaukee got the power. Milwaukee new top handle chain saw mower and chemical sprayers seems very good.
I run makita my brother has milwakky All his gear seems heavier peice for peice That saw looks pretty awesome but the 3 inch nailer is stupid heavy Makita please bring out a framer
that's have higher rpm than makita (at least 2x 18v), probably safety thing on makita. as usual, red stuff is tuned to max, which kills motors and batteries quicker (can be clary seen/heard how much stress ypu can put on the motor before power cuf off kicks in. that wont last long, if doing some heavy work, imo.. but i do really hope your main focus stays on makita line and dont sold out (as many channels sadly do), there's lot enough red cowboy evangelists out there already.
I watched a good amount of reviews on this saw as it has peaked my interest but the one thing I haven’t seen talked about is the trigger. Is it variable speed or is it like the hedge trimmer and it’s full speed once activated.
Did I not show that in the video? I usually do, maybe it ended up on the editing floor??? Anyway, rest assured it DOES have a variable speed trigger. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Have you TRIED A BIGGER BAR just got mine on sale from ACME TOOLS and they THREW in a TWO PACK of 6 AMP XC HIGH HIGH OUTPUT BATTERIES but its only 12 inch Bar thinking about Putting a 16 inch BAR
Milwaukee are the hot rods, muscle cars, and monster trucks of the tool world; loud, powerful, rattling and rumbking but boow themselves apart and needing constant maintenance if really pushed to the limit. Dont get anywhere close to the limit and occasional use and they seem impressive, but all day, day in dau out with one tool doong a constanclt task and not switching between tools throughout the day they fail too quick.
Are you buying the cheep junk from Home Depot? I have Milwaukee Fuel tools from back in 2012 that I still run nearly daily, being in the construction industry. I’ve gone through 5 batteries that have become junk.
Great timing. Thanks for putting this up. I need a top handle for home and I've been agonizing over which one. Hope you're doing a comparison? Always enjoy your vids. Cheers PP
У Макиты скорость цепи шикарная, но крутящего нет от слова совсем, давить в принципе нельзя. Uc004g На разборе дерева если цепь свежая то проблем как правило нет, а вот чуть подсаженую уже не вывозит. Хорошо бы Макита выпустила низкооборотистую версию, потому что на верхушке важнее не скорость, а способность пилы отпилить если цепь поджимает или цепь что-то словила. Поговаривают что гринворкс 40в прям нормально тянут крутящим но чисто на одну задачу мне Макиты пока хватает.
@@El_Savenok-mh7fq У меня тоже старушка 353. Только цепь подзатупится, то более- менее крупный калибр уже ощутимо тяжелее идёт. А здесь как будто мотор на Холлах с серьёзно загрубленным токовым шунтом.)
@@Арчи-з8к у меня раньше была 353я и 204я, я их поменял на 004ю 40в. В целом с хорошим аккумуляторам не хуже 353й, но всяко тяжелее 204й, по ней прям скучаю особенно на высоком дереве.
@@Арчи-з8к да какая это старушка, это как раз актуальная пила, и ничего новее нее нет, если не считать 40в) Вот у меня DUC302 - вот это да, старушка. Но вроде как народ хвалит, за счет редуктора она вытягивает там, где не тянет 353. Ток у милки действительно чудовищный, уж не знаю как они этого добились, но и батареи и сам инструмент у них пашет на пике возможностей)
If been watching a lot of tool repair videos recently and it’s really put me off Milwaukee. they are not built to be repaired but warranty returned and thrown away. essentially built really badly. I don’t really like that disposable way of building things. but each to their own.
Wow, are you sure?) M18 is very powerful, i think it have the same level as Makita's 40v. Especially if we are talking about High output an Forge series
Whoa whoa I own both and even dewalt and ryobi and I seem to always grab the Milwaukee! Not on purpose but subconsciously so that’s why I’m going with the top handle that should arrive today or tomorrow
Would be interested to see it compares to the Makita 40 volt top handle
This saw is a beast. I absolutely am satisfied with my purchase

Wow, an electric chainsaw review by someone who actually knows how to cut wood. That saw seems to cut very well. Thank you!

Its a milwaukee chainsaw and she have a lot of torque i love mine its perfect i love to use this chainsaw with the forge

I run makita my brother has milwakky
All his gear seems heavier peice for peice
That saw looks pretty awesome but the 3 inch nailer is stupid heavy
Makita please bring out a framer
Review or compare MAKITA DUC307 (MUC357) please.
compare it to the Husqvarna T540i if you can!?
Thanks for all the reviews buddy I'm a builder in Auckland like your vids👌
Not allowed to make direct comparisons with the 40v top handle I’m guessing?
First first thoughts as well
Nah yeah
It's better the the makita 40v has more torque and doesn't cut out because of thermal protection
Hate to say it but milwaukee and and real chainsaw brands make a better battery saw
I will make a comparison video...
What.... have you finished all the makita tools
Filming an XGT video right now.
My M18 rear handle leaks more oil than it uses which is my only issue with it.
Good review bud thanks
that's have higher rpm than makita (at least 2x 18v), probably safety thing on makita. as usual, red stuff is tuned to max, which kills motors and batteries quicker (can be clary seen/heard how much stress ypu can put on the motor before power cuf off kicks in. that wont last long, if doing some heavy work, imo..

Any bar and chain options other than the Milwaukee version?

Rule one of chainsaw safety, is have fun.
Macrocarpa biscuit made me laugh
You know how to tell if the oiler is still working? It leaves a wet spot where you left it. 😂
Great timing. Thanks for putting this up. I need a top handle for home and I've been agonizing over which one. Hope you're doing a comparison? Always enjoy your vids. Cheers PP
Nice
Эта штука невероятно мужественно поддерживает обороты под нагрузкой. Макита однозначно пасёт задних. И скорость цепи как будто выше.

Dead the the third time I used it.
18v for a 14” bar? The battery will die sooner than normal!
I’ve given up with Milwaukee stuff, tools are average and their batteries are terrible. Makita in a different league.
