Milwaukee 2727 M18 FUEL 16" Chainsaw Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- With the Milwaukee 2727 M18 FUEL Chainsaw, you can choose a 16" or 14" bar and chain. The M18 FUEL brushless motor churns the sprocket at 6,600 RPM which delivers a chain speed of 2,440 FPM. Even after 31 cuts through 8-1/2" wet oak, we still had 3 bars left on the Milwaukee 12.0Ah battery. You can get the 2727 Chainsaw for $329 for the bare tool, or get the kit with the M18 Chainsaw, 12.0Ah battery, and Rapid Charger for $449.

I've had this saw for a while. The scrench is ridiculously difficult to remove. You almost need to carry a screwdriver to pry it out of the holder. My solution was to drill a small hole in the scrench and attach a short loop of small paracord. It doesn't get in the way and makes it very easy to just grab the loop and remove the scrench.
You are exactly right! It's a pain to get out, but we couldn't exactly bring it upon ourselves to really count that it in the review. It definitely doesn't come loose, and that's a great idea with the paracord. Thanks for watching.
My solution is to get something different, for a hell of a lot cheaper that works better. Thanks for the input.
Great video! I have not used this saw a ton yet, but I agree 100%, do not try to use non-high output batteries. Even the 6 amp hour high output will work fine, you'll just get less run time. I did try to use the standard 5 amp hour battery but overheated rather quickly. I suppose if you are limbing up 4-in material and you swap out batteries to keep them cool they may work okay.
Why can't anyone ever make a video displaying a live tree being cut down rather than a log on a stand. Make the test realistic for the average person looking for a saw.
Buy one and do the demonstration for the rest of us.
Dry wood is going to be harder to cut. Live tree will cut faster
They’ll cut live trees just as fast as a gas chainsaw
I bought the saw, I don’t like this saw, it’s been in the repair longer than it’s been in use. what happens is for some reason when you pull the trigger it just doesn’t work so they replace the electronics assembly twice now. And nothing wrong with the batteries.
I think most people don't own a tree that they have a good reason to fell, so they would be yelled at for cutting down healthy trees for no good reason.
I gave you the thumb up just for your reco on not taking the batter down to fail. I take'm down to one bar and then if I am in the shop I keep an eye on the charge and take them off as soon as see the 4th bar. This will greatly extend your batteries life 20% to 80% for long life.
I've had this since shortly after it was released, and it's definitely been put to use. Works great. I love it. Although the 12ah battery was a lemon, and the replacement Milwaukee sent me ended up being a lemon as well. That's one battery of theirs I cannot recommend.
I’ve heard that when the 12ah sit too long at low battery (usually on the shelves or at warehouse) cells start dying. Same with all size and brand batteries but the 12 ah makes this more likely since there are more cells. Also heard it helps to leave the batteries charging for 24 hrs on the first charge of the battery because they have a “memory”. Also can happen after running the battery completely dead and then leaving it out in the cold for hours.
I learned about this years ago and I have had way more success and longevity out of my batteries. My oldest one being a 11 yr old 6ah RYOBI battery. Which is unheard of for Ryobi
They did have some issues with the 12Ah battery, We probably have 20+ 12Ah M18 batteries that we've had in our shop, and we had one with an issue, after many uses. Thanks for watching.
Will this run ok on an 8ah or even a 6? Thanks?
@@markashlock9017 should run fine with either.
You really know your stuff my friend. Very helpful video in many ways, not just for this model. I`ve got the Makita 36 volt and it`s not as powerful as this Milwaukee.
I mill logs with my cordless saw instead of using my gas saw. These things make decent power and are much easier on the ears. I also no longer have to donate blood in order to pay for gas to put in it 💵
Until your electricity goes out lol
@@shanew7361 I'm solar charging large capacity lithium power banks. I keep them for grid down situations and to charge devices and batteries on a daily basis.
Great idea. Thanks for watching.
I like my stihl… it starts every time, it runs awesome.
Best info on this Chainsaw I've seen. will make my purchase much easier !👍
Great video, really in depth and good video footage. I really appreciate the tip about which batteries really should be used with this. I bought a 2-pack of 8.0 high output batteries. Hopefully this will do with the trees I want to cut up.
I loved this review! I have been thinking about buying this model for a while now, and you helped me make my decision. Thank you
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching.
A very good review. Informative and no nonsense. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for watching.
I would like to see 16 and 18 inch Dual Battery chainsaws just like the new 20 inch.
Thanks for the review, I have this saw and wanted the top handle for size but I’ll keep this because of the two bolts holding the bar. More because the way I carry it on the atv by the bar.
Yes, the double stud and bar nuts will definitely provide more stability and strength.
@@Shoptoolreviews if I can sell my gas top handle then I can buy this one.
😊
Just ordered one kit Father's day to me.
A saw like this would certainly make me happy i already have 4 12Ah batteries and two 8Ah. The kit would give me an extra for not too much more than the battery itself costs.
Hi... great video... but what kind of oil does it take? Like car oil? 😅
Do you prefer the 2826 or the 2727? Do you have a comparison video?
The 16 inch is ok but I think think it needs an upgrade especially faster chain speed.
Thanks for a great review! I'm looking between the 14 and 16
I like mine i throw a 18" bar and chain and she takes it like a champ.
I'm sure it does quite well with the 18". Not a bad idea. Thanks for watching.
What the brand of the impact wrench?
Great video my friend. Thanks for taking the time to make this! Did you make your yellow log saw horse. Thats really cool. It would be great to see an image of that or how you made it. Thanks again
So at $259 for the milwaukee 2727 16” or the Dewalt DCCS6772B 18” for $264. I cant decide.
Thumbs up for the calculations
This video is now 1 year old, How is the saw holding up ? I’ve heard both good and bad things about them.
I’ve been cutting trees up for extra money lately, trying to supplement our income. My wife is currently disabled so it’s just me working, and so I am doing everything I can to keep our heads above water right.
My old gas chainsaws are getting pretty finicky lately and I am now considering this M18 cordless saw, the kit is running $500 and as I said, right now that’s A LOT of money for us to be plunking down on something that isn’t going to hold up. I’m real curious to see what you folks have to say about it.
Milwaukee does make some pretty decent tools lately, and so I am really curious. Thanks for your advice 👍
Wonder how this compares to the Makita
18-Volt X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 16 in. Electric Chain Saw? I am in both battery platforms.
We will see very soon. ;) Thanks for watching.
Will be any different with the new forge battery?
Great video, now I have to get one! XD
Imagine if gas chainsaws just started to get weaker when you get below a quarter tank😂😂
On sale now for $425 with extra chain.
On sale now with leaf blower and battery 449
I would love to see this versus the Makita XGT. So far, I’ve avoided the latter tool line due to the high cost of the 40v batteries. It’s also annoying that they give you the 4.0 ah 40v “free” with the chainsaw and reciprocating saw. I wouldn’t want anything less than the 5.0 ah. Sucks when they try to give away the low end items on the platform which won’t operate the tool to its full capacity.
По крайней мере макита,хоть такие,
акб но дает бесплатно,а милуоки ничего не дает
Great vid very informative!
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
You didnt mention warranty but still nice video 👍
3 years on both the saw and battery
Can someone please explain why it says fuel when it's electric
😂 🤣
It's their way of saying "high power brushless." There is a standard brushless but it typically doesn't have the same power. But "FUEL" was an odd choice.

@@jeffh7021 Lol why do they leave this out!?!?
@13thZeus I bought some fuel tools, and that was a question I also had. I wish they would also share all the little bonus features that I discover by accident or see only after other people have shared. Like the way the bit holders snap into snug, perfectly shaped locations in some of the tool boxes. There are several clever but never mentioned design aspects on their products. Another example is how the packout lids are predrilled for attaching the battery chargers. I also used to hate having to fight the bit and drill cases to get a bit. It seemed to be a terrible design flaw until I learned how they actually work. Now I believe they are actually superior to most designs, despite the secrecy. Haha
Most people cut wood with improperly sharpened chains so the batteries die fast
Great chainsaw..sprocket seems to wear out with heavy use...
Has anyone ever had the handle to come loose or have movement? Thanks
Has anyone used it in -40° temp? Run time in extreme cold?
I think you can take the day off when it is that cold 😂😂 we're running Milwaukee drills on ice augers at -20f and the auger freezes up before the drill quits. Where are you that it's negative 40 on even a remote basis 😂😂

How does this do with smaller batteries?
Do not try to use non-high output batteries with this chainsaw. They will cut ok but overheat quickly.
Can I use a milwaukee 6hd amp battery on it ?
Yes, you can.
Can you use a food grade oil like olive or vegetable I’ll be using for making compost ingredients
For bar oil? Sure, you can. Vegetable and Olive might be a little thin. Maybe you could mix it with something to make it a little thicker.
@@Shoptoolreviews what you think that would be food grade? Thanks again.
@@niceglass6484 yes I use canola oil, it’s a little thin but works fine for small jobs.
Yea sure just mix it all up with syrup too while your in your little apron and then go to cutting 😂
@@slowb4lls1 lol, wait til the tree huggers try to ban them all. I’ll just say I’m making a salad.
so hard to get the spanner out
saw does not sit flat rocks an rolls
chain dog is not long enough to grab log
the chain comes off a lot, and furry bark gets clogged under cover remove 1; off the cover
great saw just some design faults
Didn’t work out that way for me. Slow. Batteries overheated and again again
Which batteries were you using? We literally made all these cuts back to back, along with many other sets. Not once did we have a battery overheat. We've seen this before in other tools, but we didn't have it happen on this Milwaukee chainsaw and 12.0Ah battery.
@@Shoptoolreviews use the 5 amp then bought the 12 amp. Batteries.
@@Shoptoolreviews Mine melted 2 terminals on 2 12.0Ah batteries. They acually get stuck in the chainsaw.
My 12ah batteries keep overheating as well and the chain keeps getting loose when using it, it’s also really tough to cut through some logs with it.
👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Excuse me, sir! Not cool! what's with the plunge cutting!? That's a great way to get a viewer killed or catastrophically injured. Your viewers include a lot of regular folk who are NOT aware of the hazards of operating a chainsaw. Plunge cuts are for the professional trade -not for casual viewers. So, here's the caveat for the casual user: never cut with the tip of the bar. Going forward, I expect this channel will demonstrate greater discretrion in the demonstration footage.
Lots of loggers cut plunges get over it
@@freedomlawnservice1987 Shouldn't you be blowing leaves into some neighbors driveway?
👏👌🪵🇳🇴🤠
By far the worst battery-operated chainsaw on the market
By far? lulz. go buy your ryobi quality then
@@jeffmee9326 actually ryobi beat the Milwaukee
Do you prefer the 2826 or the 2727? Do you have a comparison video?
